received my ride last Saturday and currently enjoying the it, have tested it with few enthusiastic friends and here are some experiences, please share if you have similar thoughts:
-
The vehicle is futuristic in all sense, the looks, pickup and the sound(yes it is not noiseless). You easily see heads turn when you zoom past them.
-
The vehicle easily climbs the flyover with pillion rider(i tested with two, just to prove few uncles wrong in my area).
-
I have driven at a top speed of 91 kmph with pillion rider (thanks to close proximity to airport highway).
-
Have driven off road near village(near jakkur), ride comfort is great as i could easily manage bumpy potholes and railways crossing. (we were three of us testing the suspensions).
-
We took the vehicle to the extent that we just had 10% battery left but manged to reach home with 1% left. (new discovery the ride mode and the max speed gets locked during this 10% battery).
-
I use the vehicle for my daily commute to office which is approx 12 km one side. I am getting an average of 45 km on 100% charge.(i was told its because of my ride style of 60 kmph average). Not sure if i was expecting too much from the vehicle, as i bought a premium product.
-
The vehicle does make the vibration on higher speeds when more power is consumed, you could feel that below your feet.
-
The range anxiety is still there, as 450 does not include charging cable which can be used anywhere be it office or the friends home. I have to plan my travel if i am off route from home to office and see if any Ather grid is on the route.
