                  Cost free or cheapest travel
                  I'm using hero bike so, i don't have any problem with hero company and its after buying services is good, now i want a cheaper travel options for office and city driving so i bought this and looks of it so cool and modern. I have used this approximately 780 km and i'm satisfied by the comfort because two or three passengers can comfortably travel, average in city o think 70-75. I use only for city driving so u have no idea for highway. I'm using this for only city driving or going to office which are nearly 20 km away from my house, so who have need to 60-70 km per day and a daily office working, a business man who travel in city like milkman, can buy because it provides cheaper travel.

                  Photon electric
                  I think it's best in this price as it is offering a very good mileage and all accessories in just 20000 that is more than enough for us and it is very useful for short distance travelling I truly recommended it for those who want to buy a electric scooter which offers a good mileage and that's all that I have to say

                  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.

The real-world ride quality of the Ola S1 Z has received a largely positive response from daily city commuters.

Yes, I would recommend the Ola S1 Z if you are looking for an affordable, highly practical electric scooter for short city commutes, especially if you live in an apartment without a dedicated parking charging point. However, it is not ideal for everyone. Here is a direct breakdown of why you should or shouldn't buy it, and who it is best for.

                  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.
