User Reviews for Hero Electric Optima
Battery Issues
Within six months of purchase, I had to replace the battery of my hero bike twice. This is unacceptable and I feel the company should take measures to ensure the battery lasts at least one to two years or 10,000 km, or 500 charging cycles. Furthermore, the plastic body of the bike does not offer enough strength for the price. To top it off, the company does not respond to phone calls or emails. This indicates that Hero is an extremely mismanaged organization.
Should not buy
The quality of the material used in the scooter is very poor, and within a couple of months the joint of the seat breaks. Even the material used for children's toys is of higher quality. When you use the brakes, there is no shock absorption. The quality is extremely bad. In addition, there is no indication of the battery level. You should not even consider purchasing this scooter.
Reliable Electric Scooter
The Hero Electric Optima HX is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable electric scooter. With a range of up to 150km, it offers great value for money. The powerful motor and comfortable ride make it a great choice for city commutes and long-distance journeys. The Optima HX is a great buy for those looking for a reliable and efficient electric scooter.
