Ola S1 Pro vs Ather 450 X vs TVS iQube S vs Bajaj Chetak I Electric scooter comparo I Autocar India

[@vb46]

I love that you chose a winner. The deplomatic verdicts were dragging you down.

[@sameerdeshpande6360]

I am using Bajaj chetak for last 9 months and done more than 7000 km. Constantly getting 95km in eco mode and 82 in sports mode. Best build quality. Very satisfying experience.

[@atharvakulkarni1416]

Finally man, someone who I trust posted this video. Kudos to autocar team. Thanks

[@Lopes1Mel]

The 2 finalists didn't surprise me at all. Nice job. 👏🏼👍🏼

[@SDBoral007]

Chetak & iQUBE looks more like a traditional scooter than the others

[@ramspace]

I've noticed that there are no Chinese products in this comparaison.

[@safialam5801]

Chetak is 🤣

[@chinmaypillay]

Ola is based out of China based product

[@sauravsuresh]

Quite a lot of Chinese imports go into building these

[@kgeaswaran]

@@chinmaypillay Ola is dutch based Etergo

[@beyourself5824]

All raw materials of chipsets as well as the ic are import from China,Taiwan and Vietnam.... Ramspace.

[@abhimanyuthapa1348]

Brought I-Qube for my Sister 8 months ago and she's still happy that makes me happy. Autocars pick of the lot is I-Qube that makes me happy again.

[@readmycomment4696]

One thumbs-up from me, loved the details and all-round testing. You all did great and justified my 20mins of time pass :). I say that because I watched it for entertainment purposes, I don't have any plans to buy a scooter or a EV scooter

[@geetarthneo]

Ather is still the worry free E-scooter to buy.

[@Adithya13303]

Definitely! It's a well very well engineered product. The growing Ather grid fast chargers in major cities is the cherry on top.

[@atiquetajir6225]

Only wallet should be worried 😂😂😂 too overpriced Navigation costs u money still it lags too much Service plans charge If u want to use their app u have to pay Pay 1.6 lakhs for a scooter still pay more for using all its features

[@pointmedia1616]

Ather sale started in 2018 but ather become hit in 2022. These years help ather to built best product out. But still over priced.

[@mbangroo]

@@atiquetajir6225 its ok we have the money.

[@SharpTalks]

OLA S1 Pro Is A Beast ❤️ and the European class modern design 👌

[@MrAmoLLL]

lol. such a unreliable vehicle with bad platform

[@unandi4063]

Ather is the winner for me. I prioritise a glitch free experience above everything else. Sorry, riding position/comfort will only matter if your scooter is running. 😅

[@akashr9253]

I am using IQUBE since 1 year and completed 10000kms , extremely happy with the scooter , i own the old version where the claimed range was 75kms (i get around 85km) , only irritating thing is the aggressive regen and boot space which dosen't fit a full face helmet. performance is very good and its easily flickable in the city.

[@vivek6255]

is it good for load

[@vivek6255]

I mean i want to carry my business kind of things which is heavy... currently in using Activa 125 with no issues

[@AnmolxPatil]

In 5 months I completed 15 k kms with my Ola s1 pro happy but some issues but not that much range is almost 110 -120 in normal mode

[@LuckySengar21]

Recently, I purchased Chetak. It is amazing scooter. So practical, premium and sturdy. It's price looks quite expensive, but once purchased you'll realise, it is value for money.

[@amodb5]

Using Iqube S for past two months.Only real drawback is unreliable turn by turn navigation. Although the biggest postive is mind-blowing suspension which absorbs potholes like champ. Believe me, the supreme ride quality is enough for most buyers who ride on poor day to day road conditions.

[@giniray1691]

This review was very realistic and comprehensive. I loved the fact that you actually came up with a verdict which I don't see in most of the comparison videos these days. Thanks for the effort.

[@rooftopmunda]

I haven't even started watching the video but I just want to thank autocar India for this update on EV scooters. Yet, in my opinion we still have about 3-4 years until we get the epitomy of EV vehicles at dirt cheap prices. 🥰

[@KitchenPlatform]

So true... Electric vehicles are just not there yet.

