Hey everyone, we’re excited as we begin the roll out of our brand new dashboard, with the following key updates:
- A new, more intuitive user interface
- Vector maps from Google Maps
- A new quick access screen
- AutoHold™ - expected on Jan 25
- Optimised Charging
New User Interface: Interact with your Ather more intuitively
Compatible with Gen 2 and Gen 3
Here’s what’s new:
- Swipe gestures have replaced tap interactions, reducing the time and effort needed to complete actions on the dashboard.
- The dashboard now adapts to what you’re doing on the scooter with spaces. The Home space gives you everything at glance to get you going, the navigation screen puts Google Maps front and centre, and the ride screen now brings Wings of Power to give you an accurate sense of how the vehicle is doing.
- The new UI is also a radical reimagination of vehicle dashboards in the smart age, drawing design inspiration from other smart devices and departing from the traditional setup.
Introducing Wings of Power, a brand new way of visualising how much power is being consumed by your scooter in each ride mode. It lets you control scooter performance while keeping an eye on your desired range.
The Wings of Power now integrate with the Smart Eco Mode, to give you a sense of how much power you have based on riding habits, to deliver TrueRange.
Ather x Google Maps: A smooth, vector navigation experience
Compatible with Gen 2 and Gen 3
Here are the highlights of the world’s first scooter tie up with Google Maps, offering a smooth native experience reserved until now only for Android Auto.
a. A smooth, buffer-free vector Maps experience
b. Real-time traffic updates so you can choose the quickest route
c. Perspective shift, which lets you take a peek at the ride ahead
Quick Access Screen: An essential overview in one swipe
Compatible with Gen 2 and Gen 3
The new Quick Access Screen is divided into two sections:
- The quick controls section allows users to easily adjust settings such as brightness or turn off incoming call notifications with a single click.
- The quick view section provides a centralised location for dashboard notifications and essential information such as tyre pressure.
AutoHold™: Give your brakes a break
Compatible with Gen 3 only rolling out on Jan 25
This new feature kicks in when you hit 0 kmph on a slope, whether you’re on an incline or a decline. You can enable it in quick controls on the quick access screen.
Optimised Charging: Get the most out of your battery
Compatible with Gen 2 and Gen 3
Switch on this feature to limit your charging to 80%. This ensures that:
- your battery life is extended
- you get consistent optimal performance
Notes:
-
TPMS pairing might take 2-3 tries before it is successful. This will be addressed in an upcoming patch on Jan 25.
-
AutoHold for Gen 3 owners will be enabled on Jan 25.
-
We’re starting the rollout in a staggered way, starting with Gen 3 this week and Gen 2 in about 10 days.
