Optima HX Review by Team EV Funda

Optima HX is a lightweight electric scooter. Hero Optima HX is reasonably priced. It is a good electric scooter for errands like buying groceries in your neighborhood. Hero Optima HX Dual Battery comes with an additional battery that you can keep in the charged condition in your home. So it gives you great flexibility. You don’t have to search for a charging station. The weight of a battery is only 9 Kg. So it is easier to handle.

Optima HX is suitable if your driving radius is low. But if you get into fast-moving city traffic you will have to be extra careful while driving. Being an electric scooter, Optima HX does not vibrate at all. So driving is easier and more comfortable.

Optima HX is a practical scooter. But it is not an aspirational scooter for the younger generation. Therefore you should first assess your expectations before you buy Hero Optima HX electric scooter. It comes in four colors are Blue, Grey, Red, and White.

Team EV Funda gives Optima HX a “Buy Recommendation” if you want to purchase a lightweight electric scooter for local errand running. It is an ideal electric scooter for this purpose.
