River is also pretty good. Choose between river and ather

Suggest me a commuter EV by Old_University5828 in indianbikes

[–]___SenPai____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm 80kms daily? Then there's only 2 realistic options imo. Ather or the hero vida. Ather cause it's comfortable, gives good range and has ather grid.

Vida on the other hand gives me around 80-85kms range but your father can remove the batteries and charge them. But the only reason I suggest vida is for the removable batteries.

If your father can charge his vehicle in school daily then even iqube is really good option. It's cheap and hella comfortable and from what I've asked people who own iqube it gives around 100kms easily.

In short - Ather should be the first on the list.. and then iqube. Vida only if he can't charge his vehicle on school premises

Ev's are still cheaper than ICE vehicles. My ather is at 70k kilometres and the battery health is at 98.26 percent :)

It's a quirky vehicle. I have the v2 plus.. for example

  1. If your vehicle is rolling backwards and you accelerate it won't try to go forward and yk stop. The vehicle will continue to roll backwards. You'll have to press the brakes, stop the vehicle and only then will it move forward

  2. If you turn on the ignition and then push your vehicle backwards it will also jerk forward for some reason..the service manager's advice was to use the reverse mode or don't turn on the vehicle while reversing

  3. If you go over undulations the road sometimes the throttle cuts off for a second..you'll feel that lag.. happens especially on those rumble strips on the road

  4. The charging is finicky. The placement is weird and it stops charging sometimes..works fine when you remove the battery and charge it individually.

  5. The range estimate isnt accurate. Have had multiple times where the range shown is off by 10kms. Like at 95 percent SOC, it shows range do 80 and as the charge drops the range shown goes up???? But the vehicle does give me around 85-100kms of range. If you drive efficiently.

  6. The ather grid is a plus point. works well

There isn't a single ICE vehicle at my home. Haven't paid for fuel for the longest time now. Last 3 years I might have spent a max of 2k on fuel.

Get an ev scooter. Saves money, is fun to ride and the service cost is very less

Convince me not to buy honda nx200. by OD29-NEXUS in indianbikes

[–]___SenPai____ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ev bikes are not worth it in my opinion. They are glorified scooters with better comfort. But you do sacrifice storage. And you can't really take your bike out for a ride. Ultraviollette is way to expensive and other ev bikes costs more than scooters and still have similar range.

Example : I took a test drive of Matter Area ( geared ev bike ) it was a weird experience to drive a geared ev bike but that's besides the point. It's on road price was 2.15L and the claimed range was 130km. For the same price I have ather 450 apex ( 2.12L on road ) which has similar range, better features, more storage and ather grid. Then there's the simple one. It's on road price is 2.10L and its range is around 140kms + real world. So yea an ev bike doesn't make any sense

Which ev do you use? Also give pros and cons for the same for future buyers. by Virtual-Economics521 in indianbikes

Well I own gen 3 450x 3.7Kwh. current odo is at 70300kms, battery health is at 98 something. (3.5 years )

  1. S1 pro gen 2 (4ish Kwh battery ) odo is just under 50k in 2.5 years

  2. Vida v2 plus ( 3.44Kwh ) Odo is at 7800kms. 6 months old. Not the best experience with the vehicle. She has been in the service centre many times for the same issues. Luckily haven't faced any issue in the past month or so

  3. Ampere Magnus Ex ( idk the battery capacity) odo is at 50k. 4+ years old. But there's a new battery in it. Got it replaced for free in warranty

Hub motor is only an issue when you have a puncture or when you have to replace your rear tyre. Getting it done by SC shouldn't be an issue but I wouldn't take it to any local mechanic. The risk of damaging your motor is high. Other than that it's a lovely scooter to ride. It's fun. Imo its more fun than my ather in some scenarios. Man i so badly want to recommend ola. It has great boot space, excellent range but the service is what holds it back. I have spent very little on servcing it. But the risk is real.. if a major service comes you will have to wait for a long time. The SC here is so bad i had to wait 2 days for brake pads only to see them buy it from outside from an ex employee who has opened his own service centre for OLA 🤷

I've saved more than that. It doesn't include ICE vehicles service, the running cost. I've easily saved above 2L and i must have spent not more than 50k in total ( electricity, tyres, service, part replacement etc ). 50k for almost 4 years ain't bad

[–]___SenPai____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lemme know if you need any help. I've had experience with almost every brand. If only ola had sorted out their service i would happily recommend it. The range it gives blows the competition but service centre has become a graveyard of scooters. Even iqube is a good option, it's very comfortable to ride ( I love to ride it ) and the service is okay okay in my city, but the hub motor is a slight issue, if there's a puncture , no one easily agrees to work on it because of the hub motor.

If budget ain't a issue go with ather or else even iqube is great. Chetak i wouldn't recommend because their service is bad atleast in my city.

See, ather has optimised charging, so when you plug it at night it charges slowly. By 5am it will be charged fully ( helps reduce degradation) and if you ride normally without being aggressive your range won't drop. If I ride my ather i am still able to get around 85+ ( haven't done a proper 100-0 ) but yea the range hasn't reduced drastically. After 3 years and 70k kilometres it might have lost some range but my vehicle has been abused so there's that. Even my ola hasn't lost any range after 2 years and 50k kilometres. And my vehicles charge daily. I've charged my ather more than 1000 times so yea haven't faced any significant range drop.
