                  Review of a 3 year experience
                  I bought it and used to drive upto 90km daily , in my opinion the rider would feel discomfort for longer range and the back passenger feels a very good knockback while accelerating , foot rest isn't good so the backseater would feel his legs going numb or may have cramps , pick-up of the sccoty is good and the speed too , i would recommend this for shorter range not because of mileage but due it's comfort , the seat isn't properly designed for comfort which gives back pain , another con of this vehicle is it's build quality , the break levers won't survive any shock they break easily , my suspensions also got damaged and started to leak but all this problem occurs if you overuse it , using it daily for 30-40km with proper servicing won't give negative response from the scooty. Battery backup isn't reduced or if it is I don't notice it , I use for 90km daily and battery backup is good though it won't run 90km on a single charge.

                  Worst Scooter
                  Worst scooter in the electric version. It is not performing well, the mileage is very bad, and its parts, including the brake wire, broke within a month.

                  Hero Electric Photon is a raying illustration
                  Hero Electric Photon is a raying illustration of environmentally responsible communal transportation, combining forcefulness and faculty in a thruway that is really remarkable. Its fine design gives megacity expressways a hint of refinement with its contemporary aesthetics and aerodynamic lines. The Photon is a great option for standard-issue expeditions because of its electric engine, which provides a quiet and operative assist. This electric scooter, which appeals to riders who value both faculty and environmentally responsible commuting, emerges as a hallmark of the future of communal transportation thanks to Hero Electric's dedication to sustainability and invention.

                  Best bike under 1.5lakh
                  It's a super bike And it is best choice for middle class people's, So they can buy this bike for get better income and manage their money in other works And it had low cost of maintenance, and a better milage, I got one more step up and I am going to buy a ola s1 pro. So I suggest you to buy a ola bike and you got some better profits according to other brands.

                  Priceworthy ev
                  I have purchased ola s1 air last month and now I am very satisfied...... performance and features are very good...It gives 100 km per charge in eco...The feature I like most is cruise control. As far as safety is concerned this ev is lacking behind as it is made up of fibre body....Boot space is excellent.. Recommended for others if they have daily running 29-30 km...Also I got subsidy of 15000 from state additionally

                  Nice and comfortable
                  Best scooter in this price range. Good experience electric scooter and good looking scooter Then I carefully examined between Ola S1X+ and S1 Air, as both had similar specs, but different looks, features and speedo consoles, and I decided that I wanted to fancy touchscreen, the speaker setup and the fast charging ability of the Air, and not stick with lesser features and slower charging of the S1X+.

                  Ola S1 Air
                  Ola S1 Air is a great choice every usage. The company claims that the ola can get mileage of 150km for each full charge,but i get approximately 100km but i think its really great by comparing with petrol vehicles. The style and the comfort of the vehicle is top notch.And the features in this is really good . And it delivers a peak power of 6kW.This helps the scooter to accelerate 0-40km/h in 3.3seconds
