The Ather 450X is available in two variants: Plus and 'X' priced at Rs 1,27,916 and Rs 1,46,926 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The 450X is the most powerful electric scooter on sale in India. The Bajaj Chetak premium variant on the other hand retails for Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Ather 450X 0-60kmph acceleration time is 6.94 seconds, which makes it quicker than the BS6 Suzuki Access and the TVS NTorq 125. Powering the 450X electric scooter is a 2.9kWh motor producing 6kW of power. We were able to achieve a range of 91km and a top speed of 90km on the 450X. It takes about 5hrs and 45mins to full charge the Ather 450X via a home charger. Fast charging however, will have a charge time of 1.45km/min.
Features on the electric scooter includes Bluetooth, 4G connectivity, ANdroid operating system, reverse mode and navigation. The Ather 450X competes against the Bajaj Chetak and the TVS iQube electric scooters in India.

They really ripped you off specially on the rotor issue. Its not an issue with those light scratches that you showed. You only needed to replace the pads, the rortor replacement at that stage is unnecessary. I have seen worse scarring on rotors and they work perfectly fine.

[@prasad123yadav]

This issue of braking is going to be common on electric vehicles. Coz the motor torque is very high, so braking power required is more. So brake pads are going to be an issue for any electric vehicle. I would recommend not to use the high acceleration modes on any electric vehicle in traffic. Constant acceleration and deceleration using brakes is going to be hard on the brakes. On IC engine vehicles, on bikes we get clutch to control power and use brakes to decelerate. Below quality brakes are another issue. You issue could be a combination of all. I have booked a tvs iqube , it has drum brakeson rear , I have to seriously change my riding style now.

[@NoClassRoll]

Thank God i found this guy, this is what I was trying to say

[@yashwanthbedre8220]

The pads should be regularly checked, if ignored obviously it will begin contact with the disc. so there is no surprise in replacing both.

[@tdhar2009]

Brakes don't erode within 5000 km. Company should stop selling inferior pads. ASK pads have better quality. Lasts 8k easily even when uncles drive covering the rear brake whole time.

It's astonishing that the bare basic like brake pad is unavailable. Also, no other bikes have such brake pad wearing issue so fast. Besides, we switch to EVs for economy but it adds up to the cost when you get it serviced. Are we heading the right direction? 🙄

[@evthink]

Take budget EV then, like Ampere, Hero Electric, Pure EV and Okinawa. Ather service is little costly, not saying they did the right thing here, but Ather Dealership model is not right I feel. Ola is not having dealerships, so hopefully it will be better.

[@vidroidvijayan5654]

Looking at the wear of Ather 450x brake pads, it seems Ather is not (actively) using or not enabled the regenerative braking. With regen, the brakepads should last for long period, Tesla they claim it can last for life of the battery with the single pedal driving..

[@chiragsthakur1022]

people should understand, while buying anything we should have details about the products service first rather than cursing later. This is for everyone not for the youtuber

[@gauravtatkar4386]

Hi Pradeep, Fully agree with regarding the service experience they gave you. However regarding the disc pads, after using Ather for sometime I realized that Ather has Zero regen or braking even when you stop accelerating it still keeps on zooming through smoothly. Result of which we tend to apply a lot more brakes compared to any other normal bike. I feel this could be one of the reasons for disc pads to wear off lot earlier than expected. In most other EV's strong regen is used which almost starts braking your vehicle as soon as you leave accelerator. I felt that was annoying as you need to keep on accelerating all the time and its hurts your hands after some time.

[@rohitghali]

Brake pads depends on braking style too dude. If there are more complete and sudden brakes, they wear off soon. If there's mostly smooth breaking, it uses up regenerative braking. It wears the pads less. At the end of the day, it all depends on ride style and Rider's braking style. Part shortage, I get it. It's bad. But breakpad wear, depends on Rider's and breaking conditions.

[@PradeeponWheels]

True 🙌

[@kamalakarguduru6805]

Yes true., I have duke 390, my rear brake pads worn out at 4000kms., another thing we run the vehicle with worn-out brake pads that will damage rotor(brake plate), that is very normal.

[@yazcool007]

True that ...my fz 25 rear brake pads wears out like anything . My first pads worn out around 4000km. And the yamaha pads are Rs.960/- ... I have around 30k on the odo and max i got was around 5800km....

[@RaviprakashHegde]

Dude, let howmuchever brake you use, it shouldn't go bad so early. Service center guys simply tell to change every part in every service. We should know what to change, why and when. Usually, parts will be good even after their mentioned lifetime. If it's working normal, never change. My Gixxer brake pad is in very good condition even after running 25,000km in Bangalore traffic..!!!

[@tdhar2009]

Idk man I ride a Gixxer and I have had to change my front pad once and rear drums twice. 28k on the odometer. 8-10k is the accepted life of brake pads, by which you go down to the indications, which is 20 percent of material. This pad is just base metal which ground off the rotor. Possibility is a faulty brake system that does not retract properly, or inferior quality.

[@roopeshg1381]

Man, even I own Ather 450x, I visited IBC Park service once, the experience is so different compared to conventional service. You can't identify who the service advisor is, everything feels messed up. I changed my honda cb300r stock brake pads @18k kms, How can brake pads wear out so soon. I found the Bybre brakes on Ather are similar to the ones found in Bajaj pulsar 220F brake pads, if they say no stock, tell them to source from Bajaj.

