                  Good bike for youngsters
                  Good handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.

                  Excellent bike
                  My pulsar NS 160 is still in excellent condition with all documents and riding experience is awesome and bike is also fast and reliable. It also offers dual channel Abs and it has less maintenance cost and it gives immense pleasure to ride. Bike mileage is about 40 kmpl and full tank costs nearly 1k only and this is the best bike, I have ever rode in my life.

                  good bike but need some improvements.
                  The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.

                  Review of my 6 years old NS160
                  I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.

                  My friend has bought this scooter and I have also ridden it. It has very good ride quality and gives very good range. Even 2 people can sit comfortably. It gives good range. The seat is also very comfortable. I would recommend everyone to buy it because it is the best. It is the best in mileage. It drives on the road and highway as if you are sitting in a car. The suspension is very good. Even on rough roads, there is no problem as its suspension is very firm and soft, so there are no jolts at all. I like it. Actually, this scooter is good for everyone from small children to adults. It does not cause any jolts at all and runs very smoothly. Whom not to buy is not a word in my dictionary because this scooter is made for everyone. I will recommend it to everyone.

                  Perfect scooty for style and comfort
                  I was about to purchase Cng bike because of daily use and mileage but when I saw and ad about rizta. I was excited and then I calculated that I can ride 126 Km for just 30 Rs charging that was the moment I changed my mind for ather. Still while buying I was so confused that did I do the write thing as we normal people do. But when started riding the experience which I felt can't express in words this was the first time. I was using a ev. So much silent, And the pickup was superb, Also it has comfort but IDC range which was given that came down slowly now it has been more than 2 years I get 90 Km range. Rest is good. If ather improves battery again this will be the best in the market. Because there is no one who can be on the top in market if thing improve. What I like is stylish in look. Super affordable in terms of money which means I can ride 100Km in just charging of 30 Rupees. Comfortable for both rider and the person sitting behind. Also pickup is superb.

                  Easy to Handle in Traffic
                  I was searching for a useful family scooter that would be comfortable to ride and have a decent mileage because of it dependability. The Ather 450X was frequently mentioned in discussion with my friends. It was the best option for me. The best thing is how easy it is to ride. My younger brother also rides it and finds it easy. It starts fast no delay. I charge it overnight and it is ready next morning. Once I forgot to charge but eco mode helped save battery. Yes I fully recommend it. Perfect for local travel, smooth roads and daily use. It is quiet, light and does not pollute. And it saves a lot of money. No petrol, no oil change. Just clean and ride. I feel smart using it.

                  Worth the Price and Experience
                  I chose Ather Riztabecause my old petrol scooter was getting costly. Every month I spent lot on fuel. I wanted something smart and simple. When I saw Ather Rizta I liked the look and comfort. So I booked it without much thinking. The ride is soft and quiet. One time I forgot it was even on because there is no engine sound. It is perfect for my short trips. I charge it at night and it lasts for 2–3 days. No heat, no noise, no tension. Very smooth on speed breakers too. Yes go for it. If you care about the environment and want to save fuel cost this scooter is best. It looks modern and feels just like the old scooter but electric. I love riding it daily and feel proud I made the switch.
