• EV Hill Climb EP 4: Ma...
Electric two-wheeler sales have been growing every month and their popularity among the Indian masses has grown exponentially. This has to do with the introduction of many premium EV two-wheelers that not only offer good performance, but usable range and come loaded with features. We have done many real-world EV two-wheeler tests on ZigWheels, both individually and as a comparison. However, there has always been one key question - are EVs useful on hilly areas or mountain roads.
This got us curious and for this very reason we are here today. What we have with us are the most popular and most premium EV scooters on sale in India - Ola S1 Pro, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and the Ather 450X. The EV hill climb test is simple, which electric scooter among these can go up and down the hill and clock the highest range. The results are very surprising!

Please do a hill climb test of all these EV scooters with pillion at back seat
They have put dumbel
@@bhoomeshchandola7544 That was to compensate for the lighter drivers in comparison to other.
And dumbbells don't weigh as much an average pillion if so.
Evs are not yet ready for those kind of pillion rider+ hill riders.
Currently they are safe alternative for raising prices for daily commute .
I suggest pillion to get their own scooter.
Ola bhul jao it's eco mode is like low speed hero it cannot even get out of potholes with pillion in eco mode if stuck.
DTE for iQube was accurate after the descent because it adjusts to the current conditions, it's dynamic. If the scooter was going further down with the same slope, it'd have increased further because not a lot of battery was getting used. :)
Correct
In 2024 why iqube price is increasing
TVS iQube is awesome EV👍 I've driven iQubeS 30,000km till now with a top speed of 89kmph & its giving good range of 105-110km in eco mode.. Suspension & performance top notch.. Regenerative breaking system is working like a pro.. Awesome technology
Cant agree more...I also owns Tvs icube...and performance wise it never dissapoints..one key observation after consuming 50% battery speed get reduced by 3-5 kmph. Regen works like wonders 👌👌👌
True
+1
My ola S1 pro gives 120-125 kms in normal mode and i don't drive very sedately 🤷so yeah we can see who stands where
TVS Iqube driven 800 kms .. performance beats ola 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eco mode in Ola is just name sake.
Actually normal is the default mode.
Regen has improved greatly in MoveOS 3
no its not in bengaluru its works great
No bro actually it's City mode. Eco mode is perfect for City rides.
Eco mode is only for flat roads.
@zigwheels when going downhill in ola it's recommended to apply cruise control at 30 , range will increase once you go down...in mysore on top of nandi temple my range was 87Km 13 kms later after coming downill...my range was 91 km...so ya cruise control in downhill is the best way to extract awesome regen...but again now in the new update you also have variable regen settings..for better regen
I felt in ola, eco mode is useful only on inch by inch moving traffic. Once can switch to eco mode from normal mode after reaching some speed. Pickup is nonsense but cruisability is good. After 30 kmph speed the pick up is good in eco mode .
I heard in Move OS 3.0 update speed is increased to 45 kmph and slightly better torque in eco mode. Also regen kicks from 90% battery than 75% in the current version.
Yes looking forward to mos3
@@premprabhakar805 yup.. I'm having MOS 3 beta.. regen is sooooo good now.. you have option to choose between 3 regen mode.. I've kept it to high regen.. and it's so good. I rarely use brakes now
True brother.
I have got move OS 3 and I'm enjoying every feature of it.
Agreed with you👍
I use an Ola S1 pro daily for 60kms and using it for past 4 mnths...so far haven't had any major problems...the eco mode is just for inter city drive...Normal mode is the best..i also have an Ather in the family and since i am 6ft n its a pain to use Ather due to the knee space..
Only a idiot does a hill test on Eco mode, this video is biased
Aapse call par bat ho sakti hai sir ?ola ka review laina hai
Bro i am using ola for 1 year 30000+ km not faced major problem yet but body build quality feels cheap
This is exactly what I'm looking for in all TH-cam! I live in a hilly area and was deliberating whether an electric scooter would bode well for me. Thanks so much Zigwheels!!!
