      After sales service is completely disgusting.

      8 weeks ago


      Bikash Nath

      I am totally disappointed with their after-sales service. I purchased a Hero Optima from Joy Motors (GUWAHATI) in 2022. I have since visited their workshop many times for regular servicing. Their service used to be good. But I am completely disappointed with the last two services. They don't use most of the spare parts really. They use cheap compatible products locally available in the market instead of genuine hero products and they charge two/three times higher rates for those duplicate products. Besides, most of the duplicate products are not permanent. The last two times I have replaced the headlights, but both times the headlights did not come on for a day. I condemn Joy Motors (GUWAHATI) for cheating people like this.

      Good for city road

      11 weeks ago


      Praveen Kumar

      If you live in the city or anywhere where the roads are paved, you can easily drive it there and take advantage of it and you can save thousands of rupees worth of petrol, but due to its being a smaller brother, it is not suitable for unpaved roads and where the streets are narrow and up and down. I have also just heard that Hero has scanned its subsidy with the government due to which it is not giving a warranty to anyone, due to which consumers and customers are suffering a lot and they are not able to get the warranty, so think well before buying a new Hero electric scooter.

      Don't just go for the simple look

      12 weeks ago


      Arun Ramanathan

      Not many options so went for a simple eclectic bike with a Lithium battery. As promised 60 KM range never obtained usually gets around 25-30km. The service is bad but Bill will be above expectation. Once I changed the headlight it cost me Rs.550. and a small accident with another bike's full body is gone after 4 years vehicle is in my garage since the bad service for a small work.

      Hero Optima CX - Dual Battery

      13 weeks ago


      Vinothkumar P

      I purchased my Optima bike in 2022, and it’s been a great experience so far. Even though I haven’t driven many kilometers, every ride has been smooth and enjoyable. The best part is the freedom from worrying about fuel costs—just charge and go! It’s perfect for city commutes, effortlessly staying within speed limits while offering a comfortable and efficient ride. If you're looking for an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and reliable option for daily city travel, Optima delivers.

      Read it in full, before buying any scooter
      This is my honest review for Hero Electric Optima, If you find any other about this by account then ignore that now this is my honest review I mean it is a good scooter by Hero you can buy it. You can buy it because this is a very comfortable, smoothly riding scooter, you can buy it. It is a good option for daily commutes it gives almost 50 kilometres for two riders and single rider it gives 60 kilometres.

      Truly incredible exploits: my journey with the Hero Optima CX Scooty

      40 weeks ago


      Harsh

      Purchasing Hero Optima CX scooty was an awesome experience. Starting at the point I entered into the dealer’s shop, it was all smiles and a lot of professionalism that set the mood for everything.
      One thing that impressed me about the salesperson was how well-versed they were in all aspects of Optima CX including its benefits. In doing so they took time to learn my needs and preferences. They were patient as they clarified everything for me and provided some insights on what would help me make a good choice.
      Riding Optima CX during testing felt great because of its smooth-running engine and comfortable seat. The moment you press the accelerator, this bike gives you instant torque with ease owing to its electric motor while seating ergonomics take care of your sitting position. Riding it over uneven pavements convinces me even more about its sturdiness.
      The salesman also helped me with different money transfer options so that my purchase could be easily without any difficulty. They told me about warranties and post-sales services, making sure that nothing was worrying me regarding the dependability of this investment.
      In conclusion, riding out on my brand-new Hero Optima CX made me feel proud and excited beyond words.

      Keep getting the service done on time and drive carefully while riding. And if you go out for riding, fully charge the scooter and keep an eye on the battery indicator while riding and always wear a helmet for safety, not to avoid the police.

      The experience was good.
      Smooth riding. Cool look. Maintenance of trustable brand. it's worth buying. I bought it almost 1 year ago. Its battery is just good.it is very silent. Its looks are not great. It has a very low maintenance. It has a very good range and speed. Its ride is smother than other electric vehicles.

      I selected my OPTIMA 2.0 after a test drive from Niya E-Bikes Thiruvananthapuram at Pallichal and I am very happy with my scooter and overall experience. The most beautiful thing is it's a no-maintenance cost vehicle simply enjoying the ride, took only 4 days for delivery at the Trivandrum showroom.

      Srivasan

      Super economical bike with good mileage and service in Coimbatore region is very excellent. The after-call service enquiring the service improvement and also fixing any issues at a cheap cost is the best in the industry. 3 services have been done and so far spent just 150rs for service. Great comeback hero Electric in the Coimbatore region.

      Read it in full, before buying any scooter
      This is my honest review for Hero Electric Optima, If you find any other about this by account then ignore that now this is my honest review I mean it is a good scooter by Hero you can buy it. You can buy it because this is a very comfortable, smoothly riding scooter, you can buy it. It is a good option for daily commutes it gives almost 50 kilometres for two riders and single rider it gives 60 kilometres.

      19 weeks ago


      Krish

      Very bad scooty total money waste. I have bought it now it is not running daily new new problem occurs. Showroom owners and agency owners are providing the worst service ever. They just want money or nothing else. Do not buy this scooty by bicycle in the place of it. the worst service and worst scooty.

      Don't buy hero electric scooter

      23 weeks ago


      Dr Surjith Sadanandan

      Pathetic service, every month 5-6 times it will break down, and the service takes too much time, each visit they will charge 700 -800 rupees, but no use after some days again it will break down
      After complaining about the reduced rage for some months they came and took the battery and went, no update about the battery, more than 4 months over, don't buy their products, and no response from the company also.
