Tata Nexon (Petrol, Diesel) | MotorInc First S01E12

River Indie Electric Scooter | MotorInc First S01E10
The River Indie is one of the least normal looking electric scooters we've seen yet. No doubt about it. It also happens to approach the scooter challenge from a completely new angle. Which sounds like marketing until you ride it and realise that they're dead serious. The River Indie is an electric scooter that neither wants to wow you with pace, nor impress you with design. It just wants to get to work. Shumi and Kartikeya are discussing this new rival to Ola S1, TVS iQube and Ather 450X in detail on MotorInc First ~ MotorInc First is a discussion between experts Kartikeya Singhee and Shumi (Shubhabrata Marmar), co-founders of MotorInc on new vehicles.

Ather 450S | MotorInc First S01E07

Ather 450S | MotorInc First S01E07
Ather's created a new entry price point into their range with the introduction of the 450S. It looks the same as the more expensive 450X but it has a smaller battery with 90km of range and a clever LCD screen instead of the touchscreen on the X. Ather also uses this smaller battery and lower output motor output configuration to create the Ather 450X middle model which is kinda confusing for sure. Kartikeya and Shumi are discussing the new model and the confusion/opportunity it represents on MotorInc First - MotorInc First is a discussion between experts Kartikeya Singhee and Shumi (Shubhabrata Marmar), co-founders of MotorInc on new vehicles.
