                  Very nice scooty
                  I was feed up by using public transport for several years as they are really disgusting and waste my too much time in traffics and all time got late due to these reasons then I saw this Ola scooter that is fit for heavy to heavy traffic conditions and also have good mileage so I choose this scooter and with the name of full trust brand Ola. The ride is quiet good but seats are so much tight for a long journey. It took around 120 km per charge and going for office work it is a nice choice to ride this scooter. In the city for small small work its a best options. Yes, obviously I would recommend this scooter to my employees, friend and especially for the students who take classes and go in a public transport and faces issues that sometimes they are late or not able to reach on time due to traffic, these scooter help them to go in a very bad traffic conditions also with its sleek design.
