Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Ather 450 Apex
- Most powerful electric scooter in the Ather line-up
- Magic Twist feature reduces the need to use brakes on most occasions
- Gets advanced features like Google Map navigation, Alexa integration, WhatsApp notifications & more
Jawa 42
- Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
- Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
- Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

Ather 450 Apex
- Being an exclusive offering, it is priced significantly higher than other Ather scooters
- Some people may not like its unique colour scheme
- Has the same design as the other scooters in the Ather 450 range
Jawa 42
- The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
- Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

Actually worth buying
Actually worth buying Just the charging time is a bit more But overall it’s good Its Aggressive looks make it different from others High performance with good acceleration better than petrol driven vehicles Powerful headlamps for night rides Quite comfortable Best thing is that you don’t have to get it fueled at petrol pumps Just give it a charge and move

I own this bike since 2022
I own this bike since 2022 it was fun to ride it but also had some flaws with its transmission whenever i used to down shift to 2nd or first gear it stops the engine I went to service station several times but it used to stop just for some days. Other than this it is a good bike to ride in city and very comfortable for long rides. And parts are not easily available.

It's good until you are not beigner
The Jawa 42 blends classic charm with a sporty touch. Its 293cc engine offers smooth power, but mileage is around 30-34 kmpl. The low seat height makes it easy to handle, though the stiff suspension can be harsh. Build quality issues and limited service centers affect maintenance. A stylish but high-maintenance choice.
