This video target normies people who don't care what's happening inside the motor and how well responsive feedback ICE machines provide. Him just selecting an old outdated Activa proves it straight, why not go for TVS Ntorq, Yamaha Aerox, Hero Xoom or even Suzuki Burgman. I will prefer using a better fun to ride, reliable and engaging machine which is proven to perform longer. You can't ride any EV right now full time on Hyper/Sport mode without having any range anxiety as they aren't refined enough to perform longer before throttling down eventually. ICE sport scooters can do anything while still being practical, I myself still love riding my 5yrs old BS4 Ntorq 125.

[@amoghbalikai994]

What most people don't factor in is the resale value of the vehicle. Yes, EVs have lower running costs. But in all scenarios, petrol scooters have a higher resale value which eventually brings down the total cost of ownership over the lifecycle. I have still not seen anybody talking about this or buying a used EV scooter. Really hoping somebody will solve this question by sharing their experience

[@pinakinayak5278]

The reason for EV not penetrated the Used vehicle market is the time duration, ev have become main stream mostly after covid (less than 3 years) and not enough market saturation is reached for spare parts yet that people buy them for spare either. When battery recycling becomes are huge market due to EVs and environmental reason, the resale value of the Ev will only rise. You can take an example from US market with tesla, currently even a 5 yr old tesla resale value is higher than then purchased value due to battery, recycling and chip they contain. moreover Ev will get continued software support which make them more stable and add new features which might increase the resale value.

[@parikshithkrishnan3001]

Even new teslas are going 20-30% below MSRP. Let alone second hand. you are talking about the post covid chip shortage era. Now the used market prices are plummeting like crazy. And about software update..hardware can only support for a certain amount of years same like mobile. After that the company will stop giving updates just like our mobile phones. Just consider the ev as a big mobile phone. Ola will stop giving updates to gen1 scooter in coming years obviously same as motorola stops giving updates after some years Newer ev technologies will be released in upcoming years. So the old ones will be left behind. So you have to upgrade to the newer model to enjoy more updates. Imagine buying a 2016 Tesla model 3☠️

[@pinakinayak5278]

@@parikshithkrishnan3001 The reason that current tesla are selling lower than before is part chip shortage and part goverment rebates, My EV scooter costed 1.1 lac on road with rebate of fame 2 and no state subsidy but if i include state subsidy of let say delhi it would cost me around 90K on road which is almost same as a petrol scooter. Since then the fame subsidy is reduced and very soon it will be gone so does state rebates , I renewed my insurance and the new IDV max for my vehicle was 1.4 lac in just 1 and 1/2 yr. The same goes for earlier tesla where in california they had heavy state rebates which one doesnt add when calculating the resale value, if one adds that most tesla are second going for the same price as new one. Poeple may not buy a 2016 tesla because its 8 yrs old but most are still getting 2020 or 2021 model still. Moroever with poluution norms getting stricter anyway any vehicle older than 10-15 yrs will become inoperable in most countries. Secondly when the market was new with a lot of gov help they could put better hardware and charge less from customer , with now lesser subsidy they are cutting in hardware too both ola , ather have done that with inferior electronics. with upgrades which are still laughable at best. (Ola replacing a 720p screen with 480p screen and ather going from 1 gb ram to 2 gb ram in 6 yrs). Newer technology will definetly come but most car manufacturer are making theoir current Ev with hardware which should support 5-8 yr into their future. even phones which sees a rapid upgrade cycle of at max 2-3 yrs, has now has started giving updates for 5 yrs and in some cases like pixel 7 yrs software updates. The progress in tech is slowing down with each year getting marginal updates that even big company like apple make major upgrade only after 3 product cycles at best.

[@debarghyachattopadhyay2614]

The solution is there but in a different form , if you ride 50km in a day by 3 to 3.5 years you save enough money on petrol to buy a battery or a new ev . Assuming the price of petrol stays the same . So when somebody goes for resale of ICE scooter they get a good value that is used to buy a new vehicle in most cases. In ev you save that money by not buying petrol

[@sahastradhara]

Petrol scooters have higher resale value because there are too many of them, with adoption of EVs within 5 to 6 years their resale value will also improve. So yes if ur planning to sell ur scooter within 4 to 5 years then ice vehicle is recommended

[@pulkitgupta270]

TVS's service program doesn't extend to EVs, at least in my city. Also, the price for that scooter is ridiculous. In no way anyone should look for THAT when Ola and Ather exist with good quality.

