Is It Value For Money? | Ather 450X FAQs #4

- Is the Ather 450X value for money? In the showroom price world, it's hard to justify. The range is lower than its competition, the price is usually higher than the competition and while some of its is more gimmickry than real, the competition also offers more features. So it's hard to see VFM as the reason to buy an Ather. On the flip side, the Ather is the one electric scooter in the country that does what it promises to almost all of the time without hiccup, fuss or failure. So while the buying price is high, the experience of living with it is nice. What we mean by that is that you can stay in whichever mode you like as long as you want to -- something most electric scooters still cannot achieve! Range predictions are dead accurate which makes riding it and charging it less of a worry... and so on and so forth. ~

So basically ather is the iphone of electric scooters
🤣
Ather iphone yes ofcourse And ola like android and hanging 😂

It feels so good to see an Indian ev brand doing this well
There are no Indian brands in Ev or phones, all are assembled.

Abhi wo Charger ke liye extra 20k nahi le rahe😂(Thanks to Govt.) Isiliye ab 100% Value for Money
🤣
Its immense value for money imo. Listing down my thoughts on why:
1. Live in chennai and their public charger network is unbeatable. Around 40 chargers in chennai and short trips like chennai to pondy are now possible because of the grid. What does the competition have in the same city? 3 hyper chargers from ola and also the ola chargers dont have a lock so anyone can just unplug your scooter while its charging (at home or outside on the hyperchargers)
2. The App just works. Simple things like sharing a whatsapp location to the app and pushing it to the scooter works so well. My friend with the ola on the other hand has to struggle to do the same things and the ather app is just packed with features while the ola app was surprisingly bland tbh
3. The traditional key to unlock this makes it accessible to everyone in my family and I cant imagine typing in a pin everytime which can also be easily changed and messed with if anyone knows your current pin (the lack of security is a joke) also cant find your scooter cuz someone took it ? Well cant use the app to find it while on the ather you can. With ola, call support for it
4. The battery warranty. Got a default 5yr 60k km warranty with my 450x while it was add on pack with the ola. I reach for these warrantys anyways and i think most consimers should considering the new powertrain, so in reality what seemed to be price difference on road of 25k between the ola and the ather was much lesser when you added the battery warranty to the ola. Also the ather battery warranty was the only one with a performance guarantee that battery health wont go be below 70%. Also they limit their battery's usable capacity
5. Service network. My friend had a horn switch konk out on his ola and it took 5 days for them to fix it and send it back to him. I dont wanna live in a world where a switch change takes more than a few hours at best. The same thing took 20 mins at the ather service center(tbh the ather switch quality is passable at best but atleast when it breaks i know i can get it changed in a giffy)
6. Better suspension: trust the ather suspension and lot of confidence for me coming from the 390 duke. The ola suspension was good but it wasnt speaking to me much and that front scares me. Cant ride a vehicle the way you want to if you are wincing everytime you go over bump hoping nothing happens.
7. Bootspace - 22L ather vs 36L ola. Again numbers dont give the full picture. The ola boot is wide but doesnt have depth. So none of my helmets actually fit inside the ola. Any half decent steelbird or vega helmet doesnt fit either. The ather is accomodating a full size helmet tho.
8. I got a cool exchange bonus of 12k when turning in my old aprilia sr 150 (2016). The dealer took it for 35k + exchange bonus 12k. 47k for the aprilia was not something I was getting when listed on olx only. Ola had a 8k exchange bonus during the same period plus their appraiser didnt give 35k for the aprilia and quoted 28k. So 4k extra bonus + 7k better appraisal value + standard 5yr warranty worth 8k. Totaled to 19k and the difference onroad was 25k ish. So I essentially paid like 6k more. So was it even expensive then ?
Okay so what did I lose?
