Deliveries of the TVS X e-scooter will begin in the coming weeks.

According to a media report, TVS Motor plans to launch new variants of the iQube electric scooter during the current financial year.

KN Radhakrishnan, Director & CEO of TVS Motor Company, confirmed that the company will be introducing new variants to provide different battery capacities and price points, based on customer insights. Besides this, new ICE models are also in the works.

Radhakrishnan also revealed that an electric 3-wheeler is currently in an “advanced stage” of development. TVS plans to launch the new electric rickshaw later this year. It will also be exported to overseas markets.

Last year, TVS launched a premium electric scooter called ‘X’ in the Indian market. It has been reported that customer deliveries of the sporty e-scooter will begin in the coming weeks.

The TVS X is based on the ‘Xleton’ architecture. Priced at Rs 2.50 lakh, it is the brand’s most expensive e-scooter in India.

The TVS X is powered by a 4.44 kWh battery and an electric motor that has a peak output of 14.75 BHP. It offers a maximum range of 140 km.

I believe that if the EV maker takes care of these issues, it would rule not just the electric, but the entire two-wheeler segment.

Update

As expected with Ola (they are notorious for having poor after-sales and customer service), there was ZERO response after this. With me being busy for my trip to Muscat, I decided to try out all the features and functions of the scooter for the last couple of days before my trip, thankfully, most of the features work as expected, except the Proximity Unlock which has a mind of its own (It's still in Beta though) as well as Hill Hold which doesn't work at all when riding with a pillion and on the quite steep incline on the way to my house.

However, Hill Hold does work when I am riding solo, don't know whether it is something with the software or hardware, Everything else apart from that including the modes, regen settings, Bluetooth connectivity, Maps, and Party Mode works as expected.

The scooter is fun to ride and I have tried out all the modes (Eco, Normal, Sport and Hyper). What I have found out is that you don't need to ride in Eco to get the maximum range, you can ride even in Hyper too provided you maintain a steady speed of around 40 to 50 km/h, somehow, I have achieved my best efficiency figures in this Hyper mode, moreover, the torque in Hyper Mode is on another level, and you can easily overtake anything on the road.

I have tested all the regen modes as well and found the best is to turn it off and use forced regen (twisting the throttle in the opposite direction) when required and it works like a charm, it can take care of most of your braking needs in city traffic and at low speeds too (however it works only below 90% SOC).

Now, I noticed that idle battery drain was around 3% per day, so I figured why not try the Vacation Mode on my trip to Muscat, and so I put my Scooter in Vacation Mode on the 17th at around 75% SOC and it has been over a week and the scooter still shows 72% SOC, which translates to around 0.5% idle drain a day, These figures are in line with what OLA says (Battery may drain from 100% to 0% in a month i.e. around 3.33% per day and Vacation Mode battery drain from 100% to 0% takes around 200 days, i.e. 0.5% per day)

Being satisfied with the scooter's features and performance, my only gripe is the poor fit and finish, which is sadly what Ola considers to be the norm. Hopefully, everything else works out fine and I can have a happy and niggle-free ownership experience.

However, a couple of things I would like Ola to solve is the service, which needs to improve drastically, the service centres, staff etc need to improve a lot. Firstly, they need to ramp up the service network, I don't think 600 service centres would be enough going by the numbers they sell. The time required to solve even the simplest of issues is enormous and this is a major issue which needs attention. The next is the QC, I don't think they have set any standards for the same or their tolerance levels are sub-par, how else can you explain these panel gaps that are an eyesore?

If these things are taken care of, I am sure OLA would rule the entire two-wheeler segment (not just the EV 2-wheeler segment). Simply selling the scooter and not looking back may make you the best-seller for a while (Ola is on course to sell over 40,000 scooters this month), but proper after-sales, a good quality product and customer service will ensure you remain there.

The Nexus e-scooter is available in two variants: EX and ST, with prices starting at Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom).

Ampere has launched an all-new electric scooter called the Nexus. It is available in two variants: EX and ST, with prices starting at Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Ampere Nexus has a clean and modern look. It features an LED headlamp, which is claimed to be the brightest in the segment and a 7-inch touchscreen. It has Bluetooth connectivity offering features like turn-by-turn navigation and incoming call and message alerts.

