5 Rating

Photon

I’ve been riding the Hero Electric Photon for over a year, and it remains my most reliable scooter. The seat height and soft suspension make it comfortable even on uneven city roads. Its 1.87kWh battery provides 108km range with consistent performance in both riding modes. The digital console, halogen headlamp, and telescopic forks add convenience, while tubed tyres offer great stability on turns.
