While we have announced the performance subscription packs pricing (1699/1999 /mo) which can be taken alongwith 99k INR, there are AtherOne subscription plans which we’d announce shortly. And we dont expect these to be much expensive than the 450 plans.
However your concern around these packs being too expensive also might be addressed in the thread above.
We will begin shipping the t-shirts this week. However, the shipping will be sequential in that the earliest ones to pre-order will get them first. There’s no way to track currently. If you do not get yours by the first week of March, please get in touch with our Customer Support team.
As a customer if I take the pro subscription plan and if i am unable to pay the monthly fee after few years then what will happen?. Will I be still able to use the scooter?.
Though we will be using Android as an operating system - the use for it will be unlike your mobile phones, there will be no play store and applications written by third parties. We use Android Open Source, and the applications will only be written by Ather to provide a good riding experience, and we will be able to provide you good privacy and security.
We havent !
Its just that its not included in the Performance pack subscriptions.(It includes unlimited battery performance warranty, data connectivity & public charging access).
It might be available in the AtherOne subscription equivalent for 450x, which we are working on the details and should announce soon.
We do not share data with any third parties and will be providing you with features like ride statistics which will help you analyze your rides with your data. We will comply with any data privacy regulations, and are actively monitoring developments in this regard.
1 & 2 - We will start deliveries with sufficient infrastructure and service support.
3. As communicated through the emails the deliveries will begin in Q3 2020. We are currently deciding on the first set of cities to be launched (Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune, Bangalore & Chennai already included). We will launch these cities with dealerships. The set of next cities will follow.
Hey Aditya,
With the 450 and the 450X, our intent has been to make the best scooter in the country (petrol or EVs). That is because we firmly believe that this is the only way to create the market for EVs - by building products that shatter the perception that EVs are toys. It is for the first time in the history that the leading scooter in the country is an Electric!!. Only a few years back, no one thought this could happen. And we’ve tried to do all this almost selflessly because we’ve been selling it at a biiigggg loss till date. Even with 450X and it’s price we’ll barely break-even that too if we sell a loooottt of scooter. (Refer to my explanation here [Closed] AMA - 2, Saturday 1 February - #108)
So, while our intent is to make our product as accessible as possible for as many people, one thing that we cannot compromise is the price. Within this restriction, we are happy to make a configuration that’ll suit the need of a person who wants to pay a lower monthly charge. Just that in such a case, the upfront payment will go up. So let’s say you pay Rs. 1.3 L upfront and Rs.1K monthly… Will something like that suit you? Why don’t you suggest us a way?
When you guys designed the battery for the 450X, your priorities did not Include the compatability of the new battery with the old 450.
Idk if it will be made compatible at some point of time.
Going forward I’m sure ather will make new batteries. Will ather be considering designing a better battery for the old 450 users when they reach the end of their battery life ?
It’s not comparable with a 350cc bike. ABS as feature is both costly and is not absolutely necessary for the Ather 450X, given the dual brake CBS, and now a thicker performance tyre option. We will consider your suggestion for a future update.
