Thanks for putting this together, this is great feedback that I’ll pass on to the team.
Addressing some of the changes you’ll already see:
Touch screen lagging - this will be improved by the new processor, along with using Android as the OS
Broader tyres are geared towards performance. You’ll see minor changes in the range by using these tyres, and we’re keeping this optional. At the time of delivery, you can choose which tyres you want - for more range or performance
Keyless entry - We were exploring options, but right now, none of them provide the level of security and usability that we’d like, so the 450X will come with traditional keys
ABS - ABS is not possible on the current frame design, but we’re looking at tweaking the CBS to prevent such incidents
Seat lock - Not sure what the issue is in the current seat lock
You can expect the loan and lease options to be similar to the one for the 450. Deliveries start in Q3, so the final options will be announced before that.
Most of us earlier expected at least 3 to 3.5 kWh battery pack upgrade from earlier 2.4 kWh, but converting to 21-70 cells only added up capacity from 2.4 kWh to 2.6 kWh of usable capacity for 450x.
At least the space occupied by previous AC/DC converter could had been properly utilized to install additional 1 kWh of battery pack (to around 3.5 kWh), which would had given Top speed and Range of [100 kmph | 100 km] in ride mode itself with that magic number.
If it were possible, it would have already been done. It’s not technically feasible to just add a battery pack in an empty space to add more range, without adding further complexities, weight, and significant cost due to the increase in components to the vehicle.
Yes, you’ll get any critical updates for your scooter when you bring it in for service.
Navigation over bluetooth is not possible since we use full Google maps on the scooter. The data transmission rates over Bluetooth are pretty slow and would not make a great experience. As mentioned in the other thread, it’s not just the data cost, but there are costs associated with developing new features, data storage and pipeline costs as well.
Still in online current rates per kWh is aprox. 15k
So the battery cost would be around 40k as per market… And in upcoming years by 2025 it should do by 25k to 30k…? More over I think this
@abhishek.balaji Been a while since we’ve received any update regarding the 450X pre-orders. Now that covid-19 has caused chaos in the timeline, I would like to know if there are any changes in the Q3 deliveries or have they been delayed? And what about the collectors edition? Apart from the theme no other information has been provided till date. I’m sure many are eagerly waiting for more information just like me so we won’t be kept in the dark regarding our pre-orders.
So many threads… no clue where to post this one… you can move it wherever relevant… why is it taking so much time to release the 4g module price ? It has been more than 3 months
Hey @itsn78, I understand that it must be frustrating to wait for updates. The development of the module takes time, along with testing, estimating demand, working with suppliers etc. The last few months have been hard for the team in getting access to the labs and office spaces for testing and development and it’s been delayed. We’ll announce the price soon.
Hi , here are few following requested models to ather energy ,
Cargo/Delivery Bike, including a foldable back support for rider, like a chair, and having a feature to load luggage( Flipkart ,amzon delivery huge bags in vehicle) in the form of box or support for banding it.so they no need to hang on their shoulder that may cause back pain.
Touring Type , especially include a back support for no back pain long ride.If possible foldable back support for both driver and pillion.
