I choose raider because one of my friend suggested me to buy as this bike is good nice looks and good mileage. The solo seat version of the bike is very good looking like similar to pulsar and it feels very light weight to ride this bike. The ride with the TVS raider was amazing till now, no breaking points were given by this bike, still rides the same smooth and the sound of the filter of this bike is best. The disc provided is also good, breaks tyres, engines, every thing is very good. I would like to recommend this bike to everyone other because of its looks, smooth rides, pretty good disc, nice colours, best engines, nice mileage and more than that the trust on TVS. They have been creating beats like this for very long now.Read More
For my daily up and down from office, when I have a bike, my petrol costs are very high and servicing, maintenance are then my electric scooter, so I decided to buy an under budget scooter. So I buy this. In this scooter, better comfort than other scooter. This is cost effective scooter. When your daily running is under 80 km, then this will best for you. This is RTO registered scooter. This scooter have 70 km/hr top speed. This scooter is good for student and older, girls and delivery partner and courier boy for better earning. This is easy to use and affordable price, better battery pack and nice look, big seat and USB socket. At the end, Vida VX2 is my good choice.Read More
