They are already selling 3x -5x more scooters compared to Ather as well. And 8 year warrenty will increase the sales numbers more.

Ather grid costs 3L 
it’s all good on paper. but as far as I have seen, the warranty gets denied even for the smallest repairs. ola just wants to disrupt the market. nothing new to see here. and when the real time comes for a battery replacement they have not yet declared what is the conditions of it. is it 70% and below or worse 50% and below for a user to claim it?

So order vehicle can purchase by paying 10k
And deep discharge isn’t covered in the warranty.

Deep discharge is not covered in Ola from beginning of time. I have seen many people complained on it. Only Ather covers Deep discharge in their 5 year warranty.
Looks like just a marketing gimmick from ola to lure in unsuspecting customer who can’t read fine prints.

I won’t trust em bro the issues going on with gen 1 was bad but gen 2 is different so idk but the battery pack that’s a big ?
Imagine buying scooter on 1st February. This company will do anything to get sells.
But good for industry as general. Other companies will be forced to offer similar warranty period.

Unintentional Deep discharge is very rare case. Normally it’s due to customer negligence. But 70% performance for 8 years is very tough to provide but they did it.
Remaining all are same with Ather and ola
But Ather is 5 years 60k kms. And ola is 8 years 125k kms (80k standard+ 45k paid kms can be added)

I heard 10 years of development would have made Ather to offer such kind of warrenty. They used to always brag about the technology used for their battery. Unfortunate that Ather cant come out with something similar
