                  Suv scooter
                  Build quality superb compare to other like chetak and ola service is also good and more over very important is it's our India brand. I like our nation product and also super ride experience my advice is please increase the range. Range is smaller than other but build quality is good and as well as comfortable for all areas, it's also smoothly ride on difficult road also it's very stylish scooter and could you please increase the range. Stylish design and comfort also good continuously ride long also because of give footrest also that's why it's comfortable to compare the other also carry the heavy weight also small disadvantage is range so look about this.
