                  Smart Move from Petrol to Electric
                  I chose Activa E because my old petrol scooter was getting costly. Every month I spent lot on fuel. I wanted something smart and simple. When I saw Honda Activa E I liked the look and comfort. So I booked it without much thinking. The ride is clean and peaceful. No petrol smell, no noise. It feels like riding a cycle with power. I charge it once every two days. Even my dad liked it and now uses it sometimes. It is very smooth and easy. Yes I tell everyone to go for the electric now. Activa E is from a trusted brand and feels safe. No gear, no clutch. Just ride and enjoy. It is simple and useful for all ages. Very happy with my decision.

                  Eco Dream Ride Finally Real
                  I always wanted to ride something eco friendly. I saw people buying electric scooters but I waited for Honda because I knew they had make something good. When Activa E launched I went for test ride and booked it the same day. The ride is soft and light. My mother also rides it sometimes and says it is very comfortable. Once we went 40 km in one day and came back with charge still left. It does not make any sound and that feels nice. Very calm ride. Yes go for it. If you care about the environment and want to save fuel cost this scooter is best. It looks modern and feels just like the old Activa but electric. I love riding it daily and feel proud I made the switch.

                  Waited for Honda’s Electric Model
                  I saw petrol prices going up every month and decided to buy electric scooter. I waited for Honda to launch their model because I trust them more. When Activa E came out I went to the showroom and booked it. I liked the comfort and look. The best thing is how easy it is to ride. My younger brother also rides it and finds it easy. It starts fast no delay. I charge it overnight and it is ready next morning. Once I forgot to charge but eco mode helped save battery. Yes I fully recommend it. Perfect for local travel, smooth roads and daily use. It is quiet, light and does not pollute. And it saves a lot of money. No petrol, no oil change. Just clean and ride. I feel smart using it.

                  Over and all Hero is a good choice for me my whole family have a Bikes of hero. They keep the basic things in mind and make a bike which I feel a a good for a rider. I would be very thankful to Hero for the bike they have made special for 160. I did a ride to Nagpur to ladakh and it was like a 160 cc bike cant do that but unfortunately I did . It was like impossible to possible. The whole credit goes to Hero how bike has been designed and the speed mileage . It feels like no problem even the off-roading also feel like I am sitting in a 4-5 Lakhs bike. Heads off to Hero again. Yes absolutely this bike is like a heaven for middle class people the style, the looks and many more totally worth for the value of the bike. I would always recommend this bike for everyone. There is no negative point first of all . And yeah I would love to express more but yeah that's all for now.

Cons- Seat could be more comfortable. Digital Meter could be more advanced like others. Of course I will recommend one to buy this bike.... Mostly everyone can buy but it will be a good suggestion for a beginner who wants a New Bike. I don't know about the long ride for travelling but in a mid range upto 100-150kms rides it's an excellent choice.
