The Gemopai Astrid Lite is an electric scooter from Gemopai, an EV startup. It has the design and looks of a typical Chinese-origin electric scooter and it is offered in three battery variants of 1.7 kW, 2.16 kW and 2.88 kW, at different price points. The availability of the Astrid Lite is still not pan India and with range of just 60-65 km in the real world and a top speed of just 45-50 kmph. There are better options in the market, if you need to purchase a slow-speed electric scooter.

It is a viable alternative to a conventional scooter offering impressive performance, excellent riding dynamics and, sheer practicality despite the limited range. The scooter's tech-laden nature also makes it quite the gadget to have. With an asking price of about ₹ 1.25 lakh (on-road, Bangalore), the Ather 450 isn't too differently priced than the top-of-the-line iPhone. In either case, it's a premium for what's on sale but we do think it's a worthy buy, for you will enjoy the experience.
