Pathetic Experience

2 months ago by Ram Mohanreddy1,676 views

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.

Tips for Ather 450X

Better buy a petrol scooter, this is half developed one, left on customer for testing.

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.

2Safety issues 1 month ago by Anand Rathi
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...
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.

It's a beast for the price you pay. You can compare its performance to a Duke 250 on full throttle but ignoring the top speed. It goes up-to 80kmph in the city which is enough and what I liked is the build quality. Things you must keep in mind b4 buying the bike: 1. You need to charge it regularly and manage it well. If you can't manage the vehicle by charging it regularly or forget often to charge, don't buy this vehicle. 2. You need to understand how the ecosystem works. The hefty price is not only for the vehicle. You get other services as well. Although for 1.6L I definitely feel it's worth it. You don't have to pay for petrol. That's a huge W. 3. Make sure you know the nearest charging station so that it's convenient for you to charge your vehicle fast. Don't worry they provide you with a charger at home as well. 4. You need to be gentle with the brakes. The bite is too good and you need to get used it.

My daughters wanted me to buy only electric scooter - for the environment they said. So i booked in august and collected by bike yesterday! riding the bike is an awesome experience... Smooth and effortless ride.. Only issue is the slightly shady billing and invoicing process - even though i paid 1,68,989/- invoice says 1,39,989! ather is issuing two separate invoices - one for less amount (1,39,000) where they claim fame ii incentive and one more additional invoice of balance amount where they are simply charging claiming some upgrade...Thus effectively the individual don't get the fame incentive! so according to this ather 450x will be around 1,90,000!
