  • does the 450x have built-in music player?
    • No, it can control music on your phone’s playlist (via bluetooth). 3 functions :previous_track_button: :play_or_pause_button: :next_track_button:
  • can I play the song or receive calls through my own set of ear phones (Bluetooth / wired)?
    • You have to listen to songs or receive calls only through some Bluetooth enabled earphones. No wired earphones as there is no 3.5mm jack or USB port for music/phone. There will be no speakers on the scooter either for music/phone.
  • does it capable of playing FM ?
    • No. FM is pre-historic :smiley:

I think you are looking to buy a mobile phone :slight_smile:

  1. No music player
  2. I believe so since the screen showed options to accept/reject calls and control music playback.
  3. No. Does not support FM/AM

Reason to ask this question is it’s known fact that Bluetooth which is inside 450x cannot be paired with the mobile, if it can be paired to play music, then it can be done so for other things too. I think it can only be played through Bluetooth helmet which is going to be released and it can only be paired with the vehicle.

Yes, I have 450 already :wink:

Not sure where you saw this :thinking:

Bluetooth on the dashboard connects to your phone and acts like a remote. You can connect your earphones to your phone to listen to the music.

The smart helmet is an optional accessory.

It’s Ather 450x and not an iphone :grinning:

Not sure how it is “a known fact” when there in not even 1 Ather 450x on the roads. The smart helmet by Ather is only optional. Pair your phone and play it via any BT enabled speaker. Moreover it running an Android of all.

During todays (15.02.2020) open house discussion@chennai It was told that

  1. Ather is planning to introduce another plan (for 450x) for light riders in which monthly subscription will be less than Rs1000 for initial cost of around Rs1.25k such that we will get infinite battery warranty. 2)Under collectors edition of inside out theme,we may be getting scooter with transparent body.
  2. Ather 450x will be available for test ride in less than 6weeks (@ chennai).
  3. Before release to customer, Ather 450x will go test drive (@ roads and under factory conditions) for about 1million kms, get ride data and ensure no bug or correct bugs.
  4. Bluetooth/WiFi is of no use other than pairng to headset and for hearing music or map announcements.No update possible thru it.
  5. In chennai Ather 450x pro will be around Rs11k extra than bengaluru price.

During today’s open house,I felt very bad that ather could have kept a working Ather 450x scooter instead of dummy one in chennai showroom. Even turn on is enough(test ride is not req)to have feel of dashboard. Instead of keeping dummy They can put photo.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:I felt no use.

If the team can introduce all the specs of the pro variant but with lesser range for a better price, then it’s gonna sell like hot cakes.

If you’re compromising on performance and features just to present a lower subscription price then it beats the purpose of investing such a high amount in purchasing the 450X.

I can’t wait to hear to all the specifics of the plan soon.

Thanks for sharing the info @karthikramiyer. Really excited to get to know that @Ather.Team is serious about the feedback that we share in the forum. Under 1k subscription or pay as you use subscription makes sense. 99k + ( less than 1k ) does make sense

AtherEnergy and team may be getting in right direction if done this way. To cut across section of riders irrespective of user, there may be more adoption. That’s why they seem to take a changed approach. They started realising the sentiments now if they are thinking this way. Appreciate these welcome steps.

It won’t be 99k + 1k a month. The upfront cost of 1.49/1.59L remains the same. For the subscription, we’re looking at something similar to 1.3L upfront and around 1k a month subscription.

collectors edition with transparent body … waiting for it …

1 million Km’s testing

Hope people who preordered can have a chance to buy and help Ather in testing vehicle in real world conditions

Yesterday i requested Tarun to have a upfront buying option plan (other than Pro and Plus) given the customer to select the features(bluetooth, TPMS, WiFi,Top speed,Warp mode,Range etc) as add on.Each customer will be having their own wishes.As the features are software progrmmable it will not be a problem for Ather.This is the way Tesla is also following and that also sounds better. Let customer choose what is needed and pay accordingly.Everybody in this forum may vote and ask ather team so that they’ll consider the same. This can be made applicable for subscription plans also. Is this sounds better? @acorreya