1. Extra range. On the ola I was getting 15 to 20 km more per charge. Which Im okay with, but was far from what people are led to believe will be the difference. 170km vs 105km is what youre lead to believe but reality is often dissapointing. The writing was on The wall tbh. 3.7kwh on ather vs 3.9kwh on ola s1 pro. Theoretically 170 was not possible at 40-50kmph ever.
2. Speakers : I actually dont give a damn about this. Total gimmick
Tldr: I essentially paid only 6k more for the ather compared to the ola. While the narrative among journalists is that the ather is expensive. Imo it's not, do I blame schumi for misrepresenting, nope. I dont doubt his integrity for a second but I also would suggest consumers to test ride and visit stores as ground realities are very different and journalists cant account for every offer scheme being rolled out at the stores and reality is very different from paper. The ola was the better product on paper but quickly fell down in my eyes when I went down and interacted with the product.
what about ola s1 vs ather price difference ?
i got my ola s1 at just around 1.13 lakh
top speed - 95 ( motor power same as s1pro)
range 110 k.m on normal mode ( just accelerate gently )
I have covered 11000 km in 4.5 months. Once there was a software glitch and once the nuts came loose
so yeah your ather is overvalued
and ola me LG ka battery hai toh aaram se 1 lakh km chal jayega uske baad range kam hoga
@@The_h8 I have given you multiple reasons on why it really isn't. Things like the Ather grid, charger lock, better suspension, vastly better battery cooling systems. All of these things Cost money and I'm ready to pay for it. I just don't look at cost of the product but also look at why that cost is there in the 1st place. I also don't trust Ola, i work in the auto industry. Ola's testing and validation have long ways to go and I would only purchase an ola 4 years from now once it's proven to be a long term reliable vehicle. Ather has that track record and there are vehicles in chennai that have crossed 70k kms on their 1st battery still running without any replacements. I literally paid 6k more than the s1 pro to get my 450x and I got a much better product for it
Thanks for taking out the time to post this! Very insightful comment! Kudos to you mate!
@@gaurangnaik850 no, you are wrong, suspension toh ola ka hi better hai agar chalane wala professional rider hai toh use feel ho jayega suspension quality (accident ke case me ola ka suspension band hone ke jagah tut jata hai kyuki single fork hai),
ather grid mere kisi kaam ka nahi kyuki mai road me 2-4 ghante charging karte huwe khade hona pasand nahi karunga (ola ka bhi hypercharger hai)
battery ke mammle me LG aur samsung ka ka koi mukabla hi nai hai ( ola me LG ka battery hai)
cooling system? kisi kaam ka nai hai ather ka ( reason battery jaldi kharab hota hai agar battery ko heat kiya jaye toh toh mere hisab se bewajah battery pe load hi kyu dena agar 100 kmph se upar chalana hai r15 lo aerox lo ya fir ktm, pulsar lo)
trust issue?
ola etergo naam se europe me kafi pahle se sale ho raha tha, mujhe european standard ki gadiyo pe jara bhi doubt nahi hai bas ek dikkat hai ki ola jyada hi fancy hone ke karan kafi scratches aa rahe hai
power?
ola me ather ke motor se 1.5 guna jyada power hai, ola wale power ko limit kar ke rakhe hai taki battery pe load na pade fir bhi hyper mode de diye hai taki log power feel kar sake lekin kai namune log usko use karne lage hai jisse wo kafi power consume karta hai aur battery heat hota hai
agar ather aur ola s1 pro ka price same bhi ho tab bhi mai s1 pro hi choose karunga ather me jab koi dikkat aayega na 3-4 ya 5 saal baad toh repairing cost bahut jyada lagega
note - ather mera favorite ev tha jab tak market uske competition ola, chetak, vida nai the
agar mujhe ola me trust issue hote toh mai chetak leta kyuki ather bhi just startup hi tha aur agar ek startup apne aap ko apple samjhe toh usko mango samajh lena chahiye
@@The_h8 hi bro , sorry but I don't understand Hindi this much. Can you translate it so that I can give you an appropriate reply
It's got amazing suspension. I use ather for my daily commute 68km. Range is pretty accurate, excellent braking system. Fantastic pickup.
