Captured this ODO reading on Saturday. It was a coincidence that I had stopped the vehicle at this reading!

9mins to cover 1.6kms… no wonder you were stopped. Reminds me of an instance when I saw a pedestrian leaving the office same time I left in my car, and we both reached the big Bazaar signal (1km away) at the same time!

That is really fast …
Last week, it took me 27mins for 1 Km 
This was while trying to exit Eco World. Believe me, i find Silk board much better these days.

Nice capture 
I observed last week that my scooter’s boot lamp is turning yellow on one side. It was uniformly white earlier.
Have anybody else observed or faced this issue?

Could it be dust or grime on the inside of the lamp diffuser? I’ve never really seen a led yellow out due to ageing.

No, that was exactly my thought… I wiped it to confirm that it wasn’t the case.
I was thinking UV degradation, but it’s on the inside of the seat. I can’t explain how it could get exposed to sunlight.

Maybe it uses the recorded ride data to generate the average instead of distance/time. In city conditions that number can skew a lot if you are stuck in the infamous jams and signals for a long time.

Yesterday evening Half a kilometre before the scooter reached home, it reached a major milestone…
PS: Credits to the current ride timing goes to the infamous Silk board junction ! 
Now that it has crossed the 5k kms mark, I called up the Customer care and booked for the first service. The scooter will be picked up tomorrow.

On 7th October, I had got a message on WhatsApp from Autovert asking me for the ODO reading and I sent it on 9th once I crossed the 5k mark.
I was still wondering what “special gift” or what exactly is the promotion. And today an unknown DTDC parcel was delivered home a couple of hours ago. My Mother sent me this picture…
It’s a Quechua Jacket/Windcheater and 3 masks.
Who doesn’t like gifts!
And Yesterday, Autovert sent another Nice to know detail…

The scooter was picked up as scheduled on October 11th evening. The executive who picked up, inspected the scooter in detail, heard all our issues (not many) before taking the scooter. This whole exercise took a good 15 minutes. He told that the service work would be started on Saturday morning.
Saturday afternoon, I called the customer service asking for the current status as I’d not got any information whatsoever after the scooter was picked up. He told that the scooter is ready for delivery but would be delivered on Sunday as there are no executives to deliver it. I asked what all work was carried out. he listed down the issue about the rattling I had mentioned and it’s been sorted out. Apart from that, all regular checks was performed he informed. I was ok with the delivery time (as long as we get it before Monday) and hence ended the call.
Later he called me again and told that he can deliver that day itself as they could get a delivery rider. As per schedule, it reached me by 5:30PM. I went for a test ride and the rattling was gone, the Saree guard and the mud guard were all tightened. Cost…obviously Zero.
The good:
- Pickup and delivery perfectly on time
- Issues solved (all minor though)
- ease of service
Could’ve been better:
- Communication: No body called me before starting the work and after completion. Only when I called I got the information.
Overall a satisfying service experience.
Two days ago I got the electricity consumption reimbursement for Q3, 2019.
I keep a monthly record of the vehicle odo it was 2792kms for the period of July1 to Sep30 2019. The consumption was 138.72 units and Hence I got
₹901.70 at the rate of ₹6.5 per unit. This comes down to ₹0.32 per km.
However I’m in a slab higher than this and I’ve to pay ₹7.8 per unit. That is ₹1,082.16 in total for 3 months. this comes down to ₹0.38 per km. Still 5 times cheaper running cost per km than a petrol scooter.
Ok it’s not rubber. Anyway I’ve still not felt the need for a rubber mat. Even for cleaning, whatever I’d have done if there was a mat, I do it here. To each his own. Interested to understand what is 10548570 
So this is another accessory made by an owner. I guess pretty soon some owner will come up with an all round guard and a centre stand!
Anyway…people say “An idle mind is a devil’s workshop” Today I was idle at home and hence took my Ather to do some small aesthetic additions.
1. The white area of the sidepanel just beside the floorboard was prone to scratches by the feet. Due to this the edges of the PPF layer in this area has started to come off. So got a thin black stripe pasted (some other owner has also done this black stripe) which not only protects the panel but also the PPF.
2. Many people who see the vehicle used to ask me where to plug in the charger to the scooter. I have a PETROL sticker on my car for the fuel cap and that gave me an idea. I got this done on the charging port cap. It’s the fiber number plate material laser cut.
3. I had got the tyre valve changed to the straight one instead of the L shaped one. During that because of the tool to remove the tyre, the black paint on the alloy wheel edges had chipped off at some places.
Thought of doing something to cover that up and make it bit more sporty in the process. So got these stipes on the wheel.
4. I was reminded of another idea with tomorrow being November 1st (Kannada Rajyotsava). This was an idea that @pkg7723 was talking when we met last time.

Ooh this is a good idea for the side of the floor board. Do you know if 3M reflective tape would work for this? Can it be bent and stuck like the tape you’ve put?
Edit: Something like this, but maybe white? https://www.amazon.in/3M-RRR4FT-Intensity-Conspicuity-Reflective/dp/B014L7BC9K/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=3M+reflective+tape&qid=1572522470&sr=8-5
