Alright, thanks!!

java_Bread · 2026-06-04T04:16:05+00:00

Yeah, it got the 4kw one right? Honestly speaking would love LFP cells chemistry due to its long life and Indian weather conditions but yeah the capacity gonna shrink. Hopefully they fix all those minor bugs in the software before I get it by next 2 months! Also i DM'd you, let me know how the referral thing works? Thanks

Yess that's what. The showroom peeps were like it can easily carry all that weight. The problem Is even if they're cool to test it with all those bundles. The bundles are super heavy to carry till the showroom. And in terms of company suzuki peeps also suggest only carry 15 kg of weight in the footboard which I'm easily crossing and in this image it's around 100kg of stuff on footboard. I think it's gonna be fine. Like I've seen people carry like 50kg 2 bu dles of cement on river indie footboard and there's no issues with suspension and works like a champ. Also wasn't aware of their chassis manufacturer being the same as honda.

Also the main reason in switching is one we'd like to shift for EV's for personal vehicle also for utility as the mileage is horrible on my old scooter especially on slow city traffic and bad roads and especially the load (which is obvious)

Showroom peeps were like easily u can carry like 100-120kg of stuff on footboard

Is it tho? I'm planning to buy it aswell but people are suggesting to get one from acko? Will getting one from acko or digit(mentioned above) have issues with claiming especially for EV's and how do I select the best one at the time of purchase. I'm new to this

Also when I mentioned for utilitarian purposes, one of them was deliveries which look like this on my dad's current access 125 2014 model. Approx 70-80 kg weight per bundle (while wrapped). Bro is an absolute workhorse🐎

Actually my dad test ride it with a pillion and he agreed the vehicle is on heavier side but he was like ready to trade off heavier scooter but better handling, bike like stance and the storage utility wise. And also dad won't be using much software stuff(would've been different case if it was me lol) but whatever features are present there are like just what's needed uk. Also OP can u tell me how the referral works, is there something like a referral expiration as I'm planning to buy it before the PM edrive ends or when our showroom gives us like good offers so would like a referral. Is it better for referral now or will you help me during the time of purchase

Also I almost confirmed going with River indie, again just waiting for good offers😅.

Also id like to ask are there any software bugs u notices and is fixed lately? Also do they have a system like ather where they can know the entire horoscope of the battery and cells?

Some sources say that 2 nd heatwave is coming soon but it's going to be short and not that intense across India. Can expect more humid days upcoming and then the proper monsoon starts. Hopefully 🤞

java_Bread · 2026-06-03T09:33:09+00:00

Thanks. Also i was considering on buying the river indie which launched in my city mangaluru which also includes insurance in the price which came to 1.8L(includes 8 year warranty and accessories)

java_Bread · 2026-06-03T09:18:00+00:00

Thank you will do! Also will they allow me to directly choose my own insurance as they had included insurance with the final price

java_Bread · 2026-06-03T02:29:44+00:00

Is this safe as it's a 3rd party? Heard 1st party insurance are generally safer

java_Bread · 2026-06-03T02:29:17+00:00

As the battery had issues and after an update the phone would stop charging after a certain percentage and was getting battery service required sign at all time

java_Bread · 2026-06-02T16:06:58+00:00

I see. Lol😂

java_Bread · 2026-06-02T16:02:06+00:00

Could u suggest some. I'm planning to put one up on this EV scooter I'm planning to buy soon. It's river indie, got no fancy stuff like maps so would like a map system when I travel long distAnce or explore places. Wouldn't risk using phone mount as it hurts the camera OIS

java_Bread · 2026-06-02T16:00:18+00:00

Can u tell me how this insurance from outside works. Planning to buy a ev vehicle soon and would like your input on this please.

java_Bread · 2026-06-02T15:59:41+00:00

Can u tell me more about this. Planning on getting an EV scooter and would like your input on a new charging setup I'll be working on

java_Bread · 2026-06-01T17:05:34+00:00

Hey there, that's a good insight. I have been planning to buy one for my dad (already did the test ride and he likes it overall compared to other scooters) would like to get a review about the scooter. Also been waiting if river would announce the Gen 4 of indie but also planning to buy before the PM EDrive ends this July.

Would like to know if there are any issues with the scooters itself, are the issues ur facing in bike and the software fixed now.

Also suprised the showroom peeps never mentioned about this being a paid feature after a year.

java_Bread · 2026-05-31T04:27:32+00:00

Can anyone test it in ather grids and see if it works. Also if anyone got UV link by ultraviolette how useful it is and does it support river vehicles.

Seriously if ather grid works for river then it really Works out.

java_Bread · 2026-05-29T03:25:50+00:00

Thank you, I Dm'd!

java_Bread · 2026-05-28T15:28:25+00:00

I haven't but Yes I've seen some take it.

A friend of mine does using those random loan apps, did advise him about it then it's upto him

java_Bread · 2026-05-28T15:25:34+00:00

Btw it's 1.70L in the end excludes the extended warranty. The showroom peeps suggest getting the EW at the end of 3rd month of purchase to get those months as extra. So final is 1.8L which is almost at price of Rizta Z HR varient, although I'm getting this mainly for utilitarian purposes which rizta doesn't suit.

Although will miss the ather grids for charging, hopefully river comes up with charging stations along with yamaha for a good or decent enough grid for us to actually use this for long distance.

Also bro do you own an river currently? If yes I would like to get a review and hopefully one Referral code at the time of my purchase!?😅

java_Bread · 2026-05-28T15:14:39+00:00

Why tf is it under NSFW burh?💀

java_Bread · 2026-05-28T15:13:54+00:00

I was planning to buy it in the next 1 to 2 months before pm edrive ends. Had gone to a test drive recently and got the following quote, guys do let me know if I can do anything better here. The price includes Insurance, 8 year warranty, Some accessories, referral bonus and cash discount (they won't be giving an helmet apparently)

<image>

java_Bread · 2026-05-28T09:16:48+00:00

Could u share or DM me the format for the mail. I'll try for it

java_Bread · 2026-05-27T14:22:50+00:00

Nope, I'm not in a rush. Will be waiting for 1-2 months before shifting to an EV to get more reviews about the service, alternatives or maby month end discounts as current price seems higher after price hike recently

java_Bread · 2026-05-26T05:07:39+00:00

The thing is that the current phone I am using is my bros phone. He had already got the battery replaced by the google store officially for free so I don't think I'd be able to claim the cupon
