Nice review
PowerDrift - Done and dusted 😎
I was waiting till 10😪
This time I was prepared but looks like m never gonna win any contest by PD😆
The sound of the scooter 😂😂
Still cheaper than iPhone... 😂 😂 😂
Its not india's tesla, its world's Ather 450
Better investment than iPhone
Operation cost for a year
Electric - 700 X 12 =8400
Petrol - 5000 X 12 = 60000
Maintainance cost for a year
Electric - 30,000 for batteries
( not revealed yet by company, just an estimate)
Petrol - 12,000 for service
Total annual cost estimate
Electric - 38400
Petrol - 72000
Difference could be roughly around 30,000/year
It is a great deal to switch to electric. 👍
It gets on my nerves when people compare original stuff to already established products in the market, like this scooter being compared to Tesla, different leagues, vast difference in budget. Bring that money over and look what we can do. It is not an "Indian Tesla", its "Ather" just Ather.
Like elon musk says
When mass production begins and tech improves,
prices will reduce
Hopefully its affordable in the coming years
We'll hope that happens soon, especially in India!
When you compare it with petrol scooter
1) they gives an average of 50 Kmpl
2) suppose price is 60000 for petrol one
3) For 10000 Km petrol scooter goona cost you
60000+(10000÷50)×80(price)
=76000 (plus service cost)
Around 80000
But for electric one
4)for every 10000 km you have to pay less than 1500
Net cost will go to at max 130,000
Market adoption will start when this kind of scooter will cost around 80000..
Damn Mathematics!
If you have a scooty providing milage of 40km which costs about 60 thousands, hardly you would ride a scooty for 6 to 7 years.Now the cost of petrol a scooty uses is not more than 2000rs for necessaries.6years which is 72months*2000rs=144000rs of petrol.+60000rs bike+10000 of services and repairs= 214000the total cost of a petroleum bike if you use it for 6 or 7 years ..........
ELECTRIC BIKE-------
Cost---1.25 lacs +
Services and repairs of 6 years 25000 approx =1.5LACS
DEDUCTIONs--------
214000-150000=64000 is the difference which you save after completion of 6 or 7 years.64000/72months=889rs you will save per month if you use ather electric bike when compared to petroleum bike.
LETS TALK ABOUT DISADVANTAGES OF ATHER ELECTRIC BIKE.
1) spare parts could cost more compared to a petroleum bike.
2)you will save hardly 900 to 1500 per month.
3)delicate body.
4)should be cautious where to park, should take care of it like a baby.risky if you park in public areas.
5)cannot be used roughly when compared to petroleum bike.
ADVANTAGES-----
1) ECO-FRIENDLY
2)OUTSTANDING AND FLAUNTING.
3)LATEST FEATURES WHICH COULD NOT BE THAT MUCH USEFUL😅
with ather you have to pay monthly 1000rs for maintenance and charging
and you would have to change the battery pack atleast once in 6-7 years which may cost between 20-30k
wasif shaik00...OMG
2 saal ke andar electric bike ki batry bhi change karne waali ho jaati hai..... aur battry iski kamm se kamm 50 hjaar ki hogi..... ..
At 9:09 i feel dentist removing cavities while doing root canal 😅
Some feedback
1. Detachable battery pack will be good as it will help people to charge the battery inside home
2. Price should be kept around 80k
3. What about post sale services
Yes it is expensive but people in the comment section are forgetting that how good it can be to commute in the city that too without contributing anything towards pollution. Once more people buy it its cost is going to reduce. People in the comment section are actually typical indian. I'm doing my graduation, once I'm on a job I'm gonna buy it Ather is Indian company its our duty to appreciate and alleviate.
Yeah... I thought the same when Reva was launched on June 5th 2000 for 1 lac, the price will be reduced in upcoming years but the price of EV2 is almost 12 lacs
Thanks a lot for the rev sounds at the end of the video!!!
