<p>While riding an electric scooter in winter can be very practical, cold temperatures pose a unique challenge to the performance and longevity of your vehicle’s electric scooter battery. Understanding the science behind the temperature effect on battery life is the first step to maintaining your electric scooter range and ensuring a safe ride.</p><h2>Why Cold Weather Affects Electric Scooter Batteries?</h2><p>The sensitivity of the electric scooter battery to cold weather is rooted in fundamental chemistry.</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li><strong>Slower Chemical Reactions:</strong> Lithium-ion batteries, which power virtually all modern EVs, work through complex chemical reactions. When the temperature drops, these chemical processes slow down significantly, making the ions inside the battery sluggish.</li><li><strong>Reduced Capacity and Power:</strong> Because the ions move slower, the battery cannot efficiently store or release energy. This restriction means the battery cannot deliver its full capacity, leading to a noticeable reduction in your available electric scooter range—sometimes by 10% to 20% for every 10°C drop in temperature.</li><li><strong>Voltage Drop and Sluggish Performance:</strong> Cold temperatures can cause a voltage drop in the battery. This leads to a decrease in power output, which you may experience as slower acceleration and a diminished top speed, making the scooter feel underpowered.</li><li><strong>Long-Term Damage Risk:</strong> While the immediate range reduction is temporary (capacity returns once the battery warms up), prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures could potentially cause permanent loss of battery capacity.</li></ul><h2>How to Maximize Electric Scooter Range during Winter?</h2><p>If you plan on riding an electric scooter in winter, you must adapt your charging and driving habits to minimize the temperature effect on battery life and maximize your distance.</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li><strong>Pre-Warm the Battery:</strong> Whenever possible, start your ride with a warm electric scooter battery. Start the ride slowly, with low speeds and slow accelerations. The battery will warm up in a few minutes, similar to how an engine warms up.</li><li><strong>Charge to Full (If Riding Daily):</strong> If you are using your scooter regularly during the cold season, charge the battery completely to ensure it has enough reserve power, as the voltage will drop during the ride. Charging will also help in heating the battery up.</li><li><strong>Adopt a Moderate Riding Style:</strong> Aggressive acceleration and high speeds drain the battery quickly and should be avoided. Riding electric scooter in winter should involve a consistent, moderate pace to conserve energy and increase electric scooter range.</li><li><strong>Check Tyre Pressure:</strong> Cold weather causes tyre pressure to drop, which increases rolling resistance. Check your tyre pressure regularly and inflate them to the recommended level for optimal efficiency and traction.</li><li><strong>Wear Appropriate Gear:</strong> Good clothing, including insulated gloves and a windproof jacket, is crucial for your safety and comfort while riding electric scooter in winter.</li></ul><h2>How to Protect Your Electric Scooter Battery in the Cold?</h2><p>Proper storage and charging practices are the best defense for your electric scooter battery against freezing conditions, regardless of whether you have the best electric scooter for winter or a standard model.</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li><strong>Store in a Warm, Dry Place:</strong> When not in use, always store your electric scooter indoors in a dry, heated location, ideally between 15°C and 30°C. Avoid leaving it outside, in an unheated garage, or in a shed where temperatures can drop below freezing.</li><li><strong>Maintain Storage Charge:</strong> If you plan to store the scooter for an extended period, maintain the charge level between 50% and 90% (Ather recommends a range for storage). Check the charge level monthly and recharge it to the ideal level if it drops.</li><li><strong>Clean and Dry After Riding:</strong> If you ride through snow or slush, clean the scooter immediately after use to remove road salt and moisture, which can cause corrosion to the electrical components.</li></ul><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Cold weather is a major factor influencing your electric scooter range, but with careful management, you can minimize its impact. By understanding the severe temperature effect on battery life and following best practices for charging and storage, especially avoiding charging a cold battery, you ensure the longevity and performance of your electric scooter battery even during the coldest months.</p>

Fast Charging vs Slow Charging: Which Is Best for Your Ather Electric Scooter?

