Ather Energy assures that each city is likely to have around 10-15 charging points before the deliveries commence. Speaking of which, the Ather 450X will start reaching customers from November. Establishing charging infrastructure in a particular area before the scooters hit the road should make the ownership experience a lot more hassle-free. Confirmed charging points in Pune include Kalyan Bhel, Little Italy, Kalinga Restaurant, Copacabana, Bliss Bakery Cafe, Hotel KBs Woodland, and Eat & Repeat Cafe. For Mumbai, the charging points will be at Little Italy restaurants and Ahmedabad’s locations include Sangeetha Mobiles, Little Italy and Royal Orchid.

Ather 450X test rides will commence in eight more cities in the coming weeks. This includes Hyderabad, Kochi, Coimbatore, Kozhikode, Delhi NCR and Kolkata. The location of Ather Space, developed in conjunction with the dealers, will be announced soon. That said, test rides will begin before they are established. Recently, Ather launched the collector’s edition of the 450X, called Series1. You can read all about it in our report here.

Ravneet Phokela, Chief Business Officer of Ather Energy, says, “Intelligent electric vehicles are a new category and we have spent the last couple of years pioneering a new model in Chennai and Bengaluru, which is focused on experience. We were looking for partners who share Ather’s passion for delivering superior customer experience. When we announced the dealership format, we received a phenomenal response from strong, industry-leading dealer partners, and we are pleased to partner. We are very pleased to partner with Kamal Motors, B U Bhandari and the Kataria Group and they have been extremely supportive and have been offering us their expertise to expedite the opening of their respective markets. We hope to recreate the magic we were able to in Bengaluru and Chennai. We will soon share the location of the experience centers in each of the cities.”

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Review In Pictures

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...
