The sound of the scooter 😂😂

[@manoekambaram2138]

Operation cost for a year Electric - 700 X 12 =8400 Petrol - 5000 X 12 = 60000 Maintainance cost for a year Electric - 30,000 for batteries ( not revealed yet by company, just an estimate) Petrol - 12,000 for service Total annual cost estimate Electric - 38400 Petrol - 72000 Difference could be roughly around 30,000/year It is a great deal to switch to electric. 👍

[@sujaykadam99]

It gets on my nerves when people compare original stuff to already established products in the market, like this scooter being compared to Tesla, different leagues, vast difference in budget. Bring that money over and look what we can do. It is not an "Indian Tesla", its "Ather" just Ather.

[@paliarun]

The battery life and KM run on a charge will reduce drastically like any other battery product eg. Phone... What the producers of these bikes also need to inform is how many KM in full charge will be run 1. After 10000 km 2. After 25000 km 3. After 50000 km. Am surprised no one reveals this data !

[@TheAshis20]

Some feedback 1. Detachable battery pack will be good as it will help people to charge the battery inside home 2. Price should be kept around 80k 3. What about post sale services

[@Sumitrana33Z]

*1 lakh 24 thousands plus 10k annual subscription Bullet plus battery life is max 50000km naaa dude this thing not gonna work in India*

[@PratapKanhed]

To be frank, If I buy TVS NTORQ, I amm getting in 1.25 lacs that is a powerful scooter and 27000 kms of fuel (at RS 90 PL) will last for avg. 3 yrs of common ma and I am sure this scooter's batteries will suck twice in 27000 km that will cost again 30000 rupees to change batteries. Why any one gets fucked up by 80000 more only for nature? The price should be around 50-60 k, I don't see any rocket science of 1.25 lacs.

[@shaantubes]

Yes it is expensive but people in the comment section are forgetting that how good it can be to commute in the city that too without contributing anything towards pollution. Once more people buy it its cost is going to reduce. People in the comment section are actually typical indian. I'm doing my graduation, once I'm on a job I'm gonna buy it Ather is Indian company its our duty to appreciate and alleviate.

[@harishsubramanyam3393]

[@Iam-ob8tf]

When you compare it with petrol scooter 1) they gives an average of 50 Kmpl 2) suppose price is 60000 for petrol one 3) For 10000 Km petrol scooter goona cost you 60000+(10000÷50)×80(price) =76000 (plus service cost) Around 80000 But for electric one 4)for every 10000 km you have to pay less than 1500 Net cost will go to at max 130,000 Market adoption will start when this kind of scooter will cost around 80000..

[@vroombk]

Damn Mathematics!

[@wasifshaik2352]

If you have a scooty providing milage of 40km which costs about 60 thousands, hardly you would ride a scooty for 6 to 7 years.Now the cost of petrol a scooty uses is not more than 2000rs for necessaries.6years which is 72months*2000rs=144000rs of petrol.+60000rs bike+10000 of services and repairs= 214000the total cost of a petroleum bike if you use it for 6 or 7 years .......... ELECTRIC BIKE------- Cost---1.25 lacs + Services and repairs of 6 years 25000 approx =1.5LACS DEDUCTIONs-------- 214000-150000=64000 is the difference which you save after completion of 6 or 7 years.64000/72months=889rs you will save per month if you use ather electric bike when compared to petroleum bike. LETS TALK ABOUT DISADVANTAGES OF ATHER ELECTRIC BIKE. 1) spare parts could cost more compared to a petroleum bike. 2)you will save hardly 900 to 1500 per month. 3)delicate body. 4)should be cautious where to park, should take care of it like a baby.risky if you park in public areas. 5)cannot be used roughly when compared to petroleum bike. ADVANTAGES----- 1) ECO-FRIENDLY 2)OUTSTANDING AND FLAUNTING. 3)LATEST FEATURES WHICH COULD NOT BE THAT MUCH USEFUL😅

[@aycaramba5038]

with ather you have to pay monthly 1000rs for maintenance and charging and you would have to change the battery pack atleast once in 6-7 years which may cost between 20-30k

[@MsAkash1995]

People will think that this is going to be a failure scooter But. 20 Years down the line, these bikes are going to rule the market

[@TheTECHTract]

No issues with the price. Electric vehicle will cost more. But that range of just 75Kms is a big let down. Again fast charging will take 2 hours. Anything less than 200Kms of range is hard for mass market adoption. Think for a moment, you spend 1.25L and then you buy a permanent tension of running out of juice too soon. Your riding range is limited. And as the batteries will fade with time this will even get worse. And battery replacement will be expensive too.

