With the new family Ather launched, Many who picked the Series 1 have the gen2. In a gesture to continue with the loyalty to the Ather Energy brand, the company could consider a buyback of Series1 Gen 2 for a cash discount to buy a family Ather, the Rizta.
I would say it should be there for all the Ather vehicles.
Since Ather releases upgraded scooter for every ~9 months just like cell phone companies the buy back program should be there to upgrade the older vehicles.
The series 1 were eligible for buy back AFAIK. I also have series 1 but didn’t opt for upgrade as the whole program is a scam.
I got 50k lessed from promised 85k buyback garantee for my Ather 450x series 1.
I raised a ticket for buyback from july onwards, there is no response for last 3 months , yesterday from chennai nungambakkam Ather space marketing manager called and explained there is no buyback program active now.
Since i asked the buyback from july 2024 onwards there is no replies for my all compliant.
Its completely a scam, athey wont give 8 years battery warranty. They wont respond after the primary warranty (3 years).
I have two Ather, now i felt Ather cheated many and gave false commitments
