No, you can easily commute with a pillion. There are adjustable power delivery modes, when you need that push to clear a hill. Quote:
2) Charging infrastructure is still not very developed

Depends on how you ride. The actual range figures are adequate for city rides. One needs to adjust to the dynamics of an EV. Quote:
4) After being used to a petrol, adjusting may be difficult.

You would be surprised that it will be the other way around. I've ridden Ather and the Warp mode in it is addictive and helpful for those small window overtakes. In contrast, I need to plan my overtakes well in advance in my personal ICE scooter (125 CC Honda Grazia) Quote: Pros of getting a petrol scooter :
1) Have run in the past, Is running in the present, and will run for a long time to come.

Electric may not the defacto solution, but it sure is to stay. Quote:
2) Convenient in terms of fuel compared to Charging stations

Depends on the use case, but true.
Again depends on riding style, use case. Quote:
4) Something that we are obviously used to.

EV's are easier to adjust than how people think about it. But of course, your mileage may vary.
For scooters, as its mostly used intra city, EVs make sense. Options from Ather seems expensive, but worth the price from my experience. Can't comment about iQube.
If you plan to go the ICE route, avoid Honda at all cost. They have poor quality control these days. Mod Note : Please do NOT reply to posts using bold text within a quoted post, as it leads to visual discomfort for readers. Additionally, it's inconvenient to quote & reply to such a post.
