EV companies should come together and bring a uniform charging standard. This will solve a lot of issues and doubts a consumer have when buying EV vehicles for the first time. Particularly, for those who live in small rented where the owners don't allow them charge.

[@ScavengerSexy]

I guess speaking from the perspective of an Ather Apex's owner you wouldn't really want to wait behind a long line of random brand scooters with very slow charging times at your brand's fast charging station. Since, you paid a premium for the product you'd expect the infra to cater to you alone. Your argument makes sense if other charging stations pop up like from companies that are only in the EV charging business and they keep multiple charger types for different manufacturers like different phones have different charging ports so we buy different cables.. Happy to hear your thoughts.

[@commieTerminator]

CCS2 already existed and is still used by 4 and 3 wheelers. The moron govt doesn't have the balls to make it mandatory for every EV just like how EU mandates strict common standards

[@OkokayokOk]

Yes true....

[@varun]

Ather has already formed a partnership with Hero for charging infrastructure.

[@commieTerminator]

Govt itself should've mandated CCS2 just like how the EU did but sadly, our bureaucrats are technically illiterate. Why have separate ports for 4, 3 and 2 wheelers? An EV charger should be able to charge just any vehicle

[@jarvisp3814]

The only reason I bought Ather over Ola 2 years back was REALIABILITY. Even after driving 18k kms..the only parts replaced are brake pads.. that's it. Everytime you full throttle it on highway, you can feel the fit & finish of the product. Ola was 20k cheaper but still went with Ather and since then no regrets. Proud ather owner 😎

[@harikrishnankavungal7619]

So, here’s the deal: I rode my Ola scooter for 12,000 kms, dealing with a bunch of software bugs along the way, but nothing too serious. Then, out of nowhere, the suspension gave out, and I had to get it replaced. What followed was a wild goose chase-I was sent from one service center to another, visiting five or six of them just to drop off the scooter. It took them a whole week to finally fix it. Now, I can honestly say, Ola is terrible in pretty much every way!

[@rahuljha3965]

ola is 3 year old in automotive they will going to need minimum 5-6 years at least to saturate your service requirements

[@techwiser]

@@harikrishnankavungal7619 The customer service is major issue. Bugs for the most part are manageable except for couple of times.

[@AgastyaXV]

@@techwiser btw one more thing, ola was supposed to give the gen 2 pro a upated motor (where the motor and mcu are in one unit), ola still doesnt give it the updated motor/mcu, its the same as gen 1 The power figure is also at gen 1 power levels 8.4 kw, it doesnt get 11kw. Someone can literally sue ola as its an open and close case, literally false advertisement and sales. The RC card also shows it as 11kw This is apart from their shitty tactics, like selling the scooter for 1.47 lakh and discounting it to 1.28, and keeping the price same even after subsidy got reduced by 15k this meant that ola could have sold the s1 pro gen 2 for 1.1l ex showroom while still maintaining the same profit margins as right now but they chose to extort the customers

Its 2year 7 months that i have been using my ola rode about 25k.. Its a 75-25 on satisfaction level.. I went to service center only 2 times till date.. Faced few software glitches but not major.. I ride in all types of modes every day as I commute on highway.. Best part is when i need speed i can hit 110+ and when i need range i can hit 135+ km.. The most useful feature for me is the cruise mode i use it a LOT.. And when we go on the small chapri races on the road with the other EV's and moped's, it will never let you down.. I only lost to Gen -2 ola a few times but never to any other brand till date..

