Atherstack Dropkick 11.0.1 (Gen 3 only)

It’s a known issue with iPhones and the Gen 3 scooter, the team is working on fixing it, but it’s not in this OTA update.

The scooter will download the update and show you an indication that it’s ready to install. Updates are rolled out in a staggered manner, and the scooter will download it based on the network strength, availability etc, it’ll take a few days until you see the update ready to install on your scooter.

Is the issue with indicator related to the sounds , couple of times i have faced an issue where there is no sound at all from the scooter , nothing during start up , for indicators , parking assist and when motor is switched on

If you’ve observed this after the update, it’s normal. A reset should fix the problem. (most of them :p)

I don’t think it does as it not a common bug which it has been identified. You might as well just try the reset option.

Will the update ask our permission for installing it?..Coz in my vehicle the software version name is been fully displayed but i didn’t get a notification that a new update is available…Do you think the vehicle has been updated already???

You will get the update automatically in a few days once it is rolled out. It will get downloaded by default and you can choose to install it or it will get installed by it’s own. There is no option to stop it.

Same issues, + SmartECO also does not work. the bar never depletes, no matter how harsh it is driven. 450+ Gen3, delivered 2 weeks ago.

smart eco only aggresive limits accelaration when you have 100kg+ load and battery is below 60% else you have enough voltage to play around.even I thought mine was broken until i started depleting the battery

if you still think it isnt working renable it and do restart by holding brakes and power button

(cant post links :frowning: but search for ‘Ather SmartEco’ on youtube and have a look)

Check out the vids. also note the battery %. if it were to work in the conditions you have mentioned, then the point of smartECO would completely be lost! you would continue to spend energy like you were in sport mode, hence unable to achieve higher range numbers and lower efficiency figures. smartECO, from what I interpret, should only allow small bursts of power, enough to overtake. like a nitro bar in Asphalt games.

anyway we’re going too off topic!

I was experimenting with 10-15% battery when I discovered that it doesn’t work. I was trying to drain the scooter as fast as I could, and smartECO helped me in that lol! Since the scooter gets limited to Eco mode below a certain threshold, I was just able to switch to SmartECO to unlock it back and ride it like I stole it.

anyway, lets see what Ather brings in the next update. I’m hoping the devs buckle up and start pushing out stuff faster, since the announcement of Vida!

Thank you for updating after being asked. I purchased Ather 450x Gen3 few days back, only to realize that there is Bluetooth issues with iPhones and Gen3 scooters, surprisingly no one from the Ather showroom told me about this even when I inquired about the connectivity.

It is a shame that after charging 1.66-1.7 lakh for a vehicle and advertising about seamless connectivity with Phone and Gen3 only to realize that it is all a SHAM and does not work as advertised.

Hope you find a fix quickly for iPhones and Gen3 connectivity, so that the owners can utilize the features that are supposed to work right out of the box.
