Its MoU for now. MoU to land allotment to plant development, construction, trial runs and then finally full fledged production. That’s optimistically 8 months to an year away.
But this definitely is great news and congratulate @Ather.Team for finally getting some headway in setting up their plant.

Sad part is that the plant is out of Karnataka…

True. It’ll be an year at best.
Not want to talk about Politics here, but the truth is that Karnataka doesn’t have suitable conditions or policies for a large and new automotive manufacturing plant.

Revolt and Okinawa are leading by a huge margin… I wonder how the former gained so much traction.

Okinawa has captured good market in North India and have sold vehicles in good nos. So its obvious their customers will vote for it. Ather has not been tried in any other city except Bangalore and Chennai and few of us who have traveled from nearby towns of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu just out of our curiosity and enthusiasm.

There’s an Okinawa showroom in Mysore by the way. They are expanding using the conventional commercial retail route unlike Ather.

Yeah I understand Okinawa’s popularity. How Revolt is almost tied with them is what’s curious here.

I doubt if these votes are really genuine… Because not even registration is required to vote… So, some revolt fan group without even having vehicle voted up :slight_smile:

Take for example, Camera Phone of the Year. iPhone 11 Pro got equal to what Pixel 3A + OnePlus 7 Pro + Huawei P30 Pro got together…

Not to take credit of iphone 11 camera quality, but reality and these votes are way different :smiley:

If u test ride the Okinawa scooters ?
If yes what’s the major difference Okinawa v/s Ather450

The difference in performance. 3.3kW motor in the ather vs 1kW motor in the Okinawa praise

Saw this Electrowheelz breeze scooter yesterday in Mysore. Looks a lot like vespa. But fit and finish is very poor. The tyres are of very thin section to reduce traction and improve range.

it happens… :smiley:

The man has a concern about the product, has tried various avenues to redress it and as a last measure he resorts to this gimmick to get some attention.

The CS response on the Facebook post did not show even the slightest measure of diplomacy. It sounded very defensive and almost like a ostrich-head-in-the-sand response.

And now The company has initiated defamatory action against the customer

Company should have checked with the customer before taking such action.
After all, the vehicle is like Chinese wine in British bottle…
