In the electric scooter market, we would recommend you take a look at the Ather Rizta 2.9 variants, Bajaj Chetak 3001 and the TVS iQube 2.2 / 3.1 for your usage. All three have large storage spaces under the seat, with at least 30 litres of space available, if not more.

The Ather is the only one that will give you a touchscreen colour TFT display on the higher Z variants if that is of interest to you. If not, the S variants have the same underpinnings with a few features less while also costing much less. 

The iQube and Chetak are proven products and have a straightforward scooter riding experience. They are appreciated by lakhs of people and are sure to resonate with you as well. 

A test ride and visit to your nearest dealer to enquire about service costs is for all three in order to make a more informed decision. 

Since you have a long daily commute, you will need a scooter with a battery capacity of 3.5kWh or more, so you have a healthy buffer in case of emergencies or to account for spontaneity. Among our top picks in the EV space today are the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and Ather Rizta. 

Among the 125cc commuters, you can consider the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R, Honda Shine / SP125, Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Super Splendor and Hero Glamour X. In the 150/160cc space, we would recommend the Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160.

We would recommend you take a test ride of everything you shortlist before you make up your mind.

From our experience with the practical and comfortable River Indie, it seems likely that the Yamaha EC-06 will carry forward those qualities as well. However, it remains to be seen what Yamaha's sales and service network for its EVs shapes up to be, and that is a crucial factor to consider. 

We would recommend you stick to the proven mainstream players like the Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube if you're looking for an electric scooter right now. 

The Vida VX2 Plus you have shortlisted is a good option from a proven player like Hero, and will be comfortable. 

Other options you can also look at are the TVS iQube 3.1 and the Bajaj Chetak 3001, because both are comfortable options from reputed manufacturers and will also serve you well. 

From a comfort point of view, the Bajaj Chetak models or TVS iQube range will serve your purpose well from the sea of electric scooters available.

In the 125cc space, the most comfortable options are the TVS Jupiter 125, Honda Activa 125 and the latest Suzuki Access. Even the TVS Ntorq 125 is a good option if you want a sporty offering with peppy performance.
