Gemopai Astrid Lite vs Hero XPulse 200T Comparison

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.

A tourer version to the Xpulse range, the Xpulse 200T offers equally satisfying ride in the city as it does on the highways, coupled with excellent handling dynamics going over in corners helps its case. However, the design is not its strongest virtue, as is a vibrating engine at higher speeds that creeps into the handlebar. The absence of a fuel injected engine also adds to a low refinement on the engine.
