   Sir I’m very confused Please help me in choosing the right e-bike for me
   I live in Indore [m.p.]. There are four brands.
   [1]-Yo bike
   [2]-TVS Teenz electric
   [3]-Princy e-bike (walkman world)
   [4]-Oreva e-bikes
   Or should I go for another good brand in any other city? Like–
   1 - Ultra Motors
   2 - Hero cycles
   3 - Atlas cycles
   Or another brand not listed above

   I’m handicapped and can drive a two wheeler with rear side wheels atteched on both sides.
   My needs are—
   1 - Everage upto 70 km single charge with load 100 kg
   2 - Load carrying capacity 120 kg at least
   3 - Easy availibilty of spare parts
   4 - Long battery life [at least 15,000-18,000 km
   5 - Less running cost
   6 - Good and reliable service backup
   Your advise will be very helpfull for me

   Hi Sir,

   I would suggest you to wait for some more time as the electric biking concept is fairly new in india.
   Avalibility of spare parts would be a concern even with good brands . And as you are planning to attach two more wheels the average milege and the carrying loads would decrease much.
   Eko motrs are planning /have launched a new bike will 800 v motor.
   You may want to check their website. I am not sure if they have dealership in indore.

   Regards.

   Dear sirs,

   I bought ULTRA marathon in march 2nd in chennai.
   It is going good and wonderful in terms of medium speed, petrol saving, ecko friendly.

   The price seems little high and my comments after riding this.

   1. The front and rear shok absorber should improve more as existing one is not effective even for single rider
   2. The seat style is more downwards front side, it should be straight as in motor cycle.
   3. Instead of acid battry, you can sell litheon battry which gives triple mileage and fast charger.
   4. The speed or torque should be improved little more, when raiding in bridge single and double it is going 10 to 12 km which is problm in riding.
   5. Tyre size alsocanbe improved as it gives imbalance many times.
   Awaitng for the day when i get litheon battery, if you bring u can also arrange exhange for the existing battery.
   rgds and thanks for the wodnerful bike

   Hi

   my suggestion is please don’t go for ultra motors any type of scooters. firstly the technique is new. not enough service centers to take care. battery problems.
   i am having a ultra velocity which was bought during the month of may 2008. you don’t believe so far i have spent rs.15000/- for repairs and replacements. hence my sincere advice is not to go for electric bike especially from ultra motors. if you want any clarifications you can contact me thru 9444934992

    Sir,

    I am VERY VERY UNHAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY with 2 nos of Ultra Scooter, which was purchase last year.

    Till date i am facing lot of problems intermittently and repaired several times and spend thousands of rupees …

    The total purpose of spending around 80 thousands on two vehicles is in vain.

    We have made “Y O U ” RICHER BY 80 THOUSANDS and got a TROUBLE FULL VEHICLE which is most of the time is in the garage for repairs.

    1. Battery charging having problem ie., it does not retain the charge for long and needs frequent charging

    2. Average of mileage is very poor.

    3. Wheel has a problem of getting jammed suddenly.

    4. Speed very very slow NO PICKUP.

    PLEASE ask your company executives to CHECK on my problem.

    RATHER…… I WULD PREFER TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND VEHICLE RETURNED. AS THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVEN US TOO MUCH OF NIGHTMARE.

    Please do contact me ASHOK / ASHISH +91 9380311999 / +91 9884087356 otherwise on my e-mail id ashok@ashlok.in / ashishtripathy@mac.com.

    Hope you understand our problem

    Awaiting your quickest reply.

    Till date i am facing lot of problems intermittently and repaired several times and spend thousands of rupees …

    In that one vehicles battery has been replaced IMMEDIATELY AFTER 9 MONTHS.

    AND AGAINNNN Last month vwhicle had little problem of breaks getting jammed , was sent for repairs and was charged with 2000/- , After 15 days it was given ….. but from the next day it stopped working. And now the company says that the battery is gone….hv to be changed and it will cost 10,000/=

    Well if the battery life is only 9 months then????????

    The total purpose of spending around 80 thousands on two vehicles is in vain.
