                  It's Best bike
                  Its look is very good, even people of short height can drive it and after modification it looks very good. 3 people can sit comfortably. I have driven it a lot. I have it, that is why I want to buy a new one. I think it is very good and gives an average of between 45 to 55 and is very comfortable. I have already told you that this is a very good bike. It is seen in many places and I like it very much. This is a favourite bike of many people. This is a comfortable bike. While travelling on a long journey, it will not cause you much trouble, nor your hands experience any discomfort. I have seen many times that people get exhausted on long trips but this bike is very comfortable. In my opinion, you should buy this bike.

                  Best in the segment for Cruising
                  I chose this bike for the comfort in city as well as long rides. I have driven this bike for more 40K Km and I am happy with this bike. The only concern I have is about the safety as the leg guard is too short compared to the other bike and the as there is a gap from where you rest you feet for shifting gear and braking as it does not cover the feet. The ride is good, it is low maintenance if you take good care of the bike, also long routes are amazing as there is no fatigue. Cons is just about the handling as this a cruiser bike so it is not everyone ride. Definitely this bike is for the people who like comfort low maintanence. If you get a hand on the back seat then the comfort is next level. The mileage is good in the city and if you go for a long ride then you will get a good mileage which can be 40 plus.

                  Long Term Ownership Review
                  The bike is super amazing even after owning it over 6 years it is smooth runs clean and has a muscular and aura refining road presence. Just the performance of the bike on uphill feels a bit low. Maintenance is also reasonable and the bike gives 35-40 kmpl average on daily commute. The seat is super comfortable for long touring and it can be used for 200-300 km long trips.

In shorts I love this bike speed because even in high air flow area this bike stands with smooth bike. I am recommending this bike because this bike easy to handle and performs really good and also gives a smooth experience.

                  Not too exciting bit no complains
                  It was easy and good so far I am satisfied sometimes I am just worried if something gets wrong while i am riding in between cities what will happen as ultraviolet service centers are not every where and no one touches electric bikes and will ultraviolet provide on road assistance. Apart from that so far I have had no complaints.

                  Value and specifications
                  Superb bike with a great value brings top speed of 120km/h with it. Worth to buy. It is a good choice in mountain bikes but the thing is charging in remote areas. But according to price and specifications it fits its standards. Most of the rally bikes are expensive and have less mileage. I am gonna buy this!