@Arun Nadar Hi Arun, please try with maximum payload on incline mountain rides of all EVs possible., I am looking to purchase Ola s1(regular)
@@MegaSandeep2000 dont buy ola its not worthit rather buy tvs iqube it have both performance and looks.
I had booked Chetak and then cancelled and buyed iQube due to fluctuating Chetak prices. Iqube gives me consistent range of around 100 to 110 KM per charge for single rider, which is more than sufficient for city rides. Also the suspension setup and pickup is best among all for daily ride. Its also less priced. I am happy with my purchase and this video backed my decision.
Buy an Jupiter or raider instead, great mileage, great pickup
Ola s1 only 1 lakhs and has better features than iqube
@@gowthamv7856 ola is waste of money in long run
Yeah IQUBE feels like normal vehical and riding n jumper r better thn other evs.. N built quality is also good
@@gowthamv7856 ola S1 ? Puri bettry khatam ho jayegi 90 km tak aate aate.. Try it
Proud owner of TVS iqube s it's a all rounder scooty with worthy price tag
We recently did Pune-Mumbai-Pune trip in OLA S1 pro with Move OS 3 and Man the performance is excellent! Faced no problem whatsoever even in the steepest Mumbai -Lonavla Ghats. Really OLA S1 is superb in these Hilly condition while delivering the excellent range.
Kitne paise mile. It's in eco my ola stuck in potholes with pillion cannot get out in eco. Normal is minimum you drive and mileage obviously off the claimed
@@fakirinvestor8814 Ola is best EV today's date I don't understand why content creator spreading hate for Ola scooters🤦
@@fakirinvestor8814 Bro First of all Try to understand the use case of ECO mode ! also the ECO mode in Move OS 3 is quiet improved the Acceleration is faster and also the Top speed is now 42Kmph.
And also what kitne paise mile !?
I bought OLA from my hard earned money and loving every single Bit of it. Also after completing the Pune-Mumbai Trip i have some next level confidence for my Scooter!
@@user-zq8sf5lx4x Yes they are all Paid Bots try to bring down OLA
@@shubhamjaiswal3029 I will still wait for TVS iQube ST
Not everyone use regen the same way. Some use it lot more efficiently than others. Ola regen is actually very good, it doesn't even consume 1% battery in such downhills. In fact, it's common to see the battery increase. Maybe switch the riders between chetak and ola, test again. And this time entirely in normal mode.
@Arun Nadar Even my s1 pro gains battery while i am on a downhill run. I haven't been on hills after move OS 3 beta(Now you get 3 modes of regen) but the regen has been improved a lot.
I agree. Havent used electeic vehicles much, but repeating tests multiple times with different riders is a common practice during serious performance tests.
Also, rather than only finding which scooter is the best, I think it is equally or more important to find out the best combination of
riding style + scooter + riding mode.
Maybe even find the best way to extract the best mileage from each scooter..
I saw in another video where a Tata Nexon EV gave better mileage in Drive mode than eco mode when a certain person drove it.
Ola is cheap brand don't talk much about it
Yes. Ola is best in .Regen
I have used a iqube.
It's regen is on another level, best regen.
Iqube is engineering wise a masterpiece.
I can guarantee that If you cruise at 20 in normal mode in ola S1 pro it'll deliver best performance on hilly region
Buddy minimum speed for cruise control is 30 💀
Tvs iqube impressed me.....🔥
Actually Ola 's normal mode is other EVs Eco mode. Ola Eco mode was introduced later.
Exactly
This was a surprise.. TVS did it again👍🏻
TVS never boasted anything like these new comers bomb machines brands, because real work is done in solitude. Let the world decide to choose better for them. Rest will be history.
Tvs always think about the quality and real functional value of the vehicle.
@@AnkitKumar-qb7rw yeah particularly that OLA is very high on useless false advertisements
Well tvs can't do much with IC engines 🤣🤣so I'm guessing EV is where they may be able to do something
@@neoanderson4840 Lol that was just a lie
After a long time saw a well thought and structured video. Keep it up guys!
