I'm owning Komaki for 3 weeks. It costs around 1.25lac in Karnataka and no fame 2 subsidy or state subsidy is applicable except for road tax exemption. It comes with a 3kw motor, 72v 20ah li-ion battery pack. Positives: 1. Good mileage of 120+ km in single charge.2.Good speed.33kmph at mode1, 55kmph at mode2 and 70kmph at mode3.3.Quick acceleration4.Reverse button.5.Lightweight.6.Leg space is very wide and comfortable for long ride.7.The Brake system is good with front and rear disk brakes8. Regenerative braking exists.9.The headlight is decent and sufficient for any road conditions without disturbing other riders.10.Remote lock, Theft alarm, Keyless entry options are additional features.11.Attractive look.12.Comfortable riding with pillion rider.Negatives1.Speed - top speed reduces gradually up to 15kmph lower with reducing battery voltage from 83v to 72v.2.Acceleration: it is quick with considerable pull even if you apply the accelerator slowly. You need to wait for a particular point where it suddenly catches the command and attains rated speed very fast. It is very uncomfortable compared to a conventional petrol scooter or other bikes. Searching for the acceleration point gives lots of pain to the shoulder. 3. Plastic toy: it is just like a plastic toy. Smells very plastic when parked under sunlight. Even stickers printing is not professionally done.4.Space under the seat: no space is given even for the charger.Nothing can be stored under the seat. 5. Odometer: a. You need to refer to voltages, The battery level indicator is not reliable. B. Cumulative km travelled doesn't have a decimal place. So if you travel 0.9km and restart the scooter, 0.9km will not be added to the cumulative distance travelled. C. Speed is not accurate compared to petrol scooters.D.Display visibility is poor under Sun. 6. Mat: Plastic mat is provided and it is slippery. 7. Charging: a. Charging time is more than 4hrs.B.Charger cables get heated gradually. C. Battery is removable. But I can't charge it indoors. 8. High cost. Fame2 is not applicable. 9. Buttons are of poor quality. Cheap plastic. 10. Few electrical components are not rated for the 72v class. Bluetooth speaker is provided, But not of any use than listening to songs in public. They claim the product is from Japan, But no such evidence is available on the internet. Even they don't own an email domain. It's only known that Komaki is a place in Japan. I am not disappointed so far with the performance. I am an Apache RTR200 owner and still feel riding is comfortable with Komaki use. I have chosen this scooter only for mileage at a lesser cost and a single battery since I travel minimum 60km per day. For me, it is the best choice compared to other brands available near my area. But I would suggest the buyer think twice before making a decision. Suggestions to the manufacturer: 1. Upgrade the motor controller so that acceleration is smooth. 2. Give additional space for charger and helmet under the seat. 3. Provide quality accessories like switches, Sockets, Mcb with rated voltage and current.
