Ignition key in Ather is not ordinary type (not passive). As this is new type, there is a problem which they have identified to motor off problem.
as I heard, eventually all will be replaced when it visits next service.

In normal scooters, yes. It’s due to unsprung mass under the seat. In regular ICE scooters, you have all the weight of the engine and the fuel tank under the seat, and when you go over a bump or a pothole, the unsprung mass comes back and jolts your back. That’s why the back pain is felt during long rides.
With the Ather 450 or 450X, the center of gravity is very low and there’s very little weight under the seat, and hence longer rides would be more comfortable without any back pain.

Couldn’t have said it better. ICE has always had the neck snapping issue due to weight drop. Ather’s seat may not be the best but it protects you from violent speed bumps. Also adding custom memory foam over existing seat for your convenience is always an option. Go ahead and make it one luxurious ride

Hi @Ather.Team and @abhishek.balaji ! The issue hasn’t been resolved yet… What exactly is causing this problem, The App or the Scooter ?
Palce gutthalli vinayaka circle …
I saw one too. Looks good. And Mahindra are coming up with a charging grid and a solar roof for the 2.0 version https://www.financialexpress.com/auto/car-news/auto-expo-2020-mahindra-treo-2-0-electric-three-wheeler-unveiled-with-solar-roof-range-extender-and-more-range-top-speed-charge-battery/1864328/
Yesterday I went to Petrol Pump after a long time (to get petrol in a container for our scooty pep).
Many were starring at Ather curiosuly while I was in queue…
One guy came and asked… this is battery vehicle right, can u fill petrol also? Is this hybrid? Couple of guys asked about mileage (range) and price…
Its a head-turner, even after > 1 year of launch…

I have some followup questions to this.
- How are you planning to roll out this fix?
- What happens to the ip rating of the battery pack when it’s opened?
Me and a few owners in chennai are facing the No network issue on our bikes for more than a day. Can someone update the ETA of the resolution? @abhishek.balaji @Ather.Team
Try doing a shutdown and restart to see if the issue persists? Also, do raise a request through the app or by calling CS.
Hey Guys. This is Puneeth from Chennai. I have booked the Ather 450 and got a confirmation and payment gateway is open but have many things going on in my mind. Please ather 450 owners ( chennai owners - specially keen to know your view) do let me know your experience post buying the vehicle and how is it till date?? Buying a EV is a big hiccup, do share your experience so that its much easier to go ahead with making a decision.
Go through the above discussion with a filter of Chennai.

Ather will not disappoint you. In my opinion first book it. Secondly take couple of test ride. Finally if read forum and get info from owner on road.
Lastly if u like it wait for payment window. Or else cancel the your order.
Why don’t you type review in the search bar on the forum. You’ll find a lot of long term reviews of the 450.