The base EX variant gets a smaller 6.2-inch LCD. It also lacks some of the advanced connectivity features offered on the Nexus ST. The e-scooter rides on 12-inch alloy wheels, while the braking setup consists of a front disc brake and a drum brake at the rear.

The Ampere Nexus uses a 3 kWh battery pack with a certified range of 136 km. It powers a 4 kWh electric motor that can propel the scooter to a top speed of 93 km/h. It has five riding modes: Eco, City, Power, Reverse and a Limp Home mode, which is activated when the battery has less than 20% charge left.

According to Ampere, the LFP battery is IP67-rated and can be charged in around 3 hours. The scooter comes with a 15A charger, while a 25A fast charger is available as an option.

They made me wait for an hour and then I was told that nothing could be done about the issue as it is a manufacturing defect and I should just accept it.

Update after the service centre visit

I visited the Ola Service Centre in Thrissur (Peramangalam) yesterday, and boy were there many scooters waiting to be serviced, repaired and whatnot. I don't know how much pride they put in showing that they have over 30 vehicles waiting outside gathering dust and another 30 or so more inside the service centre.

A common sight in what I noticed was that 90% of them were either the OLA S1 PRO GEN 1 or OLA S1, with hardly a couple of OLA S1X+ and OLA S1 Air in the lot.

I had booked the service appointment in advance (timing 1 pm to 4 pm) and reached at 2:30 pm but it is of absolutely no use. The security guard displayed ownership of the service centre and said they had over 60 vehicles waiting, and the service centre staff were on a lunch break. I persisted that mine was a panel gap issue and just wanted some service personnel to take a look at it and see what they could do. He asked me to come back after 3 pm, and I could do nothing. I went into the sales section and was greeted by a nice polite lady sales personnel, and I told her my difficulties, she immediately sent me a technician she knew, and he inspected the gaps and told me to come back tomorrow to pick my scooter up.

I told them that I was coming from over far away (the service centre in Thrissur town which is just 20 km from my house said they do only small work) just to get these repaired as per the appointment given to me and I am leaving for Muscat tomorrow evening and won't be able to wait and come back.

He told me to wait for an hour and let him see what could be done. I showed him the panel gaps and the poor fitting of the mirror the delivery executive in Thrissur had done and asked him to kindly fix that too. He obliged. While waiting I was inspecting the 30-odd scooters gathering dust outside the showroom and noticed every single one of them having a few panel gaps here and there, some were more pronounced while others were subtle.

After half an hour, the service personnel came back and told me they could do nothing and it was a "manufacturing defect". I sighed and he told me there was nothing to do and I should just accept it. Saddened, I took my scooter and drove away.

Afterwards, in the evening I got a call from the OLA backend team who asked me whether I got everything fixed to my satisfaction I told her No, and what had happened. I don't know if it would be of any use but anyway, I conveyed my dissatisfaction.

Anyway, while on the ride back home, I tested the scooter quite thoroughly and found most of its functions working as well as they are supposed to. The brakes were on point. Forced regen was working well, Ola Maps were accurate, and the other features like music, party mode, and mobile app connectivity all worked well. Most importantly the range shown was accurate, and even though I was riding with a pillion and some luggage (altogether 150 kg), I was able to extract 120 km from an 85% charge (100 to 15%), which left me quite impressed.

Overall, I would say that these panel gaps, fit and finish issues are the major drawbacks of the OLA S1 PRO GEN 2, while most of the other issues plaguing the GEN 1 Scooters have been fixed. However, such inconsistencies in panel gaps, including improper alignment, huge gaps in the mudguard, and panel gaps below the handlebar are unacceptable and should be dealt with by OLA ASAP.

So, to all those looking for an OLA scooter kindly look above your front tyre for the huge panel gap between the body and the mudguard as it is a common sight among many scooters. To add to the misery, my scooter comes with a panel gap below the handlebar which no other scooter gets, so I am sad to say I am stuck with a scooter with panel gaps higher than the norm for OLA scooters.

