    Worst platform 

    Zigwheels is the worst platform to check for any bike review.I personally do not recommend checking it here.Most of its reviews is done by those people who don't even on the bike.

    Have been using a grazia 

    Have been using a grazia since 5 years now.Not really happy with the bike.The button start won't work most of the time.I complained at the service center and they said, You have to kick start it, If you start in the morning.If you use button start all the time, It is very likely that the bike engine stops in the middle of the road.If the weather is too cold, Then kick start may not work either.Had to get it to a local garage many times to get it started.My other scooter was a scooty which worked perfectly fine in all weather.

    Better for offroading and high power 

    After driving this 1250cc it's one of the best terrain bikes with better for offroading and high power capability. This is well known for its suspension that's fabulous. The service cost is average, and it wants some regular maintenance after 23-25 days because when you do offroading with this there are some bad effects too. Worth for money, and I will give this 4.5 out of 5.

    Unusually funky 

    The bike we have here is the special 40 years anniversary edition and that’s why it comes in this unusually funky (for a gs) black and yellow colour scheme.I like most of it, And even the dull gold handlebar doesn’t look out of place, But the bright yellow handguards feel a little plasticky and their colour might be a garish for some – nothing that can’t be easily fixed with a more rugged set of aftermarket barkbusters, Though.

Becai operation of the attributes it gives, this model is among my favorite favourites and prayers to everyone seeking for a secure and satinyelectricmotorscooter.It's a hiss and active independence that will get you where you need to go without breaking up up the carryall.

    operative and Eco- Friendly  

    An excellent electric scooter that blends language, interpretation, and environmental awareness is the Hero Electric Photon. It turns heads wherever it goes because to its satiny phraseology and eye- catching color choices. It provides a quiet and smooth aid, full for swapping in substantial cosmopolises, thanks to a reliable electric motor. A great intelligencer of the lithium- ion battery is its quick charging point, which also offers a respectable range. still, the pressure may be more affable, especially on sporadic roads. generally stating, the Hero Electric Photon is an provident and environmentally responsible option for group riders trying to understand green mobility.

    Great network 

    It is quite easy to drive with the proper tyre size, reliable brakes, and user-friendly features and has a solid build quality good fit and finish, and enough of storage space. This electric scooter has a range of approximately 60 km per charge and a top speed of approximately 42 kmph however the hardware should be upgraded. It has an excellent riding range and performance, as well as well-designed riding and handling and is an exquisite and gorgeous electric scooter however it has a low ground clearance although is quite easy to drive in traffic, although it looks outdated.

    Light weight electric scooter 

    This is light weight electric scooter and the build quality of this electric scooter is also remarkable. The desiginig is very simple and feels very eye catchy. The BLDC motor generates power of 1200w which is decent enough for the normal city rides but feels laggy in overtaking. The top speed of 45 kmph is also not up to the mark for this electric scooter. The claimed range is 108km per charge, which is good for the daily comuting. The seating is very comfortable. The pricing of Hero electric Photon starts from 1.17 lakhs ex showroom.
