The rates for reimbursement were fixed at ₹6.5 per unit based on the previous revision of the tariffs. We’ll announce when we evaluate and revise the reimbursement rates.

I see that ather one is not a part of current batch of pre-orders for ather 450. They are providing ather service for the current batch.
@abhishek.balaji Is there a way for me to upgrade to ather one by paying the delta amount during the final payment?

The payment window is going to open up shortly for my 450 as I go by the dashboard (Jan-Feb)…feeling excited about it.
If I opt for basic subscription of Ather Connect after first year (Ather Service subscription is free for first year), what will be the servicing cost that I would incur from second year? Is there any price list available? Or is it that Ather Service pack is recommended to stay protected against replacement costs? What exactly does Ather Service pack cover?
I hope it should be some time instead of sometime
You can opt for servicing on a pay-as-you-go basis. We do have a price list for the servicing cost outside of Ather One/Service, let me get that updated and shared here soon.
Under the Ather service plan, periodic servicing of your 450 is covered. The recommended intervals for this are every 5000km.
Once your vehicle is inspected, here are the consumables that will be replaced, as and when required.
- FR & RR wheel bearings
- Steering bearings
- Front fork seal
- Swingarm bushes
- Brake pads (two wheels per year)
- Primary and secondary belts
Additionally, we will also do a top-up of brake fluid and front fork oil.
More info available in the FAQs as well: Can I expect free service if I had taken Ather Service plan?

For the 450, subscritions were never mandatory and always optional. 450 used to get complimentary subscription for the first year (now it is Ather Service, Initial few scooters got Ather One). But Ather has always recommended owners to take the Ather Connect plan at least because what’s a smart scooter without data connection?

Can I infer that subscription model has been removed for both 450 and 450X? Kindly clarify.

No it means you are not forced to take subscription. You can buy upfront or thru lease as well.
Thanks, Hemanth Anand and Prasath Vishnu.
Suggest you go through this thread for more details.

@abhishek.balaji is it in any way possible to get the Sim registered in our name ??
Asking so that Airtel users can add the number to the family plan and use maps without subscription 
Relying on Airtel? It will be a costly mistake given the crappy service of Airtel. Please rethink.

Hi All,
I would like to know if I buy Ather 450, will the promotion of getting 1 year of Ather One subscription free which was available on the purchase last year be applicable this year too?
It includes 1 year of Ather Service. You can upgrade to Ather One, if you’d like, by paying the delta cost. Reach out to CS for this.
thanks a lot for the quick response - what would be the cost of Ather Dot and Ather portable charger?
One last question is around the lease option - is the insurance, Ather subscription and vehicle operating cost complimentary? Can I also pay the down payment via my credit card for the lease option?
Dot is included with your order. Portable charger is an optional accessory, and costs about Rs. 5000 + GST.
Insurance cost is included in the on road price, but we don’t sell insurance directly. You can purchase through our partner Digit, or choose your own insurance partner. Ather Service for a year is complimentary.
Do you mean home charging reimbursements as vehicle operating cost? That is only applicable in the Ather One plan.
Don’t think so, you can reach out to Autovert for confirmation on this:

sorry for the confusion created, wanted to ask if insurance and Ather subscription is included in the lease installment that I pay every month if I take the lease option?
