            Review of a 3 year experience
            I bought it and used to drive upto 90km daily , in my opinion the rider would feel discomfort for longer range and the back passenger feels a very good knockback while accelerating , foot rest isn't good so the backseater would feel his legs going numb or may have cramps , pick-up of the sccoty is good and the speed too , i would recommend this for shorter range not because of mileage but due it's comfort , the seat isn't properly designed for comfort which gives back pain , another con of this vehicle is it's build quality , the break levers won't survive any shock they break easily , my suspensions also got damaged and started to leak but all this problem occurs if you overuse it , using it daily for 30-40km with proper servicing won't give negative response from the scooty. Battery backup isn't reduced or if it is I don't notice it , I use for 90km daily and battery backup is good though it won't run 90km on a single charge.

            Worst Scooter
            Worst scooter in the electric version. It is not performing well, the mileage is very bad, and its parts, including the brake wire, broke within a month.

            Hero Electric Photon is a raying illustration
            Hero Electric Photon is a raying illustration of environmentally responsible communal transportation, combining forcefulness and faculty in a thruway that is really remarkable. Its fine design gives megacity expressways a hint of refinement with its contemporary aesthetics and aerodynamic lines. The Photon is a great option for standard-issue expeditions because of its electric engine, which provides a quiet and operative assist. This electric scooter, which appeals to riders who value both faculty and environmentally responsible commuting, emerges as a hallmark of the future of communal transportation thanks to Hero Electric's dedication to sustainability and invention.

            1 years with Ola
            I have been using Ola s1 air for about 1 year, it's one of the best for inner city travell, it has various modes and simple to understand all options, it has built in GPS app helps to navigate easily, Important : cost consumption I have driven around 10k kilometers and saves around 15k rs for petrol by being electric , my family members also like my ola mostly they prefer my ola insted of using their own perol vehicle One negative : service centers are bad,Hope that ola will resolve it soon!