[@RaJeshSinGh-rs8nb]

Vipan Kumar 75 kms is a lot of range sir. Point being, this is made for city commuting, saves up on fuel, less things to break down, no vibrations and feels like you are gliding. Plus Athers got you covered on almost everything fromt battry to motor and free installation of charging point at your home with 24/7 roadside assistence. There is alot of service they have to offer. I being a resident of bangalore, can travel from north bangalore to south bangalore and back in a single charge. And it is very convenient. For Now in India, electic veichles make alot of sense for city riding given the traffic conditions and fluctuating fuel prices. You can quite litrally pay off the EMI of the scooter from the fuel expenses of the month.

[@RaJeshSinGh-rs8nb]

And yhea forgot to mention about the charging, The fast charging puts 80% in an hour. That is impressive actually. And even if you dont have access to one, its not that hard. Suppose you are going to your office and then you can put it on charge and when its time to go home, it ll be 100%. Or do the same when you come back home, put it for overnight charge. Just have to time it right. Its the same thing we do when our bikes come in reserve, time it right for refuel before the tank empties.

[@tosheshdaulta8899]

By the time you wear out the batteries, they will be much cheaper.

Frankly speaking electic vehicle revolution wont happen untill Li-ion batteries are still running the show. They are expensive, less energy dense and Li mining really causes harm to environment. We need solid state battery or sodium metal batteries with graphene to truely acheive the dream EVs

[@mashhadedibam9822]

Graphine has been in the testing phase since more than a Decade. And until there is a demand for it they say it won't come into production.

[@topcommentor1655]

Both Ather and Activa might cost the same in long run. Ather is initially costly while activa costs more to run and mantain. Both have good acceleration. I hope Ather releases much powerful vehicle even if it costs more. I want to ride a premium electric vehicle.

[@powerdriftofficial]

We might see that soon!

[@AnkurPandeyef]

I have no problems with the price, considering that there are almost zero feul costs, extremely low majntainence costs etc. The only thing that is problematic for me is its dependence kn Aether owned charging points. There should be an option to charge it anywhere, just like a phone. Otherwise it becomes too limited.

[@shyampsunder2003]

You can charge it at home

[@ramachandrans.pillai2039]

Congratulations to the producers of this bike. It is an elegant and international look bike. I understand the creators of this bike are Indian YOUTHS!!! Well done 👍 , Indian youths!!!

At 9:09 i feel dentist removing cavities while doing root canal 😅

[@kgsivaprasad2356]

Only the problem is the charging of battery...we have to wait for hours till the completion of charging...but if that battery is installed in such a way that the passenger can easily replace simultaneously with an another same type of battery which was charged at home ( a battery charger suitable for the scooter battery can be provided at homes ) Hence a battery chamber should be provided conveniently that the passenger can easily remove the empty battery and replace with the charged one...and same time that empty battery can be kept in charging at home...The benefit is saving time...no charging at outside... !!! Only we need an extra battery and a battery charger...!!!

[@MsSomeonenew]

It does indeed, but you now also have options to use different fuel, including producing your own.

[@darshantrvd]

More reasons for getting the grid greener. Even with coal-burning, EVs are still greener because of the insane energy efficiencies of the electric drivetrain over the ICE drivetrain. I encourage you to research more on the subject, its all very fascinating. And we should be going toward greener grids.

[@bjorn1583]

even if the electricity is made with coal it still only produces around 50% of the CO2 than if it was petrol, and that doesnt include all the CO2 that was produced to get that petrol from under the ground to the petrol station

[@filipbunalti]

I like how he dropped in the AMC for 10k/year so casually. I don't think I spent anywhere near that much even for my Duke 200, mate. Regular petrol scooters would be significantly cheaper.

