            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.

            Affordable and eco friendly but pricey
            It's affordable but,I don't think the price is reasonable for today's economy.I expected the price to be around 80-95, it's 2025 already and we get this for over 1lakhs.I don't regret though,the seat is comfortable but the design is plain and dull.it needs a little more touch at the front, everything else is okay.And most of all the battery warranty duration is long so.. It's worth it for now.Make your own decision✌️

            Worst possible scotter
            Worst possible scoter feel ashamed to give it even 1 star rating ashamed to call it indian brand down with ola. My scotter turned off ola responded around 45-75 days after my service pickup after 100000 calls and then demanded 50000 rupees for servicing the scotter despite it being their own fault such pathetic service is not at all expected from such a brand

            Experience as owner of
            Its was the best experience ever buying an electric scooty , may be it's the best decission of choosing OLA . It shows the best battery backup as expected and has an great pickup of the vehicle. As an owner of OLA S1 pro gen 2 I am saying that if you are planning for and electric scooty then definitely go for it .Over all the best in call and range
