Actually worth buying
Actually worth buying Just the charging time is a bit more But overall it’s good Its Aggressive looks make it different from others High performance with good acceleration better than petrol driven vehicles Powerful headlamps for night rides Quite comfortable Best thing is that you don’t have to get it fueled at petrol pumps Just give it a charge and move

So good so far
It's good as of now, the instant power of an ev is thrilling. Charging time is decent. Milega could have been a bit more but don't get me wrong, it's not low but a liye more would have been a charm. Comfort wise it's good, have used it for long trips. This is my first ev so I can't say about the longevity... Let's see, I will update in future.
