Gemopai Astrid Lite is one of the most economical options if you are looking to buy an electric scooter in 2020 in India. Electric vehicles are in a weird spot in India currently. On the one hand, we have multiple auto manufacturers showcasing and announcing their next generation of EVs.
At the same time, on the other, due to a lack of support from the government and slow infrastructure development, these vehicles take time to reach the market.
This ambiguity has been slowing down the adoption rates in what is supposed to be one of the biggest EV markets in the future.
But then, there are a few companies who decide to take the plunge and face the potential risk of not being able to appeal to enough consumers. These include Ather, Okinawa, Revolt, and even Hyundai.
Gemopai Electric was another quiet electric two-wheeler manufacturer that is now entering the mainstream market with its Astrid Lite.
