Ownership Experience

Never a good idea to full jam the brakes in emergency. That is a basic mistake. ABS was developed to overcome this natural reaction of users (plus other reasons to make all the tyres move individually and appropriately based on the turn). In the absence of ABS, we should do brake-release-brake as suggested by @toraghavan09 and @govindrover. I read somewhere that expert test drivers used to consistently beat the ABS in its initial days and that data is used to improve the ABS.

Jamming the brakes means coming to a stop asap without skidding (can be done). This is one of the tests that is done when you actually get a license in the UK.

Doing manually is a skill that needs to be developed. It’s pretty easy once u practice it.

Hi @abhishek.balaji @rajeshkav @Ather.Team The ride stats isn’t showing up since a month. It is asking me to go on my first ather ride😂

What’s the fix for this? Do I wait for the next update?

My vehicle is charging even after power cut for 10 mins :rofl: I think I’m blessed with Over The Air Electric :innocent:

Edit: Went ahead and unplugged the charger. Not sure why it’s showing charging both on app and scooter.

Anyone please clarify on this!

In my case it is opposite! even with power it has not charged. See the below quote from my ownership topic

That’s so strange. In my case, I thought to plug again to test it after I unplugged, by the time the power came back. So, I’m still curious what could be the reason?

Anyone face a slight difficulty when turning the handle bar to complete left. I feel sometimes the wires block the turn.

I had faced this during the initial days of my scooter. This was corrected in the first owners’ meet in April 2019. It took them just 5 mins. I had mentioned the same in the meet report (quoted below).

Some hose/tube/wire blocks it from turning it completely to the left. Last week, the issue has crept up again.

Calling the CC would solve the problem ?

It should. Best is you report it through the app itself (if it opens for you) and someone from the service team will get in touch with you. Being a minor issue, either someone will correct it at your doorstep or they’ll schedule a pickup.

Thanks bro. App is loading :joy:

Short update to this…the vehicle is charging. When we checked it a few minutes ago, It had reached 100% and we’ve switched it off now. If it repeats, I’ll report it.

That’s odd, can you report this to the Customer Service team or raise a ticket through the app?

How does one keep the duration of the red halo around the range available (ride screen) to a minimum?

Accelerate gently. That’s the secret not to see the red halo.

The halo stays for a longer duration in this scenario. I slow down on a flat road to go over a speed breaker and then followed by an incline. As its an incline, I need more torque. This is when the halo kicks in. Would ride mode reduce the halo? Probably, I can momentarily shut down acceleration and switch to ride mode just before going over the hump and once I cover most part of the incline, shut off accelerator and switch over to sport mode. Quite a lot of roads in Bangalore have these inclines and road humps. I am trying to figure out the best mode for this.

I read somewhere in the forum that the system is less reactive to the acceleration changes in ride mode than in sport mode.

When I’m riding for efficiency, This is what I do… 0-20kms it’s almost impossible not to get the red halo. it needs that energy to gain momentum.once I reach 20kmph speed, I let go of the accelerator for a split second and let the momentum of the vehicle take over. Then, from that zero position, I twist the accelerator just a small bit so that it maintains that momentum it has gained. Modes hardly help in reducing the halo duration. In fact as per my observation, Sports mode is equally efficient if you ride really sedately. Although it displays less range, we can extract same range as that in Ride mode. It’s just that when we shift to Sports mode, we don’t ride that way.

Thanks, I will try this today on the way home.
