                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Honda Activa e

                  • The overall design is really neat and resembles the ICE Activa
                  • A claimed 102km of riding range will be good enough for over three days of daily commuting
                  • Gets a large 7.0-inch TFT which supports turn-by-turn navigation
                  • Swappable battery technology means that riders wont have to worry about waiting around for hours to charge their scooter while on the go

                  Vespa ZX

                  • Powerful 125cc engine delivers impressive performance
                  • Upright riding position provides a comfortable riding experience
                  • 7.4-litre fuel tank means lesser fuel stops, bigger than its rivals
                • Honda Activa e

                  • Misses out on under seat storage because the swappable batteries are stored there
                  • Only available in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru in the first phase of sales
                  • Base variant does not get connectivity features via the Honda RoadSync Duo phone application

                  Vespa ZX

                  • It is one of the most expensive 125cc scooters on the market
                  • Has small 10-inch wheels on both ends, much smaller than its rivals
                  • The hump in the floorboard limits the goods-carrying capacity

                  A good choice in segment Activa E
                  Honda is known brand and trusted as well. Previous I was using honda activa petrol and my experience was very good with that as well. And now I am very happy with activa so far it is a very good ride experience. So far I am enjoying the ride and it is very smooth. Honda is known for quality and it prove it in all aspects. I loved riding it and giving very good mileage as well. Ride quality is also very good. I liked it. My reason to buy this scooter is quality and mileage. It is one of best in its segment. If you want a smooth ride and good mileage go for activa ev. Also you save lots of buks shelling in petrol so it is good choice.

                  Smart Move from Petrol to Electric
                  I chose Activa E because my old petrol scooter was getting costly. Every month I spent lot on fuel. I wanted something smart and simple. When I saw Honda Activa E I liked the look and comfort. So I booked it without much thinking. The ride is clean and peaceful. No petrol smell, no noise. It feels like riding a cycle with power. I charge it once every two days. Even my dad liked it and now uses it sometimes. It is very smooth and easy. Yes I tell everyone to go for the electric now. Activa E is from a trusted brand and feels safe. No gear, no clutch. Just ride and enjoy. It is simple and useful for all ages. Very happy with my decision.

                  Eco Dream Ride Finally Real
                  I always wanted to ride something eco friendly. I saw people buying electric scooters but I waited for Honda because I knew they had make something good. When Activa E launched I went for test ride and booked it the same day. The ride is soft and light. My mother also rides it sometimes and says it is very comfortable. Once we went 40 km in one day and came back with charge still left. It does not make any sound and that feels nice. Very calm ride. Yes go for it. If you care about the environment and want to save fuel cost this scooter is best. It looks modern and feels just like the old Activa but electric. I love riding it daily and feel proud I made the switch.

                  Waited for Honda’s Electric Model
                  I saw petrol prices going up every month and decided to buy electric scooter. I waited for Honda to launch their model because I trust them more. When Activa E came out I went to the showroom and booked it. I liked the comfort and look. The best thing is how easy it is to ride. My younger brother also rides it and finds it easy. It starts fast no delay. I charge it overnight and it is ready next morning. Once I forgot to charge but eco mode helped save battery. Yes I fully recommend it. Perfect for local travel, smooth roads and daily use. It is quiet, light and does not pollute. And it saves a lot of money. No petrol, no oil change. Just clean and ride. I feel smart using it.

                  Vespa review
                  Of course Colour and branding these scooty has a killer road presence Iconic retro style classic, vespa monocoque steel body that stands out premium paint quality and modern finish, quality had a great look. Positive- colour and acceleration it can be road presence but small size not a big machine but small enough to make a great vehicle and it can make it look good. Cons mileage and availability of spare parts. Yes I do recommend for my family and friends circle also neighbours. It can be a very classic choice for daily life uses but it can afford by anybody who is a passionate person and who has a good knowledge about scooters.

                  Vespa ZX was the worst of many purchases
                  Vespa ZX was the worst of many purchases. Without any pretenses, problems started cropping up just after 6 month of use and at 5000 kms, a service charge of 3000 rs was levied on a brand new scooter. Even after informing about the problem regarding the engine light, it was ignored till the fifth payment when the excuse was fuel pump. That experience has made me realise that Vespa services are just a scam and spares cost more than other brands. However, the break of the scooter broke down after a year of use, which was completely opposite to the kind of reliability I had expected.