Tagged in 'Savings'

<p>Many new EV owners are surprised to learn that a full charge at home takes <strong>4 to 8 hours</strong>—a marked contrast to a quick petrol stop. This lengthy duration is not a compromise, but a crucial advantage. We believe that <strong>slow charging</strong> (4–8 hours) is the superior method compared to quick, <strong>fast-charging</strong> top-ups.</p><p><br>The choice is easy: slow charging minimizes heat generation, allowing the battery to maintain its integrity and deliver long-term performance. Understanding this impact on battery health is the key to a superior EV experience and leads directly to how charging methods affect the core of your scooter.</p><h2>Importance of Battery Life and Charging Methods</h2><p>The battery is the heart of your electric scooter, and how you charge it directly impacts its health and longevity. Think of your battery as a sponge; if you pour water (energy) into it slowly, it absorbs it perfectly without stress. If you use high pressure, it still works, but it generates more heat. Choosing the right method, balancing regular home charging with occasional fast-charging top-ups, ensures that your battery remains efficient for years, maintaining its range and performance.</p><h2>Fast Chargers vs. Regular Chargers: The Basics</h2><p>Ather offers two distinct ways to charge:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li data-list-item-id="eb3c341e451382ff114e70f56c21d6cbf"><strong>Slow Charging</strong>: This is your primary charging method. Using a portable charger or the <strong>Ather Duo</strong> unit at home, it charges your battery steadily while the scooter is parked. It’s perfect for the 4–8 hour window when you’re at home or even at the office.</li><li data-list-item-id="ee71b24b2e462ac3f998e639630b494b5"><strong>Fast Charging:</strong> This is provided by the <strong>Ather Grid</strong>, our extensive 5,900+ strong public network. It’s the "express lane" for your battery, giving you a charge of 15 kms in just 10 mins with our 3kW chargers and 30 kms in 10 minutes with our latest 6kW Ather Grids.</li></ul><h2>How Slow Charging Works in Electric Scooters?</h2><p>Slow charging (also known as AC charging) uses the standard power from your home or office wall socket. Your Ather scooter has an on-board charger that takes the Alternating Current (AC) from the socket and converts it into the Direct Current (DC) that the battery stores. Because this happens at a lower power level, it generates very little heat, allowing the battery cells to balance themselves perfectly. This is why slow charging is recommended as your "daily meal" for the battery.</p><h2>How Fast Charging Works in Electric Scooters?</h2><p>Fast charging (DC charging) bypasses the scooter's on-board charger. The Ather Grid stations convert AC to DC externally and pump high-power energy directly into the battery. This allows for a massive surge of range in a short time. To keep this safe, Ather’s Battery Management System (BMS) communicates with the station to ensure the battery doesn't overheat, automatically slowing down the speed as the battery reaches 80% to protect the cells.</p><h2>Fast Charging vs. Slow Charging: Pros, Cons &amp; Performance Comparison</h2><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-style:none;font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;table-layout:fixed;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" dir="ltr" border="1" data-sheets-root="1" data-sheets-baot="1"><colgroup><col style="width:20.66%;" width="175"><col style="width:41.19%;" width="291"><col style="width:38.15%;" width="305"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Feature</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Slow Charging (Home/Office)</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Fast Charging (Ather Grid)</strong></td></tr><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Speed</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">4–8 hours (0-100%)</td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">Up to 1.5 - 3 km per minute</td></tr><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Pros</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">Best for battery life, convenient, cheapest cost.</td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">Saves time, perfect for long trips or emergencies.</td></tr><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Cons</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">Takes longer; requires planning.</td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">Higher heat generation; limited to 80% for speed.</td></tr><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Best For</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">Daily routine &amp; overnight use.</td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">Quick top-ups &amp; unexpected travel.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><h2>Recommended charging method for Electric Scooter Owners</h2><p>The choice of charger depends on your battery pack (<strong>2.9 kWh</strong> or <strong>3.7 kWh</strong>) and how much time you have.

How Long Do Electric Scooters Last?

