Zelio Eeva vs Udchalo Virbike V2

I recently got my hands on the Udchalo Virbike V2 and to be honest, I didn’t had too much expectations in beginning. But after using it for few weeks now, I can say it is actually a solid bike in this range. I mainly use it for daily office commute and sometimes for weekend short rides, and it has not disappointed me till now. First thing I liked is the design – very simple yet attractive look. Matte finish gives it a bit premium feel. It don’t look cheap at all, which is surprising at this price point. Also, it’s lightweight and easy to handle, specially in traffic. The seat is also quite comfortable, although for long rides it can feel little bit hard. I think they should improve padding. Performance wise, pickup is decent. It won’t give you a race bike feeling, but for city rides, it does the job well. I get mileage around 55-60 kmpl, which is not bad. Gear shifting is smooth but sometimes I feel 1st to 2nd gear lags a bit. Brakes are responsive enough, though rear brake could be little more stronger. What impressed me the most is the service. Udchalo service team is quite helpful and cooperative. I faced small issue with headlight and they solved it quickly under warranty. Overall, it’s a value for money bike. Perfect for daily use, specially for college students or office goers like me. Just don’t expect any superbike features. For what you pay, it’s actually giving more.
