On the roads I travel regularly, people have lost interest on ather I guess 
or they have seen too many. No one is asking me questions.

Talking about speed I would tell what @AnaghDeshpande said HELL NO
After 95 Kmph it struggles to reach 100 Kmph
140 is very far.

Aprilia SR150 has a very unsafe top end just like the vespa and most scooties including ntorq. Maxes out at 120, ntorq though feels the fastest(acceleration) amongst scooters though top speed is 110-115

Quick doubt which I have is i drive both ntorq and ather450 on a weekly basis and being an irresponsible prick have raced both, I have done no scientific test but Ather feels just faster and I complete diatances faster in real life. Despite that all reviews say Ather is slower in acceleration than ntorq. This remains a mystery to me. I donāt have vbox or any other equipment to test though

may be quick acceleration is making difference

Same here.
No questions, but still turns heads!!
Bangaloriens learned about Ather, so many know about Ather. In our Lab, most of them googled and got informationā¦ they are asking last two days where is my flight and some people asking for test driveā¦

For ntorq to go faster you need to accelerate harder and that sound of engine makes u accelerate slowly. And the size of ntorq doesnāt give u enough confidence to overtake vehicles in small gaps
In case of Ather, you can accelerate hard n still feel like u havenāt reached any speed. And enough enough confidence to overtake
Ntorq is only faster on highways when compared with Ather 450

But still if they have a pillion and see an Ather they talk with themselves. āMaga electric gaadi Adu, Ather gaadi Adu, petrol bekagallaā Iāve got sharp ears. But they donāt ask us.

one of senior managerās in my dep, from the time have given test ride to him,
every Monday comes to me and checks where did i go and how is flight doing!!
above is not funny but
he starts referring the flight as battery operated scooter
i still didnt get the logic,
every time i try to correct him that battery is just the source of energy, like fuel!

Howdu I donāt get offended or anything.
Itās like your laptops/ portable devices are run on battery. And your desktop is run directly on electricity.

But he is rightā¦ As per definition, Ather is a BEV - Battery Electric Vehicle.
Mild Hybrid (Mild HEV), Strong Hybrid (Strong HEV), Plugin Hybrid (PHEV) and BEV are collectively referred to as xHEV in all gazette notifications (FAME for example)
Ather, E20, Okinawa and all such are BEVs

yeah kind of
but there is no other way, at least for now to store electricity! - for vehicles which are meant for road
i dont find a point/logic saying BEV at least for now
unless we have power lines on the road hanging from above and we hook our vehicle to it, or wireless induction tech on the road to propel the vehicleā¦which might qualify for word EVās as per above assumptions as there is no battery!!
Honestly it does make sense. All our portable devices, EVs are run on battery. Thereās nothing to get offended
