    Here's something that ev makers should realize, while it is good to take your time and refine the product it is also important to deliver those promises in time. Hyping this for over a year to an extent where people just stopped waiting for your product and ended up buying chetak/ather etc. while you're still in beta version.. why? Show it when its all sorted out n see the amount of bookings you get!

    The big issue holding back production is lack of finances. They only raised enough money for engineering and prototypes. Given the pricing they will lose money on every bike (Ather pushed back profitability due to supply chain costs after 4 years of production to 2024). In todays investment market, and given the number of makers I don't think they will make it, but we will likely see more prototypes and promises

    The front suspension and rims are from ntorq race xt if you have noticed. The tyres were 100/12 and 110/12 when announced (same as ntorq) now its 90section. The ui feels very smooth though. I really want this scooter to come to fruition as it will be a big breakthrough in this expensive ev market. 1.8lac for ather is absurd money, hardly 70kms range on city mode.

In todays startup market i dont think they will succeed. Great accurate review

Even a group of talented 4-5 engineers can build a decent electric scooter in a garage , but when it comes to building them in factories, it's hella expensive.

    The most important feature, suspension which is a vehicles ability to take on the street potholes and bumps cannot be tested at this track. People are very interested in knowing how it compares to Ola S1 pro in terms of suspension comfort. This is a major factor which influences the buying decision. Simple one should allow road test so that bloggers and channels can talk about the same. People may be willing to wait a little longer for simple one if they think that the suspension would be better or same as Ola. Simple one should think about this.
