Build Quality and Comfort:
The whole scooter is built of plastic material, but its chassis is made of metal (Aluminium). The front and rear mudguards are stiff but are made of hard/brittle plastic. Just like the “Ola S1 pro” it doesn’t have various panels but the whole body is covered with the minimum possible panels which makes it damage-proof on small collisions.
The Scooter’s seat is comfortable for 2 people and has enough leg room for the rider and a comfortable position for the pillion rider and even has a comfortable sidewise leg holder for women.
The scooter has a strong side stand and a main stand that can handle heavy loads comfortably It even has a side-stand sensor to ensure the safety of the rider.
User Review:
After taking this electric scooter for a trail here’s what I have to say about it.
- The seating position is comfortable, and the seat is soft enough to sit for long hours, the angle and posture are comfortable for handling the scooter.
- The suspension is reactive and gives very minimal jerks while traveling through tough road conditions.
- The handle felt a little heavy and the mobility of the handle was not too smooth.
- The pickup was not up to the mark. Hub-mounted electric scooters generally have high torque and pickup, but this wasn’t the case with this electric scooter.
The price point feels a little overrated considering the offerings but talking about the range, it’s good.
