        The scooter is ok but has less mileage, however maintenance is low as compared to other scooters. Best for local usage and is also used for heavy-duty pickup. Very nice bike and can be afforded by everyone.

        Comfort and battery charging wise is A1. Sitting position on long drive is slightly discomfort on lower back. Shock up slightly on harder side. Otherwise all OK.Battery weight is comfortable to lift.
