Chennai Group Ride

[frozenprakash (Chandraprakash G)]

Hi All,
First time I rode through 3 ft of water for over 15 mins, almost near my hip level in Ather

Even busses got stuck due to water running over on tailpipe.

It was funny as it felt like I was swimming in water as bike was completely under water, I didn’t even turn to sports, just used the Ride mode as always and the bike glided like charm.

[raghav.srinivasan]

Pls do not take the vehicle in water that is above the footboard. Though the battery is IP67, the motor and power electronics are IP65 and are not protected when the vehicle is submerged in water.

DOs and DONTs

Riding during rain: 450 is fully protected to drive during the rain. Its dashboard is IP65, Battery Charger is IP65, Motor is IP65 and Battery is IP67. However do note the details of IP Rating, First Digit 6: No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight). A vacuum must be applied. Test duration of up to 8 hours based on airflow. Second Digit 5: Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. 7: 1 m depth Ing…

@frozenprakash what Raghav said. The vehicle is designed for up to 300mm of water wading capacity. Anything more would have severe consequences on the motor & battery electronics. General rule of thumb is to make sure water doesn’t go above the floorboard.

Hi Rahul! I’m wandering if we should make an Auroville group ride as now we are 6 users and more are coming! I got my scooter since friday, until yesterday afternoon it was a bit complicated because it was not charging, it seems Ather has to send an “authentication code” to the the scooter and they didn’t, so we tried many useless things… But now everything’s fine and people in Pondicherry are like this when they see me accelerating or just going reverse! If any of you “Chennai guys” comes around, it will be a pleasure to ride with you and, just for your information, electricity is sustainable and “free” here so I think it’s the best place for EV’s!

[Rahul (Rahul Ravindranath)]

Hey Jeremie , that’s great news . Ather does the installation of DOT and takes care of the pairing but since you took the DOT in hand during delivery there has been a slight delay in mapping your Ather with the DOT. Good to know the installation and charging has been sorted out and you are enjoying your ride . Auroville Is the best place for EV’s and I had real fun time riding my Ather during last visit. Will plan again very soon with few more Ather’s from chennai until then enjoy riding and keep envying others with your Ather .

Hi Chennai Group Riders!

I would like to support in the charging locations apart from the ather grid for the charging needs.

I have good contacts with the commercial places in Chennai.

So it will be helpful for charging in your rides!

Ride Ather! Save Environment!

Naveen
