i want a electric bike/scooter for city use which can hold good with 2 riders and around 20km of daily run
i dont want any powerful bike with 150Cc of engine or so ... just need a bike that is good for normal use

is there any reliable electric bike which can do the job or should i go with conventional petrol bike

IMHO go for conventional petrol bike ..
electric scooter wear out early. my friend had a yo bike. He had battery problems after some time and then he sold it.

who says go for 150cc, go for 100-110cc moped like activa. if you don't want big ones, get the small one like 'Deo (honda)' .
