Pros & Cons

Pros

  • The new 35 Series uses a 3.5 kWh battery pack, which has a certified range of 153 km.

      It looks good and is very comfortable to drive. The luggage space is excellent, and the mileage is better than other vehicles. Thanks for asking for my review—I definitely recommend this.

      The indie looks boxy design that set a trend apart from other ev's its rugged and combind with a bold front facia and chunky body. Very impressive boot space about 43 litre and 12 litre of glove space. The scooter mid mounter motor power whizzes out 9bhp and 26nm torque better pickup than ic engines .
