    Saroj

    Its really a tough bike to move in streets like villages and small towns. Quality of these bikes are awesome, feels difference about your daily expense. U can use this bike for your office, for buying of vegetables also for a ride with your son or wife to enjoy the outside environment. No need of tensions to fill the fuel just charge and run.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • No tension

    Saroj

    Its really a tough bike to move in streets like villages and small towns. Quality of these bikes are awesome, feels difference about your daily expense. U can use this bike for your office, for buying of vegetables also for a ride with your son or wife to enjoy the outside environment. No need of tensions to fill the fuel just charge and run.

  • 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.

  • Struck on the breaker because the tires are too small

    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.
