When you think “scooter,” your mind probably jumps to something sensible, cheap, and endlessly reliable. But what happens when you take that template and throw in European design, superbike-level performance, and a price tag that makes your accountant sweat? You get the most expensive scooters currently on sale in India. They’re niche, over-the-top, and completely unnecessary — which is exactly why they’re irresistible.
BMW CE 04
Price: ₹15.25 lakh
The king of them all. The BMW CE 04 is a futuristic maxi-scooter that looks like it was designed for Blade Runner extras. Fully electric, it packs an 8.9 kWh battery, 130 km of claimed range, and a top speed of 120 km/h. It’s not just performance — it’s dripping with tech, from a massive 10.25-inch TFT display to smartphone connectivity and fast charging. At ₹15.25 lakh, it’s easily the most expensive scooter in India and also the most radical.
Honda X-ADV
Price: ₹12.36 lakh
Adventure scooter. Yes, that’s a thing. The Honda X-ADV blurs the line between scooter and motorcycle with rugged styling, long-travel suspension, spoke wheels, and a 745cc parallel-twin engine good for 57.8 bhp. It even comes with a dual-clutch transmission, multiple riding modes, and genuine off-road capability. It’s as absurd as it sounds — a scooter you could theoretically ride up a mountain trail.
BMW C 400 GT
Price: ₹11.75 lakh
This is where scooters stop being scooters and start being touring machines. The BMW C 400 GT comes with a 350cc single-cylinder engine pushing 33.5 bhp, enough for proper highway performance. You get luxuries like a large windscreen, a TFT screen with connectivity, ABS, traction control, and acres of comfort. It’s not a city runabout; it’s a long-distance, cross-country maxi-scooter with German engineering stamped all over it.
BMW CE 02
Price: ₹4.49 lakh
BMW calls it an “eParkourer,” which is a marketing way of saying this is not your standard e-scooter. The CE 02 is electric, futuristic, and unapologetically weird in design. It gets a claimed range of 90 km, a top speed of 95 km/h, and plenty of connected features. It’s meant for short urban runs, but let’s be real — most people will buy it because it looks like it rode straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Keeway Sixties 300i
Price: ₹3.30 lakh
Retro, but with a luxury twist. The Sixties 300i takes inspiration from classic Italian scooters, with chrome accents, a quilted seat, and throwback curves. Underneath, it’s the same 278cc engine as the Vieste, but the appeal here is all aesthetic. Think of it as a fashion accessory on wheels, ideal if you want to channel vintage vibes without actually living with an unreliable old scooter.
Keeway Vieste 300
Price: ₹3.25 lakh
The Vieste 300 is Keeway’s take on the maxi-scooter format, and it’s all about presence. You get a 278cc liquid-cooled engine that makes 18.7 bhp, decent for city and highway runs. The styling leans premium with twin headlamps, chunky bodywork, and a modern instrument console. It’s less about outright speed and more about feeling like you’ve upgraded from the daily commuter to something that commands attention at traffic lights.
