                • Cons
                • Jawa 42

                  • The engine has a strong mid range punch and that makes it quite exciting in the city
                  • Sporty handling makes it a lot of fun in the city and out on the highway
                  • The analogue console in the base and mid variants looks gorgeous and there’s nothing like it in this segment

                  Simple One

                  • Offers impressive claimed range of up to 265km
                  • Can go from 0 to 40kmph in 2.55 seconds, and gets a claimed top speed of 115kmph - pretty good for a sporty electric scooter
                  • Comes with a 7-inch TFT touchscreen instrument console
                • Jawa 42

                  • Owners have often reported rusting, paint peeling and parts loosening out over a period of time even with the new Jawas
                  • Spoke wheels in the base variant look gorgeous but have tube tyres, which could make dealing with punctures quite a hassle

                  Simple One

                  • Small sales and service network at the moment

                  Jawa 42 Scratch less. Excellent condition.
                  It is a great bike with comfort and riding pleasure. It gives good mileage. Totally satisfied with the bike. I am 42 years old and have done long rides on it with a maximum of 400 kms in 1 day. All the things in the bike are perfect, premium black matt colour, scratch less. Looks are fresher and very appealing.

                  Jawa 42: Retro Style, Modern Ride, Pure Dil Se Re
                  Maine Jawa 42 choose ki kyunki iska retro-modern look aur classic exhaust sound kaafi unique feel deta hai. Ride smooth aur comfortable hai, chahe city traffic ho ya highway. Engine performance strong hai aur bike ka style personality ko bhi highlight karta hai. Ride ab tak kaafi smooth aur enjoyable rahi hai. City traffic mein bike easy handle hoti hai, suspension comfortable lagta hai aur engine refined feel deta hai. Highway pe stability aur pickup dono confidence dete hain, overall ride ka experience satisfying hai. Yes, main is bike ko recommend zaroor karunga. Jawa 42 stylish look, comfortable ride aur balanced performance deti hai. Daily commute se leke weekend rides tak kaafi enjoyable experience milta hai. Value for money bhi acchi lagti hai.

                  The bike offers a great riding experience, it's comfortable to ride, and has good mileage. There's absolutely no wobbling on the highway, and its braking system is also very good. The bike is in excellent condition and has been properly serviced. In short, the bike is in top condition and has never been in an accident.

                  My Two wheeler
                  Feels like a car in long rides. Mileage is around 30 in long rides. Power is awesome but not like sports bike. I have enjoyed the ride for more than 2 years. Its heavy, stable, very comfortable in long rides. My first bike and a powerful one. This bike attracts people. People will stop by and ask how much does it cost.

                  it's ok if u want a sporty look scooty
                  looks are good but cost is higher and range is unreliable and comfort is not too harsh and not so comfortable it's decent but performance is good but brightness of the monitor is not good and not visible at sunny days and because it is an electric vehicle it's not valued for spending 2 lacs or above on a electric scooter.