Tagged in 'Purchase Guide'

<p>You’re thinking about making the switch to electric, but there is one doubt holding you back: How long do electric scooters last? It is the single most common concern among first-time electric scooter buyers.</p><p>Here is the unfiltered reality: the EV industry is split right down the middle. For years, the market was flooded with "hacky" brands who simply imported off-the-shelf parts from generic Chinese catalogs, bolting them together. Those early days left many riders with a misconception of electric scooters do not last.</p><p>Then there is Ather. We engineer our Battery for our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/450"><u>high performance scooters</u></a> like our Ather 450, from the ground up to handle the absolute worst that Indian roads and weather has to offer. If you are questioning the true electric scooter lifespan, you are in the right place. Let’s dive into the exact science, the extreme testing, and the proprietary tech that makes an Ather outlast the rest.</p><h2>What Is the Average Lifespan of an Electric Scooter in India?</h2><p>In a market with off-the-shelf imports, the average life of electric scooter models can be unpredictable. Generally, a standard electric scooter in India might give you 5 to 7 years of service. But "standard" is a word we wiped from our vocabulary from day one.</p><p>When we developed our platforms, we engineered them for a decade. Our earliest Ather 450 owners from 2018 have already clocked past 50,000 to 80,000 km, showcasing barely a drop in range. These rigorously tested battery packs are consistently demonstrating a phenomenal State of Health (SOH) well over 85% to 90%, even after crossing the 50,000 km mark. While the longevity heavily relies on the battery pack, our chassis and motors are engineered to outlast the typical ownership cycle.</p><h2>Key Factors That Affect the Lifespan of Your Electric Scooter</h2><p>To truly answer how long do electric scooters last, you need to look at how the battery is engineered. It's the rigorous management of chemistry and heat. Here is how we keep battery ageing the right way:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li data-list-item-id="ef95c8c7b028f681350807e988e79521e"><strong>Thermal Management in Real-Time:</strong> India’s tropical climate is ruthless on electronics. Heat accelerates cell degradation exponentially. To counter this, the Ather 450’s thick aluminum battery casing doubles as a massive heat sink, but the real magic is inside. We utilize advanced Phase Change Material (PCM) that actively absorbs and dissipates thermal energy during intense rides, keeping the core chemistry cool. Furthermore, we pack multiple high-precision temperature sensors directly inside the battery module. These sensors do continuous, live monitoring of temperatures across the pack, feeding real-time data back to our algorithms to constantly keep the battery out of "high-degradation" zones. It’s a flawless system, and our 20-million-km dataset lets us push that envelope safely.</li><li data-list-item-id="eb03bc87734ab6a3222551e1447cf3029"><strong>The Brains of the Operation (BMS):</strong> An electric scooter battery lifespan is dictated entirely by its Battery Management System (BMS). As batteries age naturally, their internal resistance goes up, producing more heat. Our industry first BMS acts as an omnipresent health tracker. It dynamically adjusts to the changed thermal properties of an ageing pack, ensuring the transition between ride modes remains buttery smooth over the years, rather than feeling jerky or underpowered.</li><li data-list-item-id="eb2060b8803bf00c01e57c40f0553e954"><strong>Adaptive Software:</strong> Here is an industry-first dynamic. An Ather evolves. Through Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, we constantly refine the algorithms that govern power draw, effectively refreshing the way the scooter operates based on continuous fleet learning.</li></ul><h2>Tips to Increase Your Electric Scooter’s Lifespan</h2><p>With an Ather, electric scooter maintenance is easy and simple. There are no spark plugs to clean, belts to tighten, or engine oil to swap. We designed the hardware and the AtherStack software for your ultimate convenience, but the electric scooter still thrives on good "battery discipline." Here is how you can maximize your electric scooter battery lifespan:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li data-list-item-id="e500f6c52ea78a3b8ef705f95eb248bce"><strong>Leverage Optimised Charging:</strong> When you plug your scooter into your Ather Duo or Portable Charger for a charge, you don't have to worry about the battery stressing out at a 100% charge for hours. Simply toggle on Optimised Charging via the Ather App. Our system actively modulates the charging cycle, pausing the charge at a safe limit and topping it up to 100% right before your scheduled time. This reduces the time cells spend in high-voltage degradation zones.</li><li data-list-item-id="e6030d6040e48e6b6dbe9e305e0d0b3d6"><strong>Use the Ather Grid fast charger:</strong> Our precision engineered Battery Management System (BMS) communicates directly with the Ather Grid charger. It dynamically adapts the current flow based on your battery’s real-time temperature and health profile. So, drop by an Ather Grid when you are out in the city and need a quick top-up, without second-guessing the impact on your battery.</li><li data-list-item-id="eab096530cbcc6f319ae772cf95cc44cc"><strong>Avoid Hitting Absolute Zero:</strong> Lithium-ion cells despise being completely drained. While we’ve engineered deep discharge protection into the pack to prevent total failure if you leave it unplugged, running it down to 0% daily isn't ideal. Plugging in before your dashboard drops below 10% is a phenomenal habit for long-term health.&nbsp;</li><li data-list-item-id="eb8b24f439403094d1d46b7899c83d141"><strong>Keep it Right with TPMS:</strong> Maintaining the correct tire pressure dramatically reduces rolling resistance. Less resistance means the motor doesn't have to fight the road, drawing significantly less current from the battery pack. You can entirely rely on your dashboard. With the Ather TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) installed, your screen will give you real-time pressure alerts, ensuring you never put unnecessary strain on your electric scooter.</li><li data-list-item-id="e4c1269a9a43d288ccfee840cbd08a3f1"><strong>Never Ignore an AtherStack Update:</strong> An Ather gets smarter with age. When a new Over-The-Air (OTA) update pops up on your dashboard, hit install. we constantly refine our thermal management algorithms and motor power delivery based on real-world fleet data. Keeping your AtherStack up to date is quite literally the easiest <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/blog/maintenance-guide-for-your-electric-scooter"><u>electric scooter maintenance</u></a> task that directly impacts longevity</li></ul><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>So, let's bring it back to the big question: how long do electric scooters last?

