Ather 450 Price Reduced Gets Buyback Option

Subscriptions plans have been revised and made more flexible.
Four plans to choose from with prices starting at Rs 125 per month.
Exchange offers also available.

Bengaluru based EV startup Ather Energy has announced a unique buyback programme for the 450X. Ather says it’ll buy back the 450X from customers for Rs 85,000 at the end of 3 years IF the customer wants to part ways with the scooter. According to the brand the e-scooter has a strong resale value thanks to its reliability aspect, which has been affirmed by existing owners of the Ather 450.

Admittedly, the price of the 450X was on the higher side and Ather understands this, especially during these testing times. So, in a bid to make the scooter more accessible, Ather has introduced a new lease plan. It allows customers to get their hands on the 450X at a lower price and for a nominal monthly fee. This makes sense for those who aren't willing to buy the scooter up front.

Alternatively, customers could trade in their ICE-powered scooter for the Ather 450X and take advantage of low-interest rates. And if you think the 450X is too outlandish for you, you could opt for the lower-spec Ather 450 Plus, which now retails at a reduced price of Rs 1,39,990.

Adding to the list of changes are the new subscription plans which have been revised for more flexibility in order to match the usage of the consumer. There are four different options to choose from based on the customer's usage. The plans include Ather Connect Lite (all basic connected features), Ather Connect Pro, Ather Service Lite (periodic maintenance, RSA & labour) and Ather Service Pro (premium service experience).

Just in case you’re wondering, the base plan starts at Rs 125 per month. Ather has also extended the courtesy to make charging at public charging points and Ather Grid free until March 2021.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed ...
