Yeah the range is improving so much. ---

Hey, just please check if your brake lights are on or off when you are getting the coasting regen. Confirm multiple times cuz i have been fooled and heart-broken before ---

How can i check brakes lights when I’m driving. Though next time I’ll ask pillion rider to notice it and will revert ---

Usually when brake switch is bugged, the brake light remains on even at standstill. You turn key on, apply/remove brake doesn’t change light state ---

No no that’s definitely not the case with my Ather. When i apply brakes the light is red. When i leave brakes there’s no light. ---

That’s freaking good man. On my Ather in city conditions I could easily squeeze out 19wh/km in the past. Can’t imagine how better it will get with coasting regen💃 ---

Does coasting regen ♻ give good mileage because everytime I use it I feel that my Ather is applying brakes as soon as release Accelerator. So I avoid to use it makes riding experience worse. ---

> [@Omkar\_Bochgire](#): > > Does coasting regen On 2W EVs Regen is a Honey Word, In Reality We will not get Much Range Regenerated On I came downhill of 30 KMs with Another Gen 2 Customer @arjunmohancbe I got 5% and Arjun got 6% Regained So In City Roads and Highway, Regenerative Braking is not that Efficient 🤔 ---

Yes when coming down it is very useful but in traffic or the city it is worse because each and every time I accelerate the Ather goes forward automatically after acceleration is done without any hassle, but using Coasting Regen gives the feel of driving an old petrol engine scooty 🤭😂. ---

Having a feature is good. They give you an option to switch the feature on and off. That’s the best part? I personally like coasting regen in city coz i don’t have to use brakes again and again. ---

Once you get the hang of it there’s no going back. You automatically start riding slower (to compensate for the slower regen braking) and also extend the brake pads life marginally. I’m at 8500km and still on my original pads 🙂 ---

Same here but without coasting regen it all depends on driving style not on features. If you have skill then you can do anything bro 😉.I tap brake like ABS so disc doesn’t get hot 🔥 and last long ⌛. ---

Not really, Ather twist regen is very weak at 16A. Coasting Regen is a whopping 55A, it could give an increase in efficiency upto _50%_ given in the right hands.
