What owners actually said

Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.

“This scooter will fail miserably in the Nepalese market. Because of its price, the price of this scooter is Rs. 4,15,000 NRP so most of the Nepalese who is looking for a two wheeler will consider buying Bikes or other lower price scooter than to buy this scooter.”