[@dsquareboi]

Look, no bullshit. I completed one year with Ather and it costed me 1.75 lacs. After 1 year, if I was asked to pay 2.5 lacs, I would have paid it. Because please know the "headache" also has some value. I had ZERO headache with the Ather in the last one year. Heck, I haven't even needed to service it even once. Also, Ather ride feels so much more sturdier than any other scooter. There were times I could have met in an accident, but the ride, build and handling quality of the scooter saved me. I once made a call to a support agent and I got the help in 2 mins. Kudos! In short, Ather has got it's shit together. Period. EDIT: Ride mode for plain road riding single. Sports mode for high speed, doubles and uphill. Do this to get the best mileage. Don't ride in Eco mode thinking it will give you more mileage 🙂

[@Killjoy1204]

I bought iqube last year and drove 9000km+ and so far other than battery loosing about 2% capacity/2-3 km range, iqube has been fantastic. Not much in terms of features but works effortlessly. Only thing I would like to change is to tvs to start having charging grid like ather. Because even though given charger works with every single socket it takes quite time to charge it and we got no fast dc charging available.

[@THEVELKAN]

i have i qube and 450s. everyone says that iqube is better in build quality(by looking at both), but I ride both and I know that the ather is far better. ather is sturdy, and iqube has started giving me khat khat noise same as that comes from any old activa when you go on a bumpy road.

One major aspect of the Ather scooter that I found less appealing is the splash-back from the rear tire. On wet roads, the person sitting behind on the vehicle often gets splashed by water coming up from the back, which can be quite inconvenient.

[@aadityawith2a]

the front splash too, it covers the lower of the headlight. although i didn't notice the back splash only the front

I did extensive research and decided to go with Ather or TVS. Then Ola announced big discount and 8 years battery warrenty for their gen2 bikes. Didn't think much, booked one. Big mistake. The brand new scooter didn't start during RTO registration, they don't have spares to fix. It's been 6 months, no delivery, no refund, no response from customer care even for a legal notice. I booked the scooter as a birthday gift for my wife. Now think about my situation.Bhash is a fraud, deceiving gullible people in the name of nationalism. Beware of Ola.

As TechWiser, you should know that the range you get in Ather does not depend on the mode but how you ride it. Mode just enables power and top speed and considers that you'll ride in the max possible power and shows you the range. Try same style everyday riding in Sports or Warp you'll still get range of Ride.

[@SuganthanHarmless]

Yes, this is true, I get around 105 kms max even in sports mode.

[@SAMPATHKUMAR-zj9fz]

I have been using OLA S1 Pro since April 2023 and I ride for a total of 25,800 KMS after purchasing it and so far I haven't faced any issues apart from Suspension. If you want to have good range you should handle your scooter with care.

[@Akhil22KS]

I bought an ev scooter as well back in Dec 2021, it's called Pure EV Etrance Neo. It promised a range of 120 kms in Eco mode (mode 1) and top speed of 60kmph in the most powerful mode (mode 3). I used it primarily for commute from home to work and back. To my surprise it gave me a range of 125kms on 2 occasions with the ride varying between all 3 modes. In March or May 2022, within 3-5 months of purchase, the scooter shut off abruptly whilst a 40ft container truck was being overtaken (having done only about 40 kms after full charge). I reported the service centre and received a replacement battery after a few days. Little did I know it was just the beginning of an utterly hectic and annoying ownership experience. Fast forward to July 2023 (not that the period I skipped was trouble free but I don't have the energy to type as there were plenty lots including BMS issue, some Faraday unit replacement, etc), one fine morning at 7am I set out for work and inside 15kms the scooter shut off. Informed the ASC and I tell you they are a set of pretty funny and humorous people. They picked the call up at 10am and asked me to bring the scooter to the ASC, 13kms away, so they could check for the issue; funny isn't it. After checking they said it's some issue with the battery and it's common with most of their scooters these days and strangely as soon as it's put on charge again it starts working for another 10-15kms. So they asked to carry the charger with me wherever I go so I could charge it if need be.. pretty funny eh😂 They sent the battery to their factory in Hyderabad and several months later, in December I guess, I get a call from the factory saying my battery is fixed and have to pay Rs 20k for the battery or they have a battery exchange offer running in which I could pay Rs 20k and get the new battery.. funny again ehh😂. All this for a battery (less than 2 yrs old) that already had 3 yrs of warranty+ additional 2yrs that I paid for. When asked about the warranty they say "the warranty is void as I hadn't serviced the scooter on time as per their service records". "Hold hold..I don't know about your records but I have a service records book in which your dealer certifies that I have completed every single service on time. So, whatever is being done to my battery I want them all covered under warranty and I'm not paying your company another penny". Here I am now in August 2024 waiting for a favorable judgement from the Consumer Court after filing a case in Feb earlier this year.

