There can be no more uncomfortable situation than when your thrown bun boomerangs back on its own. A similar incident happened recently with Ola Electric, India’s largest two-wheeler EV manufacturer. Ola has been working on its own artificial intelligence or AI chatbot ‘Krutrim’ for the past few months. It went live very recently. An Olar asked the chatbot, which is the best electric scooter in India? In response to that question, the AI chatbot showed their main rival Ather 450X model as the answer instead of Ola.
Ather 450X is the country’s best electric scooter according to Krutrim
The screenshot of the chat was posted by the person on the X platform. After that it went viral. Electric scooters have gained considerable popularity in India. Its level is increasing day by day. Along with Ola, Ather Energy is among the top companies. Hero Vida V1, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak are not mentioned here. Because in terms of smart features, Ola and Ether are a few steps ahead of the rest.
Talking about the Gen3, Artisif said, “This electric scooter offers a powerful electric motor. It produces a maximum power of 87 bhp. A maximum range of 146 km is met as per ARAI tests. It is currently the best electric scooter in the country and has a top speed of 120 kmph.”
While the specifications are slightly inaccurate, Ola’s artificial chatbot also revealed the price in response to the query. The scooter is currently available in two variants – Ather 450 Plus and 450X. Prices start from Rs 1.13 lakh. Needless to say, Ola is quite embarrassed by this incident. However, in terms of sales, they have left their rivals behind. Last month saw 35,000 registrations of the company’s S1 range of electric scooters.
