Ather 450X Discussions

The OS itself will be locked down and we’ll take all possible security measures. That being said, this warrants a longer conversation, and I’ll try get a blog about this from our product team :slight_smile:

Now for the GDPR-esque questions:

Android OS would have access to the hardware, but similar to current 450 dashboards, it won’t affect your riding.

We’ve written about the data points collected and how they’re used here: A Full-er Stack: Building a data pipeline inside and outside a vehicle

There’s no 3rd party access to the dashboard, so none.

I’ll have to get back on this.

Similar to the 450 lease plans, exact modalities have not been finalizied. Will share details when we do.

Lithium batteries do degrade in two ways - calendar aging and usage aging. The estimate for replacement was the 450, where we guarantee that the battery pack would not go below 70% within 3 years. Even if the battery pack is at 75-80%, you’ll experience minor degradation in performance and range. The subscription pack is for those who do not want to compromise on the performance or range.

Under the subscription packs, if it dips below 80%, we install a new one for you.
