A Good low cost High Speed EV (up to 55kmph)
A Good low cost High Speed EV (up to 55kmph)
We bought it in February 2017. It has been over 2 months. The quality of the scooter is better than all electric scooters in the market but lags behind the Activa, Jupiter by a small margin. It takes nearly 7-8 hours of charging post 65 kms of usage. I ride it with a pillion 50% of the time within the city at a speed ranging from 40-50 kmph, and it is still able to deliver nearly 60 km (headlights on too) with ease. It is amongst the most cost friendly, easy to ride vehicles at present, for single riders who commute daily for office/college work. A nearly satisfied customer! Summing up
PROS-
1) Cost effective ( takes nearly 2.25 units for a complete charge, i.e. Nearly 15 rupees for driving 70 kms.)
2) Dual shock rear suspension is probably the best for ride comfort. (Activa is extremely stiff for the back in my opinion.)
3)Central Locking with Anti theft Alarm and keyless start. ( The USP)
4) Uses VRLA batteries which are cheaper to replace and are easily available at the present time. ( nearly 10-12k rupees for replacing the 12volt x5 batteries.)
5) Lower cost of Service and nearly no maintenance. Rs 100-150 for the parts that have worn out (Benefits of a EV , No engine oil ! Thus less wear and tear)
6) Very light ( 98 Kgs) and easy to use ( even for women)
7) No pollution ( Do we really give a damn? LOL. Remember, BS3 vehicles and discounts)
Cons:
1) Limited Range. (75-80 km on a single rider.)
2) No charging Infrastructure support by the government.
3) Continous fluctuation of the price by the company. ( This is astounding! I am not joking. They inflate and deflate prices frequently. )
4) Accessories are extremely costly and are not even available outside.
5) Fast charging will be available in a couple of months.
6) Limited dealership network. ( Though, they are rapidly expanding.)
