Price for D15i is Rs 99,999/- (ex-showroom)
Price for D15 Pro is Rs 1,14,999/-(ex-showroom)
D15 pro is a Weak scooter! Less safe Overpriced scooter with Low range, low pickup and lacks even navigation display!! :
1)D15 pro lags more than double time (i.e 7 seconds) to just reach 40km speed (from 0), While many scooters priced over 1Lakh+ cost take around 3 seconds, so D15 is 200% slower to pickup even 40kmph speed compared to mainstream electric scotters priced over a Lakh!
How can such slow D15Pro scooter be priced 1.15 lakh is beyond us.
2) Disc brakes reduce braking-distance and gives us safety to prevent collision, even some old 100cc scooters have Disc brakes, but this D15 Pro comes with Drum brakes!! making it lack driving safety
3) For 1.1 lakhs ‘Simple energy One’ scooter has Navigation display in scooter, 1.22 lakhs price for Okhi90 scooter, but this D15pro priced at 1.15 lakshs does not even have a color display/ navigation display when compared
4) For 1.1 lakhs simple energy range is about 220+kms, Okhi90 scooter range is about 160kms for 1.22 lakhs, But this D15 pro even at 1.15 lakhs claims just 115Kms range!
5) Mainstream EV scooters priced over 1Lakh price have Navigations Lcd color display, but this scooter does not
Thus this is a weak, very slow, unsafe(drum brakes), Less range, less feature (Lacks even Navigation/color display) scooter priced disproportionally high.
6) A 100cc petrol scooter is not called a high-speed scooter, this D15pro which is weaker than a 100cc claims high-performance high-speed scooter! That is misleading in all accounts!
its range is weaker than mainstream scooters price over 1.1lakhs, its pickup is weak, its top speed is less at 60Kmph as well.
It is beyond us how Bgauss even claims this weak (than even some old 100cc scooters) laggy scooter as big upgrade in ads taking buyers for a ride!
This D15pro appears like downgrade amongst mainstream electric scooters priced over a lakh.