Overall a nice experience for me too, but I am facing some problems with charging in the grid, after the new update it's not a simple plug and play, it's keeping showing not charging and having to plug and unplug multiple times to get it start charging, and also facing some issues while unplugging also, it keeps stuck for some time.

@@SiD-ve6zy For me personally, just 132k and it's great, it does 90% of what a 450X can do for way less $$$. You would miss on a touch screen (do you really need it? it's surely better for navigation though) and slightly lesser range due to a smaller battery size, but thats about it.

Ola costs less, has more features, more range and bigger motor while still costs less than Ather. Ather has reliability but they are expensive, also they sell through third party dealers who force battery pro subscription and try to extract extra money during service. If only Ola could get their service network sorted, they'll become Maruti of EV two wheelers. Plus their own cell manufacturing will give them even more cost advantage.

Consumers should look at what company and product gives them the best VFM. Ather has so many years of R&D experience, which is why they have comparatively better reliability let Ola take their time to get things sorted. Maine khud EV nahi liya, but test ride me dikhta h Ola ki power. Agar service theek hui to Ola lunga, warna jo best VFM hoga woh lunga.

As a proud Ather owner since 1.5 years, Ather never disappoints me. My friend bought and Ola S1 Pro at same time and he is cursing himself for that decision, because of buggy software, unavailability of spares and piss poor customer service. Here's an incident, he once went to customer service center for a suspension issue and people over their said that they can repair but it will take atleast 2 weeks and the best way out it to ride the scooter with it's existing bad suspension. I then decided "NEVER USE anything has OLA in its name". Coming to Ather, everyone who tried my scooter were just 🤯 with the experience and I would recommend it to anyone with a second thought. It's reliability is top notch. Period. It so happened that once I didn't use scooter for more than a month and battery went to 0, but it started charging immediately after I plugged it in. The nearest competitor to Ather is TVS iQube but it still has to catch-up with Ather in terms of performance and features. The minor issue I have is the price for servicing. Although I never had to go to service center and pay out of pocket, I heards it's expensive even if we opt for servicing once a year.

[@yogeshhh5519]

Proud Ather owner since 2 years. The scooter is just amazing, it's built is sturdy, way more reliable than any other electric scooter out there and I didn't even need much servicing. It costed me around 1.5 lacs but it's totally worth the money. It's hands down the best electric scooter out there.

[@harshmehta9]

Ather is hands down the best EV scooter in the country at least, if not the world. I would recommend people to pay the premium since it is a long term investment. I guarantee it will be worth it. However a few minor cons to note: 1) Parking is a little challenging in tight spaces. The scooter leans a lot. Even the parking stand feels wobbly, but no issues so far. 2) The range shown on the dashboard is accurate. But if you ride rashly, the range goes down significantly. 3) If you plan on purchasing 450s, the arrow navigation via MapMyIndia is a hit and miss. It works only 60-70% of the times and doesn't show the shortest route most of the times. 4) If you have aged parents or females who sit on the back with both their legs on one side, it may cause an issue. My mom hates the backseat because she feels that the seat is a way too elevated and the bar at the backseat for support is horizontal and difficult to hold. 5) Tall riders may find an issue with lack of leg space. The handle gets in your way while turning.

Owning my Ather 450x for about 8-9 months around 9000km+ . The only complaint I have is the belt making a lot of noise after the rainy season. Also because the roads on the way home are horrible the belt gets too dirty. It'll be good again once I get it serviced but I think after the rainy season the service centre is busier than usual. Else, Ather is way better EV than any other EV on the market. 100% reliable.

