Pros & Cons

Pros
  • 1500W (output) BLDC motor
  • 18 Ltr storage
  • Decent build quality & fit and finish
  • Disc Brakes
  • Hero's widespread service network is a peace of mind in itself
  • Nimble in size, easy to maneuver in traffic
  • The portable battery pack is a boon for riders
  • Charming design which perfectly makes use of modern elements on retro body shape.
  • 35L of boot space is the best in the segment.
  • The 5-inch TFT display is packed with all the modern features. Plus, it’s a touchscreen as well.
  • Available in five striking glossy colors.
  • Bajaj's strong network and brand value make it a more reliable option than its rivals.
  • The new 35 Series uses a 3.5 kWh battery pack, which has a certified range of 153 km.
  • The seat height has been increased to 725 mm in the 35 Series variants.
Cons
  • Feels dated already
  • hardware should be improved
  • Long term reliability is questionable
  • Low ground clearance
  • Plain jane design
  • Rivals like Ola S1 offer more range at this price tag
  • Limited app connectivity features, most of which are visible only on the TFT display.
  • Poor fit and finish of the charging socket, which appears like an after thought
  • Unlike rivals, its charging socket is under the seat, which is a major drawback.
