So good so far
It's good as of now, the instant power of an ev is thrilling. Charging time is decent. Milega could have been a bit more but don't get me wrong, it's not low but a liye more would have been a charm. Comfort wise it's good, have used it for long trips. This is my first ev so I can't say about the longevity... Let's see, I will update in future.

Aprilia SXR 160 is built for better comfort
Aprilia SXR 160 can be considered as the successor to the older Kinetic Blaze and enters the Indian maxi scooter space right where the latter left off. Aprilia SXR 160 is built for better comfort and features than the SR 160 and promises to fill the niche that exists between a traditional Indian scooter and a proper maxi scooter.
