Good competitor to Tvs iqube 2.2kw
Overall good experience. Lighter compared to Tvs iqube 2.2 kw varient and far more cheaper also. Range is comparable while features are also similar. Could be good option for within city ride where you travel only 70-80kms daily.

Best Performance
This e-bike is excellent, offering impressive mileage at an affordable price. It charges within 3-4 hours, and in my opinion, it provides great comfort at a low cost.

Overall Experience
Wonderful excellent performance not at all trouble in mileage, Sound is nothing I believe on Hero Electric AE-8. My brother has told me about Hero Electric which is why I am also planning to purchase but not available right now.

Nice Looking Bike
It is a great bike in terms of comfort, zero noise while riding, looking, range, and charging time but lacks a bit in pick-up power and durability, overall good bike for regular use in urban areas.

Don't waste money on this Scooter
I am giving one star because there is no option for negative rating. This is the worst scooter one can buy. Customer service....? if nothing say it is better. They have changed my new Battery with an old one and when I complained they are not responding even after one year of their blunder. Worst product with worst service

Worst ever buying experience
Very very poor quality vehicle. I bought bgauss C12i from tectrac delarship Kalyan nagar Bangalore in Aug 2024. From day one it has lot of issues. Since I have it's most in service centre for warranty claims. From day one motor problem, left to service center and they took 20days to claim warranty. 2nd month break system issue started no spare parts at service centre . The service centre minimum turn around time to fix any issue is minimum 15-20 days.Promised range was 110km with load but merely reaches 60 to 65km after investing 130,000/- to purchase this poor to poor quality vehicle. Service centers are pathetic including staff. Bycle service centers are far far better than this EV scooter service centre. Even staff doesn't have quality looks like all 10th pass are hired. Rude and unprofessional customer service. Vehicle takes 6-7 hours for full charge. Vehicle is not compatible with fast chargers at charging stations. Battery is very very heavy to remove and charges if you stay in rented house or upper floor can't carry everytime. As max practice range is 60-65kms suitable for news paper delivery in the morning. If there is star rating less than 1 star I would have rated 0 or even less. My worst ever scooter buying experience so far.
