Go anywhere with 'EV'

not sure am comfortable with them and also i bought elastic ropes from Decathalon - plan is to wrap all the stuff and somehow band it to grab handle - but unable to - also ill ride sitting on pillion seat most of the time - so have put stuff where i find it comfortable…

anyway would like to see some accessory which extends from grab handle - so that i can put my stuff there!

Hats off to you… During your journey to Dharmastala…

  1. How was your charging station lender’s reaction? Better than Thirumala trip?
  2. How long it took ? What was the entire duration?
  3. Did you charge at the same place while returning? (I do not think so, as coming up the hill (sakleshpura) you may have burnt more energy)
  4. Did you pay them?

  1. Similar story as tirupati
  2. While going it took 24hrs as it took time to find a charging point/place… and to convince them,
  3. but while returning it was easy time taken was 3.5hrs less, i started with 30km at dharmastala and charged to 90% at a petrol pump which is around 12km from dharmastala (while going i didn’t charge here, you can see the elevation above, i didn’t have to charge there)
    4.I did pay them via Paytm until sakleshpura and cash near dharmastala

@Ather.Team is lucky to get a user/customer like you.

Things that I’ve understood so far:

  • You are one crazy guy I tell you :smiley:
  • You must be still single :grin:
  • You’ve helped Ather and it’s customers like us a lot by your trips and its reports :+1: Keep it up.
  • However riding for such long distances sitting almost on the pillion seat and luggage loaded like that is one big risk- Please take care.
  • Suggest you to build or get some panniers or saddle bags. Not only can you take your luggage but it will be safe as well.
