I've had my Pro for almost a year now and use it everyday - it has a word brake problem initially and we swapped that and it's fanatic now.
Pros: Fast, Powerful (I'm 100kg and travel about 45 p.h. on the flat and about 30 up a hill), Great Suspension, Feels stable and well made. Folds up pretty easily. Price was petty good 👍
Cons: indicators are crap - basically invisible and badly placed on the handle bars. Extra disappointing because the lighting on their earlier Hero range was awesome.
Their other lights are a bit naff - the hero's were heaps better and given that visibility can save your life i wish they had sorted it.
The front Tyre needs to be pumped evert week- not the end of the world.
Overall if they fixed the lights I'd buy this again in a heart beat.

Most Fun with your Clothes On
I am a Big Boy (117kg) and looking for local commutes, but was sceptical to find something that would be able to ride without struggling uphill. Took me a long time to decide and finally took the leap with PUNK and bought the 1200w PRO Dual Motor. WOW, this is the most fun I’ve had (with my clothes on) since riding motorcycles in my 30’s. The scooter comfortably carries my weight around and with the dual suspension I ride humps like a kid. Worth every dollar spend and would highly recommend this to anyone at any age. In fact, I’m looking to get a second one for the wife and kids to share, but they only getting the Single 600w (LOL) #ThanksPUNK #AwesumScooter
New stock lands 15th July!! Limited quantities, don't delay on this one, it's a hot cookie!
The latest and greatest from the legendary Hero Scooters, Punk is a brand new concept and range, built by the same founders with the same attention to detail and performance that has made Hero scooters so popular.
The Punk Rider Pro takes on board the feedback and experience gained with the last 3 years of production and comprehensively completes the ‘list of wants’ for today’s scooter riders.
Riders wanted cool modern styling, self-sealing tyres, reliable low-maintenance drum brakes, clear indicators, side lights for visibility, extreme water resistance, as well as performance and range. And boy, have Punk delivered!
The Punk Rider Pro offers an IPX6 grade of weather resistance, the highest available on a scooter at this level. Full-length LED strip lights create a highly visible night-time outline, and full-length indicators make your riding intentions clear to other road users.
Performance is lively from the twin 600w motors, and a capable max range of 50km comes from the 18-ah battery.
The super-clear and bright display with cool-as retro digital dash cluster is another class-leading feature every owner will appreciate. No more squinting in the sunlight.
The Punk Rider Pro ticks so many boxes that we fully expect it to be an overnight success in New Zealand. We love that the factory has listened to our feedback and acted on it to create possibly the perfect sports commuter scooter for Kiwis.
