It’s waste of cash I’ll put it blunt they wanted to create something spl but it’s wayy late now plus that cost 1.80 ur better off getting new apex or something better having gear or not won’t matter just cuz it will create more mechanical friction internally.
Someone Please Tell Whats is the Use of Gears in EVs
Is it Worth?
Edit : Just watched the Auto Car Video, But Still I expect some reply from Our Folks
But I feel awkward about Gears Part Other than That Vehicle is Sick
Dude dude dude, but what’s the use of gears in EV? You just mentioned you don’t want to use clutch, there you go. And if you gonna ride it in 4th gear standstill, then what’s the use of gear box…
See, it doesn’t make sense. We already had a revolution with EV, by removing the gear box and cutting the losses , why revolutionize gear box again? At least for a bike, for heavy vehicles it’s a different story.
Some performance EV applications do use gears, here are some of the applications I have come across:
Porsche Taycan - has a 2 speed gearbox to improve efficiency, and also to help optimize both low-speed acceleration and top-end speed.
Formula E - efficiency reasons
But the complexity of a gearbox probably isn’t worth the maintenance and complexity it brings, which Taycan owners have long debated about.
Hey there! You’ve raised a pretty interesting point! So, think about it this way: gears in EVs, especially in bikes, aren’t about replicating the traditional gear-shifting experience. Instead, they’re all about optimizing performance. Sure, EVs don’t need gears for the same reasons as internal combustion engines, but they do need them to maximize efficiency and speed.
Imagine cruising down the road on your electric bike, and with each gear shift, you’re effortlessly tapping into that extra burst of power, accelerating smoothly and swiftly. It’s like having an extra gear in life, propelling you forward with style and finesse.
And you’re spot on about companies not just adding features for the heck of it. They’re always striving to stand out in the EV market, offering innovations that not only enhance the riding experience but also set them apart from the crowd. So, while it might seem unconventional at first, these gear-equipped EVs are paving the way for a whole new level of performance and excitement on the road.
On paper -
Gears means lower rpm neans low power consumption means higher range.
Thanks for the Clarification
I thought Gears are a Gimmick like Some Brands do Gimmick Marketing
I replied What I thought about That and I don’t feel like its Unnecessary Reply
Bro the Thumbs Up button does enough to Cheer. Let’s try not to put unnecessary replies and keep the thread to the point
Exactly, some kind of gears do help like our Ather, but like proper gears similar to ICE? ICE have very narrow range of RPMs where they produce sufficient torque, hence they need gearbox with variable gears.
But in EVs motor can give you torque at a super wide RPM, like our Warp mode. Hence nobody use gearbox with variable gears, no Ather, no Tesla, nobody. Some use it for more torque delivery like performance vehicle, but that’s a different story.
Yo, is that chatGPT /s
If it has maximize efficient, then they wouldn’t they advertised bigger range with 5kWh battery. But no it’s just 125km. Anyways, we will see when the product hit the market.
Offcourse let’s see now what happens.
Well people who buy the vehicle will forget the gear over time tbh.
Speed is very bad now I’m not gonna book this 100 speed after gears really disappointed atleast should go 120 or 130
For this Cost, Product is Really Looking and Worth
If We want Speed, Then Ultraviolette is available
Ultraviolet bike price is very high compare to speed. Price reaches sky when buying it I’d rather invest in a Kawasaki Ninja 400, which offers a speed of at least 200 and I can also sell it who is gonna take ultraviolet if company did not perform well and closed the company .
Nothing to Laugh on Ultraviolette Bro
Ather provides 120 KM ler Charge costs 2 Lakh
Ultraviolette has 250 KMs Range and 5 Lakh Price
The Machine Worth a Penny Product
I had it for 2 Weeks
Week 1 = 1,611 KMs
Week 2 = 1,260 KMs
Perfect Machine for a Garage or an EV Garage
Btw Its not About Speed, With Extd Battery Warranty You will get 1 Lakh KMs Warranty on Battery
Just Imagine Owning a 300-400 Cc ICE Bike and Running it for 1 Lakh KMs Do Simple Maths + Not always We ride at 200 KPH
Indians Roads 80-150 KPH is Cool Speed
Now imagine this instead of speed limit they should have it as modes 1st gear crazy amount of tork at low speed And at 4th atleast 120kmpr U change gears to change modes best of both worlds
If u have the cash it’s a good deal u get everything advance reg and so much more compered to anything present now
Kawasaki is way better than Ultraviolet. Actually I’m now bored with the EV and I’m planning to book the Z900 with its 900 cc engine that machine is crazy fast. I know maintenance and all these things are required with XP95 petrol but we only have one life and I have to fulfill one of my favorite dreams. It feels very good when vehicles don’t have sound but I need sound It feels very nice when the custom loud silencer sound comes at high RPM it increases my heartbeat and thrills my mind. So I’m definitely going to choose Kawasaki. For normal use Ather is there for savings and for a show of bad as_ Z900 is there .