Finally somebody who had the sense to do it!!!!! Thanks again!!!!!
Frankly speaking electic vehicle revolution wont happen untill Li-ion batteries are still running the show. They are expensive, less energy dense and Li mining really causes harm to environment.
We need solid state battery or sodium metal batteries with graphene to truely acheive the dream EVs
Graphine has been in the testing phase since more than a Decade. And until there is a demand for it they say it won't come into production.
People will think that this is going to be a failure scooter But.
20 Years down the line, these bikes are going to rule the market
Why are you so obsessed with Tesla? You have promoted tesla more than Ather !!
Yashwant waykole
Dude pls
I like how he dropped in the AMC for 10k/year so casually. I don't think I spent anywhere near that much even for my Duke 200, mate. Regular petrol scooters would be significantly cheaper.
Ayush Sharma Because unlike petrol motors, the AMC covers everything except tyre replacement. Which will mean brake pads, brake oil, battery service, pick up and drop cost. Not so casual after all ha?!
Thanks for the details, but still an order of magnitude more expensive, my friend. Brake pads are dirt cheap, they last for half an eternity, and brake fluid even longer. Even more so in city-riding that this scooter is designed for. For context, Honda cars (not two-wheelers, but cars) have 3-year AMC contracts in 10-15k range, inclusive of oils (but not brake-pads, pickup/dropoff).
Great work by our Desi engineers.....
But is sounds like a mixer grinder....
A job well done by them!
And as long as it plasters a smile that stretches from cheek to cheek, we don't mind how it sounds!
If it would have been cheaper than for sure it was a success. 1.25 lac for a scooter will never go in the minds of Indian Customer
The battery life and KM run on a charge will reduce drastically like any other battery product eg. Phone... What the producers of these bikes also need to inform is how many KM in full charge will be run
1. After 10000 km
2. After 25000 km
3. After 50000 km.
Am surprised no one reveals this data !
I have no problems with the price, considering that there are almost zero feul costs, extremely low majntainence costs etc. The only thing that is problematic for me is its dependence kn Aether owned charging points. There should be an option to charge it anywhere, just like a phone. Otherwise it becomes too limited.
You can charge it at home
Both Ather and Activa might cost the same in long run. Ather is initially costly while activa costs more to run and mantain. Both have good acceleration. I hope Ather releases much powerful vehicle even if it costs more. I want to ride a premium electric vehicle.
We might see that soon!
Dad : where's my phone..?
Me: gettin charged
Dad: gimme your laptop..?
Me : getting charged..
Dad : alright i gotta go out.. gimme your scooty for a min..!
Me : thats getting charged too...
Dad:👿👿👿👿
Only the problem is the charging of battery...we have to wait for hours till the completion of charging...but if that battery is installed in such a way that the passenger can easily replace simultaneously with an another same type of battery which was charged at home ( a battery charger suitable for the scooter battery can be provided at homes ) Hence a battery chamber should be provided conveniently that the passenger can easily remove the empty battery and replace with the charged one...and same time that empty battery can be kept in charging at home...The benefit is saving time...no charging at outside... !!! Only we need an extra battery and a battery charger...!!!
Why don't they made the battery removable and the charging station provide replacement battery. So we just swap the battery and don't have to wasting time waiting the battery to fully recharge. Just an opinion
muhamad fairus.. Cost more and weights more..
I mean they can making the universal type of removable battery that can be use at any type of electric vehicle. And the charging station works like gas stations that provide maybe a machine of something, that can help swapping the battery easily. So customers just pay for the power capacity that they use. Just an opinion
Check out Sun Mobility. They have a battery swap solution. It might answer your query to some extent.
@@nrmaliya thanks Nishit
Well you need to have a huge number of extra batteries and stations to make that work, which is very costly.
