Piaggio Vespa vs Gemopai Astrid Lite Comparison

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.

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.
