Here are the pros and cons after driving this bike for 5000kms in 6 months.Pros1. Good mileage of 55-65 on one battery2. Battery is light and removable with an extremely low running cost which is the biggest pro.3. Cost is 90k approx for dual battery bike with 120 kms real range top speed of 45km/hr.Cons1 Brakes are not as effective. Feels like cycle brakes. They make a clicking noise when pressed hard.2 The bike has a very low ground clearance and will scrape on all the speed-breakers. The service center Autonex in Mumbai claims that the below is just a plastic cover for water protection and will not damage the bike.3 Plastic body strength is very poor as plastic panels are damaged. I have noticed that the front mudguard and side panels below the foot are damaged in almost all bikes used for more than 6 months including mine. Plastic panels are damaged in regular driving without impact.4 Odometer fails to display battery charge in volts. I estimate my battery usage on the basis of 55 kms from my last full charge. Also, there is no range indicator as to how many kms can be driven on the battery. Odometer resets itself to zero on going to 5000km5 The buttons for reverse and cruise control separately added by the company are of low quality and fail to work most of the time.6 One of my batteries has started to give me 35 km range and is sent for replacement within 6 months. They usually take 25-35 days to replace the battery which is unreasonable.7 It makes a rattling noise when it goes in potholes. Both from front and back.8 There are frequent issues with electronic circuits due to which headlights and other components do not work sometimes.9 seat is rigid and uncomfortable for long rides. There is a ridge on the seat which make it very uncomfortable for riders with 6 feet of height.10 side bodyguards are priced at 5000 which is not worth it. Avoid it if possible.11 service center service cost is 500-600 which is high considering there is only brake cleaning and washing.Overall the bike is okay if you have a low budget and want to charge at home It has a negligible running cost if you are switching from Petrol. However, after you purchase this bike after regular use you will feel that it is just an assembled Chinese product and no research or testing has been done on bikes before selling by a company that has experience in making cycles and is now experimenting with electric bikes.Their product development team and service centers have a long way to go.