[@paul.pranjal]

Iqube perfectly works for my only city rides , also it’s look are good and a balance between performance and comfy.😊

[@srijanvarma5657]

own an iQube since 8 months and i have experience driving all of the vehicles listed here the ather sits perfectly for my driving style but my mother and any other person would prefer an iQube due to its comfort and easy to drive also service ola is a dumpster fire no clue on ather but TVs so far has been great had a brake issue and got it fixed by the evening

[@anuragjivani5144]

How much range you are. Getting

[@IAN-X]

Ather will never disappoint you ❤️

[@prashwin0917]

Yeah but it will break your back for sure

[@shubhambhavsar1454]

I own Bajaj chetak and let me tell you, it doesn't let me down, it is very well built and has a very good road presence

[@DayumSonny]

Also note, the Ather 450X is the only scooter here that can actually fit a full face helmet in its boot. Been a 450X gen 2 owner for the past 8 months, the ownership experience (range and cramped ergos aside) has been amazing. Just a warning, though... Take your height very seriously as the ergos are almost brutal fro people over 5'10". And the brakes... Woah. They're sharp. You will miss the center stand.

[@NiharAmrute]

Bajaj chetak's design is just killer and the build quality is far superior. Metal body.

[@harshalkarnewar1573]

Above all things are good but chetak doesnot have any thing more No range Costliest No feature Build quality is not everything

[@hashims_cache]

@@harshalkarnewar1573 Also display and button layout is very weird for a scooter at that price range.

[@zenjm6496]

Metal body?

[@SreekanthVarma7]

I bought ola s1 and it was very good and I'm fully satisfied. earlier I had a bad feeling about ola quality and suspension. then I booked iqube, but iqube waiting period is 3 months at same time ola launched s1. i reliazed ola s1 and iqube is offering the same range but ola costs 1.1 lakh and iqube costs 1.4 lakh so i brought ola. Now i completed 1000 kms on ola s1. Here are the pros: - speed is awesome. sports mode will go to 100 within 10 to 15 seconds - range is good as what they mentioned. - key less(everyone saying it is a con. But it is the coming future for cars also. where I won't carry a key and search for the key in home) - Technology (in scooter everything will be controlled by software like tesla. it is the revolution that every company is trying to adopt) and they have free hand to update scooter - range (same range given by iqube and ather at 1.4 lks cost . which i bought at 1 lakh) - storage space is awesome. - headlights is good - design is nice. cause don't need sporty look for scooters. - touch screen is good. - suspension is also good. I've ridden bike in bumpy roads and the suspension is good - speakers - i've added in pro because of sound quality and in nights 11pm I'm playing songs and i'm really enjoying . - least one is software updates. which they are going to add themes and going to add features in the coming days just like the phone. cons: - bump at foot place is bad reall and biggest con. - charging cap is low quality - it's okay my friend replaced and it's costs very low. - everyone saying need center stand . but i won't understand why they need. till now i don't feel it is needed. once movie theater parking guy asked me park in the center stand i said i don't have then he said okay. even i feel having center stand is pain because it need effort to park final: i have mixed feeling about the front single suspension. I don't know in future do i get issue or what but front suspension is good. Every vehicle have some cons. but i feel happy about the pros.

[@Prashant_G]

Owning Chetak past 1 year and believe me it's superb.

[@piyushkatariya1040]

TVS engineering team is really cool, even with ICE engines they create good products.

[@Arnie_Schwarzy]

Using TVS iQube for last 3 months. I'm fully satisfied.

[@anuragjivani5144]

Iqube or iqube S ?? Nd how much range you get in eco mode , Pls reply sir

[@nothingness627]

Considering Ola Cabs non existent customer service, i have striked this scooter out of the list. They are a borderline fraudulent company. Love the quality on the chetak, might consider this one also for the subtle yet modern design. Want to support Ather though for being the torchbearer of the lot, and i want to support the company for its honest approach and the Make and Design in India initiative. Good to see my favourite 2 wheeler company win though. Go TVS!

