one of the most important questions the media is not asking is what about right to repair situation will be, will they allow 3rd party co to repair? will they provide repair syntax? and connected tech also has an evil side, the subs, remote monitoring by the co, serial no lock already we are seeing that co hates when customers own something for a lifetime (like they revoke perpetual license of somethings )

Visit showroom irrespective of any scooter, check the product and take a test drive.. opt for the 1 which suits your requirement.

Bande me hai dum. Delighted to hear from two favourites from jaipur. I'm a delhi guy, have a actica for 12 years and access for 7 years. Went for ascooter hunt last week for sister. Wanted a low seated scooter. Test ride taken for fascino, dio and ather. Fascino and dio were majorly underwhelming compare dto my access. The sales reps were not that enthusiastic as well. But ather, it's something else. The warp mode is ballistic. The sport mode of 450s was as good as my access. 139000 on road with 15k subsity. 125k for 450s looks almost good. The sales rep were a delight to talk with. If only I can get my hands on an offer/subsidy which brings the price down further, it's a done deal for me. Also Tarun seems a real bright chap. His gujrati business accument and concepts are clear. Is ghode pe paisa jaroor lagayega apun.

Have used EV Moped for more than 2 years and for almost 22000 km, My observation: 1. EV two wheelers are definitely good. Product Differentiation based on Low and high power motor and High and low capacity battery would EV two wheeler offering more inclusive by covering all the use cases of an urban two wheeler moped. 2. EV Two wheeler aftermarket repairs and spare parts need to be encouraged as it'\s crazy costly to go with original parts. Like a simple Brake pad costs 700 Rs which is easily available at 350-400 Rs. Same thing for brake levers. In case EV, Considering complexity of Electronics involved, OEM must publish repair manuals. 3. EV Cars are for very small number of people who has monthly 2500+ km usage. Otherwise a good CNG car is more than enough, financially and environmentally.

[@mknagaraj3695]

I started doing job around 9 years back. For 7 years i never bought a bike. But during COVID time, I realised that I needed a 2 wheeler. So i bought an electric scooty. I used it for almost an year. I took it on long rides. I had ridden it in city conditions. From my experience no1 - I learnt the reason why do people buy petrol vehicles. 😂 no2 - I'm not that poor.., that I cannot even manage to buy fuel on a monthly basis. 😅 After this enlightenment Now I bought a 400 cc bike.

If you say that in future battery tech will advance, then it will do so for EV also, the bike getting 100km today will get 200km tomorrow, makes hybrid in scooter totally moot also the battery life on hybrid will be worse because of how frequently it is cycled in traffic (1 cycle = 100-0-100), avg ev scooter 1 cycle = 100km, you can drive 50000km+ on original battery before range starts reducing.

Points for Tarun - You got free advice from one of the industry's finest. You definitely need to make edu-adverts 20 seconds each for advanced "SUV style" features in two wheelers. At least 6 such ads explaining one feature in under 20 seconds. Think of how short Zoo-Zoo ads worked for Vodafone. 2 features that are relevant for youth. 2 features relevant for older women - fallsafe, manually limiting speed. 2 features for older men - bigger boot for stuff, charging woes in emergency situations.

Bhai aise mauke pe to grill karna chahiye tha, I like that you tried, Vikas. I was hoping you would discuss on this point too that EVs are generally considered green which is not true. To achieve comparable carbon footprints between an electric vehicle (EV) and an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, the ICE vehicle must run for at least 6-7 years to offset the energy expended in building the EV. This is when both vehicles reach a point of equal environmental impact.

[@rohanch07]

Fake news. This is true only if you are throwing out your existing and working IC vehicle in favor of an EV. But if you're purchasing a new vehicle anyway then there isn't much of a difference between EV and IC vehicles. And EVs don't emit smoke.
