We noticed the growing market in the electric two-wheeler space in India and realised that a simple spec comparision would help potential buyers make a better, more informed decision. We chose these three as our contenders as they fall in similar price brackets and come from well-known and established brands in our country
Powertrain
| Activa-e | e-Access | Rizta S (2.9 kWh) | |
| Motor | Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor | N/A | Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor |

| Torque (Nm) | 22 | 15 | 22 |
| Range (IDC) | 102 km | 95 km | 123 km |
The Activa-e produces the most power among the three and also has a battery that claims to return 102 km off a single charge. The Rizta S (2.9 kWh) has the highest claimed range, 123 km, in this comparison.

| Wheelbase (mm) | 1310 | 1305 | 1285 |
| Ground clearance (mm) | 171 | 165 | 165 |
The e-Access is the heaviest scooter of the three weighing in at 122 kg. The seat height of the Activa-e is the most accessible at 675 mm while the Rizta S has the tallest seat height of 780 mm.
Suspension, brakes and tyres
| Activa-e | e-Access | Rizta S (2.9 kWh) | |
| Front suspension | Telescopic fork | Telescopic fork | Telescopic fork |
| Rear suspension | 3-step adjustable damped monoshock | Damped monoshock | Damped monoshock |

| Rear Tyre | 110/80-12 | 100/80-12 | 100/80-12 |
Though the front suspension on all three are telescopic forks, the rear suspension on the Activa-e is an adjustable unit whereas the e-Access and the Rizta S get non-adjustable monoshocks. There is a combi-brake setup on the Rizta S and it gets a 220-mm disc at the front. The front tyres are the same on all three but the Activa-e gets a 110/80-12 rear tyre whereas the e-Access and the Rizta get 100/80-12 rubber.
Price
| Activa-e | e-Access | Rizta S (2.9 kWh) | |
| Ex-showroom (Delhi) | Rs 1.17 lakh | Rs 1.00-1.20 lakh (estimated) | Rs 1.12 lakh |
On the pricing front, the Activa-e costs a bit more than the Rizta-S but we cannot make a definitive conclusion without the final pricing of the e-Access. We look forward to bringing you a detailed comparison once we get our hands on these electric two-wheelers.
