From Ather? Nothing this year

in 10 years the cost of an average scooter has doubled. For petrol scooter the BS Norms and other government enforced features kept pushing the price higher and higher so it somehow makes sense. EV scooters on the other hand never justified their massive price. Yeah sure there is alot of tech involved in it and they are not being mass produced to bring down the cost but that's not an average consumer's concern. EV scooters in general still has a long way to go before they become preferable over petrol scooter.

Fewer Ola S1 X Plus Sightings at Service Centers: A Potential Advantage? I've noticed a trend at Ola service centers the Ola S1 Pro and S1 Air appear much more frequently than the S1 X Plus. This could be a sign of a potential advantage for the X Plus. While I can't say for certain, some owners of the S1 Pro and Air have reported touchscreen and software issues. The S1 X Plus, with its simpler instrument cluster, might be avoiding these problems altogether. Here's why a basic display could be a benefit: Less Prone to Errors: Simpler displays tend to be less susceptible to glitches and malfunctions compared to touchscreens. Focus on Riding: A basic display keeps things straightforward, allowing you to concentrate on the ride itself. Considering a Hassle-Free Ride? If reliability is a top priority, the Ola S1 X Plus, with its traditional display, might be worth considering. It could offer a smoother ownership experience compared to the touchscreen equipped models.

iQube with eyes closed. We own several TVS XL100s for our delivery boys, and they've had VERY few problems, and with TVS's large service network those were rectified rather swiftly. In addition to that, I've also ride my friend's iQube regularly (I own an Ola S1 Pro). For now, it's like the Activa (technically Jupiter) of Electric scooters: not full of features, but reliable and will do almost anything you throw at it. As for cons, I'd say it's not the most fun scooter to ride since after the great initial burst of speed, the iQube's hub-mounted motor takes time to reach high speeds. For day to day city riding, it's perfectly fine.
