Less price and max range it's 301 km range according to the company but it's real range are 200 km, so that no any confusion in returning when we are going anywhere 60-70 km and it is in my budget so I chose it. It's comfort, more range but I don't know about maintenance cost, It's battery pack is more and give more range but it takes time in charging and it's battery warranty is so less only 3 year but another company provide 7 to 10 years of warranty on battery, Yes, I would recomend this bike to that person who wants max range in less price, It is also beneficial for in rural areas, where some time light is disappeared for 2 or more days, due to high range any one get no trouble. overall great bike.
