                  My opinion
                  It has clean finishing good looking, thin having, good mileage, having better features than any other petrol scooter, it is electric vehicle it is sports scooter so it has modes too fast charging service centre is available. I had done something around 12000 km driven this scooter for long ride it isn't good it is slightly uncomfortable it could give you back pain and scooter may could get heat if you are riding in the summer weather. This scooter isn't for long ride but if you want this for going to college, school or for work it's good vehicle. This scooter looks attractive and has good enough speed to reach the destination. Its good scooter you can go for it if you want.

                  Comfort and suspension
                  The performance of the scooter is very good and powerful full motor is amazing. My daily riding is 40 km and I very happy with the Ather and the range also very good. Charge also fast please check it once who is going to buy this. The suspension and comfort except to be better. The suspension not that much good in broken road or in village area it needs to be better. Ather energy need to look in their comfort and the suspension. Very highly recommend to buy this product I'm using this scooter since 6 month no complaint in this. Very much better than Ola and service also very good and not that much costly and offers also very good.

                  How a New Bike Brought Back My Love for Quiet Roads
                  We started going on evening rides together, exploring quiet streets and city lights. The bike handles turns and short stops really well, and the ride feels smooth and controlled even at night. Makes city rides relaxed and fun. Evening couple rides are now a regular thing. The bike is easy to maneuver through traffic, handles corners nicely, and gives a comfortable, steady ride on calm streets. Perfect for relaxed city rides. We enjoy exploring the city after sunset. The bike responds well to small detours, stops easily, and feels stable on turns. It makes long evening rides stress-free and enjoyable. It stays steady on turns and handles small detours well.

                  The future on a sleek electric ride
                  I wanted bike that could help me reduce my carbon footprint and also be fun to ride. During weekend mee up, a fellow rider showed me his Ather 450X and I immediately loved the sleek design and quiet ride. The futuristic dashboard with navigation and app integration made it feel like it belonged to the future. I realized this was not just a bike but companion for both work and leisure so I booked it the same week. I use it for daily office rides, grocery trips and even short weekend rides with the friends. The acceleration is punchy, braking is smooth and the handling is perfect for city roads. Once I took ride to a nearby park and the battery comfortably lasted for the trip without stress. Yes definitely. For anyone who wants eco friendly ride the 450X is ideal. The battery, comfort and handling make it perfect for both city and short weekend rides. If you are thinking of switching to an electric bike the Ather 450X is smart investment.

                  Zero fuel cost, happy mornings
                  I moved into congested part of the city where petrol stations feel like treasure hunts. My friend who switched to an Ather 450X told me about zero fuel costs and super silent rides. That convinced me. I also love doing little morning errands grocery, coffee, work so an electric bike that charges at home made sense. The 450X felt like the perfect eco friendly sidekick. Riding it every day has been such a peaceful change. The instant torque means I zoom past slow autos easily and the regenerative braking helps while the riding downhill. Charging overnight at home gives me more than enough range for my daily trips. Plus the touchscreen dashboard is surprisingly useful I check battery, navigation and ride stats before heading out. Yes for sure especially for city commuters who care about sustainability and want to cut down on fuel bills. If you have a safe place to charge at home or work this bike is a dream. For someone who doesn’t do really long highway rides daily but needs responsiveness, good build quality and futuristic feel the 450X is a very smart pick. I always suggest it to everyone and one day in temple parking I suggested it to one shopkeeper because he asked about my bike, few days ago I see he bought it.

                  Good bike for youngsters
                  Good handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.

                  My pulsar NS 160 is still in excellent condition with all documents and riding experience is awesome and bike is also fast and reliable. It also offers dual channel Abs and it has less maintenance cost and it gives immense pleasure to ride. Bike mileage is about 40 kmpl and full tank costs nearly 1k only and this is the best bike, I have ever rode in my life.

                  good bike but need some improvements.
                  The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.

                  Review of my 6 years old NS160
                  I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.
