EeVe Soul vs Yamaha XSR 155 Comparison

The Eeve Soul is an electric scooter, which gets a range of up to 120 km. The scooter gets a lithium-ferro-phosphate battery, which can be charged fully in 5 hours. The scooter has a maximum loading capacity of 140 kg and is a decent option for urban commuting. It gets a bunch of features like USB port, bottle case, Bluetooth speaker, adjustable levers, display etc. It is available across the country and its ex-showroom price is Rs. 1.40 lakh, which is at par with other electric scooters. It is a decent scooter, offering decent features and performance.

The Yamaha XSR 155 is one bold move from the Japanese brand, being a neo-retro offering that proves that classic aesthetics can coexist with good performance and dynamics. This machine is genuinely fun when you push its throttle hard, and it handles most of the riding stuff well, such as braking confidence or superbly executed corners.

Sure, it has its flaws, as any other motorcycle does. For instance, the stiff ride quality may annoy some, while the switchgear plastics do not feel like they belong on a premium motorcycle at all. The seating is also focused on making the rider comfortable, not the pillion; the latter suffers during long trips.

But if you are a solo rider in love with the vintage aesthetic but dislike the heavy, lazy nature of traditional classic bikes, the XSR 155 presents the perfect middle ground. It gives you the raw excitement of a proper sports bike, cleverly disguised as a retro beauty.
