Do you expected value range of belt tensioning? Please attach here , it might help us in checking with SC.

The frequency of the big belt thatās attached to the rear wheel should be at 65-70hz on their tensioning gauze. Mine was at 95hz meaning it was too loose. Even in terms of riding the bike I noticed a huge difference my bike used to be jerky previously in certain scenarios but thatās not the case now.

Does using coasting regen improve the efficiency? Iām confused if I should have it turned on or just turn it off. I have it turned on now but I donāt like the way I get pulled slightly every time I donāt accelerate the bike. I think it would be better if there was a manual way to activate the regen

Hi Chanakya.
The coasting regen function can improve efficiency as well as not improve as it depends on the driving scenario.
Scenario 1:
Mid to high traffic, small roads.
In the above scenario, there is acceleration and braking at regular intervals. So using coasting regen works best as now instead of using brakes to slow down you use regen. It works smoothly and with a good relaxed ride, you get increased range as well as less wear of brake pads.
Scenario 2:
Low traffic on wide open roads.
Now if you are cruising on an open big smooth road with minimal traffic, then using coasting regen will not be beneficial and in fact, cause reduced efficiency as when you release the accelerator instead of smoothly coasting ahead with the momentum, the vehicle will begin to slow down too early even though the road is open with little traffic and to compensate the speed you again accelerate. So in short you are using more energy to cover the same distance.
The best way is to turn on and off the coasting regen based on riding conditions to get the best efficiency.
I own a 2023 Ather 450S which has a 2.9 KWh battery capacity & by using the above points I get 35 km/Unit efficiency for pretty much each ride all in Sports Mode & get an 80-85 km range for every full charge. It is great as on full charge the dashboard shows only a 70 km range in Sports mode.

The manual way to activate coasting regen is slightly pull the brake lever, make sure the Coasting regen is off. This will engage regen without the brakes engaging so that you have control when you need to regen or when you need smoothly coast without any braking.
