    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.
