Before the owners meet, I absolutely wanted a dashboard like a model S or X. As in all the geeky stuff. Like the graph and all. But after I heard the team speak about safety and minimalism, now I find the Ather dashboard absolutely perfect.

I think Dada is correctā¦ā¦. 
Actually the ride statistics is transferred to servers on Realtime basis from scooter. once the we turn off the key the network gets disconnected the system calculate the distance travelled average speed and efficiency and sends it to mobile that takes 5 to 10 minutes for system to send.
I am not expert from the looks of it I guess this how it works because my vehicle is parked in ground floor and I have excellent network here once I switch on the key it takes about 5 to 10 sec for the network to show up on vehicle dashboard and sync with my mobile but till then mobile shows last sync data
had done some test (observation) yesterday,
i turned off the key and started stop watch exactly at 6min 55 sec have turned on the key and i see the signal still stayed on dashboard
next time at 7min 30 sec signal still there
next time 8min 10sec min signal vanished
have done above test again
same result
for about 4hrs have tested turning on the dashboard and noticed there is no such interval where signal would return
so conclusion
after about 7.30 - 8 min signal vanish (in this time data is exchanged with cloud) and will only return when u turn on the key next time
(and programmer wouldnāt eliminate only battery data - he should write extra syntax for that - why would he do that - unless he is I!)

so i got a doubt after this
as the trip is concluded only after more than 7min
the time shown for the trip is always be + 7 min???
if above is true
Ather should have kill switch as reference
ride should be concluded from the time kill switch is engaged as well, besides with key
as there will be many instances at least for me where i just keep the dashboard on and engage kill switch while giving demo!! / test ride!!

I use kill switch only Iām emergencies like if vehicle falls, crash, etc.
I donāt have it should be used as reference.
Sometimes we forget to ākill the motorā and directly shut it down, then data will not sinc

Hello Ather team,
I ask you to consider my below points in the next OTA updates.
- I donāt need auto turnoff indicator option, please add a feature to turn on/off auto indicator. An auto indicator is a bad option for me in traffic. Before I make a turn the indicator goes off. While manoeuvring I will use indicator, I may have to use multiple times to make a simple turn.
- Please add the hazard option in the dashboard screen
- When do you think you will provide end to end real-time traffic information on the dashboard screen? At present, I am using my mobile to view the real-time traffic before I choose the short route. Itās a pity for a user to monitor two scrrens while riding.

Few points that have caught my attention here:
- Since i commit only once with Indicator so till date i have had zero indicator closures prior to turn, My advise would be to be in the lane that you want to turn to and not turn cutting other vehicles or commit handle multiple times for a single turn. Ather teamsās indicator seems well put for someone who drives with some prediction
- Real time traffic information would be God sent on the onscreen displayā¦ would love this
- I cannot stress it enoughā¦donāt clutter the displayā¦i like it the way it is now.
- Please add dark theme or night mode with auto switching based on time
- Please go aggressive with regen and show some regen on display. also switchable levels would be great
- I am not sure if sports mode is maxing out the motor but if not then a ludicrous mode is needed. I vote for 4 modes a. Eco(Superaggressive 25-30 kmph), b. City (Normal ride mode) c. Sports(For some power hungry driving) d. Ludicrous (with race mode start and just a 10 second boost for very heavy pull, some slip and slide fun is appreciated)
@AtherTeam do add some which are feasible

Hello Ather,
Here is the scenario i encountered, I was driving with my kid infront and when the vehicle is idle he was playing with park assist option. Please provide an option to disable while riding.
When riding, and you stop even for a brief period, use the engine kill switch. Ask me, Iāve learnt it the hard way 
It is exactly for your situation and some other scenarios that Ather instructs users to use engine kill switch and it is the same reason why toich is disabled when the vehicle is moving.

I can be a forgetful guy and leave the key at the switch. Particularly with this scooter because sometimes I donāt take the key out right away cause I need to check the dashboard or open the seat a couple of times.
Was wondering if a feature could be added for the scooter to send me an app alert if I left the key behind. Or if the scooter could beep if the key stays in too long?

this will be a very good safety features @Shreyas . I think app notification could be achieved easily by ota software update.
if the stand is open but the key is on and speed is zero for a certain period of time then this notification should trigger.
Kill switch is not the answer,when the motor is on in slow moving traffic it is very easy to drag to park associate mode.Kids are too fast these days. Would like to hear from Ather team in this.
My suggestions for features
- Long Range Mode which can give 100 km by limiting the top speed, torque etc and can be used for long distance commute without needing to recharge
- Shutdown mode does not provide the user with ride statistics and only if we switch off normally user ride statistics is available and so it should have like a capability to give ride statistics to user atleast after the scooter is switched on next time.
- Password protected mode for the settings option to protect the settings and also random changes that can happen
- Auto booster mode to help in start stop traffic by enabling the same in the settings
- Cruise mode so as to not use the accelerator much and fix the speed of the vehicle once we go to a speed and engage it using the buttons
- Vehicle locator option so as to give the last know location to the app and we can trace the vehicle
- Do not know if the vehicle has incline check feature and if possible booster mode when inclines are detected
- Multiple drivers auto load profile if possible is also helpful when different people use to ride the scooter and have different settings

Whenever there is an error on charging or if the charging stops midway, app notification on mobile phone would be very helpful.

Understand that AHO is mandated by govt. But can it be linked to the Kill switch. I travel thru a lot of signals. Thereās no point in keeping headlight on when stationary.

we observed Ather was able to provide feature for guide me home
so there is control over the light
Ather should be able to consider and include in OTA