[@shakilahamed2812]

Yes it should have been the TVS and it is. Well presented autocar team ❤️

[@storm2vega]

Tvs has messed up with its iqube st launch timeline. With its high range, larger boot and touchscreen, it's the best option with fewer shortcomings.

[@SARATHERICLEANDER]

For someone looking to buy an e-Scooter like me, this video is a blessing. Kudos to the Autocar team for such a detailed review on various categories. So many insights to consider. Very well done.

[@vnshaja1903]

I have been using Ola for the last 6 months and covered 6000 km. It is a completely glitch-free experience. I think the belt-driven motor from Ola is better than the Ather and TVS Iqube's hub motor.

[@dheeeraj0136]

By far the most unbiased review i have seen on this lot of EVs. Glad i am subscribed to you guys. Cheers.

[@arunbhardwaj149]

This video literally made my confusions disappear. Thank so much for such an incredible video.

[@rvs4524]

I bought the ather 4 days back n m in love with it. Driven it 200km n the only negative I feel is that it is quite expensive costing around 1.69 lakh on road in my city. Price under 1.5 lakh on road will b impressive and will attract thousands of new potential customers.

[@techielog]

The Ola S1 Pro is a Beast . Riding 70kms daily with hyper… with zero issues. #olascooter

[@aravindbnr]

Fantastic video , really well explained , most doubts were clarified , however wished if you had talked a bit more about maintenence and service costs considering most of the scooters are more expensive than petrol counterparts.

[@sureshkhurpa8992]

I have two Ola S1 Pro and noticed faced any issues until now. Just see a lot of hate on social media to to let Ola down. At the end of the day use it to feel it. Great scooter

[@rc-nr7su]

OLA S1 Pro, Six month ownership. Its a great scooter in terms of handling, balance, speed and breaking. The big tyres, battery at the footboard, compiled with disk breaks gives a safer riding experiance. At this price point the features offered by OLA is way ahead of the competition. Personally experienced the after sales service, they are prompt. People remember the OLA issues during the March-April time. But there is a huge improvement in the software and also the hardware as well. OLA is still catching up with the people need and the improvements.

[@akd-R]

why they were claiming at 130 Km only in ECO mode?

[@raymondjoseph3908]

Great comparison. The EV space is getting more interesting!

[@chiragsehgal381]

Great explanation and hats off to your brainstorming part👍

[@vlogyatri6398]

Best on KZbin ♥️😍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@neerajbhure3914]

Been using Ather 450x 2nd gen for 5months 7k km clocked so far overall great experience so far also have a Access 125 as well confort wise it is not as comfortable as other i am 5'11 but seating position cant be said as cramped. At the initial time of buying was confused between Ola and Ather but lack of physical touch made me ditched Ola and now i think that was a good decision. If possible can Ola,Chetak and TVS owners share service schedule and experience. Mine got serviced at 5k and that was smooth

[@ijustfelldown]

I've only tried the Chetak while I was buying the Husqvarna. It's really good and I'd always choose Bajaj build quality over these new start ups that still need to sort their QC.

[@VarunPachaurii]

Good comparision, I ll go for Ola S1 pro.

[@ADITYAKUMAR-yt2ry]

please... Also discuss about battery life & Battery replacement Cost... Bcoz We R Not Going To Buy New Pice Every Year...

[@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajRE]

Wow.. Out of nowhere IQube is declared winner.. Nice 👏 nicely explained Pros and Cons!

Never have I come across a comparison that is very detailed and left the viewers satisfied! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@kiranponnala]

I driven iQube for 3100km .. No complaints.. Top speed is 88kmph & Range iam getting 105+

[@charanreddy2504]

I'll choose ather 450x coz in our location we have experience centre so no service centre issue and there are life saving charging points for ather whereas it's rivals lack

[@SalmanKhan-dk5fg]

Owned Ather 450X Latest gen 3, 2 months back and whats a product by ather its perfect in indian conditions, handling is too good , and the quality of the fiber faring is impressive one of my frnd crashed from his ather on speed of 60-65 and fiber doesn't break just scratched on side .. buit and fit finish is very nice justify the price and quality of the product.

[@RanjanManohar]

The iQube and Chetak are also significantly quieter than the Ather. This is not something to be glossed over as the constant whine from the Ather gets very annoying with the already loud Indian cities we live in today.

