Hey folks!

Atherstack 6 is rolling out to all users and we can’t wait to answer all your questions about Atherstack 6, the revamped Ather App, and Ather’s suite of features and experiences.

How to make the best use of this AMA

Our intent with this is to give our most engaged users a deeper insight into the way we build out experiences and approach our roadmap, as well as answer some questions about why or how certain things work the way they do. We recognize there might be many individual bugs or issues that users may have with their specific scooter or mobile app which require some technical support, however, this may not be the ideal forum for individual resolutions. We do hope you use this AMA as a chance to get a deeper level of understanding of the work the team is doing or share user experience feedback that could improve the experience for all our users. Best questions will get a high five and cake from us at the next Ather Community Day!

  1. Will the Atherstack UI on existing 450s be similar to the one we are seeing on Rizta?
  2. Will users get more flexibility on choosing the ride insights data that we want to see? Currently, different set of users see different data and there’s no way of choosing.
  3. Possible to export ride insight data or view historical data in the app?

Will Apex lose it’s theme after the Atherstack 6 update just like Series 1 losing it’s theme after Atherstack 5 update? Or will Apex retain it’s theme and get a light mode theme? Do we get an option to control regen levels like in cars?

Why there is no widgets and live activities on iOS app?

I think we all should have safety call in Ather, like a emergency button call feature.

When it’s like a life or death situation just send the alert, anyone who is closest to that Ather could reach him/her.

So I don’t think this could be implemented but it would be really helpful for Women riders plus accidental Guys.

By the way also a weather overview if possible.

As there are other app available with Radars taking report of the rain. Just an over lay on the map of clouds (optional).

I understand that BLUETOOTH connectivity is implemented using a new/better approach in AtherStack 6. Possible to share some details on it.

1.Will there there adjustable regen levels once we get coasting regen on Gen 3?

2.Why is the scooters top speed limited? why is it not limited to max output motor can give as the hardware is capable of doing it

3.Can we see a option to project google maps from phone to dashboard like in himalayan 450 so users can have a sattlelite view and more map features?

4.Is it possible to add a alternative eco mode which prefers topspeed over accelaration,450x Eco still has good power till 40kmph but what if user has option to prefer top speed at even lower power/dull throttle input and slowly accelarating to 80kmph on full throttle to make highway rides easy and maximize range

5.This one is kinda begging than a question,please add a vibrant fullscreen theme for speedometer like the old days,just somehow intigrate wings of power indication in a colorful fullscreen experience or atleast gradient

Thanks for the AMA! I’m lucky to have met Anupam, Sabrina and Suyash at the Fireside Chats for Community Day this year, here are some of my questions that I missed due to time constraints last time out:

(Can’t post 1 question per post, due to Forum restrictions)

  1. You use Edge AI and Cloud data processing from the scooter, so is there anything that expands upon it on Atherstack 6? What current features are enabled through local and cloud processing, and is there anything new in the works? :shushing_face:

    Inspired from the Medium article by Ather on it.

  2. When is inter-city trip planner coming? What factors are taken into account for inter-city trips, and can you leverage Smart Eco to ensure longer intercity trips remain possible?

  3. Why was the Trip Efficiency indicated removed? The Wh/km reading is very necessary in an EV to know if you’re riding to your expectations, and to also diagnose if the scooter is draining more than usual (dirty belt, low tyre pressure etc).

    I hope it returns in Atherstack 6, possibly even live efficiency graph (like Tesla and most good EVs) would be great. Example of implementation in Tesla.

@smridhi.kalati Will Apex users get a light theme? Can the turn signal volume be increased? It’s too low and barely audible in traffic. In dark mode on Maps, it’s difficult to distinguish route guidance from traffic due to the high contrast.
