What to watch
- Owner-review trends on panel gaps, rattles, brake feel, range accuracy and post-sales turnaround time.
- Delivery volumes and booking-to-delivery conversion by Wave variant and city.
- Changes in launch pricing, dealer incentives, finance schemes or accessory bundles.
- Service-center expansion, spare-parts availability and warranty-policy updates.
- Competitor price cuts or new long-range launches from Ola, Ather, TVS, Bajaj and other electric-scooter brands.
- Regulatory or insurance changes affecting electric two-wheeler purchase economics.
- Prioritize pre-delivery quality audits for body panels, switches, fasteners, braking performance and software calibration.
- Make variant differentiation explicit in retail: usable real-world range, charging time, warranty, service intervals and total ownership cost rather than IDC range alone.
- Use test rides to foreground handling, storage and ride comfort while training sales staff to transparently set expectations on range and charging.
- Track early owner complaints by batch and geography; deploy mobile service and fast parts replenishment before social-media complaints become a brand narrative.
- Protect higher-variant pricing with bundled warranty, roadside assistance and charging/service benefits rather than broad cash discounts.
