With its performance, features, and affordable pricing, the Moto Feast aims to be a top contender in the growing Indian electric two-wheeler market. I’ll give my honest take on how it stacks up in terms of design, specs, real-world handling, pros and cons, and value for money after test-driving the Moto Feast extensively. Read on for the full review.
The Moto Feast has a sleek and minimalist design with nice paint finishes. It’s powered by a 1.25 hp brushless DC motor and has a top speed of 55 km/hr. The removable lithium-ion battery offers a range of 80-100 km on a full charge. Key features include LED headlights, a digital speedometer, a mobile charging port, alloy wheels, and regenerative braking.

Okaya Look and Design
The Moto Feast has a minimalist, sleek design with nice matte paint finishes. The plastic body looks flimsy but the clean lines give it a modern vibe.
Top Speed
With its 1.25 hp electric motor, I hit a top speed of 55km/hr on the Moto Feast. This gives it plenty of pep for zipping around the city.
Range
The removable lithium-ion battery offers a decent 80-100 km range on a single charge. This makes it suitable for short urban commutes and errands.
Acceleration
Acceleration off the line is smooth and responsive. The electric motor provides good torque, allowing it to get up to top speed briskly. The motor has enough power to keep the Moto Feast chugging uphill at a steady clip without losing momentum. The braking performance felt reliable with steady, quick stops from the disc brakes.
Suspension and Ride Comfort
The front suspension soaks up bumps reasonably well but the rear suspension is stiff. Overall ride quality is acceptable.
Features
The LED headlight provides good visibility at night. The digital display shows speed, battery level, riding mode, and other information clearly. The mobile charging port is very convenient. I also appreciate the inclusion of alloy wheels rather than spokes. The regenerative braking helps extend the range by converting kinetic energy into battery charge while slowing down. Safety features like the side stand sensor are welcome
Performance
I test-drove the Moto Feast on different roads including busy city streets, open highways, and hilly terrain. The acceleration is smooth and responsive, easily reaching top speeds. The motor remains peppy even on inclines. The top speed delivers an exciting rush of speed while feeling in control. Braking brings the scooter to quick, safe stops. The front suspension absorbs bumps decently though the rear feels stiff. Overall, the performance is on par with other electric scooters in this range.
Pros
- Good acceleration and top speed
- Reliable braking performance
- Reasonable ride comfort
- Useful features like LED light, digital display, etc
- Affordable pricing
Cons
- The rear suspension feels stiff
- Plastic body feels flimsy
- Limited dealer network for service