*1 lakh 24 thousands plus 10k annual subscription Bullet plus battery life is max 50000km naaa dude this thing not gonna work in India*
Price is pretty high
Someone would buy a 60k scooter and save 65k which could be spend on fuel, though it is good for our environment but 1.25 for a scooter which won't be reliable in raining or ruff and tuff use as well as you'll have to have a knowledge of charging points around the city!
Government should be planting electric charge at fuel stations, that'll be helpful!!
Charging point are available at google maps and in The infotainment system. And it’s water proof so yeah you can ride it durning rainy season.
Chribin Mattews you didn't get what I said bro, the way we face rain in India, flooding roads and everything, plus the points of charging can be found on Google maps but not each city have it and those who have they don't have in multiple places, what I mean is it is not easy to find a charging socket how easy it is to find a fuel pump, this all could be accepted, if the price was a bit low.
Congratulations to the producers of this bike. It is an elegant and international look bike.
I understand the creators of this bike are Indian YOUTHS!!!
Well done 👍 , Indian youths!!! Its time the bright and smart Indians put use their brains and skill in India to develop India by “producing” latest gadgets and softwares instead of developing other developed countries!!
Be proud to be an INDIAN! Create more stuffs in India and export to rest of the world!!!
want to travel 4-5 km within the city and be eco-friendly ...buy a goddamn cycle
Wolf Hunter86 well said
Idiot
Haha but your lungs will be filled with exhaust fumes and soot if you cycle in the city this seems to be a better option.
Jerry Levin well if you can invest 125000 in a scooter then you can certainly buy a mask if it is necsry.
I live in an big Industrial city and also with so many vehicls around there are only few areas where we really need the mask.
All depends on where you live.
Nice 😍 specially made in india 👌
Plz dont compare with tesla its our own product and we should work on making it better than Tesla.
That's why we always says India is a great country with innovative mind ....
Best luck sir we are looking forward to India's own no.1 electric scooter
Not practical when it comes to pricing. If the objective is to make commuting eco friendly, it has to be for masses.
If it has variable exhaust note...then it'll be rock....coz every indian wants their 100cc bike should sound like inline 4 (just kidding 😂)
Who can deny the mellow of an inline 4, but it's time we also embrace the future!
PowerDrift But there are some options like Okinawa...which is much cheaper!!
Battery is removable or not, any indian has no time to charge it for 1hr. On other hand, we prefer time 5-10 min in petrol pump. Charging point is not everywhere, limited to a few cities. So how could you expect it will work?
Apart from the cost, one has to pay an annual subscription fees of 9,900 for best plan and the battery needs to be replaced after every 5 year which cost 35,000 means 7,000 annually . So you have to shell out atleast 17,000 annually. And the milege is also very low and for short journey. So I will still go for a normal bike.
And destroy the environment
@@harkharajbharali808 In India today there is only 35% electricity generated from renewable sources and 65% from non renewable sources like coal plant. So even if you buy this and charge at any regular electricity port say 100 unit then you will use 65 unit of electricity from non renewable sources mostly coal power plant in India. So you are not making very significant change to the environment. If electricity for charging comes from solar or any other renewable source then only it will help the environment.
@@harkharajbharali808 I'm also concerned about the environment but that does not mean any xyz company can rob me of money on pretext of protecting the environment. I like the concept of electric bikes but subscription plan is just bullshit. It's a product like phone. I pay the price once and use it as long as I want. I don't and will never pay inflated price and then subscription fees for it. 1.25 lakh for bike and then 10,000 per year is nonsense.
No issues with the price. Electric vehicle will cost more. But that range of just 75Kms is a big let down. Again fast charging will take 2 hours. Anything less than 200Kms of range is hard for mass market adoption. Think for a moment, you spend 1.25L and then you buy a permanent tension of running out of juice too soon. Your riding range is limited. And as the batteries will fade with time this will even get worse. And battery replacement will be expensive too.
Vipan Kumar 75 kms is a lot of range sir.