Suspension is super than ola n iqube when 2 ppl travel u feel it.
I have ola s,1 pro run over 26k in 1.5 year . Only problem is built quality specially lowers headlight panel get cracked as I use my ola in rough terrain daily . but you will get new panel for free by company. Practical range is accurate . ❤
It's really expensive but you are getting return, like app or mode or battery protection etc, it's the best fun to drive scooter for ev actually not as fast as ola after 40 kmph but rocket as it takes of the line from standstill
Actually 65kmph which is enough to zapp in cities
Got this one home today🎉🎉🎉.
Congratulations!
your vedios are of expceptional quality , not yet seen content close to your level
Thank you @ruturajbhandari!
Accurate summarization
i bought my ather in August and i love it as i am not a very heavy users and its pickup is great snd it also has more fast charger as compared to the compitition but just yesterday it was not starting due to an ignition and software malfunction so if anyone is planning to buy EVs just hold for a bit as in a couple of years the technology will advance more so it will be safer to buy and ev in a couple of years of time
Ather is the best scooter for city commuter. It delivers what it promises. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing since I purchased it. Mechanicals, electrical and software all are just fabulously designed. Slightly expensive but if you are riding 10k per year you will break even in 3 years on fuel cost.
Sadly, the map function sucks cause it lags a lot sometimes 😢
Yes, it does!
Belt broken between 6000+ km .
Now I am using 3rd belt just 16340km
It's reliable + customer support and service is the best in ev
Features are not necessary only range, reliability and warranty matters
Bought 450x and loving it, fell once on road that with the help of my uncle 😂
No value for aluminium frame ?
I think, ather should try to be what Apple(steeve jobs era) is for smartphones. Giving a premium experience at premium price and something everyone would love to own.
Please publish one video about Vespa scooter, poor service and built quality at a premium price
Not going to happen quickly - our plates are full!
Obviously ather is the best scooter given the build quality and sturdiness, plus the range and mode operation are on point... But some of their policies compelled me to cancel my ather booking and go with ola s1pro.
We want chetak quality, I cube practical design, ather software and Ola price 😂
Haha! You’re going to have to make one for yourself!
@@motorinc 🤣
Chetak body panel quality*
While searching for a scooter, I initially considered Ather, then Ola, and finally the Chetak. After thoroughly reviewing technical specifications and user feedback regarding issues like overheating, scooter explosions, safety records, and company service, I have made the decision to purchase an Activa 125. It offers significantly better security and stability, along with compelling reasons to opt for it. I am of the opinion that India may not be fully prepared for electric scooters, especially given the questionable claims regarding battery range made by electric scooter companies. Furthermore, these scooters seem to lack significant second-hand market value, with very low or almost non-existent resale value. Therefore, I have chosen to go with a petrol scooter.
on road price please
I'm living in Kerala, one day I thought of test riding ola. I booked test ride and went to the experience centre which was somewhat far from my home and when I reached there, they said the vechicle is faulty and there is no test ride vehicle available. Then I went to ather service centre which was ver far from my home and i didn't even booked on that day, and I got the vehicle to test ride and I saw 2 other people's also test riding. Then there was another ola experience centre, went there and was roaming around there to ask for a test ride, surprisingly the ola employees in there didn't even mind me and a finance employee of ola just came to me and gaved me vechicle(he didn't even asked me my licence lol). Test rided ola, and i really felt disappointed because the engine cuts off when brakes applied and i immediately went back to ather and booked it
Thanks for letting us know!
The noise it produces from the belt drive while driving is very much annoying.
do these series for MT15 plz
Coming soon!
Ather top model price on road should bi 1.10 lakhs then it's worth &battery warranty upto 5 yrs. Now the price r high better we go for petrol only. Govt need to support for ev & control on price.