Excellent. Well done test with good controls to ensure fair testing. Good to see Indian channels coming up with quality videos
Thanks for making my choice TVS
As booked TVS and your video provided it right 😎
That is the power of TVS iqube 🔥
Because practically i experienced, when I went to nandhi hills (Chickballapura)
Alone or with pillion?
from which location u hv travelled to Nandi hills ? How much distance was covered ?
@@sandeepsharma-vs5jf with pillion , total weight 140kg
@Arun Nadar At the time of climbing the hills it consumes more battery i.e 10km.
But when i am returning due to heavy Region (Battery recharge when u leave the throttle) it compensate full km which was lost at time of climbing the hills.
Believe me guys u can feel the power of TVS iqube 🔥
@@YouAreOnTH-cam Total 60 km from Doddaballapur (Banglore rural)
Eco mode of Ola is not equal to eco mode in those other scooters!
True but but tvs sponsors youtubers but ola doesn't.
1. the DTE of the iQube was actually the accurate one out of the rest, as it would calibrate itself as per the ongoing ride to show respective DTE, whether uphill or downhill. I'm surprised Arun scoffed at it. I expected them to have the basic common sense to understand that much.
2. The iQube S itself is so impressive. the iQube ST will blow the competition out of the water. Can't wait to see it.
Hahaha..Hub Motor fails in 5 years and lots of problems
@@technocrazy8360 okay
@Arun Nadar damnnn. It's like you write a comment about your professor and you get a reply from him who's read the comment 🤧🤧😂😂 that was unexpected. But thanks for the clarification Arun. I didn't mean to sound rude in the initial comment. My apologies. Nice work with the video anyways. Good day!
The information was very informative and you should carry on this test every quarter as their are upgradation in all the scooters every now and then. Before watching this video I was confused on which scooter to buy but now it's clear. Thanks
Loved the real life test! Amazing work guys!
Best practical test of EV scooters. Keep it up 👍
Wow! Great One! TVS always leads! The difference between automobile companies making scooters is evident here!
It’s kinda dumb to compare Eco Mode of Ola to the ones of TVS, Ather and Bajaj.
The Ola S1 Pro easily climbs hills in Normal Mode without overheating whatsoever. We Ola Mumbai Owners did Bhor Ghat without any heating issues at all.
Was myself stunned about the crap circulating online about heating issues. Normal Mode is the Default mode I’d say !
JUST USE NORMAL MODE ON THE OLA S1 PRO ON HILLS
Note : Don’t ever use Sports or Hyper Mode on Hills (else you might get reduced performance) on hills . TBH it’s not needed on hills
@Arun Nadar i think he talking about how you overhyped the issue that the ola has stopped working don't you think that the results would have been same with Chetak if it didn't turn to normal mode it self ?
Instead of doing all that drama he should have just turned on the normal mode before.
Why ola users are so toxic 🤔
@@indarvishnoi2389 yup
@Arun Nadar Ola's handling is unbeatable in the scooter segment ✅
Tvs and ice makers pays yotubers to create favorable content which ola does not
I have attended many rides with Bernard & I must say he is one gem of a person (and a great rider indeed).
Hey bud, thanks a lot for the kind words! :)
Best comparison till now for EV. And i hv already IQUBE 😁😁👍
I live in a very hilly state i.e Meghalaya and i own an ola S1pro. I like the ola in performance, range and features but i have one complain, my ola s1 pro overheats after 5-6 kms of uphill climb and i have to stop for 15 minutes before continuing on my journey.
Eco mode is useless in hilly terrain, it should be discontinued. U r right about ola s1 pro i.e u get to utilize only 85% .
I also live in meghalaya and plan to get ather 450x from guwahati. How much range do you get with s1 pro in shillong bro? I know on paper and reviews it's much higher but here in shillong I bet it might be lower.
@@newtonsthirdlawofmot drive for your self don't believe blindly? Take a tes drive
@@newtonsthirdlawofmot u get about 85km because the remaining 15% is useless , it goes into eco mode automatically after SOC drops to 15%
@@sony5244 thanks for the detailed explanation. I booked ola s1 pro 10 months ago but cancelled the booking as soon as I saw it has heating issues and up hill pickup problem
I'm from meghalaya too. Ola S1 pro will be useless in a hilly area like meghalaya. Dnt fall for paid comments by any ola users...they are just like Modi supporters who are often called "andhbhakts"😂. I would rather suggest you to go for TVs IQuibe.
