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.

i feel this scooter was the best decision i made, very comfortable and smooth riding experience. mileage is very good and maintenance doesn't cost much. the color is also very attractive and the scooter doesn't heat up during summer and extreme heat conditions. overall, this is very much worth the money.

It was a suggestion from a friend turned out good.
Very good model that they launched and and at a very comfortable price not very heavy and can be easily handled by any member of my family. It also has ample space to put my helmet as well as other items. Charging time is a bit long but give good output. The shockers are a little less effective but somehow good scooty.