I'm unsure if the people who claim that EVs have issues like battery replacement and infrastructure have even tried to explore EVs, just a little. If they did, they'd know they come with a replacement warranty and infrastructure is getting better by the day. Especially in big cities, while smaller cities might take a little longer for the charging infrastructure to expand. You honestly won't need it for the day to day. Cuz daily charging needs are easily met using the charger at home. In states like Maharashtra, you've got a pretty good network of chargers that you can even travel outside city limits to other cities and places.

This confused me even more! EV scooter has no resale value hence buying it as secondary scooter makes no sense at least at this point of time. Also scary battery failure stories are stopping me from investment. EV are good only if you travels A LOT!!! For someone like me who's monthly running on 2 wheeler is not even 500kms EV makes no sense.

[@Asifkabeer]

Don't buy a bike based on a tech review. Rely on auto reviewers. You are buying it to go from one place to another. Not listen to songs

[@prince1995moh]

9:07 after warranty what will people do with their battery. and ic scooter can still provide u the same mileage and performance even after warranty period . my first scooter i used for 14 yrs and if i buy an electric scooter for the same price it won't survive at the same time with the battery and efficiency . battery replacement is expensive.

[@diysai]

Electric if- 1st 2 wheeler or Daily use of more than 20km or Solar panel is installed at home or Only charging at home Petrol if- Already own a 2 wheeler Not using daily living in a remote location For outstation trips My 16 year old bike still gives me at least 60kmpl and runs smoothly. I spend barely 2000 a year on petrol. No point getting an electric other than to enjoy the feel.

[@SagarSharma-sv2bj]

For all those mentioning sponsored, I'll suggest watch this from a objective lens. It answers very serious question of even considering an EV in the first place, pros and cons etc. I have lots of questions and resistance to buy EV vehicle, but this can a step in the direction where one can atleast decide what their next 2 wheeler can be.

[@hasmithechamp1882]

But in comparison to ola activa is more liable and can last long than ola

[@akshaykoreunofficial5536]

Electric scooter also needs service or maintenance man, talk things based on reality, do not make videos in chill mode. Reality matters, don't you ever calculated battery degradation after 2 to 4 years, petrol scooter can go upto 15 years man

[@pavankalyanav6995]

I'm using Ather 450S it is running flawless only cons I would say is charging time it takes almost 8-8.30 hr for 0 to 100. The range I'm getting is 85-88. Ride quality handling is just superb but suspension is slightly on stiffer side anyone who is planning for ev my recommendation is go with Ather

[@vyommodi811]

Activa is serviced once a year or max 2 times a year if it's really old. You falsely said it need to be serviced every 3 months, which is not true. In fact it can be true for Ola considering their terrible qc and after sales service. Moreover the battery costs need to factored in as well, the battery packs are damn expensive to replace after warranty, so might be poaaible all the savings you made in running cost will be equivalent to the battery cost

[@estar1277]

Thers a video online of a customer putting his electric scooter on fire becoz he was fed up with it being non-functioning and the poor customer service.

[@chandraprasad3211]

I think there is no good scooty left in India which is under 1 lakh, this guy is lying on price like we are all fools watching him!

[@ashishmishra5486]

What about the 1. Time -- where activa need fuel ev takes time to get charged 2. Malfunction -- as for activa any issue can be resolved in local market, cheap, fast (subjective). But same cannot be said for EV 3. Resale value -- as of now petrol gives better thought it will be equal with time. As for - Features, cost - EV seems quite economical

[@SapphireTvYt]

He said good build quality and shows us small accident tearing off side panel. What should i believe?

[@ravikanchila3069]

Two things to note before buying Ola 1. I did not get State subsidy as when I registered for subsidy it just says not available for this number ( not getting any help from ola service or anywhere so 20K gone) 2. Ride on Ola is not good for traffic, when you break the Ola and try to speed it's just not go and pause for 1 or half second it's not comfortable at all Baki sab thik he

[@praveenn4862]

It would have been much better if you had covered battery replacement cost under warranty and without warranty. That cost also needs to be considered when we are comparing ICE with EV to find out average cost per km

[@on-offnote]

Is this sponsored because for real....why having so old outfated model petrol scooter Fuel injected engines dont have a cold start so no kicking each day anymore ...there are side stand sensor avaliable on petrol ones and there are digital screen available there also Hild hold we have that hand brake sort of lever to hold brakes automatically since ages now Like what the hell are you doing Claiming to be techy and dont even know what's out there in market

[@joshuainchrist777]

Ev scooters have plastic / fiber glass body while Active has a 80 percent metal body . And coming to the battery replacement , the batteries cost for a new batt is 80-90K excluding gst . You may save on fuel but you will end spending on a new battery after 8 years . Should an Ev break down it always has to be towed to the service center for repairs factor that cost in.