[@sanjivdogra333]

Your reviews are the only saving Grace in flooded youtube.Nice review with finer details.

[@1SaurabhR]

The much needed and the best comparison so far 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽

[@N0Xa880iUL]

Well Thought Out Pick ! It was a tough one

[@ParthGandhimusic]

This was the best comparison and review i could find... I did incline towards iqube but you put all my confusions away. Great comparison

[@Amuzic_Earth]

This is the most comprehensive and accurate comparison videos between the electric scooters. You just missed one single point, which is the hub motor of the TVS, which are not very robust in the long run.

[@rohitmallick2516]

wooohhh! today I was looking for best ev 2 wheeler in Indian market and boom here it is!!!

[@sanjivdogra333]

Hats off dark horse TVS iquib.I will buy one.

[@chandrashekhardandekar1260]

What about safety in case the vehicle gets submerged partially or completely during flooding in rainy season?

[@pavankoyala1]

Great comparison I am watching this after purchasing ola S1 and thought it's a paid video and ola will get top position. Good you gave fair justification and ergonomics of ola and ather are not up to the mark.

[@nageshwagh2476]

Wish you explained the spares and maintenance issues Ather & Ola has when they buy the scooters. That is a major part while buying but no reviewer tells that. Performance, ergonomics, stylings etc still can be compromised upto an extent if brand is good with service and maintenance part.

[@abhijith19931]

Omitting battery warranty and the cost that one might incur to replace it in the future is a glaring one

[@krishnapathak7730]

I own TVs iqube s and I have best experience

[@ranjitnair3702]

Ather and TVS has the least Chinese comnponents. Good that they are also the best

[@joyajnitone5633]

I had seen A Boy whose weight is more than Chetak was riding it ... He was almost 150 kg.. guy And riding it in traffic At No Struggle At All ... That's Bajaj Chetak✨🔥 The only best Scooter in Market r Ather🔥 , Chetak , IQube No doubt on them .. Ola is still fire🔥😂😂😂😂

[@pavneetsingh9161]

iQube is the jack of all trades, it is tech loaded and yet practical. Second is Chetak, which seriously needs an upgrade and a downgrade(in price).

Which EV should I buy? Daily Usage: Limited to 5 - 10km. Purpose: Mainly to run errands - like buying veggies etc. Area: My locality only - a township on the outskirts of a metro city with limited traffic and population.

[@ravikanthvasudeva6]

The basic model of the TVS i cube should be enough for you.

[@prashwin0917]

Surprisingly I cube 😂😂 hub motor performance degrades over time. Ola is always a value for money and more practical than any other scooter here. You can take out range whenever u want and u can take out performance as well whenever u want it's issue are almost vanished now people on twitter wants scooty faster it is full and not for complaints anymore. They have improved and involved over time quiet rapidly. And move OS 3 is just a cherry 🍒 on cake. I m personally using it for last 6 months without any issues. Go for it blindly 👌👌👍👍

[@ramspace]

I'm surprised that considering years of experience in technology designing and building glitch free smartphones, the e-scooter business fails at designing and manufacturing solid bullet and rain proof software technologies.

[@balajijanakiraman-mu9pz]

I’m using Ather 450x gen3 for the last 1.5 years, I’m very much satisfied with the product. Done 16k kms and still at it best condition and consistent range. The only thing cons with Ather is service, it is quite annoying. And the spare parts are expensive compared to the others.

[@vikasshelke5544]

Ola is truly futuristic the way it's body designed and engineered , it looks too clean

[@gowthamv7856]

35to 45kmph is also the top speed on the ola eco mode under 20Percent battery.

Still its the best

[@NikhilChaudhariimbevda]

Ola S1 Pro user..More than 9 month of experience..It blows the wind out of an ancient icube and shitty Chetak(selling old junk in modern day should be criminal..the brand's just don't want to evolve and want to sell stuff with standard shapes/features)..Nearest competitor is Only Ather..But it still lacks a lot of punch and range..

[@shubhamsinghchauhan5491]

Finally a video we all were waiting for