Thanks zig wheels for the content & Hard work dat you guys are doin 👍👍👍
Great review with checkpoints.. kudos to the entire team!!
Good to know that TVS performance was excellent. May be TVS is falling short in marketing the product
A Proud TVS Iqube Owner...😎
crazy good drone shots. oof the intro was top notch.
Great video, well thought!
Glad you liked it!!
First time I feel that a like to this video is not enough. Such hard work kudos team
One more additional factor you guys missed, while ola chetak and ather were having thier top end model, iqube was having the lower end model. Iqube ST is something that we should lookout for
icube ST is not available yet. 😅
Iqube ST model not yet available, it has been unveiled. Don't know when it will be available
Blame TVS for that.
@@sudhakar6219 its been delayed they have closed booking as well. I enquired before going for S1 pro.
@@storm2vega not exactly blame S1.... Instead, one can compare base variants of this scooters...
You could have tested performance/warp/hyper mode. Eco mode is only for hypermiling, that too in plains.
Anyways good effort.
@Arun Nadar lol how you can think that eco is optimal for hill? What's the logic? Do you drive in 4th or 5th gear in hill?
The videography, music, bgm, and location make this video entertaining and informative for consumers who want to buy an EV, thank you.
Firstly I thank zig wheels for this amazing kind of review...this video helped alot to get rid of confused among viewers like me
Very well thought and a very helpful video. Thank you for this video also please Ask TVS to supply more of their Iqube as it not available at most of the places which is a huge drawback.. Thank you team of Zigwheels - Love from Himachal :)
they wont untill 2026
@Arun Nadar :) Well good work should be appreciated so Thank you for the video. As for suggestion , May be do the same challenge for the ruggedness of vehicle like with pillion and with no limit's of modes or the highest mode active in all. People while driving won't stick to a particular mode so may be something of that sort. Once again Great video :) Good luck !!
after watching this video I bought ICube. one day delivery . even I don't live in metro city.
@@unknownguy2829 city
@Arun Nadar lol , you people believe any thing ice manufacturers say, seling Activa, Apache, is no problem and even being so old company selling less than ola(whom you people have prejudice) is pathetic, they know they will loose money on ev in long run due to no service trap
imo, TVS iQube perform the very best.
Also in uphill ride TVS showed low range because of heavy usage of power but in downhill road it showed the perfect range. So maybe the ECU or whatever the chip inside the TVS iQube performs better than other company EVs as it can do perfect calculations of range.
I think other EVs just calculate range according to the battery percentage.
Meanwhile iQube calculations are better than others
awesome video thanks for this kind of efforts you guys made for this video. 👍🏻
My Tvs icube clocked 110km range with 93% battery on full eco mode on normal terrian. Did a ride with 3 (Load appx 150kg) on hilly terrain and hit 71km with 15% power to spare. Eco & Regen combined works wonders.!!
For any EV the more you twist the throttle the higher the battery consumption. Even though the Ather shows more range on the dash in Eco it generally gives higher range in ride or sports mode when riding sedately. So suppose you are using 80% throttle to achieve 35kmph in eco and 40% throttle to achieve the same speed in Sports mode, the sports mode will return a higher range despite whatever figure is shown on the dash. Try the test in Sports mode and keeping speeds between 30 to 35kmph and you may see completely different results for both range and drivability. Cheers!!
👍👍👍
Are you sure about this . I am using eco mode but didn't know this . Please let me know which mode is best to travel everyday . I travel 45 km every day
True
@@aswinbiju9563 okay but what's that donot ??
