Hero Electric Optima CX vs Piaggio Vespa Comparison

Hero Electric, India's largest electric two-wheeler manufacturer, introduced the all-new Hero Electric Optima CX few years ago. The city speed electric scooter was recently updated with cruise control. The Hero Optima CX City Speed electric scooter gets a 550 W motor along with a 30 Ah lithium-ion battery. The range of the scooter is about 82 km on a single charge and the maximum speed of the scooter is about 42 kmph. The scooter takes 4-5 hours to charge fully.

The Piaggio Vespa is a fun scooter, with a likeable old-school design that has been around for almost five decades. It offers decent performance, has a stiff ride quality. It handles well too but is now getting a little long in the tooth, with Piaggio not having made any recent and significant updates in the last few years. Despite decent dynamics, the brakes lack bite, and the scooter is on the expensive side, even for 150 cc scooter models.