5 Easy Tips for Staying Safe on Your E-Scooter Adventures

<p>Hey there! We totally understand how exhilarating it is to ride your reliable electric scooter through the bustling streets of the city. But, while you're riding around like a pro, let's not forget about the most crucial aspect - safety. Yes, just like when you're driving any other mode of transport, it's important to prioritise safety. So, in this article, we're going to discuss some super-simple electric scooter safety tips that'll ensure your rides stay safe and sound. Ready? Let's dive in!</p><h2>Essential electric scooter safety tips:</h2><p><strong>1. Wear safety gear:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>When it comes to riding an electric scooter, wear safety gear as would on a petrol scooter. Think of it as your superhero suit that protects you from potential accidents. Make sure you have a helmet that fits snugly and covers your entire head. Remember, sudden accidents can happen anytime, even if you're an experienced rider. So, always be prepared by wearing appropriate electric scooter safety gears.</p><p><strong>2. Watch out for pedestrians:</strong></p><p>Electric scooters are known for being quiet on the road. While this is great for reducing noise pollution, the absence of sound can pose a safety concern. Both riders and pedestrians need to be aware of their surroundings. Whether you're riding or walking, make sure to stay alert and look out for each other. This will help to minimise the chances of accidents.</p><p><strong>3. Make use of dependable E-scooter safety features:</strong></p><p>Ather e-scooters bring you many safety features for a worry-free ride!</p><ul><li><strong>Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)</strong> - for those sudden braking moments, your tail lights start blinking alerting people behind you well in advance.</li><li><strong>FallSafe</strong> - if you suddenly take a fall, the FallSafe feature has you covered by cutting power to the motor and signalling to others with blinking indicator lights.</li><li><strong>Dual disc brakes</strong> - and for those adrenaline-pumping quick stops, trust the Ather 450 dual disc brakes to bring you to a halt quickly and safely (60 to 0 km/hr in &lt; 2 secs).</li></ul><p><strong>4. Take electric scooter battery safety measures:</strong></p><p>To ensure your safety, pay attention to potential battery related issues such as physical damage, or short circuits. Always use the charger that came with your scooter and avoid using damaged equipment. If you notice any signs of inflammation, such as smoke, intense heat, or a swollen battery, act quickly and alert Ather customer service as well as the relevant authorities.</p><p><strong>5. Be a law-abiding rider:</strong></p><p>It's important to remember that electric scooters are considered vehicles, and as such, you should follow all traffic rules. Avoid overspeeding and always ride at a safe speed. By being a predictable and courteous rider, you contribute to a safer environment for everyone sharing the road.</p><p><strong>6. Stay sharp and alert:</strong></p><p>When you're out cruising on your <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/"><u>electric scooter</u></a>, your safety should always be a top priority. Stay alert and avoid distractions such as listening to music at loud volumes or checking your phone while riding. Keep an eye out for potential hazards like potholes, debris, or sudden changes in traffic. These unexpected surprises can appear out of nowhere, but by staying aware, you'll be able to react quickly and avoid accidents. Remember, being proactive and vigilant can go a long way in ensuring your safety on the road.</p><h2>What to do in an emergency situation?</h2><p>Accidents can happen even if you're well-prepared and cautious. That's why it's essential to have contingency plans in place. If an accident does occur, staying calm is crucial. Assess any injuries and seek medical attention if necessary. And in case things get really tough, make sure you have a plan for reaching emergency services quickly. Whether it's through your mobile device or by locating a nearby help station, having a means of contacting emergency services can make all the difference in getting the help you need when you need it.</p><h2>Conclusion:</h2><p>E-scooters offer a fantastic way to navigate the city, but it's crucial to prioritise safety as with any other petrol scooter, always. By considering the safety tips, you can ensure a smooth and secure ride. Remember to wear your safety gear and take care of your <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/ather-battery-protect"><u>electric scooter battery</u></a>. Make sure to stick to a safe speed limit and remain alert on the road, watching out for potential hazards. With these precautions in place, you can enjoy your e-scooter adventures with peace of mind.</p><p>Speaking of e-scooter safety tips, if you're looking for a trustworthy option, consider <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/"><u>Ather</u></a>.

