Hey folks,
Deployment of Atherstack 5.2 has begun in batches from Feb 1, 2023.
For most Gen 2 customers using the previous interface, this means a complete dashboard overhaul, including:
- A new interface redesigned to be more user-friendly and intuitive
- Vector maps from Google Maps, offering faster load times, perspective shift and live traffic info
- A new quick access screen for quick controls and essential vehicle information
Please note: Optimised Charging isn’t included in this update for Gen 2 users, it will be coming soon.
To read in detail about all these updates, refer to our Atherstack 5 release notes here: 🚀 Introducing Atherstack 5 (Gen 2 and Gen 3)
For Gen 3 customers who have already received Atherstack 5, here are the major updates that 5.2 offers:
-
AutoHold™
-
Bug fixes
AutoHold™
For Gen 3 customers only
AutoHold will be available 24 hours after the installation of Atherstack 5.2 and, once enabled in settings, it works automatically every time you stop on a slope.
How it works:
- It senses when you’re on a slope
- It then holds you in place when you come to a halt, whether you’re on an incline or a decline
How to release AutoHold:
- You can throttle as usual to start moving forward
- You can also tap the brakes to release AutoHold & roll down the slope.
Please note: There may be rare cases where AutoHold is triggered on flat roads or unusual circumstances. In this case, we advise you to disable the feature from the settings and take your scooter to the nearest service centre to get it to work as intended going forward.
Bug fixes
-
Bluetooth pairing issues - pairing issues known to us have been resolved, needs app version 6.3.0 for the most optimum experience.
-
Maps - rendering issues have been resolved, improvements have been added to speeded up initial load time, further improvements planned for upcoming releases.
Please note: Atherstack 5.2 has a known bug where multiple vehicles show up on the scooter, this will be fixed in a future update.
P.S. Since Atherstack 5 rolled out, we received queries regarding deprecated features (ones that were available in the old UI that are absent from the new one). Please find below a list of such features:
-
Real-time efficiency indicator - this bar has been replaced by the power bar (Wings of Power), giving riders a sense of their power consumption & efficiency right up front.
-
Trip B - this has been removed as our Trip Meters have been reduced from 2 to 1.
-
Average trip efficiency - this has been removed from the dashboard, however the information will continue to be available on your app.
We hope you enjoy these new features and the benefits it brings to your Ather scooter.
If this is the first time you’re installing an OTA update, refer to the instructions here: OTA and App updates
for removing the existing features as part of update.
, I couldn’t find a clue for auto theme changer option, any idea on this would be appreciated