[@vroombk]

Ayush Sharma Because unlike petrol motors, the AMC covers everything except tyre replacement. Which will mean brake pads, brake oil, battery service, pick up and drop cost. Not so casual after all ha?!

[@filipbunalti]

Thanks for the details, but still an order of magnitude more expensive, my friend. Brake pads are dirt cheap, they last for half an eternity, and brake fluid even longer. Even more so in city-riding that this scooter is designed for. For context, Honda cars (not two-wheelers, but cars) have 3-year AMC contracts in 10-15k range, inclusive of oils (but not brake-pads, pickup/dropoff).

[@fairussalim]

Why don't they made the battery removable and the charging station provide replacement battery. So we just swap the battery and don't have to wasting time waiting the battery to fully recharge. Just an opinion

[@callroland]

muhamad fairus.. Cost more and weights more..

[@fairussalim]

I mean they can making the universal type of removable battery that can be use at any type of electric vehicle. And the charging station works like gas stations that provide maybe a machine of something, that can help swapping the battery easily. So customers just pay for the power capacity that they use. Just an opinion

[@nrmaliya]

Check out Sun Mobility. They have a battery swap solution. It might answer your query to some extent.

[@BalasubramanianJRaj]

@@nrmaliya thanks Nishit

[@MsSomeonenew]

Well you need to have a huge number of extra batteries and stations to make that work, which is very costly.

[@Unknown-rj4qj]

Apart from the cost, one has to pay an annual subscription fees of 9,900 for best plan and the battery needs to be replaced after every 5 year which cost 35,000 means 7,000 annually . So you have to shell out atleast 17,000 annually. And the milege is also very low and for short journey. So I will still go for a normal bike.

[@harkharajbharali808]

And destroy the environment

[@Unknown-rj4qj]

@@harkharajbharali808 In India today there is only 35% electricity generated from renewable sources and 65% from non renewable sources like coal plant. So even if you buy this and charge at any regular electricity port say 100 unit then you will use 65 unit of electricity from non renewable sources mostly coal power plant in India. So you are not making very significant change to the environment. If electricity for charging comes from solar or any other renewable source then only it will help the environment.

[@Unknown-rj4qj]

@@harkharajbharali808 I'm also concerned about the environment but that does not mean any xyz company can rob me of money on pretext of protecting the environment. I like the concept of electric bikes but subscription plan is just bullshit. It's a product like phone. I pay the price once and use it as long as I want. I don't and will never pay inflated price and then subscription fees for it. 1.25 lakh for bike and then 10,000 per year is nonsense.

shwetank verma BS6 is leaps and bounds beyond BS4. That's the reason why the incremental BS5 standard has been completely eliminated.

Price is pretty high Someone would buy a 60k scooter and save 65k which could be spend on fuel, though it is good for our environment but 1.25 for a scooter which won't be reliable in raining or ruff and tuff use as well as you'll have to have a knowledge of charging points around the city! Government should be planting electric charge at fuel stations, that'll be helpful!!

[@ChribinMattews]

Charging point are available at google maps and in The infotainment system. And it’s water proof so yeah you can ride it durning rainy season.

[@ChristHeart]

Chribin Mattews you didn't get what I said bro, the way we face rain in India, flooding roads and everything, plus the points of charging can be found on Google maps but not each city have it and those who have they don't have in multiple places, what I mean is it is not easy to find a charging socket how easy it is to find a fuel pump, this all could be accepted, if the price was a bit low.

[@mrprakashraobs]

Cost per km is not 10 RS . Simply don't say that. Regular scooter cost somewhere around 60 to 70 k. So difference amount on investment is 40 to 50 k. More . Interest on 50k itself will increase to 35 to 45 RS per lt. Added to that battery replacement cost will take it higher than other scooter per km cost. Even though technology is good , cost is on very high side only. Charging is another headache at different points as it will not be in all places

[@nandagopaliyengar1258]

Electric vehicles should come with a long cord and should be capable of getting recharged from ordinary house mains outlets. A special place to charge is a big no no. But this is a very nice design.

[@TheFourthWinchester]

Barely gets over 50km per charge (not 70). Has 10,000rs service charge every year. Battery pack degrades over time. Privacy violations. Costs as much as an Yamaha R15. This is a decent effort, but it's a failed scooter. Even the semi-rich who can splurge on this need more than 50km range at high speeds.

