Any reason for choosing ather over ola for 15k extra and lower range and top speed

man ola had a lot of reliability issues , break downs , accidents etc. a friend of mine bought 2 ola and both stopped working in 3-4 days . brand new EVs went back on ramp .
Oh!
Will suggest ather over ola anyday. been using ather since 1 and half year no issues build quality is sturdy and drives like butter, on the other hand friend got an ola and has been to service centre twice in six months, and has had range drop issues multiple times. i would pay 15k extra for the piece of mind
On road cost of Activa/Jupiter 110 cc ~ 90k.
At 30km/day or around 1000km/month, you're savings would be:
Avg cost per km ICE (at 40km/l mileage in the first 2-3 years) - Rs 2.50 / km
Avg cost per km EV ~ Rs. 0.20-0.30/km
So savings per km is ~ 2.20 -2.30 Rs...assume it conservatively at Rs. 2
monthly savings ~ Rs. 2000.
So, if you pay 50k more (140k for Ather X), then you would need 25 months to cross-over into the savings side.
Also note, with EV you might have abnormal/abrupt costs since its not tested on the roads for years like ICEs.
Take your call.

No smart feature in Okinawa. OP wants maps on ev. So only better option is Ather 450x among he mentioned. Good build and quality.
I have Okinawa ipraise from past 4 years now. I am happy with my ipraise, no regular maintenance cost.
@Vijay007 Also make sure you have charging socket in your parking as ather, ola and some others have non removable battery. Okinawa has removable battery so can be charged in house.

I'm using ola s1 pro since 4 month, working fine, no issues, faster and smoother and stable than petrol one, just 20k expensive then petrol. Riding till 92kmph peak between signals
Following.. looking to buy one earliest.
Anyone having any idea regarding lease, saw an option to lease the vehicle instead of purchase in ather

Since how long?
Like Atomberg (fans), they started off with much fanfare that they are a desi company.
But when it came to timely and qualified, experienced support in hinterland towns,
initially at-least there were too many hiccups.
I own Ola S1 Pro from over a year now.
I would suggest you NOT to go with hub motor like Ola S1 Air.
Also Ola is now charging for every service visit if not opted for subscription named as "Ola Care" which costs ₹2999 onwards.
I would also suggest you to wait more for Simple One.
For just a 30 km per day ride, just buy a time tested ICE. It's a no brainer.
could understand the need but would suggest to give 2 more years especially summer time to confirm on the reliability of EV tech especially the batteries in scooters and go for it in 2026 as all should have been done and dusted by then or would rather say tried/tested all feasible/possible environmental conditions and min 4-5yrs of usage to see if it really matches what the manufactures say or even comes close to their expectations as currently none has gone through that thorough testing period time and also most of us don't want to change their 2wheelers for min 8+yrs

Can you explain a bit more please
What is meant by hub motor on S1 air?
Is electric vehicle need service? How many kilometres between each service and how much they charging?
