Which one should you get?

If budget is the only factor, the K 24 is cheapest. If you want the longest range for the least money, the A 26, I 26 and I 27.5 all cover up to 60 km, more than double the K 24's range, for under ₹3,000 more. If you want control over pedal assist, the I 27.5 is the only one under ₹30,000 that offers it.
