Curious, is it because of slope, like how TVS Wego is?
Canāt point out to one parameter as such. Slope+Shape+Surface+Softness all 4 S combined together doesnāt make it a good seat for long rides. Anything above 30kms will require you to re-adjust your seating position.

My display went blank 
My display went blank while I was riding the bike 30 minutes back. Called ather support and per their instructions restarted the scooter and the display lit up.
I tried reproducing the scenario and here is my observation.
I was in a poor connectivity area when I sent a location to the scooter from the ather app. Since it wasnāt received , I started riding the scooter. A few minutes later an alert popped up saying ālocation receivedā. I accepted the location and the display went blank.
I was able to repeat this 2 more times!
@Ather.Team please look into this.

Just to add ā¦ the signal strength on the scooter display is almost nil. On my Airtel mobile it is full. This has to be addressed as the reliability during poor connectivity scenarios is pretty low.
I took a video while I reproduced the scenario again but canāt attach it to this thread (only images allowed)

Patchy network seems to be almost a showstopper here. Maybe if the maps are downloaded on the vehicle and GPS can track location on the maps, as with in-car GPS systems?

Known issue. Usually if the display freezes it would reboot on its own after a few secs. If not, do a hard reset if the dash unit by holding both brakes and pushing the start button until the reboot a teen appears.
Known issue. A fix is due for this.
Again a known issue. Ather uses a Vodafone M2M sim and the only other provider for a M2M sim is Airtel. They used Airtel earlier and it was worse than what you have today.

Thanks. It is quite frustrating when there are small niggles that dent the overall experience which is nothing short of exhilarating.
Now the maps is totally dead. A message asks me to see the JavaScript console!

My vehicle gets restarted all of a sudden, while driving. This usually happens around 5mins after I start driving it and have encountered this only in Ride mode now. This weird behavior has happened after the latest update on the vehicle.
It has been 3 months since I got my Ather, in that time, Iāve moved from ecstatic (10/10) to a bit irritated (5/10 due to niggles) to a very satisfied customer (8/10).
There are enough posts detailing the pros and cons of different aspects, Iām impressed that this company has produced a scooter that has aged well with no shakes or rattles despite all that Iāve thrown at it on Bangalore roads. The performance brings a smile every day and surprises a few people on the road. But the thing that impresses me the most is the fact that my motorcycle (Yamaha FZ25) which I love to drive, I last filled up in mid March and it still has almost 75% of the tank full.

Heyy Ranjan, thank you so much for your kind review. As I also have a 7 years old Activa I was also confused between whether I should buy 450 or not. As my Activa is just giving me troubles instead of savings. But now I am convinced that I should buy 450. But the problem is Iāve to wait for Ather to come to Puneā¦

Well ā¦ u r lucky buddy Chennai is second and Pune is thirdā¦ But I expect ather should open pre-orders for Pune in August or Septemberā¦
Fresh capital induced in Ather I think they will fly the expansion to new cities also they can parallel start in Hyderabad and Pune this is why they are asking for expressing interest so they can know where demand is
to launch next

Heyy your idea is pretty good. They can expand to other cities parallely, but the problem is the production at present they have a very limited production. On the demand side I think ather is popular more in Hyderabad but in Pune ather is gaining popularity rapidly. Iāve already shown my interest for Pune. I think @Shreyas should look into the idea of @HarshaVardhan. All the best Ather team.
