I am pretty sure it wont be available for vehicles below Gen 3 because they mentioned something about roasting many motor controllers to test and especially for Gen 3.
With that saddening thought, I shall still hope and wait as they never fail to give surprises.
Loved the seat one to be precise..hoping for more..
Cruise control is the need of the hour. Because everyone may not be too much bothered about the speed the vehicle is cruising, and it might attract unnecessary traffic chellans, violation tickets, to home.
Yesterdayâs qna created some questions regarding the cruise control feature. Ather team said that cruise control will not be backward compatible because of hardware requirements. So this means gen 2 and older will not be getting it. But what about latest gen3.1 models? Does 3.1 will get it or not?
In yesterdayâs qna the Ather team did not clearly answered about the cruise control and advance regen which most of the Ather owners are waiting for. They should have clearly answered which model will get these features. And if none of the current modelâs including gen3.1 are compatible for cruise control then just let us all Ather owners know about this.
They can easily make the ignition button work as the cruise control button⌠Just press the ignition switch while riding and the scooter continues to maintain the current speed
currently holding ignition button is set to pickup calls and change songs,If they delayed holding switch for few more secs for old combos and keep single tap ignition for cruise which would be great with mode switch acting as speed control when cruise is engaged.
Can you elaborate on how important cruise control is to you? Apart from attracting fine on speeding, which you anyways shouldnât be doing. I for one, donât see a huge need for cruise control on a scooter, cos in city limits youâre always gonna need to brake very frequently, thanks to road conditions and traffic. On a highway, I understand you can cruise for a certain distance but that may not be a use-case for too many owners. I maybe wrong too. But still donât see this feature as top priority for me atleast.
Cruise control works best when you are going on highways⌠which there arenât a lot of in tier 2 cities but tier 1 cities have quite a few within the city too⌠it ensures u maintain a fixed speed and allows u to maintain better efficiency and prevent hand pain on long rides.
