Since I'm dedicated purely to scooters, I feel both hope and a bit of wistfulness at the wave of electrification. But with Ather steering from premium to mass-market and Hero pouring in over 10 billion rupees, this is clearly for real now. The everyday people's transport is being replaced by EVs. I'm watching the moment Asia's street scenery changes with mixed feelings, but genuinely excited too.

With the announcement in late August, there's probably still a wait before we see the actual bike.

Is Community Day basically an announcement event of some kind?

Right, it's basically the motorcycle version of an Apple keynote in feel.

If they're going for mass sales, they're probably going to push hard on price too.

With even Hero investing seriously now, India's EV push is genuinely in full swing.

I doubt Ola Electric and the like will stay quiet about this either.

Curious how genuinely new the new EL platform actually is under the surface.

1,000 crore converted to yen is a pretty massive sum.
