Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which scooter is best for bad roads, I want to buy Vespa 125. - VXL 125?
  • In my opinion, Vespa VXL 125 is good in terms of road grip as it has wide tyres, better sitting position and comfirtable handling. But, Vespa suspensions are little stiff in my personal opinion and seats are quit firm so if you are riding on long strech of bad road you will feel pain in your waists and wrists.Although, as I said initially due to its wide tyres and better sitting position, it holds the roads better.
  • It is better to buy good suspension scooter if daily commuting in bumpy roads.Apart, Vespa vxl 125 reaches 90kmph in highway easily with nice handling and excellent braking even it has no abs. Overpriced.bottom will touch on curvy humps.
  • The VXL 125 is good on bad roads because of it’s aircraft inspired suspension setup and heavier weight due to its all metal monocoque construction. Also, it is very stable on the highways, making it the ideal scooter for long trips.

    I’ve driven hero optima 

    I’ve driven hero optima for about 2.5 years and here is my detailed review comfort: this ev is very uncomfortable for people of any age and you cant drive it for long distance even if it has capacity to go 120 kms straight in 5 hrs charging so if are looking for something comfortable never buy this price: i got this in dual battery for 60000 so this was a acceptable option at the time but today it cost about 1.5 lacs so a big nooservice: most frustrating part of this is service it just a headache in a tenure of 2.5 years it lived in service center for more than 3 months straight just because parts are never available even if you are ready to pay a handsome amount of money which do not justify the cheap quality material usedmy tires would go flat anytime my body has started breaking with cracks between plastic and this all after i take most care of my vehicles so overall go for ola or may be some cc bike but just don’t look at this.

    Terrible experience 

    Terrible experience with hero optima.Battery failure nightmare.I purchased hero electric optima a year ago for business purpose at hefty price of 78000/-.Just 4 months before the battery failed.Being on warrant the company has failed to give replacement of battery.It has been 4 months and no proper commitment from company.Like me more than 300 customers have faced the same issue and the bikes are stand still in their service centres.Don’t purchase this bike.

    Embodies the Spirit of Sustainable City Travel. 

    The Okinawa Ridge invites you to explore an undiscovered home. This electric motor scooter may give a veritably ultrapractical and effective boost for beginners to the megacity. Its satiny and truly ultrapractical project draws concentration. Because to the thorough webbing processes, you may travel with confidence. It has a remarkable range and is aimed for long peregrinations through megacities. The main argument I like this model is its unanticipated capacity to give, which makes it an excellent volition for individualities appearing for an electric scooter that matches their brazen-facedattitude.The electric motor on the two- wheeler is in fantastic shape and has an emotional range. It also seems unanticipated.

    Decent electric bike for the price 

    I have been riding hero electric optima cx with dual battery in hyderabad since july, 2022 and here is my feedback: good: - two batteries, So you always have a backup - both batteries removable, So you can remove each battery separately and charge at home or anywhere.- two chargers provided that work for both batteries, So you can keep one at home and one in bike for emergencies.- low pricebad: - very low ground clearance, Bottom hits most of the speed breakers.- very slow on slopes.- slow on plain roads too with an adult pillion rider.- top speed of 45 kmph, Feels less on empty roads sometimes.- pathetic customer service and delivery experience.- not high quality materials used, Does not feel robust overall.

    Classic Elegance with Modern Flares 

    Ever since I got my Vespa VXL 125, each ride has felt somewhat like a parade. This scooter does not just get you from point A to B, it does so with an unmatched style. The glossy paint, rounded mirrors and stylish finish capture everyone's attention. The performance is reliable with a 125 cc engine that offers smooth acceleration and achieves a mileage of about 45 kmpl.On the downside, the Vespa VXL 125 could improve its seat comfort it feels a little stiff during longer rides.

    not to be settling for less 

    My Vespa VXL 125 is a stylish and practical option in the 125cc scooter segment, offering a blend of classic Vespa design with modern features at a slightly more affordable price point. It is a partner of my father since 1 year . It has a 124.45cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. The VXL 125 features the classic Vespa design with a rounded headlight, chrome accents, a comfortable seat. ABS is not available on any variant of the VXL 125 which is a major concern for safety .

    Good pickup and different look 

    It is a fashion icon scooter and is a very nice scooter with great pickup and the power in this scooter is also good. The space in this scooter is very good and is also comfortable scooter but the parts are not available everywhere. The smoothness of this scooter is very good without any vibration and the ride quality is good but the price is high. It gives a very different feeling to drive this scooter and the stability of this scooter is good but the suspension is hard.

    This scooter stands out with its elegant design  

    I have been riding the Vespa VXL 125 for a few months and it is very easy to handle. This scooter stands out with its elegant design and the smooth curves which encapsulate the classic Italian style. Equipped with a 125cc engine, it mirrors the power output of the SXL model providing sufficient thrust for roaming through traffic.Handling is a high point, courtesy of its well designed front suspension and sturdy rear. The braking with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, instills confidencenspecially in sudden stop scenarios.
