                  Happy Journey
                  Scooter is in great condition. In 2 years no problems faced. In a single charge its mileage is between 90-100kms. No motor or battery or any other issues faced in 2 years of ride. Pickup is top notch. Latest software is recently updated to 5.0.1 Charger is working perfectly fine. Only 13,000kms driven so battery is almost like new.

                  Nice performance
                  Nice but not giving the range as promised. Styling is good but the overall performance is not as expected. In Normal mode it's only giving 90 km of range which is mentioned as 125 km in the specs. Overall satisfied with the company service but sometimes the ui or os starts to lag which may fall you in a dangerous situation.

                  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.