Finally, to conclude, I must say that the OLA S1 range of scooters isn't definitely for the ones who prefer build quality and fit and finish and prefer their scooters aesthetics being top notch. For that please have a look at the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube etc. But for those who prefer function over form (and don't mind the form being poor), you can go for the OLA S1 GEN 2 series (be it the PRO, AIR or X).

Update from the Ola customer backend support team

I don't know what the service centre and Ola Backend Team are up to here, but I got a call yesterday asking me whether I had gotten everything fixed to my satisfaction, I told them NO, I had visited the service centre and they had me wait for an hour told me it's a "manufacturing defect" and there is nothing they could do about it.

Earlier I received a couple of text messages telling me that My scooter's repair work had been initiated and then my repair work was completed and Ola Scooter Service was done and delivered back to me.

I guess, the backend team raised a call on the response from the service centre team that they had taken the scooter for service and had completed work on it whereas in reality they made me wait for an hour, took my scooter in and after 15 minutes, told me there is nothing to do.

Now, the OLA app shows a repair estimate of Rs 265.50 when in reality absolutely nothing has been done.

In the meantime, after this thread had gone live, OLA raised a ticket on their own citing a Social Media Escalation along with an Invoice of Rs 225.

I don't know what in the hell are they raising these invoices for when there was absolutely nothing done YET on their part to resolve my issues. The service centre personnel have shamelessly raised two invoices (one for Rs 265.50 and another for Rs 225) for doing absolutely nothing on my scooter.

I have attached the relevant screenshots.

Hopefully, they do something about my issues.

The new variant could use a 2.9 kWh battery but offer less power than the Urbane and Premium variants.

Bajaj Auto is gearing up to launch a new entry-level variant of the Chetak e-scooter next month. But images of the affordable variant have already leaked online.

At first glance, the affordable variant of the Bajaj Chetak looks similar to the standard model. It is likely to be offered in a range of vibrant colours, including the bright blue seen here. It has a black apron, seat and grab handle and rides on black steel wheels.

The entry-level variant of the Chetak gets a physical key with open cubbies on either side and a monochrome LCD instrument console. Disc brakes have also been replaced with conventional drum brakes.

Interestingly, despite being the affordable variant, this scooter doesn’t have a hub motor. That being said, it is likely to offer slightly less power than the Urbane and Premium variants and could use a 2.9 kWh battery pack.

The electric scooter gets many things right but falls behind in one crucial department. If that is rectified, I'd be a happy customer.

Finally got my Ola S1 Pro delivered on the day of Maha Shivaratri

Delivery experience & the good, bad & ugly

After almost 3 months of deliberation, several queries, questions, test rides, and price quotes taken, I finally bought the OLA S1 PRO GEN 2 on my birthday and got the delivery on Maha Shivaratri Day.

The Experience Centre staff told me that my vehicle was ready to deliver at around noon, and I told them I would take delivery around 4:30 pm.

When I reached there for delivery, the showroom was full of customers, many getting their delivery, others who had come to book and so on, the staff was running around here and there, I was way back in line, and with the demonstration process taking a lot of time for every customer, I told them that I just want the formalities done quickly and I will take my scooter home, they obliged and I was off to my home with my New Matte White S1 PRO GEN 2.

The scooter performed well on my trip home with everything working as expected, including the proximity unlocks, OLA App, ride modes, etc, but sadly the OS was still MOVE OS 3 and they hadn't updated it. I updated the scooter once I reached home, and along with it came a dozen more features, including hill hold, hill descent, OLA Maps, Fall Detection, Tamper Detection, Concert Mode, A new Care Mood, Auto cut off indicators, regen-off setting, and many more.

I tested all of these features and most of these new features work well, except the Proximity Unlock (which is still in BETA in Move OS 4) which works sometimes.

Now coming to the bad and ugly, the fit and finish are mediocre, to say the least with visible panel gaps and a huge panel gap in the mudguard above the tire. This is a serious QC issue and should be taken care of.

I immediately reported the same via the OLA app and received a call from the service center (not the one I bought it from as they don't handle these issues) and was asked to bring in my vehicle for panel refitting on 13th March, I obliged.

