Gemopai Astrid Lite vs Yamaha Ray-ZR 125FI 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.

Intended for a younger crowd, the Yamaha RayZR 125 Fi looks stylish thanks to its retro design. But its positives are not limited to its looks as the engine is equally potent and has high refinement level with a linear power deleivery to make cruising easy. But we don't like the overall plastic quality of the scooter and Yamaha could've worked on this. Leg space is inadequate, and makes hooking up titbits difficult. The brakes also could've been better as it lacks initial bite.
