So hereās food for thought:
I āPRACTICALLYā bought my 450X in Mumbai @ Approx On-Road Price (1,53,000), but āTECHNICALLYā that includes FAME II Incentives (43,500) + State Susidy (10,000).
Now hereās the question :
Q : Whatās the ārightā price of selling our Ather 450 / 450X? Considering many of us would be selling their current 450 / 450X & upgrading to the New Ather 450X Gen 3.
[[ Solution 1 ]] : I consider 1,53,000 and reduce price from here depending on the age, km, condition, etc.
But then I loose my subsidy of 53,000 as it can be availed only once per individual.
So now when I buy the new Ather 450X Gen 3, Iām not eligible for the incentives & have to pay additional 53,000.
[[ Solution 2 ]] : I consider 1,53,000 + 53,000 - (age, km, condition, etc)
But this price would be still be more than the current price of the new Ather 450X Gen 3 āwith subsidyā.
So a potential pre-owned buyer would rather go for a new Ather with subsidy.
We need to have proper guidelines on the same as a huge wave of owners would now be selling off their Athers. One wrong move and the price of all the Athers in the pre owned market goes for a toss.

I agree and Yes that is the point.
We are loosing the subsidy if we try to sell our current 450X
Unless @Community-experts bring us a good news that we can upgrade to the 3rd generation specifications embedded in current 450X
Sorry if I am not making sense - I meant Only hardware upgrade and not the entire bike to be replaced with new one at a economical price.

HIGHLY doubt it. When the 450X came weeks after they were delivering the 450 everyone thought many people will sell their 450 and even Ather brought in an aid to sell the scooter and upgrade to series 1. Didnāt really happen. Very few people actually did. And the 450 to 450X was a bigger jump in performance and range at the time. Iām not expecting a lot of people to sell their 450X gen 2 to upgrade to gen 3. It just doesnāt make sense. It makes as much sense to sell your iPhone 13 to buy an iPhone 14. There are people who do it but they form a very very small group of people. The tech enthusiast or the ones who always striving to have to have the best and the latest. Regarding your calculation of price for resale value. Itās simple. Subsidies put aside. The market price is what matters. If I can buy the scooter at 1.53L then I will depreciate your scooter. From that price point. For example. We bought an Innova 16 years back at 11 Lakhs and sold it 5 years back at 9 lakhs. We were able to do so because the market price of the product had almost doubled, nobody cares what was the price of the scooter when you bought it. Thatās why old Ather 450s go for 90+k even now though many of us paid 1.13L for it.
The guideline basically is, if the price is agreed upon by both the seller and the buyer. Thatās the value of it. Sad reality is your scooter loses most of its value as soon as itās registered to an owner.
Iād suggest you buy it in a relatives name. I presently own 2 EVs and have availed both subsidies( total of ~90k) but both Iāve used my parent/grandparents Aadhar to avail subsidy. Saving mine for one perfect Ather one day.
Just a thought , you didnāt exactly lose your subsidy. You chose to sell it off. The intention of the subsidy was to make EVs get adopted quicker and for more people to switch to EVs rather than ICE. Your choice to switch from an EV to another EV is not really what FAME is all about. Availing a subsidy to upgrade from one EV to another would be in itself defeating the purpose of FAME subsidies. Hereās a solution
Solution 3 : What about the 450X gen 3 do you really lack in your Gen 2? You upgrade now and Simple launches their scooter in a few weeks. Then one more company comes along and then Ather upgrades itās Ather again. You bought the 450X gen 2 because it probably suits your needs right? That didnāt change right? So the solution is enjoy your gen 2. Retain your 53k in subsidy and enjoy your scooter

Common miscommunication, the battery is safe to charge till 1C you can charge it with the same rating its not going to loose itās life span so 750w charger is not going to reduce the life of the pack

Hi 450 Owners, did anyone of you get communication from Ather on upgrade program. They have mentioned that I can tradein 450 and get Apex for 1L
The worst part, I sold my 450 Gen 1.5 with a heavy heart on sunday to the nearby Ather dealership, booked 450s paying 95K extra and I got the message from Ather on monday 
I would have got Apex/ 450x HR for similar price had I known about the upgrade program

I have a Ather 450x 3.9K.Wh with ProPack model, 3 months old [purchased in Jan-2024], 1000KM. Perfectly in new conditions. Located in mangalore/puttur. As my daily run includes some hilly areas without proper road, i had an existing bach-ache, which got severed recently due to which riding small tyre vehicle is not recommended.
Therefore i am planning to sell it. If anyone is genuinely interested can respond back

got the worst value ā¦I got 53K only for my 3.5 year old Ather 450 
Iām disappointed at the low value of my treasured and first scooter(huge part of my life) than the monetary loss incurred to me. I immediately called up dealership to stop the transfer as soon as i heard about the upgrade program which I was eligible for. But I missed it by a day, my scooter was sold to new owner in just 1 day.
There should have been some intimation in the community/from @abhishek.balaji , @tarun before rolling out the upgrade program . I was in a hurry to get new one before the FAME subsidy closes, so had to go ahead with the sale (didnt want to lose the FAME benefit for my new scooter).
If I had known about the program just 1 day before, I would have purchased Apex which would be a great tribute to my 450 and I can rest, knowing my 450 went back to Ather
