Ather Community Day 2026 | All Updates

Hey folks!

Community Day has always been about sharing the story behind the product, not just what we build, but why we build it the way we do.

This year, we’re opening the doors to our biggest launch yet: the first scooter on our all-new EL platform. Alongside that, we’ll be taking you through the engineering, design decisions, and ideas shaping what’s next for Ather.

If you’re curious about how things come together behind the scenes, this is the place to be.

We can’t wait to share it with you. See you all on 29th August, 2026!

Are you guys keeping it on KTPO ? I thought this year was going to happen at Factory 3.0. Imagine launching your new line of product and your 3.0 factory tour together.

The hype feels dead.

Please tell me this isn’t just the same battery and motor with a new design.

Ather built its name by innovating, but lately it feels like the company has been playing it safe with mixing colour while competitors are pushing the offers limits :joy:

The community isn’t asking for a refresh—we’re expecting a product that can genuinely challenge the Ultraviolette X47.

It’s time for Ather to lead again, not just introduce new colour

You mean company is playing 'cost cutting promax ’ yup the hype feels dead. As if the innovations as taken a longer road to reach the actual public.

I wonder what’s tvs and chetak is doing different that they both have caught the top spot for almost 2 years now.

What i feel when it comes to Ather is that, they hype the upcoming features up so much before launch that after they announce people just get disappointed that it’s not compatible with their scooter or its just not worth the hype. The good thing though is that, it’s just useful and just works most of the time.

True. Their Pothole Alerts and proactive voice isn’t active yet, atleast in the city I live in. Their Halo gen 2 hasn’t been mentioned atleast once after the last community day, it’s like even they don’t care about poor Halo​:grin:

Dear Ather Team,

I purchased my Ather on 6 June 2024. Soon after, newer models received features like Traction Control, Magic Twist, and Infinite Cruise Control, which my scooter does not have. As this is my first bike, I do not want to sell it.

I request you to please consider a paid upgrade or any possible retrofit/software update for existing customers like me. I am ready to pay if Ather can make my Gen 4 scooter compatible with these features.

Please forward this request to the concerned team and let me know if any upgrade option is available.

Regards, Mahalakshmi K

Gen 3 owners have been asking this for a longgggggg longgggg time we don’t get few what was promised few we got as a software update rest I’ll assure you.

You won’t be getting those if it’s hardware implemented

The only thing you will regret is the infinite cruse control