Now coming to my overall experience over the last 3 days, I could say, the scooter gets many things right including range (150 km+), battery, storage, loads of features (Concert Mode, Party Mode, Maps, App-based controls, etc), The ride, handling, etc are good too with it doing well over bad patches of road, acceleration is also brisk and you get varying levels of regen which helps you brake effectively and forced regen as well which works by twisting the throttle in the opposite direction.

However, it lacks in one crucial department, quality control. The build is acceptable, but how can you fit panels in such a haphazard manner, I could put my finger through the gap in the front panel above the tire. The other panel gaps however are within a tolerable limit, moreover, there is a slight issue with paint too. As there is a noticeable line on the side of the scooter where there is a slight difference in paint, these issues have more to do with the carelessness and lack of quality control at OLA. Moreover, today, while I was reversing I suddenly noticed an error "Scooter Issue, Please restart the Scooter", I don't know what caused this but it went away after a restart.

So, I will be updating my observations after the service center visit, but so far, I am satisfied with the scooter apart from this one major flaw. If this is corrected, I can say I will be a happy customer. Hopefully, more issues don't crop up and I am praying for a hassle-free ownership experience going forward.

I haven't been able to use my electric scooter for the last 5 days due to this issue and hence decided to leave it at the service centre.

Update on Hero Vida Experience - 2 Months 400 kms done

This past week when I was trying to charge the battery at home, the charger started to malfunction. Neither of the batteries was getting charged. This happened on Wed (06 Mar) and I promptly reached out to Vida support through chat/calls. The case was registered in their portal - since that time every day, the case has been getting auto-resolved without even talking to me. I am sincerely re-opening the case every single time.

I reached out to RSA support since the battery isn't getting charged, and I can't take the vehicle to the service center. The RSA tech came home after a day and suggested towing the vehicle and confirmed to have submitted a request in their app. I had to follow up several times and finally, a towing vehicle reached my home after 2 days to tow the vehicle.

Since it was a Friday, the service center received the vehicle but told me that the vehicle would be seen only on Monday since they have a holiday on Sat / Sun as well. Practically, I haven't been able to use the vehicle for the last 5 days. I choose to leave it at the Service center, since there is no point in keeping the vehicle with a battery charging issue.

My thoughts / feedback to those who are exploring buying Vida or any electric vehicle - Please wait for a year or more to invest in electric vehicles for two reasons - firstly the price of the EVs is falling down due to more inventory (I guess) - In Hyd, Hero Vida is now selling at 1.25 lakhs whereas when I bought it it was 1.60 lakhs just a few months before. (I got it for 1.20 after trading in a good Bajaj Avenger and a good number of offers / discounts - I still don't understand the calculations as to how I ended up paying 1.20 lakhs after trading in a vehicle & with the discounts as well).

Secondly, the service centers are still focussing on petrol vehicles and their service staff aren't trained to handle the EVs. You will experience the same thing that I am experiencing, if not worse - you will have to end up losing your vehicle due to these issues.

It's not a good place to be in, after buying a vehicle worth 1.6 lakhs. My sincere advice is to hold off your purchases until a year or two - after the EV service and support system is fully established, then you can go in for the EV.

The vehicle as such is good but only until it doesn't break down and this could happen for some simple reasons as well. In my case, the charging cable that they gave seems to be faulty. If there is a process for them to check it and re-issue one through warranty, the issue would have been resolved in half a day.

Secondly, if there were enough charging stations, I could have used them - at least for driving the vehicle until the charging cable issue was solved. There aren't many Vida charging stations and though Ather stations can also charge, I haven't tried them as yet.

The new entry-level Chetak e-scooter is likely to feature a hub-mounted motor.

Bajaj Auto is planning to introduce a new base variant of the Chetak electric scooter next month. It will be positioned below the existing Urbane and Premium trims.

In a recent interaction with the media, Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director of Bajaj Auto, said, "The product upgrade in the fourth quarter was very well accepted. We will be launching a new product by May."

He went on to state that the new product will have a more mass appeal. "We hope to attack the mass segment (with the new model). I cannot share the price, but it's not going to be a premium offering."

Bajaj launched the 2024 Chetak in January. It uses a 3.2 kWh battery pack that offers an increased range of 127 km. The new base variant is likely to feature a hub-mounted motor.

