About the Reviewer

Not an owner review. I would have loved to own this bike, so i did a quick calculation. A quick calculation & my thoughts. Correct me please, if i am not right!Cost: 1,24,000 for 50k kms is rs. 2.50/km; @ a max life of 30000kms it is 4/kms; add @ financing @ 14% pa =rs. 1, 41,360/- for a 12 month term & then also add we pay 700/pm x 36 months = add 25,200; total: 166,560 for 30000 kms (likely useful life) works out to 5.55/km. No way!! i would rather go uber/ola!

About the Reviewer

I've taken test ride at their bangalore experience centre. So here are my observations.1) the scooter is a beauty. Clean, functional, and minimalist design. It seems ather wants to be apple of automobile.2) the spec sheet says 118kg but it actually feels feather light thanks to even weight distribution on front and rear, left and right.3) the under seat storage is huge. 4) the digital touch pad console is great. The navigation feature is the best i've seen. It's google maps on big screen.5) there are no vibrations what so ever at any speed/idle. Absolutely zero. There is no unwanted noise either. Not even chain noise as it uses belt drive. 6) the electric motor makes a whizzling sound while picking up speed from standstill. It's enough to make itself audible for others on the road. The sound actually reduces once you reach some 20kmph. 7) suspension is something to experience. It's unbelievable. They've somehow achieved best of both comfort and handling. It's absolute quiet. I've not heard any thud sound when it goes over pothole/speed hump. 8) the 20nm torque that is available right from the word go, makes it exciting to ride. It has to be experienced.Over all, I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's not a regular scooter with electric power. It's a completely different mechanical product and that's where it shines through. The symmetry in weight distribution, plush suspension, absence of any sort of vibrations all together makes it a new experience. 20nm electric torque adds to the thrill. I believe the premium we're paying is worth it considering the below.1) I've taken test ride of aprilia 150 before this. The most fun petrol scooter currently. 85k on road. You can feel the vibrations in your palms at idle. No rear disc break. Sounds harsh. Most importantly you'll feel underwhelmed by it even if you're used to a regular 150cc motor cycle like pulsar. For ather 450, you're paying 1.25l which gets you double the fun, one year power bill reimbursed.Now the cons:1) the pricing model isn't pay per use. After initial one year you've to pay inr 10,000- per year for ather subscription which covers power bill, data charges, road side assistance, and probably insurance. Everything is fine except the power/fuel component. I would be happy if they keep power bills out of subscription charge. They can make grid chargeable and reduce the subscription charge. Problem with current model is that one who rides 100km a day and one who rides 10km a day, both going to pay same amount which is unfair. Wish-list: 1) range is satisfactory considering the torque. But it would be a killer feature if the power vs range trade off can be customised by user through the touch pad console.I'm not sure if it's technically possible.2) the scooter has gps module built in. But i'm not sure if it has an anti theft mechanism. It would be great if i can locate the scooter on ather app in real time.3) i'm eagerly looking forward to ather's new products in pipeline. Hopefully they'll have a product in every other two wheeler segment keeping the same high mechanical standards, and may be a four wheeler too. It's a long way ahead and we've a capable company that can become an Indian tesla and a profitable one at that.

While buying not faced any issue. But during service there is no proper co ordination and support. I lost one last free service. Now when i go for the service package not getting any option to opt it. Last 2 weeks continuously doing the follow up not getting any proper response. I asked for the alternative option to do the service still thy are not giving any option. This is really irresponsible. Very poor experience from Ather. Without reading the mail used to get reply. I won't suggest Ather to any one. May be because of startup company. I am not sure.
Vehicle experience
One charge only we can go upto 50km in city. This is the main drawback .Mine is Ather 450.

Chennai to pondy riding experience with ather 450:I'm surprised that the amount of "out of city" travel being done with my ather 450 covering my continuous e-trip of 348 kms enjoying the air along east cost road in chennai exploring the viability of long trip in an electric scooter. Start*time: 11.50 a.M. At east cost square after charging to 100% soc*efficiency: 32wh/km | top speed: 67 km/hr*average speed: 44 km/hr |total duration: 1 hr 65 mins*trip: 52.2 kms ended at anupuram around 1:15 p.M.Pause- charge*venue: anupuram kalpakkam*total charging time: 3 hoursEnd*resuming around 3.30 p.M. At anupuram*efficiency: 28 wh/km | top speed: 60 km/hr*average speed: 42 km/hr |total duration: 4 hours*trip: 88 km ended at auroville around 7.30 p.M. That the first half of the journey.Cons of taking a long ride:*finding the socket? ev owners always get help for charging.*how to manage during a power cut?*the extension cable is short, well i need to arrange some extra meters of wire?*charging time is high. How do i save my travel time?I purchased this beauty last nov 15, 2019, till now i have clocked 2000kms. You can consider this on your list if you are planning to go for an electric.

Ather 450 is an amazing bike to use it in city limits.Considering the traffic,this bike is perfectly designed for it.The bike has got an sleek design.Though it in an electric bike,it has an amazing performance.It is the best scooter for Indian roads.I would recommend it for people who are looking to buy an scooter. With the current situation of increase in petrol hikes,ather 450 is the best go.

The service level is very very poor My bike navigation is not working, and my complaints are left unanswered. Rather not even bother to respond. Even over calls also. Tickets were getting closed without resolution. Very poor customer service.
Please think before buying this vehicle.