I have been using 450s (with Pro Pack) for six months and it is the best decision I made while upgrading from a 14 year old Honda CB Unicorn. Range is point blank accurate. Looks premium, has great Ride and handling and I have used Sports mode only once! Anyday better than OLA.

[@RSK1607]

Driving ola from the last 2.5 years... Drive around 23,000 km....bugs are there, sometimes the screen does not work, when we enter the number key to unlock it's not responsive. We have not faced any major issues till date. The scooter is working fine, no problem at all..

[@techwiser]

@@RSK1607 OLA definitely holds its own with solid range and performance. 💪 The bugs and customer service could be better, but overall, it’s not a bad choice at all!

[@HarshaVardhan-g4l]

I am using S1 pro from past 18 months (20k kms) i got two major issues one is charger got damaged and they replaced within 2 hours and rear suspension was changed and here they created problem to me saying parts are not available but once it is available they replaced it an hour. The only problem about the company is number of servicemens in the workshop and their behaviour. Luckily the service person in my city is a nice guy so i dont have any issues regarding service. If the company increases its workers then most of the problems will be solved. Apart from this i am very much satisfied with my scooter regarding performance, power, features, looks etc., Ola sold more than 1 million scooters till now and not all the 1 million scooters are seeing outside the showrooms you need to think about this too.

[@prasannapatwardhan5053]

Great video!!!❤❤ Just wanted to add a point, the build quality of the Ola scooter just felt cheaper and didn't instill confidence whereas I found Ather's build quality to be pretty good

[@richardphilip2967]

I've been riding an Ola S1 X+ for the last 8 months as my daily driver and have covered over 7,000 km so far. Overall, I don't have much complaints. The range is quite good-about 90 km in Normal mode, and Eco mode gives me up to 120 km, or a lil less. There are some software bugs here and there, but nothing major. I also had an accident in between, but the service centre replaced the parts within 2-3 days. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but for the price of 1 lakh, it's been a pretty solid purchase so far.

[@karriprakash6543]

Everything goes well with Ather towards pricing unless we came to know all features are add-ons through propack and it costs 15k and after 3 years need to recharge esim for each year to encash the features Ladies footrest: 2k Safety Guard also costs you more And all other accessories are add-ons 👏 Can someone comment down regarding OLA electric just want to save some money as I don't have enough time to get delivery, Ather Rizta model having around 1month time to get delivered. I was expecting the Rizta S model but all the dealers conveyed the same words Rizta S manufacturing not yet started 🥴🥴🥴

Im ridding Aether for 5 months now. I only had an issue where bike suddenly stopped and late responding to the button actions and speed is not crossing 27KM/HR. I had to visit service center to fix it. Unfortunately i can not compare both as i did not had an opportunity to try an ola but what i can say is the agility, convenience, practicality and design make me go for an aether and im fully satisfied with it. I would strongly recommend this EV.

Ather is extremely reliable vehicle...I don't have to commute, but I do a lot of nature off roading and stuffs, if it was unreliable or glitchy, I won't just have inconvenience, I would be in mortal danger literally in jungles infested with elephants and leopards...But, with Ather I take it in core areas without disturbing anyone and the trust that I will have no issues...have been using it since 3 years without any issue. completed 20K kms.

[@Shashwata]

I paid 1.46 lakhs for Ola as I did a test drive, it was fun to ride, quite rugged but before the scooter gets dispatched I have to cancel it (No problem with the scooter itself) but the service centre changed to only showroom/experience centre, They will sell scooter but not service it and they have moved their service centre to 120 km from my home, which makes no sense, if anything goes wrong, the ola don't even have that much *TRUE* range to go to the service centre; And I can't see my bike loaded on a truck and go to service centre; And for Ather, thing is same, Only experience centre is available, service center in 120kms away. so thought for TVS iQube but problem is range; so then didn't thought that much; Ola refunded the money without any hassle and then went to TVS showroom; grabbed a Jupiter 125 on the Raksha Bandhan. Still Petrol is reliable for me.

