      Good and comfortable, with great flexibility. I love taking it on journeys with my family and kids—they all enjoy it. The compact design, combined with tech features, makes it feel like a branded car at this price.

      A good bike with impressive mileage and speed for local roads, delivering around 35–40 km/l in the city and 51–60 km/l on highways. It’s a 100cc bike with self-start, making it convenient and efficient for daily use.
