Hi everyone. Got a taste of coasting regen today. Actually it might be due to wet brakes as pointed out by an user. @dewangpatil111 also experienced the same before.
So basically as soon as i stopped acceleration my Ather was slowing down and regen effect was showing on screen.
And i think that’s the best update anyone can get on Ather. I was driving in gurugram city and i didnt felt a need to use brakes. It used to slow down enough on its own by the time mind decides breaks have to be pressed.
Sharing my stats below. Got superb stats. I just wish i get coasting regen. No need to raise range by 5 kms etc.
Anyways, when I experienced it, it was weaker than force Regen. So it felt weird and needed getting used to. Also basically useless compared to forced regen where I live in a hilly area.
Toggle Regen would be really great to have alongside coasting Regen as an option for us Gen3+ peeps. But Ather doesn’t believe in having software options clearly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mine was just like force regen. Actually it was even better coz it was working everytime i stopped accelerating. Forced then doesn’t work most of the times
Ok now this makes me wonder… ur saying you got coasting regen because of wet brakes? So basically your brake was constantly engaged makes me wonder… and I wouldn’t do this because this does seem dangerous… but just for the thought experiment. One could hypothetically put a thick rubber band over the break pedal in a way where the break is just like 1-5% engaged… this would enable regen while not actually engaging friction breaking… similar to your “coasting regen”… just a thought experiment though.
I can confirm the stats,my average efficiency was always below 30wh/km when coast regen was working which used to be 33+ as am always on warp with pillion
Someone needs to figure out exactly where to put water to enable this… and then enable it on everyone’s scooty for a small fee… win win and should be a great business
I’ll put mineral oil for long lasting effects