Ya ola catches fire😂
Should I buy the new ather 450x 3.1 or wait till they bring a new ather scooter itself??
Please let me know your opinion😊
go for the lowkey VIDA V1 Pro for betterment in everything. Same range as Ather with Hero motor corps. Built Quality and Two Removable Batteries ❤
TVS iqube provides better range, good power out on eco mode also and most of the time it shows the exact DTM
So ... I'm an ather owner.. Forgot gimmicks ather not even offering basic features like usb charging side footrest etc. Grids points are so less and recently they cut off the charging limit to 80%...For me it's not the value for money...
Why do you need USB charger in a vehicle which is intended to be used for shorter rides and city commutes?
Sidestep is available as an accessory
@@warriorrenagade6283 while every ICE vehicle is coming up with factory fitted side step why can't ather do... And i roam around 80kms a day and I feel usb charging port is a must needen one.. dude it's over priced and charging network is not accessible by all.. atleadt let them give some basic features... Im not asking for infotainment, speakers
ICE vehicle comes with a side step!!! Wow! Buddy, nothing comes fitted as standard from the factory of ICE as standard. Till 2018 not even side stand was an accessory until govt made it mandatory. Your side step, Mirrors, Floor mat, Basket, Even a horn buzzer is an accessory and they are cleverly baked into the actual price of the vehicle. If you have any friends in dealerships ask them if side step is a standard fitment 😂😂. Govt mandated the saree guard and changed rules, So that is standard now.
@@warriorrenagade6283 now we r in 2023 dude ... I don't know and I don't want to what happened in 2018...
@@charanreddy2504 You go buy a quote for Activa. See what are included and what are accessories 🤣🤣🤣. I'm just amazed how naive people are. Even now footrest is an accessory in Activa, Rear view mirror, USB charger, Mat all are accessories. Vehicle comes only with Centre stand, Side stand and that smart key which they launched.
What shoe is the rider wearing?
We don't know the exact model, but it's an RS Taichi riding shoe
What about Avengers 160
Value for money for now is magnus ex on road around 1.20 lakh
Reasons for not buying Ola..
1-Fork easily brokes
2-Battery heating issue which sometimes leads to explosion...
Atleast by giving more money your mind will be free of these two things...
Kind of like an apple of electric scooters.
Hi, Will u be doing a review on the new electric bike from Matter?
Not until we get a production unit
In Karnataka Its prices have raised to nearly 1.9lakhs
Wow!
The price I can't never digest.💀
@@ketanarora278 😂
The competition also offers more free fires. Bon fires.
Its price is now reduced by ₹20000 and the onroad price is ₹128000. Is it worthy in this price??
Price ke hisab se range ni h
💯
The range differs in sport and warp mode.. once in only sport mode i had a difference of around 7-12km i had still 10km to go and it was dead
The warp mode is amazing, in the new update the maps got a lot smoother but once you go above 40km/h the pointer (something) starts jumping rather than being smooth it has to do with a very small Ram and generation old chipset, i wish it was better because of the price point
And ather still doesn't have a cruise control while a waaaay cheaper scooter (bounce infinity) has one 😢
Imo, it is a bit pricey. BUT it's fun
Cruise control? On a scooter? It’s a gimmick.
Really! We’ve never seen this happen on an Ather!
@@Cristroxx bro with the 5.5 update they already fixed map pointer issue
All electric scooters are value for money to live with.. mode change and maps ( that's not even something for which prices should be higher)
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
#i have a ather but battery cost 80k very to much
Absolutely no.
I have one Ola S1 pro and an Ather 450x Gen 3. Both were bought in May. Ather has already broken belt twice.
No it's not Need to reduce the price first service took 8k no free services
Thanks for letting us know!
not using bcz 4g device h iphone 11 aur 5g jarurat hi nahi h 4g unlimited krdo bohot h