Point being, this is made for city commuting, saves up on fuel, less things to break down, no vibrations and feels like you are gliding. Plus Athers got you covered on almost everything fromt battry to motor and free installation of charging point at your home with 24/7 roadside assistence. There is alot of service they have to offer.
I being a resident of bangalore, can travel from north bangalore to south bangalore and back in a single charge. And it is very convenient.
For Now in India, electic veichles make alot of sense for city riding given the traffic conditions and fluctuating fuel prices. You can quite litrally pay off the EMI of the scooter from the fuel expenses of the month.
And yhea forgot to mention about the charging, The fast charging puts 80% in an hour. That is impressive actually.
And even if you dont have access to one, its not that hard.
Suppose you are going to your office and then you can put it on charge and when its time to go home, it ll be 100%.
Or do the same when you come back home, put it for overnight charge.
Just have to time it right.
Its the same thing we do when our bikes come in reserve, time it right for refuel before the tank empties.
By the time you wear out the batteries, they will be much cheaper.
Battery depreciation is the key and they are not commenting on it .
I don't think anyone in India is that environmentally conscious to spend 1.3 Lac for an *electric scooter* that can only go *80 kmph* max. For that price we'd easily get a decent bike or two scooters.
You're also an Indian and change starts with you. Nobody cares about "any'' Indian here. I am an Indian. I care environment. I'm going to buy it very soon. I KNOW I can get a descent bike with this price, but I know we'll have to pay even more a descent price in future if we don't change ourselves now.
@@shaantubes go fuck ur self..
Most of d fucking new indian companies try 2 loot common peoples hard earn money..They want a huge profit..and dream to be a big player in one night.Just like these dick head scooter company.Even They made a nano car in 1.5 lack.but these people fucking bastards nothing else
Tchnical Gurujji I will definitely buy this scooter if tork didn't launch this year, i do care about environment
The price of electric scooters in other countries is double
This is where the govt needs to assist in production
At 3:59, Powerdrift says you have to remove your gloves every time you want to use the screen.
Now a touchscreen works when you use you fingers because your fingers can conduct electricity. Your leather gloves can't.
So a small hack. You can cut small portion of a Kurkure packet to cover the top of your finger. Stick it your glove such that shiny silver side of it is outside. You can use a fevikwik for this.
Now you don't have to remove your gloves to operate the touchscreen!
No it works because of Capacitance of our finger.(As it is glass ,which is non conductive)
Yeah anything like aluminium foil piece will work to provide capacitance to screen.
Engineered to precision....
I did notice a small rubber belt inside the seat hood.. And that's marvelous..It prevents scratches on your helmet glass......
And i never came acorss any brand of scooters or even bikes who had put these much efforts to design a side stand.........
Great work... Best of luck.....
Is it just me or the key information is missed?
Like maximum range in power and eco mode.
Hey Amaey, we have mentioned that at 6:17!
PowerDrift Well, Varun carried it so good that atleast 50% of us will miss the text. 😂
Don’t compare this to Tesla.
This is unique on its own and has to be marketed for Indian market.
Blown away with this machine.. thats lit🔥 bring it to mumbai v need this as petrol prices r already eating almost my whole salary😔
It should hit Mumbai next year.
To be frank, If I buy TVS NTORQ, I amm getting in 1.25 lacs that is a powerful scooter and 27000 kms of fuel (at RS 90 PL) will last for avg. 3 yrs of common ma and I am sure this scooter's batteries will suck twice in 27000 km that will cost again 30000 rupees to change batteries. Why any one gets fucked up by 80000 more only for nature? The price should be around 50-60 k, I don't see any rocket science of 1.25 lacs.
A Modern, eco-friendly, safety features, Indian Brand, just buy Ather 450 i will also try to buy it in Nagpur, Maharashtra.
That's a good attitude!