No eco mode restricts acceleration which helps with the battery. If you accelerate to 40 kmph in 2 sec vs 40 kmph in 4 sec, the 4 sec acceleration takes up more energy and is less efficient
Amazing informative and full of efforts video...🔥🔥🙌
I have an OLA S1 PRO , and I have ridden it for 30,000 km so far without any problems. Only thing is build quality feels cheap otherwise ok❤
That was great, and yes a pleasent surprise that the old world manufacturer from Madras beat everyone! Wonderful
Now what I would have liked to know is the ride position and quality. After a whole day of driving up and down the hill how did the drivers feel?!! Which bike was most comfortable and which one gave a backache!!
This comparison was really helpful and found the best.
Thank you, hope you have subscribed :)
Excellent comparo guys, very helpful for making a decision. Please try the same with pillion rider too.
Nothing wrong with iQube's DTE, it is dynamic, during uphill it will show very low DTE due to high energy consumption, while during downhill it will recalibrate itself to show DTE according reduced consumption.
Definitely agree bro..
What are the best charging practices for EV scooters in particular TVS iQube to ensure longevity for battery?
Massalah...
Thanks a loddd sir,
This is wt we all r in need of, direct comparing all in different different conditions.... One of the best vdo ....
Keep it up...give us more informative vdo..
First of all Liked the video soo much!!!. 👍🏻👍🏻
Some suggestions for upcomings' :
1. Hill Climbing as well as downhill "regen" test with a pillion.
2. Performance test including time lap, riding dynamics, handling, etc. (In performance mode)
3. Hill Hold test as far for the Ola>>(no compulsion)
4. *""Most Interesting""* loading/carrying capacity test to the max in their most aggressive mode.
I have ola s1 pro and I live in a hilly area and i run around 100km a day mostly in normal mode and i don’t find any lack of power even in eco mode
All the dought in mind about all electric scooter are clear in this video now I m free to decide to buy a tvs i qube without any question thank bro 🤜🤜
Nice comparison.. These videos are really wanted to make buying decision.. Good job
We would like to see ur next EV comparison video including Hero Vida and Simple energy One are included. Because these scooters are creating too hype for the loger rage. 🔥🔥🔥
Simple one is myth ...
Using icube for 1 month....
performance🤩
Big point is value for money 🥰
Ola is way better value for money than that crappy TVS
Excellent video idea! Loved it!
did you guys test this with move os 3.0? it has improved eco and normal mode
That's why I chose TVS Iqube S over the other models. Value for money.
What is the onroad price bro? Including insurance, rto etc with charger for i qube s varient
@@chandan-ve8vr Rs.1.30 lakh on road, including accessories.
I love Ola EV, I am using it and I believe it offers so much better range than these EVs.
Any update from your sources on availability of Hero Vida V1 in Maharashtra?
Valuable information for EV lovers ..for who want to adopt EVs now or in future...thank u
Well my brother booked the Ather 450 in mid 2018 and when it was delivered it was all good as he was in Bangalore and electric scooty is good for plains. But as Corona started he had to work from home and by the way we live in Bijanbari (Darjeeling), well he came home as IT's started implementing work from home and he brought his scooty too (packers and movers). Well that scooty was a show case out here! But really after a month or so it started heating a lot. At first from bijanbari to darjeeling seemed OK that is almost 24kms up hill. We had to carry the charger which was to heavy and bulky (well smaller one was available but my brother didn't buy it) and here there are no charging docks, we literally had to stop by shops asking them if they could lend us their points for us to charge, but ppl out here is generous they say okay everytime, we usually gave them 100 rs , but after 7 to 8 trips it really started heating and usually stopped multiple times in mid-way and that too on our 1 way trip that is 12 to 15 kms from starting point not the whole return round trip. We usually make 2 trips max from bijanbari to darjeeling a month so that scooty didn't last long and totally stopped riding long roads well 24 kms is not enough but in hills that battery doesn't last long, it has that power but the batter and I guess the motor too need 10x improvement. And by the way only one seater in up hill if two people sits it won't last long it heats up bad and totally stops and doesn't pull at all, even one seater is too is risky, my brother had to leave the scooty multiple times mid way as it started overheating and stopped multiple times that too on one way trip up hill not both return trip and the battery consumption would be at least 60 to 65% for 12 to 15 kms can you imagine? Lol but my bike saved the day everytime. We left the scooty on spot as usual spot were we had tea and some snacks and my brother would ride with me and when we returned he had to turn off the scooty down hill to save the battery as sometimes there are up hills again when you go back to bijanbari. Well bijanbari is a valley so there are many ups and downs! So the moral of this story : DON'T BUY ELECTRIC SCOOTY IF YOU LIVE IN HILLS AND THAT TOO STEEP HILLS! YOU WILL REGRET IT! Electric scooty is only good for plains and hills that are not too steep.