[@NAVODAYAELECTRONICSsince1970]

This comment is dedicated for Ola owners 1. The range as it is said in the video Ola had less accuracy in it. But according to the Sankalp in the move OS 5 update it will be resolved. 4. As it is mentioned in Video, the Ola had many bugs, yes, I agree, but Ola had given the solution to reboot. This thing was not at all mentioned in the video, and this is the instant instant solution for any bugs and issues with software and handle Lock and other issues. 5. As it is mentioned in the video, the Service Centre of the Ola is not good, but it’s not hundred percent true. Service Centre is maybe bad, but Service Centre near me was good. Had a small issue with my Ola scooter on the Service Centre was far away from my town. They sent the Of the employee to solve my issue. These are the things I felt wrong with this video, and the other things was right, which he was told with Ola. As it is mentioned in the Sankalp after move OS 5 update, the issues like bugs will be resolved, and some AI features will come for Ola and I’m really excited ! For move is 5 update

I own an Ather 450x gen 4 and it is probably the best transition from an ICE scooter one can get! My father uses it occasionally and he can ride the whole way not once touching the screen like a traditional scooter and for someone like him in the mid 50s thats the best way to give them confidence "Ride it like your activa, here's the key" was what I told him the first time he wanted to try it and you can see how relieved he was. Not one issue so far (finger's crossed) and like mentioned in the video, the staff is very friendly and genuinely want to help you if you have any requests.

[@thehyperlapse6011]

In my opinion, skip both for now. Went for a 250cc bike on heavy discounts instead of an ev scooter. The experience has been flawless, only been to service centre for regular service in the 3 years that I have had it. In fact during this time I had to help two people who owned an ather. One of my friends got stuck when his athers belt broke and the other one met with an accident because ather does not have abs.

I have been using Ather 450x since 18 months, not faced any major challenges apart from screen goes blank very rarely, even though the scoot will run without any hassles. One major thing is it could have a bit more range in sports mode upto 100km this can do wonders. Because i tried and tested in all modes only sports & warp are returning true dashboard range and vehicles runs on this modes like a glider in the sky, especially when you hit warp that is next to extraordinary level of pickup easily could beat up any 250cc in drag race. My overall experience is satisfactory with SVC's nothing issues so far. Till date it costed me only 2600/- for 2nd service and brake pads change. Seems back tyres of this scooter worns so fast my one has just run 10k and back tyre yet to worn out soon in another 1000km.

[@Nithinyadavg]

The Ather 450X was an unexpected purchase, but it really changed my perspective on EV bikes and scooters forever. In my home, we have two scooters: a TVS Ntorq and the Ather. Most of the time, my father uses the scooters for getting water and handling daily chores, while my brother uses them for similar tasks. I usually drive a 4-wheeler to college and for work, and I don't go out much when I'm home. When I do, my brother usually rides the scooters, and I sit in the back. However, for the past two months, I've been using the Ather to handle all the household errands. It's a great option because we don’t need to refuel it at all. Over the course of a week, the scooter runs about 250 km or less, even with my brother taking it to college twice a day. It’s definitely more economical!

I think the Service centre issue of Ather is only in Noida. I am owning an Ather 450x Gen 2 for 2 years and my Service Centre experience was amazing. They had every spare required. I bought the frunk right on spot and it only took 20 min to install. So, I can easily say that Ather has an amazing Service Centre in my area. (Speaking in Trichy, TamilNadu). I met the Ather co-founder Swapnil Jain and I found out that the office environment is just amazing and cool. I think Ather worked amazingly for me. Highly recommend it.

And when we have to apply the breaks then we get to know there's nothing better than Ather in handling the scooter while applying breaks. I highly recommend Ather

[@0xRavenspar]

I have owned an Ather 450, yes the OG (gen 1) since 2020 and it's amazing. It's very reliable and I didn't have any major issues till now. The service was also pretty great here in Bangalore. But the range on the ather which used to give on my daily commute has decreased (like 5%), so point to any future ev buyers out there keep in mind that the battery does degrade and get more range when buying.
