Ask Us Anything on Atherstack and Ather Connect

We’re taking break now to grab some food and enjoy this lovely afternoon weather in Bangalore. Keep the questions coming and we’ll try to respond to them later this evening or tomorrow.

Have a pleasant Sunday folks!

I’m glad to see responses to so many questions in such a transparent manner! Kudos to you guys and hope to see these AMAs once every 6 months or so!

One thing I’ve missed is a dark theme in the app! I wish a simple implementation could be added :stuck_out_tongue:

Love how Ather manages the scooter in a quiet way without announcing “low battery” or “motor heated”, instead opting to gradually reduce power in a linear way which is barely noticeable.

I hope things like Wings of Power does not obfuscate information like Wh/km efficiency that us EV enthusiasts like to nerd about :nerd_face:

Also on similar lines, would be nice to see regen stats too (the amount of Wh spent vs recovered in a ride). Hope Advanced Regen makes that possible :chart_with_upwards_trend:

I think this was meant as a indicator to see where your scooter is parked – akin to the feature in cars where the hazards and alarm goes off to show where you’ve parked it in a crowded lot.

With the increased popularity of Athers and them looking so identical to each other, it would be nice to remotely press a button and have the hazards flash and headlights turn on, to search for your 450 easily.

I mentioned this long ago but no one heard :unamused: how can someone think of using gray fonts on dark gray background :unamused:

Noted.

Can you answer the questions about Wi-Fi and using phone’s navigation too? Considering how hit or miss the maps and navigation on the scooter is, I don’t think Ather Connect is currently worth paying for.

Answering the few pending questions from yesterday as well.

100% agree. We’re looking to make the mobile app into a one stop space to manage your scooter, manage your ownership and have fun with the scooter. Booking and tracking service was one step towards that. Monthly stats and charging data will show up in the app and the monthly email will soon be discontinued.

Noted on the feedback. This has been raised on the feature request thread in the past as well. We’ll consider how a feature like this can be implemented.

Honestly speaking, we don’t see a lot of real world use cases for providing speakers on a 2W. It’s more of a vanity feature than something with practical applications that can improve your overall ride. You might impress a few people at a signal and have a fun dance party with your friends, but that’s about it.
