Dont have big hope, as they said they are selling 450 itself in loss.
Anyways wishing no increase in upfront and have subscription plan based on km you ride.
Current 2k for daily 50 x 30 = 1500 km/unlimited in month and new ones below 1k for daily 20 x 30 = 600 km, and option to purchase daily pack under Rs50 if they want more

Also keep in mind lithium battery prices will keep reducing every year. So once again replacing battery will become cheaper and cheaper compared to subscription plans

That would definitely be better or they can make it like pay 2k for 1500 km and once you ride 1500 km… You pay again 2k again for the next 1500km. This way you don’t have to worry about going on vacation or not using the scooter for a while. No snooze mode. No worries. Again 2k for 1500km is comparable or even a little cheaper than petrol. We can opt for ather connect/charge/service/one on top of this.

my monthly expenses for a petrol bike 1380rs & for diesel car 3450rs
planned to switch 450x to cut down the monthly cost!!
without monthly expenses is tht possible to ride an 450x??
(rather than payin electric bill)
Yes of course, there are two ways to own the 450X. You can buy it upfront, if you don’t want to incur the monthly subscription cost:
Hey folks,
We’ve shared an update on the things we missed explaining during the launch of Ather 450X. Do check out Tarun’s take:

Happened to read this:
But we missed explaining two things:
- Ather 450 is not discontinued and will be sold as Ather 450X + (yes, it even gets a longer name now)
- That we were increasing the price for Ather 450
Point no. 2 above: Does it mean that you are increasing the price of Ather 450 (pre-booked before 28th January) now? lets have clarity on the point.

No. Point 2 ties in with Point 1.
Thanks for the clarification.
Is it wiser to go for the 450 with the ather one subscription
Or
The 450X with the pro subscription plan?
What are the benefits of paying for the 450X upfront?

It’s ‘wiser’ to go with the 450x pro purchase upfront ~1.7L. It will have support and updates for a long long time. The battery is a big plus, because it’s new and most EV manufacturers will shift to that kind of battery in future. If Ather plans to make a scooter next, it may be with basic connectivity features and probably more range, but that’ll be 2-3 years into the future at least. The X will still have support after that, because it’s Android based, and future vehicles they come up with will be Android based too.

And 300/month for connect pack can really be paid for each month, right?
I hope it’s not something like 3600 per year which translates to 300/month kind of deal.

But even though we purchase the vehicle upfront we need to opt for the subscription to access dta services and ather grid
They haven’t clarified on how much we have to pay after paying for the vehicle upfront
I think it should be similar to the current Ather One plans, if not the same.
Hey there, pre-ordered the 450 on Jan 29th. Will I be able to buy this at the 1.13L price point being shown on the site?