@@powerdriftofficial Yup
Its lovely man 1.25 lakhs for this bike may seem too much for a scooter but 75 km for 10₹ thats a big deal
Quite a big deal that, and with all the plans that they have, they could play a pivotal role in revolutionizing the EV acceptance in India.
Akshansh Jaiswal they can be next ola of India
Why should someone not buy an Activa for 60k and spend another 60k on fuel and maintenance. It will last for like 15 years.
Almighty Yes. But eventually BS-6 Activa will also come up. Lion's share of pollution goes to factories and large vehicles. Would they too become battery operated anytime soon ??
It depends how much running u r bike do daily.
BS-6 is not that different and doesn't really make a difference. Also, just because heavy vehicles pollute a lot doesn't mean your pollution doesn't exist. Try making a difference
Thats the mindset we ought to change
shwetank verma BS6 is leaps and bounds beyond BS4. That's the reason why the incremental BS5 standard has been completely eliminated.
Regarding pollution I think, planting lot of trees, using water conservation methods and riding efficient BS6 Activa will go a long way to ensure a sustainable future.
That sound at the last reminds me of my food processor running without jar 😂
It would become successful only if they cut down the cost down to ₹ 30,000-40,000 .. else nobody is buying a vehicle that can't be refuled on 99% indian roads.
These are vehicles designed to accommodate daily duties. Not long drives or travel rides. When you do the math price of each litre petrol gets you several full charges in this vehicle. Which is economical in the long run. People need to think and do the math. I am sure their sales rep guys are fully trained to pitch this to their customers..
We are already paying 60-70k for a 125cc Access and Activate on road for a petrol vehicle, people can easily afford this vehicle with 1.25 lakh which is obviously going to save them 1000s on fuel.
My only concern is India still has to introduce CHARGING POINTS in every petrol pump
Its not expensive
Its just paying your running cost in advance 😁👏👍
Future is here
Cost per km is not 10 RS . Simply don't say that. Regular scooter cost somewhere around 60 to 70 k. So difference amount on investment is 40 to 50 k. More .
Interest on 50k itself will increase to 35 to 45 RS per lt. Added to that battery replacement cost will take it higher than other scooter per km cost.
Even though technology is good , cost is on very high side only.
Charging is another headache at different points as it will not be in all places
Electric vehicles should come with a long cord and should be capable of getting recharged from ordinary house mains outlets. A special place to charge is a big no no. But this is a very nice design.
Read many coments on price of scooter.. But nobody thinking that petrol wont last forever and Petrol prices will only rise in future.. At some point in future all will have to move on to other methods other than petrol and disel vehicles
With that price I don't think we would see these on roads anytime soon. If the EVs were affordable in India, it would have already started a revolution.
Remove the touch display and reverse gear system,price will drop by almost 20k
v r that was exactly what i was thinking.I dont think if we really need that reverse gear feature and a huge ass touchscreen.
It's a DC motor, making reverse gear won't cost you much, just swap the wire thing like ceiling fan
Instead of Fixed Battery, Swappable battery scooters are better. Example 22Kymco iflow and Revolt RV-400
Dude, where did you test drived it? Roads are not these empty in Bangalore 😂😂
Seems liken 1st of January, 2019 around 6 AM in the morning to me :)
Would buy it 10/10
Price might be high right now but i can see this product becoming a sensation in every Indian street in next 5 years
This is the Tesla of INDIA which runs in two wheels
Instead of providing charging point at Ather point, they should replace the empty battery with the new full charged one. Ie 0 to 100% in seconds.
@0:39 you did not burn a single drop of fuel but *somewhere* coal was burnt or dams built to bring that power to you.
Sadhguru's Funniest And Wittiest clips gr8 bro .logic!
I am producing 10kwh electricity from solar on my roof top and feeds to national grid...what you say??
It does indeed, but you now also have options to use different fuel, including producing your own.
