Because it is EV and I need it for local use, better for daily commute like local market and school. For my daughter's daily school and coaching commuting. Of course, pollution free ride and contribution in environment saving. It is full of satisfaction and exciting. Good boot space to carry daily usages things like helmet and some small items. Ride quality is smooth and stable and breaking is also good. Need to work on range. Yes, The reason is clean design and style. Honda's provides less range so expecting some better range in coming days. Need to improve on battery warranty. There should be at lifetime warranty. Overall its is good in its price range. Read More
