thank you Ather best scooter yo make it

[@aditya.k.kochhar]

Hi Tarun, if you or your team is reading this, please look into enclosed reverse leaning trikes. Like the AKO Trike. A product like that is very much needed in the Indian market. It has environmental protection, improved safety over bikes, and more stable than bikes. More importantly, cars are getting expensive, and after COVID, not everyone is comfortable with public transport or riding a two wheeler. Thus, there is a need for a weather protected 2 seater vehicle within 3-5 lakh rupees range for middle and upper middle class office goers. This is a much needed vehicle category, which no one significant is making in the Indian market.

[@TheNeonShoww]

I Hope this insightful comment would be noticed by Tarun, Thank you for your valuable comment.

[@bondnikunj]

I am confident that in next 3-5 yrs batteries wont die like ever til the lifetime of vehicle. Lfp batteries even now r close to lasting 20+ yrs in a car. Soon we will hit insane digits like 50+ yrs

[@Akki45628]

Once again a great episode! The quality of content and production value has gone up so much compared to before... love it :D

[@TheNeonShoww]

Thank you for your kind words and glad you liked the episode so much!

[@dipakpawar3183]

What about simple dot one energy 👇❤

[@rahulbhosale5136]

Ather is good product, but still need to improve, I’m using from 2023 January, I feel ABS is required because of small tyres 🛞 in the vehicle need to control 60-50 kmph on wet road condition. Also company PDI department need to improve. I face steering handle miss alignment until last week not solved by workshop, I raised complaint from first week and visited more then once as per my convenience time.also I Hurd many complaints while visiting workshop from new owners, I hope they will improve.

[@willywonka89976]

[@rohitvarma1332]

[@TheNeonShoww]

[@phoenixry1761]

What about ultraviolet f77?

[@pratyushpattnaik2960]

hey, would love to know what you think about Hop Electric??

[@vedantnipane2268]

This podcast was incredible. As a hardware lover and enthusiast, this one had many learnings. Bring more hardware company founders. Great work. And Ather, we love you!!!

[@TheNeonShoww]

Really appreciate the kind words and this is what keeps us going so thank you once again!

[@haridasification]

Well, using Ather 450x gen 3 from October 2022, belt is cracking up so i think the quality is not up to the mark as previous Gen 2 belt was very durable upto 25k, mine is already cracking up so Ather needs to concentrate on service and spare parts cost effectiveness

[@i_jetlag]

All I see you do is to complain in every comment section that has anything to do with Ather.

[@govindpathakwelcomeu]

I am a product ather owner

[@immigrantlife1089]

Is this company making a profit?

[@omebpgc]

Is Ather planning to get into robotics? There is a lot of potential for robotics in the next 10-20 years.

[@TheNeonShoww]

Maybe we can ask about it in the future episode if he is ready to come on board! Until then stay tuned!

[@CUTPOST]

"In 2018, ather 450 was the fastest accelerating scooter" - Tarun "In 2023, ather has the fastest breaking belts in any scooter" - customers 😂

[@brijesh7]

Electric scooter can never be primary vehicle period.

[@TheNeonShoww]

Appreciate your thoughts on the topic! Thank you for tuning in!

[@pruthvikarigiri]

Such a stupid thing to say when nobody knows how the tech will evolve.

[@ashikismail9783]

Today we hate under quality parts like your belts...😢

[@brijesh7]

GST on petrol scooter is 30% And these utopians want to sell EVs with support of huge revadis from govt!!

[@Cool_Rider25]

Whatever interview he is giving , his sales team is totally useless , completely bad experience in ather puducherry centre. Totally bad attitude ignorant employees, no honesty in work at all . Man if they ask me to give interview, I would totally cuzz this Ceo about his in ability to manage the sales rather he just focuses on r and d and totally don't know bussiness management. Their scooter is Good, but what customer expects is customer care and proper reception both his showroom doesn't have. Totally crap experience of ather sales. I just bought a 450apex . People please don't fall in this crap experience.

[@Mrmaert]

until and unless mere liye saving nhi hai vehicle lene ka koi mtlb nhi hai. I am okay with petrol bikes. dusra charging ke natak apartment me boht jyada hai to impossible hai ye sab. Baki environment ka gyan na mai deta hu na leta hu.