More reasons for getting the grid greener. Even with coal-burning, EVs are still greener because of the insane energy efficiencies of the electric drivetrain over the ICE drivetrain. I encourage you to research more on the subject, its all very fascinating. And we should be going toward greener grids.
even if the electricity is made with coal it still only produces around 50% of the CO2 than if it was petrol, and that doesnt include all the CO2 that was produced to get that petrol from under the ground to the petrol station
1.25 lacs is price ....Lets do some practical mathematics..
Let us say we ride 70kms per day.
So monthly comes to 2100kms..
Say petrol mileage 50kmpl..comes to 1.5rs/km..
So monthly expense is rs.3150 plus 250rs oil. so total 3400rs..
for 3 years petrol and oil price 122400rs+scooter price 60000 ie..182400rs
At this cost we get Ather s450..For 3 years it is guaranteed..First year service free..Rest two years ather plan charge 20000rs..
So total 142400rs..
But after 3 years let us say we change battery 30000rs. 30000rs for ather plan so total 60000rs for another 3 year ride...Which petrol will cost you 122400rs..
We didnt calculate the service charge of petrol scooter which is extra...
So perhaps..............
waah apke jaisa dimag ho har kisi ka to ye company band hi ho jaegi fir to..
Your officially on some high weed. There are no guarantees for tomorrow. Go buy a Ferrari if you've got the money .
Bro it's not about money , you have to return to mother nature as well ... Stop breathing coz you inhale without paying ...
Its was never about money.
its for people earning in lacs per month, middle man will buy KTM instead of this.. its for people who can afford Audi. they may gift this to their wife. this is my thinking as i am middle man. for me 40k activa do great job than this and yes my mentality is not sick, its logical..
Government should remove gst from this vehicle ...
For to promotion of eco friendly vehicles..
They should follow Taiwan's eBike. Where you just swap two bucket of batteries in a petrol station.
P.S it's called gogoro or smt...check it out.
yeah its gogoro smart but it doesnt work out in india . its like battery isnt yours its someone else and reliability is a big "?" yes its good for long distances but how are they going to deliver it for massive crowd at one location ... supply is huge risk .. and battery is not universal for scooters yet .. India needs to make one as Universal Battery so that no matter what e bike or car u make you can fit these with no problems
forgot that we dont live in individual homes most of the metropolitan cities were living in apartments not sure how this e bike going to workout in the near future
I would love to buy this if the range was over 150 km . Price is too high for a techy low range scooter . All I look for is bike taking me from point a to b quickly and minimal cost . Anything over and above is super . I stil appreciate Ather energy for a commendable job and hope to see them better their battery technology to give higher range . Made in india Zinda bad . Hope to see Ather in Hyderabad soon .
Probably takes another 5 years to get to that point, Tesla might turn into a battery supplier which will probably help other EV makers.
Amazing.... was waiting for the Indian companies to stand up to the level in competing e-vehicles segment.
I would have this over an iPhone! 😛
I have personally visited the experience center and spoke to its existing customers. This company is breaking the status quo of the current automobile industry where there has being virtually not much innovation and technology offering. I wish them all the best and hopefully the government supports and most importantly the regulators dont succumb to the lobbying bu the exising motovehicle companies who are feeling threatened
The biggest problem I find for myself before going for any EV is how would I charge it. I have 24 hr electricity in my apartment but we don't have any electric socket in the parking lots, neither in office nor at home.
Setup extension from current meter contact ur electrician he will help u
Ather will install a charging point at your home - at no extra charge.
Government has to assist by providing some subsidy as, the price still seems to be expensive
every house has a scooty, bike and car.. this is a perfect replacement of low power scooty with a greener futures
Nice innovative product but I will take that 1.25 L and divert my route to a Yamaha showroom😝
Bipul Mohapatra sure... you don't give a shit about the earth. You are just another cockroach
Craigs List congratulations! U are reported
Maybe they didn't add a Ludicrous mode to prevent excessive Molecular Distortion of Lithium-ions.