The Ola S1 X deliveries will commence on April 22.

Ola Electric has reduced the prices of the S1 X by up to Rs 10,000. Prices for the e-scooter now start at Rs 69,999 (ex-showroom).

The Ola S1 X is available in three variants. The 2 kWh and 4 kWh variants receive a price cut of Rs 10,000, while the 3 kWh version now costs Rs 5,000 less. Deliveries will commence on April 22.

The Ola S1 X was launched in August 2023. It is positioned below the S1 Air in the company’s e-scooter line-up and comes equipped with a 4.3-inch LCD instrument console instead of a touchscreen. It gets features like cruise control and app connectivity. It features a redesigned headlight, a more basic handlebar, circular rear-view mirrors, and a flat floorboard.

The S1 X uses a hub motor setup with a peak output of 6 kW. The 2 kWh version can accelerate from 0-40 km/h in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 85 km/h, while the 3 kWh and 4 kWh version can sprint from 0-40 km/h in 3.3 seconds and have a top speed of 90 km/h. Depending on the size of the battery pack, the scooter can cover between 95-190 km on a single charge.

In fact, mine was the first Ather Apex to be delivered in Kerala.

BHPian Roshith recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I always tend to keep my bikes for long.

The Ather has been an exception. I have owned the 3rd Gen for close to two years. It has been a revelation and in fact, one of the best commuters out there and changed my perception of electric vehicles being for the nerdy types. The performance is jiffy – in fact on most occasions, you will be the first off the line when the lights turn green, it has braved flash floods in Trivandrum, and has been loaded to the gills with stuff, but has been unfazed most of the time. Not once have I faced any software issues or any kind of mechanical issues?

The review of my Gen 3

There had been no plan to upgrade from the current Ather, but I have always been a fan of the brand and when I saw teaser videos of a “Performance Ather” being tested – it piqued my interest. Finally, when the Ather Apex was revealed in the Edium Blue colour, I was hooked (Blue is my favourite colour – My RD, TVS Express, Supra and even my XL6 sport myriad shades of blue.) I promptly booked the scooter online by paying an amount of Rs.2,500/-

The online world was flooded with riding impressions and the magic twist feature – though not ridden one – I was not sure how it would translate into real-world driving. Overall it was a good feeling.

Now had to sell my Gen 3 Ather. My bikes are very pampered and I never would want to sell any of them. However, I think with an electric vehicle the equation is completely different – it’s like upgrading to the next best technology available. I will also be in the first in the queue in the future when Ather launches its next performance offering.

The very same day I had put up my Gen 3 for sale – a friend picked it up. Needless to say I got the price I was looking to sell it for.

The ownership change episode was very disappointing though – basically to update the mobile number of the new owner to connect to the Ather App. I called the helpline number – they mentioned that I need to share my Aadhar card and updated RC of the new owner. This was promptly done and they promised to update. I got an email a few days after that mentioning that I had used the Ather Grid and an amount of Rs.26/- was pending. I replied by saying that I hadn’t used the Ather grid ever, but to close this and since the amount was small – I would pay it and that I wanted to know how it could be done. I promptly got a call back the next day evening – that there had been a mistake and that I just needed to send the old invoice along with all the details shared earlier – AGAIN. Since I wanted to complete the process for the person who bought my scooter I shared the invoice – though for the life of me – don’t know why they need that. After sharing this – I was again back to square one with a mail received which said that I have to pay the amount due for grid charging. After numerous calls, it got sorted out after someone at the Ather owners group told me how the payment of the Ather Grid was to be done. The call centre guys at Ather didn’t know that.

The Apex delivery experience at Ather Trivandrum Kuttukaran was a vast improvement from the last time I bought the Gen 3 from the same showroom. For one, the staff is very knowledgeable about the scooter and handled all the doubts very easily. The delivery experience was great, made all the more memorable by the fact that mine was the first Ather Apex to be delivered in Kerala.

The Ather Goody box had a key holder, an apex branded cloth label, and a nice quality head wrap. Thanks, Ather. Really makes you feel special – though would have expected a sleeker keychain- had to buy one from Amazon – which came with the old logo of Ather.

