- Worth ConsideringI previously owned a Honda Activa. i just want a jump up from the vehicle. i tried dio but due to vast scooty available in roads. i just tried to find a unique scooter for my daily commute in the city. The comfort was good and can improve the seat quality a bit. Overall the experience from the service centre is nice. I mostly ride both in city and highway commuting daily in the city it is easy to maneuvere and in highway the performance is good. Ya definitely recommend it because of performance packed with great mileage. The suspension is on stiffer side when ride solo but with pillion it is nice to take a small bumps easily. Due to the stiffer suspension the stability is great.Read More
- Very good looking motorcycle, great performance -I was looking for a performance oriented ev bike that my budget while saving on petrol cost. After comparing many EVs, I chose tha oben rorr ez sigma because of its advanced LFP battery technology, which is safer and lasts longer. The ride experience has been impressive. The acceleration is punchy, hitting 40 km/h in just under 5sec. Handling is light and agile, making it easy to maneuver through narrow streets. The havoc mode given a thrilling performance. Yes definately. If you are tired of rising petrol price and want a bike that look like a normal petrol bike but run on electricity, then go for it. For city daily rides and going college or work, it is the best choice for you.Read More