[@ShankarMurugesan]

Reason 1:- If dirt gets on to the surface, and sticks there, then a pad will hit the dirt whenever it hits the rotor. For example, if your rotor's surface develops a problem, then your brake pads might suffer because they aren't hitting a smooth surface. If the rotor has worn or rusty patches, then it will lose some of its smoothness. If a pad hits a rough surface or even a tiny dirt obstruction, then it gets minor damage whenever you brake. Its surface rubs away on the uneven part, which can accelerate wear. Reason 2:- Sometimes, pads wear down too quickly because your calipers don’t work correctly. Calipers push pads against the rotor to initiate braking. If a caliper jams or sticks, then it might leave the pad on the surface for longer than necessary. The pad will wear down more quickly because it stays on the rotor for too long. Best practices:- Try keeping your disc clean as far as possible to get the most out of it.

[@VivekSingh-nl6hs]

Dude .. the rotor isnt made up of sticky surface to have dirt/ girm to stick on it. Yes rust patches will appear if you park the vehicle for longer duration and you have humid weather.

[@omeshyadav]

So you want that we ride it and clean it completely everytime we put it on stand. Its about quality of disc they are using .

[@barryobrien1890]

I suppose Ola:s home delivery coffee shop may be better. With regen braking you should get much longer service on your brakes. There must be an issue with the self adjusters that is adding drag on the brakes and reducing your range. I have heard Ather is making money on service. May be like printers where they subsidize the box and rob you on the ink. May want to learn to make your own coffee. I prefer the ola model which says no service, and just part maintenance which are monitored in the bike like belt and pads. They need to add pad warning clips that whine when the pads are close to done to save the disk. You were totally ripped off. I think they assume if you can afford 1.5lac then you will pay for service even if they do nothing. An ev should not need any service. Brake pads and belts are consumables and should always be in stock.

[@parthpandya5631]

It's better to have drum brake no one will drive greater than 50 in city as there is legal limit in city so no need for disk brake.

[@evthink]

Ather started dealership model where dealers will make money from servicing. Initially they didn't have this model but later they started it to expand to multiple cities. Ola is following no dealership model, hopefully they provide better service and don't treat services and spares as money making division.

Yes I do agree the service is very bad. My scooter's boot lamp had stopped working the next day I bought the scooter and I went to service center a week after to rectify the issue. It was a two minute work to check weather there was a loose connection or something else. But before even looking at it..they said there is no stock of boot lamps in center and come next week..the guy asked me to take a video of the light as not working and send on WhatsApp and I should remind him to get the stock on WhatsApp it seems..lol..I even reminded him but he just seen zoned my message. And I had to visit three times to get that light changed...even at the time they changed it. they were saying to drop the scooter when I went on Saturday and said it will be delivered on Monday. I insisted them to check the thing first and talk...then they said 4 hrs time...but I just waited there and it was done in less than 10 mins....they just had to remove couple of screws for boot storage and replace the lamp..and I had visit 3 times for it. And all the time I was there. I was hearing the break pad conversation with every customer and the bill. I think there is something fishy about the breakpad and service.

Wtf are u worried about just use your legs to brake 🤣🤣

[@pradeeprathimusical]

I don't think there will be any major improvement until companies like Hero Motor Corp and Honda come into the EV market.

[@karthikdevanahalli]

Hero has invested in Ather. Nevertheless VIDA is here as you wished.

[@Asbcdefghijklm]

That caliper looks like same as tvs jupitar's. So you can try them if you want to experiment with the break pads

[@Akshay-vq1uv]

Much needed . Please make more Ather experience videos

[@ScooterNinja]

It is still too early for EV to be budget friendly, They say that you will save money as no fuel is required,, but you have already paid it in terms of onroad price and cost of service due in future.

[@KirtirajSolanki23]

I have hero optima ER (Dual Battery) since last 3 years. i ride my EV for 12,000+km. i done 3 services and total cost is 650rs . i know there is no comparision of ather to hero optima but i am very happy with my EV. it is low speed EV but i have dual battery which are removable and 100km+ range. Thanks man for your service review.

[@PradeeponWheels]

Thank you for the update about hero optima

[@MOHAMMED-gi2uh]

I also bought optima lx recently, very nice scooter even if it is low speed

Thanks for the service review... Thats 50 paisa per km running cost just for break pads... Thats just crazy... Are we gona pay what we save on fuel on service 🤔🤔

My fz (Oe which came with the vehicle) pads are on 45K+ and still good. I had one change on my 1999 CBZ at 60K and didn't need another until I sold it around 120K... In both cases the discs were in perfect condition (the cbz's was a thinner than it normally should be)

[@SANGUEKARAKSHAY]

5k brake pads won't wore out, it's of poor quality. I have honda aviator disk and it's brake pads last somewhere around 25k kms and now @40k haven't had to change the disk rotar. U can resurface the plate on lathe and use it. Also it being nissin calliper u should get the brake pads on local shops.

[@puneetlv]

Thanks bro... You made me to take the right decision to buy Bajaj Platina 110 H. I was little skeptical with the final decision. After seeing the experience you had in Bangaluru where Ather has lot of service stations, no way I would risk myself by buying Ather here in Erode, where nearby service station is more than 100 kms.

I dont know about bangalore , but in Tier 2 cities , we have very faith ful chota mechanics, we can approach them for simple things like brake problems and other If you feel issue with only motor, then go to Ather If Ather says warranty will not be valid, if we service outside , the kick out the Ather from your buying list

[@ktm7554]

Maybe this is why Ola decided to cut off power to motor when brake is applied!

First of all, thank you for showing this transperancy with us, and secondly i just want to share you that, i drove an Ather before, and it really performs well in every aspect, which led me to purchase one very soon. But after this video i am a bit disappointed with Ather! Soo, I need your opinion on this, shall i pay 1.35 for 450x ? Or not [in a rush to buy a 2 wheeler].

[@PradeeponWheels]

If ather is fitting your requirements perfectly then go for it bcs it's a tricky question to answer bcs idk what OLA have in store for us , what's the condition of the bike and how the service gonna be , end of the day go with what ur heart says bro
