It’s not part of the scooter. It ms a separate hardware that u have to buy

You don’t get the basic features because yours is the basic model.

You do one thing, sell your 450plus and buy 450x then you will get all the features you want. PEACE :v:

Wonder what calendar time frame Ather uses?! Soon, few weeks etc etc. Remember a Mirzapur meme in this situation when there was a positive update from Ather but no action later. Or I am not on the test program? :sweat_smile::joy:

Let us cut some slack. Better getting a more refined product than having it right now and complaining that it is broken. I hear beta rollout is near, but let’s wait.

Sure thing. I am also in favour of a refined product. But a much awaited product and a test link sure irks a spark and then when there is no update, it is disappointing. I am not criticising or any negative comment but just saying something on the situation. :slight_smile:

Ok :slight_smile:

Does fitting an internal TPMS makes warranty to become void? As per the TPMS manufacturer, they have fitted in 100s of Super bikes and warranty won’t be a problem.

Which brand TPMS are you going for? DON’T GO FOR those amazon internals one they are a failure which will cost double and are waste of time.

I am using the same for my car. Internal sensors, it’s really good as of now. It’s been around 8 months and no issues. But I would suggest external sensors for Ather and can be DIY thing. I am planning the same but they are out of stock. Battery may last around Year for external sensors.

Yes External sensor is DIY

But, Got feedback from others including Ather forum members that it has two problems

  1. Chance of Theft. So, you end up using additional lock on top of it.
  2. because of lock, every time you need to fill, it becomes a painful task to unlock and lock

I was told 2W battery life is 2 years to be minimum and can expect to last for 3 years.

Yeah the Sensairy one has a lock nut that makes it a bit more difficult for someone to steal it. It’s not fool-proof, but at the same time, I doubt people are aware of what it is and decide to steal it, so banking on that.

In my experience of using the sensairy one, you dont actually end up filling air that often, cos you always know the tyre pressure. I found myself filling air maybe once a month or so.

This depends on how many times the sensor itself connects to your phone over Bluetooth to relay the pressure info. The internal one should last much longer, but the battery is not replaceable. The external one has a replaceable battery.

This is an interesting point. In the name of checking tyre pressure, we loose 2 PSI. This will definitely reduce the number of times.

@abhishek.balaji When you had Ather 450, did you use it? Or still using it with 450X also?

Did not use it with the 450, only with the 450X

I bought the internal one from them and they are a Failure, they give you a metal tag to round it off to your scooter internal part of the rim which can or will get damaged while reinstalling the tyres, if you can find something like a car’s internal type sensor which are sold in aliexpress or Ebay they might work better.

For me sensory was just a waste of time and 600 rupees loss 300 to fit it and 300 to remove it :sob: so that the seller confirmed and refunded to after heavy argument. Looks like those external ones maybe of better quality than those internal ones

May be for a non-ather or non-electric, it might a good buy, as the effort is just equal to change of tyres. Once in 2-3 years is not a big deal.

I thought the effort will be similar here. Especially, if Ather can do it, it will be clean and doing it once more after 2-3 years is not bad.

Umm it raises alot of question, does that means Ather is not even ready with TPMS since their own Employees are getting after market accessories :roll_eyes:

Haha, this was a few months back, before a bunch of us got the Ather TPMS installed. Since this is the first accessory we’re launching, there were some hurdles in getting the systems ready, but beta installations should start in the next few weeks for a few customers.

Does this connect with the system via Bluetooth or RF? wonder if it connects with Bluetooth then maybe, just maybe 450s owners can also get this at extra prices and it connects and updates via Bluetooth then update in just the phone app

I had asked similar question… Unfortunately did not hear back anything.

Will the Ather TPMS accessory be available to order online for self installation or would need to be purchased and installed at EC / Service Center?
