Reliability issues with the bike, construction quality is very poor, and they used substandard materials to design the bike. As electric scooters are new in the market so maintenance issue is also there, and spare parts are also not available on time, my suggestion to each and every viewer please don't buy this scooter it's a completely waste of money.

Avoid hero electric and its dealers like the plague!The product breaks down within months and then no one responds. By no one I mean literally they will not pick up your calls. Terrible post-sales service. Let's call it non-existent. Only buy if you can fix electric vehicles on your own. Else let it be.

The services of hero electric bikes is terrible.Even company officials are least bothered to resolve the problem.After a lot of follow-ups, just lip service.Horrible experience.Batteries are replaced within 10 days of purchase.Charging issues.After that within a month, batteries swelled.Replaced again with a faulty battery in 45days follow-up. Again batteries give charging problems and drainage problems.Chasing them for the last 45 days now. No resolution.
