                  Really comfortable and quite efficient
                  After using for months on the Herald Rider electric scooter, I found this machine really comfortable and quite efficient in urban commutes. The 250W waterproof BLDC motor and the maximum speed of 25 kmph are good enough for everyday use, the digital speedometer and LED lights add some glamour to the experience. The biggest drawback is probably the absence of a footrest for women and the small boot.

                  Chose it because it’s easy to maintain and spare parts are easily available here. I liked its modern look and the mileage claim. Needed something practical for office and small trips. Suspension handles bumps nicely. At Hero Electric Optima, been using it for months, and it still runs like new. Mileage stays steady. Feels nice to ride. Doesn’t vibrate and gives smooth pickup even with two people. Strong choice for rough city roads. Great for regular use. Easy to maintain and doesn’t burn much petrol. Nice blend of style and economy. Good choice for daily city rides. Liked its classic look and durable feel. Smooth clutch and quick start every time.
