r/RiverIndieUsers

Hello Indie folks, I am about to join river indie riders list soon, booked river indie online on 8th May,

1. I need help with reference and also do we have anyone from this group purchased from Uppal Hyderabad showroom ?
2. Also how many days it will take to get delivered any idea ?
3. How much time does it take on the delivery day for RTA, paperwork etc etc ?
   Much Thanks

I Pre booked my River Indie last week, but still haven't received any updates. I called the agent a few times and he keeps saying the vehicles haven't been delivered and refuses to give me a date. And then I contacted customer care and they keep connecting me to the showroom, where the answer is same. They even keep saying they don't know anything about their production and supply, they don't know when I'll get my scooter delivered. Is this a common issue every customer is facing, or is Kochi, Kerala River India showroom straight up trash. Let me know you guys thoughts?

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice and validation from fellow River Indie owners here. I’ve had my Indie for less than a month now, and while I love the utility, I am running into two very frustrating issues:

1. Front Suspension Noise: From day one, there has been a prominent, annoying clunking noise coming from the front suspension whenever I ride over basic speed bumps or slightly uneven tarmac. I took it to the local service center, and the service staff literally pointed to 3–4 other Indies parked in the bay and told me, "Look, all of them make this exact same sound. It’s normal for this scooter, so there's nothing to fix."
2. Main Stand Scraping: To make matters worse, the main stand is scraping the ground/bottoming out on even short, minor speed bumps. It feels like the clearance or the spring tension isn't holding it tucked away properly, and I'm worried it's going to cause structural damage over time.
   To me, a widespread manufacturing flaw or design issue doesn't mean it’s "normal" or acceptable on a brand-new vehicle.
   • Has anyone else faced this "it’s a feature, not a bug" excuse from River service regarding the suspension?
   • Is anyone else experiencing the main stand touching the bottom on short speed breakers, and did the service center have a fix for it (like a modified rubber stopper or stronger spring)?
   I’ve already shot an escalation email to River Care (care@rideriver.com), but I wanted to check how common these issues actually are in the community and if anyone has managed to get them successfully resolved.
   Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. I live in Akola Maharashtra. Only stores in Maharashtra are in Ahilyanagar, Kolhapur and Pune. Its a bit far from my home. Even if there was a store in nagpur I would have bought it.

Should I still go for it or should I wait?

Is there any chance river might bring in some advanced braking system through update into their older ev which could replicate the ABS like multiple brake clicks instead of direct brake..

Is there such a possibility mechanically on present disc/drum brakes ?

Coz electrically its possible to make any brake switch on & off multiple times within fraction of seconds...

But will it be able to replicate even 50% of ABS ? IF YES THEN We got a winning solution to all the EV scooters out there on roads riding with OTA updates.

I have been using Ather from the last few years and am buying another scooty. Is indie river better than Ather? If yes, then how?

Planning to book a River Indie from River Store Bommanahalli soon and wanted to check a few things with existing owners:

1.How was your overall buying/delivery experience from this store specifically?

2.Any issues with PDI, registration, accessories, delivery timelines, or service experience?

3.What was the best on-road price you managed to get recently?

4.Were you able to negotiate/free-add any accessories?

I’m currently getting it for around ₹1.68L including accessories. Wanted to know if this is a good deal before I finalize the booking.

Also, if anyone has a referral code/link, please DM me. Thanks!

Going to book my River Indie, today. Any suggestions or tips, on how to save some money or discounts? Also anything else to keep in mind, should I go for additional warranty, road side assistance, and other accessories, apart from phone holder?

Whats the major difference between these technologies?

Which is good for long term and less maintenance?

I am planning to buy river indie in bangalore and i heard in the other subreddits that I could get some referral code here??? Is it true?
