- Worth it BuyFor stylish look and storage capacity bhi kafi jabardast hai, eco mode me acha performance de rha tha, reverse wala features kafi shandar hai, isko lagbhag charge hone me 9-10 hour laga, overall price bhi thik hai bike. Comfortable to ride this bike, bike ko chalana bohot hi asan hai, kafi acha hai ispar ride krna aur bahot hi acha laga, isko chala ke mere friend ne iski bahot tarif ki kyunki bahot hi comforatble feel ho rha tha. Comfort ke liye aur stylish look ke liye ye kafi shandar hai, baki ebike se ye kafi outstanding hai. Jo agar 100 - 120 km range ke liye dekh rhe hai, toh ye kafi achi hai e bike hai, look style range aur kimat ke hisabse ye badhiya jo koi bhi ise purchase krna chahta hai uske liye ye best choice hai.Read More
- About the bikeIt was my dream bike and it's so reliable and smooth. It has many features, like multiple riding mods and the trophy version has a ERC that means (easy riding clutch) it is very helpful to the beginners. The handling of the bike is very smooth and it gives around 20 to 24 milage on an average in highways and its seats are so much comfortable and it has a heating grips which helps me in early morning rides. I like to recommend this bike to the proper off-road bikers and they love this very much because of its handling and ERC you can also adjust the suspensions of both side and have a good off-road experience.Read More
