I think this has been suggested by a few people earlier, but I believe Ather might not be too keen with this idea. Killing over an app is always dangerous since it can be misused when the scooter is in use and might result in accidents on the road. No matter how many safety checks you put in place, once such a feature is even rolled out, hackers will find a way to circumvent the checks and misuse it!
How about instead of kill it slow reduced performance and speed and comes to a halt? This already happens when the scooter encounters an error, shouldnât be too hard to implement. While also displaying warning symbol on the dashboard?
Yes, this sounds better. If it is possible to design it to only allows for slowdown and not a full kill, then I guess it will be compliant with safety requirements. But that is assuming this module cannot be subsequently hacked to introduce a makeshift shutdown
Battery life?
Had a small request. Shouldnât be too hard to give it to us but I guess its a question of, if you want us to have it. Seems like the data from the scooter can be displayed in a raw format on the dash in developer settings or something. I donât know the specifics of how the dash software is but is it possible to make this accessible to all of us? Officially.
We donât really mind if it looks like this( for now) Itâs quite interesting to have all this data. What do the rest of you think?- Definitely need this option
- Iâll wait for a more refined representation of the data
- Doesnât matter donât need it.

And refined representation would mean, much more time to push over OTA
And Regen would also be helpful
Oops⌠Clicked on the wrong option! Would rather have a more refined representationđ
Click on show vote and change your option if you want to.
Regen works fine I think so when we reverse throttle the accelerator like light braking (motor braking).
Can ather add a feature where if the engine is turned on (and the speed=0 and the side stand is on) -> then the throttle is killed� It would really prevent accidents from happening as the motor is very silent.
Ather app shows nearest charging point but doesnât show availability as ather grid app. Can we do something about it
Can we have parking lights enabled via OTA or it needs hardware Change?
A feature with the help of which we can switch on the headlights (also honk twice) through the phone for about 10-15 seconds would be helpful for locating the scooter at night.
Welcome lights are planned for a future OTA update. It requires bluetooth first to be able to tell when youâre near the scooter.
A feature request for dashboard is to give password protection for settings tab to avoid anyone else to change settings such as incognito mode.
As this feature is available in dashboard itself someone should not activate it unless the owner wants it to be on. As the GPS tracking/ data sync wont work during incognito mode. (Please correct me if that is not how incognito works).
Some features I am looking for.
*Turn by turn navigation in dashboard which should also cover zoom in/out capability.
yes and also voice assist for maps during turning or any other status for. currently one has see the map and drive, if we get could turn indication as voice like a smartphone then it will be very helpful @abhishek.balaji
Hmm i think this feature over Bluetooth would be awesome. Without it, would be hard to hear anything in traffic and stuff, unlike the inside of a car.
depends, lets try it out with ather as wellâŚwho knows we might like it
According to the Google Maps Terms
You will not use the Service or Content for or in connection with (a) real-time navigation or route guidance; or (b) automatic or autonomous vehicle control.
The recommended way is to redirect the user to the app of Google Maps using Intents which is also not possible because for that the dashboard needs Google Play Services which is not present in Atherâs Dashboard unlike other Android Phones or Tablets.
