Brought last week. Dealer is very cordial bike appearance super. Riding super. Mileage as assured. Super sackings value for the money in highways i felt as if going in pushpak. I found following disadvantages. 1. Front luggage box edges very sharp and their finishing finishing worst. Hands get injured while underwriting and removing. 2.The side step for pillion rider is not researched and scientific. 3.Braking should be more effective. 4.The seat decider is unscientific ridge discomfort for pillion rider. 5.The red switch for low and high speed has reverse connected in all vehicles.

Tips for Hero Electric Photon

No red light for reserve So keep watching the battery and charge as soon as battery shows 67 v.

  • Worst buy ever

    1 year ago


    Sudhanshu

    Reliability issues with the bike, construction quality is very poor, and they used substandard materials to design the bike. As electric scooters are new in the market so maintenance issue is also there, and spare parts are also not available on time, my suggestion to each and every viewer please don't buy this scooter it's a completely waste of money.

  • Bad batteries ; no resolution

    1 year ago


    Subhash Kumar

    The services of hero electric bikes is terrible.
    Even company officials are least bothered to resolve the problem.
    After a lot of follow-ups, just lip service.
    Horrible experience.
    Batteries are replaced within 10 days of purchase.
    Charging issues.
    After that within a month, batteries swelled.
    Replaced again with a faulty battery in 45days follow-up.
    Again batteries give charging problems and drainage problems.
    Chasing them for the last 45 days now. No resolution.

  • Struck on the breaker because the tires are too small

    1 year ago


    Nitin Bhati

    Scooty tires are very small which gives an absolutely bad feel. Driving the scooty on the road gets stuck on the breaker. Bounces a lot when it comes to the pit, everything else is fine on a single charge, it runs 80 to 85 km in the local while the company has promised 108 km per hour which proves to be wrong.

  • Men don't purchase this scooter

    2 years ago


    Gilbert Mathew

    Buying experience:- within 20 days, vehicle got registered and delivered
    Riding experience:- turning radius is too much, which creates problem during turning. This bike is not suited for roads, which is having potholes. Shock absorber performance is not that good, due to which, back pain will affect rider. Even if company promises top speed of 45km/h, but this is without a rider. With a rider weighing 70kg, speed goes down to 40km or below.
    Looks and performance:- look is not that good, because, battery can be seen from rear tyre side. Seat height of vehicle is less than that of activa. Since maximum speed scooter can deliver is only 45km/h, so one can't overtake which moves at 40km speed.
    Servicing:- actually no major service is required for the vehicle, even though, to pay some amount to the dealer, paid service intervals added in periodic services.
    Pros and cons:-
    Pros:- powerful electric scooter at lower price. This electric scooter good for ladies. Suitable for travel on flat good roads
    Cons:- not suitable for tall men. Even not suitable for men, who require some speed and want to overtake a vehicle. Will feel back pain during long rides. Turning radius is more. Some times at full accelerator throttle, scooter moves half of its half maximum speed. We need to decrease the throttle and the increase it, then only it achieves maximum speed.

  • One of the worst scooter

    2 years ago


    Georgekutty

    I have bought photon. This was one of the worst electric scooter I have used .The turning radius of scooter is too much and if you are on highway, you need to go to other side while turning. It's front head light is too big and light is too low. You cannot see potholes or any object from the distance. It is a risky ride and quality is low.

  • Electric is the future

    2 years ago


    Krishna

    Electric bikes and scooters are the future of mobility. Skyrocketing fuel prices are forcing people to consider more practical alternatives such as electric bikes and cars. With a great range of electric bikes and electric scooters in India by popular automakers like hero electric, Bajaj auto, tvs motors and amo electric bikes and more homegrown brands indicates it's a good time to switch to electric for a greener environment.

    Scooty tires are very small which gives an absolutely bad feel. Driving the scooty on the road gets stuck on the breaker. Bounces a lot when it comes to the pit, everything else is fine on a single charge, it runs 80 to 85 km in the local while the company has promised 108 km per hour which proves to be wrong.

  • Men don't purchase this scooter

    2 years ago


    Gilbert Mathew

    Buying experience:- within 20 days, vehicle got registered and delivered
    Riding experience:- turning radius is too much, which creates problem during turning. This bike is not suited for roads, which is having potholes. Shock absorber performance is not that good, due to which, back pain will affect rider. Even if company promises top speed of 45km/h, but this is without a rider. With a rider weighing 70kg, speed goes down to 40km or below.
    Looks and performance:- look is not that good, because, battery can be seen from rear tyre side. Seat height of vehicle is less than that of activa. Since maximum speed scooter can deliver is only 45km/h, so one can't overtake which moves at 40km speed.
    Servicing:- actually no major service is required for the vehicle, even though, to pay some amount to the dealer, paid service intervals added in periodic services.
    Pros and cons:-
    Pros:- powerful electric scooter at lower price. This electric scooter good for ladies. Suitable for travel on flat good roads
    Cons:- not suitable for tall men. Even not suitable for men, who require some speed and want to overtake a vehicle. Will feel back pain during long rides. Turning radius is more. Some times at full accelerator throttle, scooter moves half of its half maximum speed. We need to decrease the throttle and the increase it, then only it achieves maximum speed.

  • One of the worst scooter

    2 years ago


    Georgekutty

    I have bought photon. This was one of the worst electric scooter I have used .The turning radius of scooter is too much and if you are on highway, you need to go to other side while turning. It's front head light is too big and light is too low. You cannot see potholes or any object from the distance. It is a risky ride and quality is low.

  • Electric is the future

    2 years ago


    Krishna

    Electric bikes and scooters are the future of mobility. Skyrocketing fuel prices are forcing people to consider more practical alternatives such as electric bikes and cars. With a great range of electric bikes and electric scooters in India by popular automakers like hero electric, Bajaj auto, tvs motors and amo electric bikes and more homegrown brands indicates it's a good time to switch to electric for a greener environment.

  • Worst buy ever

    1 year ago


    Sudhanshu

    Reliability issues with the bike, construction quality is very poor, and they used substandard materials to design the bike. As electric scooters are new in the market so maintenance issue is also there, and spare parts are also not available on time, my suggestion to each and every viewer please don't buy this scooter it's a completely waste of money.

  • Avoid hero electric vehicles like the plague!

    1 year ago


    Jugal

    Avoid hero electric and its dealers like the plague!
    The product breaks down within months and then no one responds. By no one I mean literally they will not pick up your calls. Terrible post-sales service. Let's call it non-existent. Only buy if you can fix electric vehicles on your own. Else let it be.

  • Bad batteries ; no resolution

    1 year ago


    Subhash Kumar

    The services of hero electric bikes is terrible.
    Even company officials are least bothered to resolve the problem.
    After a lot of follow-ups, just lip service.
    Horrible experience.
    Batteries are replaced within 10 days of purchase.
    Charging issues.
    After that within a month, batteries swelled.
    Replaced again with a faulty battery in 45days follow-up.
    Again batteries give charging problems and drainage problems.
    Chasing them for the last 45 days now. No resolution.

  • Struck on the breaker because the tires are too small

    1 year ago


    Nitin Bhati

    Scooty tires are very small which gives an absolutely bad feel. Driving the scooty on the road gets stuck on the breaker. Bounces a lot when it comes to the pit, everything else is fine on a single charge, it runs 80 to 85 km in the local while the company has promised 108 km per hour which proves to be wrong.