Or maybe they knew how stupid some people can be.
Could be but we hope the distortion causes a hole in the continuum that allows time travel!
Really great vehicle. First Tork Electric Bike and now this e-scooter. It is definitely far from Tesla but it feels great to see that us Indians have started making such world class products. The only suggestion I would like to give is there should an e-paper display in the front, because they are much easy to see in direct sunlight and consume less power. The only downside of e-paper is that it's B&W, however I don't see any need of a coloured display there.
Hero gvs 65kprice , 50 km max speed , 100km per charg ... half of ather , i can buy 2 in 1.24lac price ... we won't gps n reverse , we want high speed n 60,70km n 120,140 km per charge ...
Everyone complaining about the price, you really need to set your expectations right. You pay upfront and save a ton on fuel costs and electric vehicles have lesser moving parts, meaning you aren't servicing it as regularly as a petrol vehicle. Plus you also have lesser wear and tear on the moving parts of the scooter, so you aren't swapping old parts for new ones as regularly too. Finally, it's a honest to good well engineered product, it's not built like a cheap ass 60k scooter, remember most 150cc Vespas cost very close to this. You literally pay like 1/5 th of what you pay for fuel
So i have to pay for that "sexy stand" and "touch screen" Rs.140000 ON ROAD PRICE......! compared to fuel price when battery dies in a year all calculations goes same for petrol and battery again....!
price should be near 70 K....
Same price you will get R15 v3 which is dope.
Than this fkin scooty
Bhai agr humne ye mohalle me khadi krdi to screen gayab ho jayegi ye india ke lie ni h
shreyank goyal mene bhi yhi sacha tha
9:01 to 9:12 the most hilarious part ever! 😂😂
People complaining about price ..it was obviously gonna be more than normal scooter plus all the other features i would say 90k- 1 lac is justified
Running cost of conventional scooters are high where as the running cost for Ather 450 is just Rs 10 + (10K for yearly Subscription). But the initial investment for conventional scooters are almost 50% less than Ather 450. This will be more or less equal to amount saved in running cost of Ather 450.
Total Running Cost for 5 Years Including the initial Investment = 108,588 (Running Cost for 65K KMS) + 70000 (New Petrol Scooter)
Total Running Cost for 5 Years Including the initial Investment = 55,931 (Running Cost for 65K Kms) + 125000 (New Ather 450)
You are forgetting the monthly compulsory additional maintenance charges you need to pay for the electric,.
You're forgetting the most important aspect. The Nature. All of you money minded people will never consider the priority of saving the world.
@@sahdevsinghrathore2384 any idea how does electricity is generated? What's the e-waste causes to the nature? How much pollution or damage is caused by these lithium batteries??? I dont know answers for these questions but I like E-Bikes, provided they give more range per charge with cost of scooter in budget range to that of conventional scooters.
I feel Ather is over priced and charging 10K per annum for ?????
@@harishsubramanyam3393 correct, it's just bloating and shifting the problem,
The real video starts from 9:00,your well !
Is it the beginning of the end of gasoline dreams?
Someones over compensating for range
Atleast 200km at full speed(90)
Charging for 1 min - 50km (fast charging station)
Home overnight charge -full (200)
This should be min requirement in a ev(bike) otherwise it is not worth it.
Other day I have to travel 30 km up and down, if I put my faith in this vehicle I will be stranded in a nowhere. People sell petrol in bottles outside(villages) , if somebody out of fuel. What will happen if this runs out of battery. Range is very important. Reason ev are not picking up faster despite having many advantages is range believe me. Atleast sell bikes(to ather company) with 150km.
Do you travel in places where there's no electricity WTF what kind of a question is this, I have lost 10 IQ points reading your question no wonder powerdrift ignored it
Given the tech it comes with, Price is absolutely justified. I would love to buy it when it comes to hyderabad.
