Thank you to the good people posting links. Got them both for ₹3,621.

I was honestly pretty pissed at myself when I missed the AE1200 when it first went on sale. I was out hiking that day and the sunset was too good to miss.

The next day, I saw the W218H available and decided to get it as a consolation prize. I originally wanted the pink one.

A few days later, I saw someone post about the MRW-200. I checked it out but didn't really fancy it. While scrolling through the app, though, I suddenly saw the AE1200 back on sale.

I didn't think twice. Just grabbed it.

Funny thing is, I had initially been eyeing the brown leather strap version. Then I saw a colleague wearing the metal bracelet version in person and immediately thought, yeah, I want that one.

I guess sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to, but end up working out better anyway.

P.S. the last photo is of the sunset that day

I recently got this quote for the Vida VX2 Plus 3.4 kWh (pincode: 760032)

My primary use case will be daily commuting in Delhi NCR, so reliability, real-world range, and after-sales service matter more than outright performance.

The other scooter I'm seriously considering is the Ather Rizta S 3.5 kWh.

Initially, I was looking at the Vida VX2 Plus 4.4 kWh, but it would cost around ₹20k more than the 3.4 kWh version and the 4.4 kWh model is expected to get around ₹20–22k in subsidy, I'm still unsure whether the extra battery capacity is worth stretching my budget.

For those who own either of these scooters:

How's the real-world range?

How has the service experience been?

Would you choose the Vida or the Rizta for long-term ownership?

Is the 4.4 kWh Vida worth spending extra on, or is the 3.4 kWh version sufficient for city use? I WFH so somedays the vehicle won't even move and on somedays it would go around 70_80 kms

Would love to hear your experiences and recommendations.
