Hi subramanian,
Thanks for the info.
I wanted to know if this lease agreement is formalized with all the Terms and conditions… If yes… Is it possible to share a draft copy, so that it will help us to know what is covered and not during lease period…
Thanks in advance…
It should be green board 
What would be the price of 450 after the pre-orders ends?
And would the price increase, in coming years, or are there chances of price rise, considering the improvements & addition/changes in new features?
What could be colour of letters?
Electric personal vehicles-Green background White font
Electric commercial vehicles-Green background Yellow font
Rule applicable since August 2018
there is one vehicle in this photo with white plate, I wonder what category it is…
What I have observed on road is:
The third row is not lease but rental/self drive. And there is no special format mentioned for rental/Self drive Battery operated vehicles. So either it will be yellow font on green background or yellow font on black background.
If I am not wrong, lease will be similar to self owned vehicle. The vehicle will be registered in your name but hypothecated to the leasing company. At the end of the lease if you choose to keep the vehicle you will have to get the hypothecation removed from the RC. If you choose to return the vehicle, the leasing company will transfer it to the next owner.
Hi @ather.team, as ride data is helping you for refining/defining the algorithm and it is stored in your database, kindly look at giving data connectivity at free of cost to all the buyers.
Hi @ather.team, when you need data for improving your product, you have to keep these scooters online on your own. Don’t charge the consumers to gather data for you.
With Third Party Insurance GST going down, I presume the price will be lower now.
I agree very much. SIM n data charge should be the only thing you can charge us, which should have been 1500 per year Max.
My opinion is hardware may be charged as inclusive component with the scooter. However, monthly data subscription should be spared.
They can charge for using their grid, Road-side assistance and free service. No question. What price to give, that is debatable. But, charging them is agreed. Because, they are extra value which are pretty optional and many might not use at all as all these have alternatives.
But, for the Ather Connect, I really do not think they should not charge. It is like your mobile company charging for OTA updates and them telling they incur charges for software development, host the softwares. It is part of the package.
As for the M2M SIM, I do not think it is going to be more than 500 rupees and it is included in the scooter price as the USIM is not an optional pack.
As for the data usage, either you leave it to user to choose the data pack. If M2M SIM does not allow to recharge the data usage, then keep it to a minimum of 100 rupees / month.
Remember, the data collected is a mutual benefit for us and Ather both.
Basically, my point is: In Ather Connect, the only real charge is for Data usage charge by SIM. And, that should be minimal to 100 / month.
Very very informative
Well… they are not charging for the data only… they are charging us for the navigation services also which is why it has a premium price…
Also… After a year you can opt out of athers subscription completely as you are not in an agreement that you will continue using their services for a lifetime