Really wish this picks up the market and eliminate all fuel powered bikes and scooters
Electric vehicles... Please be affordable to everyone... We want to contribute pollution reductions... India 🇮🇳 become leading role... I want Indian brand vehicles......
indian government is responsible for this they are not even interested to give subsidy on ev bikes , but china already started this scheme there government gives almost 30% price of a ev as subsidy , so the common people start buying ev bikes , cars instead of traditional diesel or petrol cars , but you have to admit that the cost of running this evs are much cheaper than normal motor cycles , they don't need petroleum fuel , or much cooling liquids , and other services every month , you just have to charge it for 2-3 hours daily and then you can run it for 60km easily
Good one..
But why we still depend on li-ion technology when Graphene is the future.. Graphene batteries are 6 time lighter, 4 times more efficient when it comes to carry a charge, 4 times cheaper, almost 4 times more durable than li-ion and takes 5 to 10 mins to get charged completely....
Those who cribbing about high price. I would suggest please look at the rest of the developed world if you really want something good in the country try to understand the fact that quality comes at a price like everywhere else in the world. Dont expect everything to be dirt cheap with so many high demand being a typical Indian.
Lol, doesn't change the fact that it ain't bang for buck like an active is
@Shyon Maybe not at this time but once the competetors starts rolling sumilar products in the market we may have good product. But cribing about prices will only degrade the quality be it this company or next.
Main problems are cost number 1, then if you go out side city theres no way to charge if you run out of Battery power... So not feasible for people outside the cities
Portable charger sold separately
Good product but quite expensive.
It won't be a hit if it's not below 80K.
Updated price of the scooter is ~1,30,000 INR due to a change in regulation to include 5 years insurance cover. I don't feel a pinch about the price as its a quality and great product, but their subscription model of 8000+ INR a year is too much an ask, after spending a premium on the product. Many like me use scooter for short commutes and the subscription cost doesn't justify the spending per kilometers run.
Finally, 10 Rs for 75 Kms is a pure lie.
Agree about subscription. If you travel less than 700 km per month cost per km extra would be above Rs 1 .
Petrol cost Rs 1.50/km if fuel efficiency is 60 per liter
More people need to invest in this company. We need lots of 450's on the road quick.
True that! This scooter is fun to ride!
Millage atleast 200 we need
If we have to recover the extra cost of like 75 thousand over petrol scooters, this scooter has to have a life of atleast 5 years
9:08 now, I thought electric bike r suppose to be noise less.
Anyways, the design classy, and that stand is just, wow!
And the touch screen is amazing.
Proud to be an Indian!
But can it run Crysis?
Even GTA will do. XD
Nityanand Saswade i was waiting for this 😂
Not sure if it will run either of those, but it shall definitely give you a completely new experience.
Doesn't matter if Hero Electric or Aether I'll buy the day any of them launches an e-scooter with 200km range on power mode.
The Indie Guy what if the price goes above 2 lac
jay sahu That's given, isn't it. You always pay comparatively higher for a technology in development than the existing ones and then, it will prove cheaper than petrol scooters in long run. So buy on EMI, roughly same cashflow
The Indie Guy right. E bikes cost you 1.20 rupee per kilometer if you calculate the battery replacement too, and still that is low cost than petrol bikes @ ₹2.50 approx
Do you know any team which designs custom EV at less price. ? I need one, please inform
Post Revolt launch, Ather should change their pricing strategy for the benefit of its own or else they won't survive in long run.
Half information. Nothing about how many km per one full charge. Current charging network. Cost per full charge. How do you pay at ather charging station. Battery type and how is this battery type justify 1.25 l cost?
For people saying this is too expensive, understand that with electric bikes, RUNNING COSTS ARE CLOSE TO NOTHING! Indians pay the most for fuel in the world. That extra unit cost will get paid back really soon in the way of reduced running costs.
Sreejith R btw how much is it?