[@entertainmentwithindian69]

just wait for 2-3 years more EV CAN CHANGE SOMETHING 5 TIMES BETTER DON'T BUY IT NOW

[@xPikaplayzz]

And about the reliability, my area faced severe water logging and floods 6 months ago. My old activa 125 was affected but since the parts are easily available, the scooter was fixed easily at a good cost. Ola and ather on the other hand if get affected by the water will cost a lot more and will be harder to fix.

[@alenjohnson2358]

For those who r saying its a sponsored video. The youtuber has to mention it in the video if it was sponsored. Not because of ethics but because youtubes policies. Also they showed olas poor build quality and delay in parts replacement. If it was a sponsored video they are very unlikely to show such stuff.

[@aniketchauhan7655]

I should add that only OLA scooters are software dependent and not Ather scooters as it has real keys for locking-unlocking and a safety switch for riding it and it is as reliable as it an regular scooter. Also fit & finish of Ather scooters with reliability is the highest among electric scooters. The EV's payback the investments over-time as you ride it (in the form of savings on fuel, engine-oil, air-filter, spark plugs, etc) and has very steady performance over-time(not talking about the battery but it's acceleration and speed) and ride feel even with multiple people with different riding styles. You should get yourself an EV 2wheeler if your daily commutes are long enough to break-even within 6-7 years or atleast the replace the battery after 6-7 years or when-ever the warranty of the battery expires plus 1 year.

[@Akshayysk]

I have been using another for the last 8 months its just work its fast handling is as good as my duke 390

[@lukeshpraveen4763]

Covered most of the topics man Its really helpful for lot of unknowns or even who are thinking to buy Great 👏🏻

[@akashkedia4618]

Your content delivery is superb. Enjoyed every bit of the video. More importantly, the review/ comparison is very practical and helpful for all. Thanks for your genuine efforts. EVs are continuously developing, advancing and proving themselves far far better than ICE vehicles. The added eco friendly aspect makes them much needed essentials for all of us. ❤

[@sudhanshukulkarni3770]

EV === powerBank!!!!!!!!!!!! A thing to remember to build one battery pack you pollute as much as an ICE bike would do in 10 years of running. Also why you guys promote ev's even though you know that if something happens to the battery you have to replace the entire kit which would cost 80% of the price of the bike and on the other hand for ICE vehicles with their robust build the costs are marginally better.

[@dr_sriraviteja]

Range Anxiety, Software Bugs, Delicate plastics & expensive battery trumps every advantage EVs have over ICEs for me

[@techrama9642]

Next video request:- 1. How much it cost battery replacement and what are terms and conditions. 2.why it can't be hacked. 3.can we repair it??

[@anindochatterjee2075]

Biggest issue with e-scooter at the current time is lack of charging station networks (including high charging time) and not good resale value.

[@siddharthkshirsagar5159]

You haven’t discussed about the long term ownership cost of electric scooters, which includes battery replacement after approx 8 years or so. And that is a big cost. So in the long run, an EV is more expensive than a petrol vehicle (including its cost of service and fuel). Think about it.

[@Starlord3d3]

So if your phone battery dies then scooter will not start?

[@anujartt]

Are you really saying taking out a phone, opening an app and turning the scooter on is faster than a simple key knob? Like fr?

[@er404]

EV is a secondary vehicle. Aftersales service is not that good in Ather, parts availability is a big issue. My ather's steering ball bearing cone set has gone bad, and it costs 4000/- pretty expensive I'd say.

[@umeransari509]

Thanks for easy to understand clear cut info bro😁

[@tanya25m]

Nice video! Good to see your channel covering more than just phones. Personally, ev still needs to mature so I don't see myself buying one for the next 5 years. After that, definitely planning to make the switch.

[@AJ4075]

Three things... First even the latest Ntorq and the Dio get the side stand warning (where the engines don't start till u put up the stand) secondly idk bout other scooters but the Dio doesn't get the kickstart because the new scooters don't need kickstart. Third... New scooters are getting keyless entry like cars where u just unlock thru the key and u can start the scooter without putting it in.(it uses proximity sensor )