I like petrol scooty for long ride fill up and go
Eco is not the default mode of ola. Clearly aimed at defaming ola
Clearly Ather, iCube and Bajaj also are not eco by default. It was fair test you ola fan boy
@@newtonsthirdlawofmot ather, iqube, bajaj's default modes are eco only. I guess you don't own any 😂
@@bigapple5842 have you ever heard of Ather, icube and chetak normal mode? Or even sport mode? Clearly all these can go uphill on eco but your favorite Ola can't even climb in eco 🤣🤣
@@newtonsthirdlawofmot yeah that's why eco is not the default mode of Ola. Normal is.
@@bigapple5842 cuz Ola eco mode is 💩💩💩 but others eco is 🔥🔥🔥
I am using TVS iqube from last 3 months. I can say buy thus vehicle was the best decision I took in 2022.
Normal mode is the default mode in ola. Eco mode provided for low battery situation and slow drive with long distance drive.
Another comparison video from ZigWheels, you guys are awesome. But one question, Karthikeya and Jehan kaha chle gye?? Missing Arun vs Jehan bike bickering videos 🤣🤣🤣
@Arun Nadar whattttttt 😲😲😲 Kartik left 😲😲
I live in a hilly area. I have a 45oX Gen2. And I have been satisfied with the experience so far. The best thing about the ather is it's ability to get up steep hills with ease, even with a pillion rider. The gradeability numbers officially released by these companies indicate Ather to be good at tackling steep hills, and it shows. But I don't know what the limit is, and I don't know how the other scooters fare. So, it'll be great to have a proper check on the gradeability of the vehicles also during hill climb challenges. It's quite insightful to people living in hilly areas because some rural roads have inclines that seem stupidly impossible to cross over, but petrol 2 wheelers seem to be able tackle it. So, for people living in such places considering to buy an electric 2 wheeler, it'll be a very important factor for consideration.
The only thing which stops me fromm getting that is price and a low battery compared to ola
@@haroonpaul1997its still worth it
Continue driving in city at evening traffic hours with pillion & in normal mode. Plz include Vida 1 also.!!
BTW this was Great video🤟🏻
TVS iqube his the best EV .
I'm using this scooter and allready covered 30k km within 2 years.Performance of the scooter was awesome.
Hypermiling best done on higher modes, lower speeds. So less stress on motor and BMS temperature will be managed. Reason for this is, lower modes have a speed limit eg: 51km/h in eco mode for Ather 450X, so when nearing that speed it uses more electrical resistance to keep the speed limited which results in more heat snd more battery energy consumption.
Exactly. And this is also the reason why I never recommend anyone to use Eco or Ride mode.
I totally agree with this. It really hurts my shoulder to pull the throttle to max-ish. So I started driving Ola S1 Pro in Sports Mode only, this helps with same speeds at less pull of the throttle. And to my surprise Sports Mode is using 2-3% less battery than Normal mode. If I use Sports Mode and I'm driving under 80 kmph (Normal Mode's) max speed I still get the same/better range. Reviewers should test this theory as well. Why not drive on best ride Modes while maintaining the speed of 40 kmph and then report the results?
@@palpankajpal yeah. Wrists really hurt on long ride if we're on eco. Sports or warp we can use minimal throttle to get same speed and also get maximum range.