The scooter comes with a duo charger – a very well-thought-out product and a drastic improvement over the earlier charger. It's sleeker with a solid handle. It has a lockable base wall mountable base plate that needs to be bought separately – Rs.2,599/- through their website, which turns this into a secure wall charger. I also ordered the handle grip. Surprisingly, both reached me within three days of ordering - in Warp Mode for sure.

Speaking of updates one major grouse I have of the Gen 3 ownership experience is regarding the after-sales service in Trivandrum. I don’t know about the other locations, but for one they never answer the phone and most of the time I have to contact the call centre number and then request a callback. But, the service done so far on three separate occasions has been good.

Now about the Apex – the Indium Blue colour is very striking and looks better in the flesh. My colleagues in the office and my family liked the colour. From the owner's Whatsapp group, I came to know that many were smitten by this colour, especially youngsters and had booked it just for this colour. I think I might be the only oldie riding this flashy Ather.

From my riding experience of a week, I must say there have been several improvements on the scooter – all for the better.

A few observations after a few days of riding. Some of them are not exclusive to the Apex and might be there in the Gen 4. I am comparing it with the older Gen 3

Pluses

1. The Colour – The Indium Blue turns heads wherever you go. Couple that with a potbellied middle-aged rider on the seat – you are guaranteed maximum eyeballs. The combination of the slightly orangish wheels and the see-through frame accents is fantastic. You either like it or hate it. Having said that I think the colour/finish would be very susceptible to scratches – let’s see how it fares.

2. The Warp+ feature – This upgraded Warp+ mode is simply fantastic. The acceleration is now even faster. One twitch of the button into Warp+ turns this into a guided missile. Have easily touched close to the top speed. The Warp + mode has a matching blue accent on the screen unique to the Apex.

3. The Mirrors – The mirrors are vastly improved. Not so much in terms of visibility but the build quality and the chunky indestructible feeling.

4. The charging flap – it now has a click-to-close feature, unlike the limp flap in the earlier models.

5. The seat – A standard feature in all the new models – the new seat is much firmer and comfortable. The contours are well designed and you don’t tend to slide down now like before.

6. The belt shroud – This should have been there from the start. The belt is now very nicely covered. The earlier exposed belt would attract all the dust and the gunk from the road and get more noisier in the process. But, from the screw points, I think this is exclusive to the Apex.

7. The switches – The horn switch is now smoother than before

8. The dedicated Reverse button – This is a God send – no more scratching at the screen.

9. The Magic Twist – I initially dismissed it as a marketing gimmick, but it’s one of those – why didn’t I think of this before kind of feature? It works like a regular brake save for panic situations and it can be set to High or Low Modes. I use it in High modes and the regen kicks in when using this feature and other than the saving on your brake pads.

Minuses

1. The indicator switch- like before is very unresponsive and the “solid click or actuating feel is absent. With your helmet, you might not hear the beep sound of the indicators in action too

2. The Hill Hold – This feature has a mind of its own. I think the Gen 3 Hill Hold was more predictable. It fails to work when most needed.

3. The Navigation screen – The first time I saw the flicker in the navigation screen of my Ather Gen3, I thought it went Kaput. Checked a colleague’s scooter and it had the same issue. Déjà vu – the Apex sports the same kind of lines.

4. Regenerative braking – This I feel is “wired” too hard and takes the fun out of coasting. The bike refuses to move freely the moment you take your hands off the throttle.

The semi-transparent side panels – this makes for a very visually interesting part, especially with the contrasting trellis frames and all. But am not sure if, in the long run, it could attract dust inside and be an eyesore. When I washed the scooter there was the “Titanic film window” like mist forming inside the panels which went off after some time. Let’s see how it unravels. For now, I am loving the reactions – will it break? Is this an extra fitting? Is it to cool the engine?

Now the all-important question – kitna detha hai? It’s too early to say – but I believe I am getting a better range than before all thanks to the stronger than ever Re-Gen.

I believe the Apex will be the last model in this platform and I was told Apex bookings will be taken only till October. So let's see what the future unfolds for Ather. For now - very happy with the Scoot.