Everyone complaining about the price, you really need to set your expectations right. You pay upfront and save a ton on fuel costs and electric vehicles have lesser moving parts, meaning you aren't servicing it as regularly as a petrol vehicle. Plus you also have lesser wear and tear on the moving parts of the scooter, so you aren't swapping old parts for new ones as regularly too. Finally, it's a honest to good well engineered product, it's not built like a cheap ass 60k scooter, remember most 150cc Vespas cost very close to this.

Really great vehicle. First Tork Electric Bike and now this e-scooter. It is definitely far from Tesla but it feels great to see that us Indians have started making such world class products. The only suggestion I would like to give is there should an e-paper display in the front, because they are much easy to see in direct sunlight and consume less power. The only downside of e-paper is that it's B&W, however I don't see any need of a coloured display there.

Running cost of conventional scooters are high where as the running cost for Ather 450 is just Rs 10 + (10K for yearly Subscription). But the initial investment for conventional scooters are almost 50% less than Ather 450. This will be more or less equal to amount saved in running cost of Ather 450. Total Running Cost for 5 Years Including the initial Investment = 108,588 (Running Cost for 65K KMS) + 70000 (New Petrol Scooter) Total Running Cost for 5 Years Including the initial Investment = 55,931 (Running Cost for 65K Kms) + 125000 (New Ather 450)

You are forgetting the monthly compulsory additional maintenance charges you need to pay for the electric,.

[@sahdevsinghrathore2384]

You're forgetting the most important aspect. The Nature. All of you money minded people will never consider the priority of saving the world.

[@harishsubramanyam3393]

@@sahdevsinghrathore2384 any idea how does electricity is generated? What's the e-waste causes to the nature? How much pollution or damage is caused by these lithium batteries??? I dont know answers for these questions but I like E-Bikes, provided they give more range per charge with cost of scooter in budget range to that of conventional scooters. I feel Ather is over priced and charging 10K per annum for ?????

Its not expensive Its just paying your running cost in advance 😁👏👍 Future is here

[@jefindx]

Instead of providing charging point at Ather point, they should replace the empty battery with the new full charged one. Ie 0 to 100% in seconds.

[@euphoriaeuphoria75]

Good product but quite expensive. It won't be a hit if it's not below 80K.

[@Kalinga_yodha]

It's nice that such feature loaded scooter is built in India definitely this product can open a new gateway to the international market.

[@triangleinepitrochoid]

Ather guys..You people are doing a great job...We hope you people can do even better in battery range..Waiting for more awesome Athers..Love from Kerala...

[@meetshivamp]

every house has a scooty, bike and car.. this is a perfect replacement of low power scooty with a greener futures

[@whyamiherenow5122]

Someones over compensating for range Atleast 200km at full speed(90) Charging for 1 min - 50km (fast charging station) Home overnight charge -full (200) This should be min requirement in a ev(bike) otherwise it is not worth it. Other day I have to travel 30 km up and down, if I put my faith in this vehicle I will be stranded in a nowhere. People sell petrol in bottles outside(villages) , if somebody out of fuel. What will happen if this runs out of battery. Range is very important. Reason ev are not picking up faster despite having many advantages is range believe me. Atleast sell bikes(to ather company) with 150km.

[@poojith1488]

Do you travel in places where there's no electricity WTF what kind of a question is this, I have lost 10 IQ points reading your question no wonder powerdrift ignored it

Haha but your lungs will be filled with exhaust fumes and soot if you cycle in the city this seems to be a better option.

[@Navsuke96]

Jerry Levin well if you can invest 125000 in a scooter then you can certainly buy a mask if it is necsry. I live in an big Industrial city and also with so many vehicls around there are only few areas where we really need the mask. All depends on where you live.

[@pulikantishashank]

I would love to buy this if the range was over 150 km . Price is too high for a techy low range scooter . All I look for is bike taking me from point a to b quickly and minimal cost . Anything over and above is super . I stil appreciate Ather energy for a commendable job and hope to see them better their battery technology to give higher range . Made in india Zinda bad . Hope to see Ather in Hyderabad soon .

[@demorvie]

Probably takes another 5 years to get to that point, Tesla might turn into a battery supplier which will probably help other EV makers.

