Isn’t this the data privacy breach? Anyone can see our VIN details, our documents are uploaded on the dash. In developed countries, this would attract legal penalties.

Yeah… had thoughts on the similar lines. But people can look you up with the registration number anyway.
I also faced this on one occasion

Yesterday morning saw my dashboard is switched on. Seems whole night it was on. Anybody can see our details like documents and VIN. Ather please make sure OTA should properly tested before rolling out to the customer. If this continues we lost hope on the Ather. If it is minimal update also please check throughly.
Dashboard turning and staying on when there vehicle is not turned on has been an ongoing issue with my ather450x ever since I bought it. It is a privacy issue given Ather gives us the choice to upload any picture/document. We park the vehicle anywhere and it shouldn’t invite the attention of miscreants.
But on official apps like parivahan you do not get the complete information. Your name will be missing out a couple of letters in between. Also. You would have also stored a copy of your DL which has your complete address, DoB, etc. Identity fraud is easy.

What range can we expect cruising at 60kmph on highways, anyone can tell based on experience? Can we get around 70-80 given the tyre pressure is optimum and the acceleration is constant Similarly for 40,50 and 70kmph?
Various factors affect range other than speed alone. Such as
- Weight of the rider
- Acceleration
- Gradient
- Riding Style (Acceleration and deceleration)
- Tyre Pressure (which you mentioned)
I have been riding 450 for more than 2 years now and based on my experience, answers for your question are as below
- At speed of 40kmph - 100+km
- At speed of 50kmph - 90km
- At speed of 70kmph - 70~80km
Note, above are just rough number and it may differ from person to person. However Ather gives you different Ride Mode by which your range is guaranteed to certain extent.

I weigh 58kilos,road gradient is very less not absolutely flat though,I will accelerate to slow and will not apply brakes if unneccasdary,tyre pressure will be maintained optimum,if I can get at least 10km less range of what u mentioned on ur 450 with 450x of mine in these conditions it is more than enough, really appreciate all of ur replies to my questions,thank you And given ur experience and my conditions and 450x slightly bigger battery I should be able to get atleast 10km less than what u get

May I know at what power mode you use to get the riding range
In fact 450x has better efficiency and bigger battery than 450. Range should not be an issue at all.
We will get to know when we ride sir, hope everything goes as expected
Sir are you on the Telegram group or could you give me your number? for more such questions, I wud like to talk over a call and put all the plan details and location details to you

I think one thing that people fail to factor in when they calculate their 70+ 80+ Km ranges is the traffic situation. The number of times you have to start and stop and start again in traffic (especially in Bangalore) is not considered at all in many posts I see on this forum. They talk about long rides etc on smooth roads with minimal stops. In real life situations according to me the range is much lower. Even lower than the true range.
Within Bangalore itself, owners who use the Ring road extensively would get better efficiency vs those who use interior roads or main thoroughfares inside the city.

I think it should be the opposite of we consider EVs,and ryt if we consider ices

The 450 series has very little regen power and has to be manually triggered, unlike a 4w EV where you can almost do single pedal driving.
When I drive through KR Puram/Tin Factory in peak hours, my efficiency takes a hit due to the frequent stop-start that I need to do. Every time I come to a stop I have to spend considerable energy to generate enough torque to catch up to traffic, while if I were cruising, my consumption is flat and hence no spikes in energy drawn from the battery.
Regen plays a huge role in such situations anyways I asked it for the trip I am planning , hoping I get 70+ range at 60kmph Given I am cruising,I weigh 58 and will ride single with optimum tyre pressure I think I should be able to do it with ease
folks is there any systematic way followed by ather to measure battery health? i mean what if someone claims their battery is degraded too much within the warranty period. how will ather answer the customer ?

Regen work only for following two cases:
- (-ve) throttle input
- Applying Breaks.
Since I am driving in hilly terrain and comparing free flow downhill coasting of Ather 450x and any other 2W (with ignition off) there is quite a drag due to the motor on the speed of Ather. The free flow coasting is not that good you have to provide throttle inputs in between.
In my view Ather should be able to re-generate without any above two criteria’s. i.e. regen as soon as you let go of the throttle grip/accelerator.
What challenge is seen by Ather for this function?
