Ather 450X Gen 3 Gen 3 was launched July 2022 and I have purchased it on October 2022 when there was no offer or discount running at the time of my purchase and I have paid 1.68L for 450X with charger. Vehicle was delivered to me with Old Ather Dashboard UI with simple maps and was quite happy driving my new 450X , then comes December 2022 and January 2023 offers with 3 years extra battery warranty and some dealerships even offering all the accessories within the total amount 1.68L which made me feel bad but then the community day 2023 comes up , a huge event where new UI and alot of new features where released some and some to come over the time with OTA updates with exciting new colors,
Premium riding experience and instant torque that gives adrenaline rush to the rider 
in my riding experience in the last 10 Months I saw i get 100+kms range solo rider in sports mode (it may vary user to user) ,
Ather is good for city and no one can beat that instant torque generated from it (in seriously mean it coz I have other 2W EV as well in my friends group) , only where my friends EV takes my over is in highway where his scooter got more top speed than mines,
As a owner of 450X Gen 3 who purchased it in mid 2022 or before , for us while purchasing we were not promised New UI or Autohold or new maps , so when they came , it was a surprise upgrade for us and all the features that came to me were useful except the New Maps which still needs tuning and I hope it will be over the time,
Now as Ather announced New 450s line up and new 450X upgrade switchgear model, it makes my 10months old scooter outdated and some what backward compatibility was expected ,
New features like ESS , Fall safe , Costing Regen ,
Out of which only Fall safe is promised tobe backward compatible and I don’t know why the ESS is not compatible when it’s just a lighting feature .
After all it’s a Business and i understand if everything seems backward compatible then how come new model is different from old , soo we need to digest it 
Now coming to all the old owners who were billed 50000 rupees as accesories amount which includes the charger price , I don’t know how they gonna release refund for us and how much it will be but still all the new or recent owners seems to be getting the refund forms atleast even if they didn’t get the actual refund amount in their bank accounts .
Every EV 2 wheeler in the market is different from the other and serve their purpose as per the personal opinion of the buyer but their are companies who over promised and failed in both hardware and software wise where Ather stood and fulfilled every riders needs but the points comes here we paid 1.68L for a premium scooter with premium ride experience and it’s Athers responsibility to look after their all customers and serve them whenever their is a concern ,
A failed 2W EV company which faced many backlashes from its customers is now raising in a positive way and over delivering it , I hope Ather solves all the issues that were faced recently by its customers regarding the broken Transmission Belt and other issues and come up with solution and they need to maintain stock of every spare that their scooter needs in there service centers,
Overall Ather offers a premium riding experience and hope they rise in positive way and make their existing customers happy so that they now can recommend it to others as well ,
I was closely monitoring EV 2W sales in India from last 1 year and I see Ather is sticking to no 3 spot and a Newbie came in recently and took the 2nd spot and 1st spot looks unbeatable from last 1 year,
Ather seriously needs some strategy to make their existing customers happy and also need to improve their sales lineup ,
I hope to see Ather taking that 1st spot in the future 
Below attached a screenshot of my recent ride that i have taken with 100% battery and covered 80+kms and still was left with 30+ percent of charge