@@palpankajpal That is an excellent point. Ride at 40kmph in a mode where top speed is 80kmph. Best usage pattern
@@palpankajpal I have got 95km range in 98% battery for Ather 450X Gen 2 (85km true range). This was done in sports mode alone and speed between 40-45kmph and very occasionally overtaking in 60kmph. Since it is in sports mode, no need to change modes as well. Ample acceleration to 60kmph
You forgot that the real big brother of them all, TVS iQube ST is still watching you from.the sidelines. That should beat Ola S1 Pro hands down
Nice content, yes with pillion and atleast 15 kg of additional payload would be an ideal usage scenario(even though that may not be a recommendation)
I'm looking for an ev scooter and this video will definitely help. One thing, could you please try the climbs in sports mode. This could find out the best heat management scooter
My personal analysis of these scooters also brought me the understanding that iCube is an all-rounder among them. Good Looks, Scooter Body quality, Good performance, Proper Scooter feel (Unlike the other Bacha scooter feel of ola & ather), overall performance be it city, highway or hills, TVS brand weight behind it and very Lucrative Pricing ✌🏻❤️
Good to see your Extensive Real life testing Oroving that point too 🙂
When we Deep Drive in to Specifications iqube is having BLDC Motor which is wheel mounted and where as chetak is having AC PMSS Motor, so during rainy days it may affect bldc motor as it mounted on wheels where as AC PMSS motor are better in performance and even they are costly compared to bldc and not mounted on wheel . An end user of iqube can tell better on its performance during rainy days . Are there any issues come or no
@ zigwheels i have recently shifted to Lavasa itself and I’m looking forward to get an electric scooter for daily commute… how would the Ola s1 pro gen 2 be? What according to you would be the best choice?
That's a good test , Kudos to your effort
Ola gives an amazing performance whether it's in a hilly area or on a paved road.
Great comparison. TVS I Cube looks like a proper scooter and wins the dependability test. It can face a terrific challenge when Honda comes out with its Electric Activa scooter. Like all Honda products, their electric scooter too might finally lead all other vehicles in dependability.
It will never happen ev is a different league.
Cut the crap that TVS is junk, ola is the best in every way
@@c.bulakh6231 Ola sheeps 😂
Awesome video was really exciting 🤩 Please make the same type of video with revolt RV 400 and Kratos r ... Its range test and performance!! 🙏
Hill climb/slope is a much required video is all EVs, be it 2 wheeler or 4 wheeler.
Eagerly waiting for Simple one review 👍👍👍
i guess ola won technically... because it was in eco mode for the first 2 check points which resulted in ola loosing points.. eco mode is only for cities and not hilly areas... normal mode is the default mode in ola....
That one shot where EVs were standing between Rusted petrol pumps was very well thought 👌👌
yep and the one where the EVs were standing ahead of IC Scooter scrap.
@@toofani well IC engines do have many advantages above EVs, so better you dont call them scrap
Excellent content informative and entertaining keep it up.
That RE classic chrome looks so good 💖
Ola be like - Haan mai Baazigar 😎😂
The Classic 350 just standing there and thinking, "kya kachra hai yeh sab, let me shred these climbs!".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
You guys should have done the regen from 0% to downhill....
Just a suggestion...would actually show which ev has best regen and how range it can earn back.
Awesome video.. Really helpful.
ola scooter regen activates after 75 percent so theres no use of regen test in this video
This was a really good concept and execution. This shows the hidden negatives of new companies where as TVS is and will remain OGs of 2 wheelers even with new technology 😂
Excellent practically tested keep it up for public works 👍
Liked the way you worked hard to derive the performance of all ev scooters. Requesting you to please more in details in another video about reliability durability motor type BLDC or ac bcoz ac motors are better in all aspects where as blrd are mounted on wheel which is likely to affect performance during rainy days. So make another video on specifications aspects pls thanks
I was rooting for TVS❤ Already have their Jupiter.
When did you buy Jupiter?
What is your feedback about Jupiter?
@@Rajasekar-kv3eg amazing bro amazing space. I bought it in 2014 and still going good.
Ola should have been tested with normal mode , its good enough to climb the hill
Very good video keep it up 😊
Super video, excellent work. Subscribed 😁
Thank you buddy :)
Proud to be 😊TVS owner ❤