[@chitsb]

I don’t have a garage. Would heat/rain spoil the battery?

Use a plastic cover and it'll be fine

[@nantumondal8311]

No problem

[@goldrush6105]

So i have to pay for that "sexy stand" and "touch screen" Rs.140000 ON ROAD PRICE......! compared to fuel price when battery dies in a year all calculations goes same for petrol and battery again....! price should be near 70 K....

[@sourinkabi]

Same price you will get R15 v3 which is dope. Than this fkin scooty

[@sureshreddy7047]

Given the tech it comes with, Price is absolutely justified. I would love to buy it when it comes to hyderabad.

[@somil07]

The biggest problem I find for myself before going for any EV is how would I charge it. I have 24 hr electricity in my apartment but we don't have any electric socket in the parking lots, neither in office nor at home.

[@sharmagold1900]

Setup extension from current meter contact ur electrician he will help u

[@meetyouinhell]

Ather will install a charging point at your home - at no extra charge.

[@antaresbnv3350]

What would b the battery replacement cost sir.

[@PavanKondapuram]

Updated price of the scooter is ~1,30,000 INR due to a change in regulation to include 5 years insurance cover. I don't feel a pinch about the price as its a quality and great product, but their subscription model of 8000+ INR a year is too much an ask, after spending a premium on the product. Many like me use scooter for short commutes and the subscription cost doesn't justify the spending per kilometers run. Finally, 10 Rs for 75 Kms is a pure lie.

[@davelawson2564]

Agree about subscription. If you travel less than 700 km per month cost per km extra would be above Rs 1 . Petrol cost Rs 1.50/km if fuel efficiency is 60 per liter

[@shivamk8920]

So if I get it right then for 1.25 lakhs this scooter gives you slim tyres , normal underseat storage , punishment of charging after every 75 kms, I don't see any projector headlamp setup here, good luck riding it in the night, it does offers 20nm of useless torque as it struggles to achieve a speed of 40kmph from zero and takes 4 seconds in that only, well here goes your sporty ride expectations. I would buy any Suzuki scooter simply bcoz they offer style, performance, acceptable mileage and great value for money. They are offering a touchscreen with navigation and a creep feature, that nobody wants, along with an elctric motor for 1.25 lakhs which makes it highly unaffordable for the Indian working class #NotImpressed

[@SharkFishSF]

shivam kalia you don't get it do you? It uses no petrol, but only electricity from power grid which is ofc made from coal. So,....

[@Naveenkumar-vu6fw]

[@PvPTournamentlive]

But I can not go to my hometown.. 250km...patrol bike or a car... Waste for me.... Still I'll look for a electric vehicle.. Bcz I'm Eco friendly and also because I'm educated... Save environment...

[@maxistcool6584]

Good one.. But why we still depend on li-ion technology when Graphene is the future.. Graphene batteries are 6 time lighter, 4 times more efficient when it comes to carry a charge, 4 times cheaper, almost 4 times more durable than li-ion and takes 5 to 10 mins to get charged completely....

[@harshchanchal8237]

Really wish this picks up the market and eliminate all fuel powered bikes and scooters

[@SenthilkumarMuthusamy84]

Post Revolt launch, Ather should change their pricing strategy for the benefit of its own or else they won't survive in long run.

[@yugoyugito8967]

yeah its gogoro smart but it doesnt work out in india . its like battery isnt yours its someone else and reliability is a big "?" yes its good for long distances but how are they going to deliver it for massive crowd at one location ... supply is huge risk .. and battery is not universal for scooters yet .. India needs to make one as Universal Battery so that no matter what e bike or car u make you can fit these with no problems

forgot that we dont live in individual homes most of the metropolitan cities were living in apartments not sure how this e bike going to workout in the near future

indian government is responsible for this they are not even interested to give subsidy on ev bikes , but china already started this scheme there government gives almost 30% price of a ev as subsidy , so the common people start buying ev bikes , cars instead of traditional diesel or petrol cars , but you have to admit that the cost of running this evs are much cheaper than normal motor cycles , they don't need petroleum fuel , or much cooling liquids , and other services every month , you just have to charge it for 2-3 hours daily and then you can run it for 60km easily
