  • Опубліковано 3 лип 2024
  • We met brothers Rahul and Mehul, who are owners of the Ather 450X and Bajaj Chetak Electric Scooters. They give an in-depth comparison of the Ather 450X and Chetak and also speak about the positives and negatives.
    हम भाइयों राहुल और मेहुल से मिले, जो एथर 450X और बजाज चेतक इलेक्ट्रिक स्कूटर के मालिक हैं। वे एथर 450X और चेतक की गहराई से तुलना करते हैं और सकारात्मक और नकारात्मक के बारे में भी बोलते हैं।

    I regret buying Chetak only because they have stopped app support for the first generation owners. Even though everything else of the scooter is excellent, dropping app support for your early buyers is plain cheating and unacceptable!

    • @shrey220
      @shrey220 Рік тому +10

      @@sameerdeshpande6360 I was one of the first customers of model 2403 right when it was launched. They did not charge me anything for app usage for 1.5 years. But now suddenly the app stopped working and I was told that another Chetak app runs only for model 2413. Its very shameful that a company like Bajaj does not even give an option and abruptly does this to its initial customers.

    • @sameerdeshpande6360
      @sameerdeshpande6360 Рік тому +3

      You said it right. In my case they asked 5000 Rs extra for app so i didn't buy it.

    • @rarams88
      @rarams88 Рік тому +1

      Honestly speaking, chetak 2403 (specifically) was never meant to be a connected scooter.
      Bajaj wanted to just add the feature, for more of a brochure addon ,rather than real application of the system.

    *One of the most comprehensive & practical review I have ever seen* Hats of to the twins 👍👍👍
    Shows how much improvement can be done... Ather is in the business since 10 yrs and Bajaj over a few decades... yet they cannot cover these shortcomings.
    *Ather is NOT an ECONOMICAL scooter* ... It is good only for the people *who ride over 15,000kms per year.* Below that it is less economical than a petrol scooter.
    A rich guy can afford Ather... then why will he buy Ather? He will buy Bajaj Pulsar or Enfield he can afford it even if petrol price goes higher.
    *Ather doesn't make economic sense for riders below 15,000km/yr*
    *I don't mind if Ather costs 3lakhs but the shit & chindi MANDATORY subscription (service+connectivity) is not needed.*
    They say it's optional... It's NOT... It's not possible to use the vehicle to its potential... So how come it's optional.
    If Tata sells you optional service charges you get to drive the vehicle as it is.
    *With Ather you pay for full option and get half a vehicle unless you take subscription. WHAT UTTER NONSENSE*

    Bajaj should increase the range 150-160km.provide a full size helmet storage. Front suspension should be better.otherwise it is a good vehicle quality wise. And a bit costly to the product they give.

    I am an Ola Electric owner. I had test ridden bikes like Ather, Chetak, Ola, Icube TVS.
    My personal opinion after riding all of them is to Buy OLA electric.
    looking at the flaws and benefits of every bike. OLA beats all of them in terms of Range, Space, technology, appearance, and Performance.
    Ola is highly convenient bike.
    Dont buy Ather because its subscription plan is total waste. In Ola there's no subscription plan.
    DOnt buy chetak it is too expensive and underperforms.
    TVS iCube is the second in line after ola if anybody wishes a bike worth money.
    GOod Luck to all.

    Is the Ather 450X shown in this video a Gen 2 or Gen 3?

    My client purchased a electric scooter worth 30000, where as Bajaj Chetak cost Rs 150000, huge difference. Please make a video showing difference. One main point you mentioned is suspension. Another point I found that, if a low cost electric scooter batteries fully discharge, battery has to be send to company, otherwise, it will not charge.

    What about battery replacement after 3 years, ev 2 wheelers have 2 or 3 batteries & it cost around 40- 45000/-

    I don't see any reason to buy an e scooter apart from saving money. And that too strictly when your daily run is more than 50-60 kms at least.
