Break lights when using Regenerative Breaking

[dattaram.gawas1 (Dattaram Gawas)]

Currently break light doesn’t turn on when using regenerative braking which is dangerous as scooter slow down and vehicle coming from behind has no clue tht ur slowing down. Kindly fix this issue in next OTA.

If they can change this… thay can also bring the new Emergency Braking Light too

homologation bro

This is a serious issue, they need to add brake lights for deceleration when regen is slowing down the scooter effectively (below 40kph)

This video demonstrates this issue Hyundai/Kia EVs

People on Instagram seem to face the same thing:

Rethinking of regen brake lights a crucial step

That there is no visual indication of the vehicle slowing down while using regen. Concern being increased risk of rear-ending. @tarun @abhishek.balaji Tl:dr of the video- as we use only regen without braking at the twist of the throttle we do slow down quickly enough for the vehicle tailgating us(which in India, it seems to be a common phenomenon) would probably rear end into the scooter with a large enough probability to warrant a software based solution.

There’s already a thread about this.

This will be given in coming family friendly scooter…cuz homologation is a thing which only effects Ather

[dattaram.gawas1 (Dattaram Gawas)]

Tf its a basic safety n logical thing it’s breaking that means light should glow. If it doesn’t actually its a traffic violation if ur brake lights not working.

[pdhananjaypatil (Dhananjay Patil)]

Mate some people in this very forum felt it unnecessary to have such a thing.

[dewangpatil111 (Dewang Patil)]

bruh they aren’t providing a simple feature of turning on hazards while reversing which is very important to older gen scooters even after devloping it for new ones,this will atleast take couple genrations or years or Ather will wait until it becomes a regulation in germany then Ather will patent and advertise here as first in class feature

I had feature request post to make brake light blink slowly while regening long before I got my scooter but it got flagged,Ather flags posts when they want to ignore or are considering an idea like my auto brightness based on time was added after couple updates to Ather stack 5.

[dattaram.gawas1 (Dattaram Gawas)]

Lets see if they flag my post

[syed.ishtiaq.apple (Syed Ishtiaq)]

I guess not enough ram

[agobade (Akshay G)]

It’s really crucial

[vineethvamanan (ViVa)]

A MUST HAVE Safety Feature.

I wonder why @ather.team is not taking these seriously!

[dewangpatil111 (Dewang Patil)]

I think apex turns brake lights on if you use magic twist

[SukantoB (Sukanto Barman)]

Yes the brake lights do turn on when using magic twist

I just got bashed verbally today by a couple of guys when I used regen and they didn’t understand that my Rizta slowed down.

Would have been a major crash but was saved as the other guys were also driving sensibily. Brake light should be made compulsory for regen.
