Emotionally I felt Happy for this Because This is my Long Time Dream to Do

But Fellow Atherites mentioning it as a Greatest Achievement But I don’t feel like that

Just drove a Vehicle for 100k KMs, But For Some People It feels like Amazing

What else You wanna know?

Drop down

[acorreya (Adrine Correya)]

Wow! Tell us the story!

[chef.arun7 (Black Panther)]

Definitely Bro, Currently Running out of time for Our Next Week New Project.

Definitely I will edit this Post today Evening

[Shyam_Raut]

Tell us about all service cost? how many service parts were completed in under warranty,? are there any charges that you think company should have provided that service? Also about insurance too

[Sukhdeep (SUKHDEEP SINGH)]

How many years have you owned your Ather for? What is your driving style mostly? What parts have more wear and tear (not talking about tyres ) and what to keep in mind while getting service done

[marghoob.hasan]

A big congratulations bro… its good if you write this as 100000 Kms… it will have more impact.

[chef.arun7 (Black Panther)]

@Shyam_Raut

all service cost

Too Lazy to Type So Sharing my Note Screenshot

70k KMs and 75k KMs Services dome Under Service Pack

After that 80k, 85k, 90k, 95k and 100k Periodic Services Skipped But Running Repairs and Parts Change done in SC Only

After 75k Service,

Primary Belt Paid and Change 1800/- Apprx

Both Pad Set 1000 Aprx

Secondary Belt under Goodwill Warranty

Approximate I spent like 15k Approximately for Service in the 1,00,000 KMs Of Riding

Leave the Tyre Cost, Even If We Consider that 12 Tyres apprx 25k

40-45k Spent for Running Repairs and Maintenance

Still I saved a lot from my Scooter

@Sukhdeep

years

Just 3 Yrs 3 Months (Chinna Thala Raina for a Reason)

@Sukhdeep

style mostly

First 17,000 KMs As a Newbie EV Guy I used Eco as Primary and that time My Power mode was Ride

I used Sport mode like NFS Most Wanted 's Nitro in Cars Few 100 Meters then I will be Back to Eco or Ride

Warp and All No Way Barely Used in those 17k KMs

After that I got to know from a Customer from Coimbatore, That Modes are just Power Limiters there nothing between Mode and Range

So I used Sport as Primary Mode till 57,420

After using Sport for such Looooooong KMs, I came to know Warp is also similar at 40k KMs ODO but Battery started dying from 45k

So I decided to Use Sport as Power Mode

Then the day has come on 57,420 KMs - I changed the Battery From 57.4k till Now 1,00,348.8 KMs

WARP IS MY PRIMARY MODE

@Sukhdeep

more wear and tear

Mostly I changed Belts ya,

Primary and Secondary 4th Set On my Vehicle Right Now

I will check my Invoice’s and Update Exactly When I changed

But my Primary Belt once Changed at 46k KMs lasted till 98k KMs

@Sukhdeep

what to keep in mind while getting service done

Do Periodic Service Properly When Your Warranty is There

**,800 KMs to **,200 KMs Between Example (9,800 to 10,200)

Then You know how to take Care of Your Kid

@marghoob.hasan

congratulations

@marghoob.hasan

100000 Kms

Sure Bro, As You say

[SidG26 (Siddhant Garde)]

@chef.arun7

After that I got to know from a Customer from Coimbatore, That Modes are just Power Limiters there nothing between Mode and Range

95+% of the people still don’t get that, including Ather SC people.

@chef.arun7

Fellow Atherites mentioning it as a Greatest Achievement But I don’t feel like that

An achievement for sure. Congratulations.

Is your vehicle the first one crossing 1 lakh?

[SatishVSS]

Pls post your scooter pictures after this milestone reached.

Just to know how the wear and tear looks!

[chef.arun7 (Black Panther)]

@SidG26

including Ather SC people.

I agree this %

@SidG26

first one crossing 1 lakh

No, No

Miljoraj from Kochi Kerala Crossed 1 Lakh in 2 Yr 9 Months @miljoraj96

1,00,000 km in Gen 2 Ather 450X in 2yr 9 mo

@miljoraj96 is I believe the 2nd Ather owner in Kerala to cross 1,00,000 km in under 3 years (2 yr 9 months) , which is a great achievement and shows Ather is built to last. Being a Gen 2 450X has it’s advantages with Active Cooling and a great belt. @miljoraj96 , keep riding and keep warping.

Prakash from Vizag Crossed around 1.40 Lakhs in 3 Yrs

And I maybe mention my Vehicle as ORGANICALLY USED Ather Like I didn’t use my Buddy for Delivery Partner Jobs (One Customer said this to me in a WhatsApp Group )

@SatishVSS

Just to know how the wear and tear looks!

Extremely I am sorry to disappoint you, at 95k ODO KMs I changed my all Panels with Insurance

[krishnamurthy.balach (Balachander Krishnamurthy)]

Congratulations. Great achievement.

[karanthhupendra (H Upendra)]

Please let us know which charging rule you are using in this 100k kilometres journey 80-20-80 rule or 100-0-100? And also let us know how often have you used grid charging?

[agobade (Akshay G)]

Have you ever changed brake fluid ?

[SidG26 (Siddhant Garde)]

@chef.arun7

That Modes are just Power Limiters there nothing between Mode and Range

I’m tired of telling people, many people don’t get it but if they do they could really optimise the performance with range.

And for the company, CC and SC (at least SC Manager) people should know, I had to convince a lot that my battery has a problem because I don’t ride in Eco.

Ah, right. I was thinking I remember seeing a post.

[chef.arun7 (Black Panther)]

@karanthhupendra

80-20-80 rule

Toooooooooooo Lazy to Follow this

So I will charge whenever I need

@karanthhupendra

you used grid

First Battery I used a lot of time in Grid i.e 0-100% atleast 100+ Times

Second Battery Now Its Good

Approximately Daily Once I use now

First Battery I used daily 2 Times

@agobade

brake fluid

Yess but donno the frequency

[AlokRanjan (Archana Yadav)]

itne me to petrol wala bhi chal jata to Ather ka faayda kya hi …jint aka petrol bachaya utna to batttery khaa gayi…petrol is better then

[chef.arun7 (Black Panther)]

@AlokRanjan

petrol is better then

Haha, See I am not here to Change Anyone 's Mind

But No One can change me from Loving EVs, I was drenched in Financial Issues after Covid Lockdown and Ather is the Reason I am alove today

Because I travelled distances without Money back in 2021 and 2022 without Paying for Ather Grids and Did Business Meets

Without Ather I will be in Debt over Debts

So Petrol is never equal to EVs. My Conclusion. Period

[rajeshkav]

Congratulations… Keep it up. Appreciate your endurance.
