There is one cylinder fitted inside this bike and that too under the seat. According to the company, this bike gives a mileage of 213 km on a single CNG tank. And if we talk about the size of the bike’s seat, let us tell you that the company has made the seat quite long and comfortable for its customers.

Further, it comes with a 2-kilogram CNG cylinder and 2 liters of petrol tank. If we talk about the total mileage then let us tell you that if we combine both petrol and CNG then this bike gives a mileage of 330 kilometers.

The company has provided a switch on the left-hand side of the bike with the help of which you can convert the bike to CNG or petrol. The fuel tank cap for filling both CNG and petrol is given in the front. The bike will either run on CNG or petrol but the bike can’t run on both CNG and petrol simultaneously.

Disadvantages Of Freedom 125cc CNG Bike?

It is a 147kg bike which makes it one of the heaviest bikes in the commuter segment. And if we talk about the fuel efficiency it is also a little less as compared to other 125cc bikes in the global market. You will also face problems if you go on long-distance rides as CNG pumps are not available everywhere. You have to fill the fuel repeatedly, which is 2 liters.

Hero Splendor bike gives 95 km mileage per litre and this bike gives 102 km mileage. So there is not much difference. Hero Splendor runs for 1.6 rupees per kilometer and Freedom 125cc bike claims that it will run for 1 rupee per kilometer. I did not find much difference, I am not going to buy this bike after seeing the mileage. Hope you guys find this blog informative, thank you!!
