Reviews of Ather 450X Gen 2

Buying Experience: not a happy experience for anyone due to a long waiting period and because of the pricing tag. 1.89 lakh's in Bangalore is the actual price. Only one branch in Bangalore and people need to go there for any small issues.
Riding Experience: pickup is the only good thing. Height is a little more and will.be tough for those with less than 5.5 feet height. Shock absorbers are worst and riding experience not good on uneven roads
Connected features need a subscription. Otherwise even an app or charging station charging does not work
Just around 70 to 75 km actual distance with one charge which needs 5 hours to charge again.
Looks: ok ok, different look but not so comfortable. Very few options in colors also.
Servicing: only one service center in all over Bangalore, company say they will pick and drop but that need a subscription.
Pros:
Pickup
Make in India
Cons:
Price, 1.89 lakh's actual on-road price (government gives 29k discount)
Government discount will go to company pocket.
5 hours charging needed for 75 km travel.
Only one branch in Bangalore for all service and issues.
After-sales response is not very good.
The charger is external and needs to be fixed to the wall.
Long travel not feasible as the bike does not have an internal charger.
An external charger is heavy and costs 15k extra.
Proper planning of ride needed, one wrong route will screw-up our travel.
Very few charging points and many do not work.
The battery will discharge while biking not in use.
Worst shock absorbers.
Extra height.
Subscription for servicing.
Subscription use maps and connected features.

About the Reviewer

Buying Experience:
Buying experience is pathetic, i have pre-booked vehicle by seeing an ad with false information. Waited 11 months to receive vehicle.
No proper information given at purchase time also. No proper invoice it self.
Govt discount will go to company account.
Just a very normal electric scooter given for an amount of 1.89 lacs money
All the other features need subscription and subscription amount changed multiple times before even start
Riding Experience:
One good thing is pickup, but shock absobers are pathetic. Need flat road to have peaceful riding.
Public Charging points not available properly, and those available does not work, and it need solid 6 hours to get charged
Company claims 15km for 10 mins charging but it never works with fast charging also (tested from ather Experience center it self)
Ather mobile app is just a waste it wont show basic information also with out subscription.
Maps and dashboard get stuck in the middle and make u get confused with no information on how many km left on drive
Keeping idle will reduce charging, 15% went to zero in 2 days.
No portable charger, we need to pay 10K more to get portable charger even after buying scooter with premium amount of 1.89 lacs
Over all no satisfaction from 1.89 lacs scooter, it will be just a show piece after few months.

Previous model was around 1.2 lakh now 1.8 lakh, even we can ride petrol bike buy pay 200 per liter more .Also don't get trap for those they say about cost saving for that millage and speed we can buy good bike or scooter for less than a lakh still get a better mileage and cost effective. And monthly subscription for other features.

About the Reviewer

Cost is very high otherwise is good and no removable battery, need to improve the range of bike cost is very high otherwise is good and no removable battery, need to improve the range of bike.

About the Reviewer

The heaviest part of the bike i.E. The battery is above the wheel hub (bearing) line thus making the centre of gravity higher. I have noticed that you cant tilt much when cornering or the vehicle will definitely lose balance. Will be tough to ride this on wet streets in monsoons. This is a major safety issue. Also, the battery doesn't look like it will last long.

About the Reviewer

Pros:-
Comfortable in riding. No back pain and good experience while taking delivery. May be more than a 150 cc bike. Brakes are good does the work
Seats is like a jelly seat it is also good.
Cons:-
Subscriptions for facilities I hated it. Range is not getting as described.
Price is very high not easy for a middle class.

About the Reviewer

Took a small test drive. Experience was good. The vehicle body frame and design are good. Belt drive may be a under design. The mileage of 85 kms per charge is very low compared to what claimed by ola and simple one. Very very highly priced. (on road rs1.51/- at Chennai) service cost of 2500/- at every 5000kms is also very high, subscription of app 2400/- per annum is also high. No free service. With very few electric scooters in market, they might survive now. In a year or two, they might not be in the market or might loose business if they don’t reduce the price and with other competitors coming in soon. For this price, it is not worth. If you have money and conscious about environment, you can buy.

About the Reviewer

Riding experience is good but the cost wise its very costly also the price mentioned in "bikewale" is also wrong, and its range is the second brand killer for Ather 450x with only 85 kms in a single charge. Ather 450x is the costliest electric scooter in India, its on road is 1.65 lakh, so price wise it is my personal review not to go with this scooter, other emerging brands are arriving in 2022, so its never late to wait for a perfect model to get launched.

About the Reviewer

Pricing is too much as you need to pay more. No proper assistance.
Don't buy Ather go for TVS or Bajaj.
Insurance costs you 5000 rupees.
Check other electric vehicles as their pricing is less than Ather.
TVS iQube is good at its price or check Bajaj Chetak.
Wait for more EV's to come in years. The future is electric only.
