The VX2 Plus is the most affordable here

The Vida VX2 Plus is the most affordable option if chosen with Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) – a model where you rent the battery and pay only for the distance you ride every month. Even if you buy the VX2 Plus with the battery bundled, it is one of the most affordable scooters here, at Rs 1.10 lakh.

The Bajaj Chetak 3503 is priced similarly to the Vida VX2 Plus, followed by the Chetak 3502 and iQube 3.5, both priced at Rs 1.23 lakh. Moving up the chain, the iQube S is priced Rs 7,000 above the 3502 and the standard variant. The top-spec 3501 is priced at Rs 1.35 lakh, undercutting its chief rival – the iQube 3.5 ST – by Rs 10,000.

Despite the recent launch of the more affordable Ather Rizta S 3.7, it still ends up priced above its rivals here. The Rizta Z 3.7 is the most expensive option in this comparison, priced at Rs 1.50 lakh.