Electric Scooter - Right Choice for Regular City Commuters

Tagged in 'Electric vs Petrol'

<p>As the government is emphasising more on zero-emission vehicles, the future of electric scooters seems bright. An electric scooter battery powered by lithium can run quite efficiently on a single charge. As a result, they are surging in popularity among daily commuters in cities. With the growing mainstream adoption of these vehicles, the electric scooter market in India has grown to more than a million vehicles sales per annum.</p><p>Apart from being environment-friendly, electric scooters’ cost has come down and are also cost-effective modes of transportation. Since they are battery-powered, these rides will help you save considerably on fuel expenses. If you are yet to leverage the power of an electric scooter, delve deeper to discover why they are your ideal travel companion.</p><h2>Understanding how an electric scooter is perfect for you:</h2><p>If you aren't so sure about travelling with electric scooter, you can check out some of the reasons behind riding them below:</p><h2>Eco-friendly mode of transportation</h2><p>As the threat of climate change continues to loom, individuals are increasingly searching for methods to minimize their impact on the environment. Transforming their mode of transportation is a powerful solution towards this goal. Electric scooters produce zero emissions by running on low amounts of electricity.</p><p>In terms of efficiency, they surpass traditional vehicles, requiring only a fraction of the energy. Moreover, ongoing advancements in electric scooter technology make travelling with an electric scooter even more eco-friendly.</p><h2>Low operating costs</h2><p>Electric scooters reign supreme when it comes to operating costs. Unlike other forms of transportation, they are incredibly budget-friendly. With just a single charge, they can take you quite a distance.</p><p>A rechargeable scooter consumes minimal electricity and can easily be recharged at home or at a charging station. In terms of cost-effectiveness, they also outshine public transportation because they come with no fuel expenses. Moreover, an electric scooter price in India is also quite affordable, making it a highly economical choice for daily travel.</p><h2>Advanced smart features</h2><p>Today's high-end electric scooters come loaded with smart, connected features more advanced than many cars. For example, Ather's 450X model has a touchscreen dashboard with Google navigation, onboard diagnostics and regular OTA updates. You can remotely monitor charge status from an app and set up geo-fencing. Such features enhance comfort, convenience, and security.</p><h2>Easy maintenance</h2><p>Apart from providing more affordable operating costs, electric scooters offer a simpler and more convenient servicing experience compared to other transportation choices.</p><p>An electric scooter boasts a simple design, making it incredibly easy to maintain and repair. The only areas that require regular attention are the battery and tyres. But they rarely need significant replacements or fixes.</p><h2>Less noise pollution</h2><p>The near-silent electric motors on e-scooters are a blessing for noise-fatigued city riders. No loud engines or exhaust sounds. You can zip through the streets without adding to noise pollution or disturbing others. This makes a rechargeable scooter ideal for late-night grocery runs or early-morning commutes through residential areas.</p><h2>Safe and easy</h2><p>While travelling, unavoidable risks are involved regardless of the mode of transportation. Nevertheless, compared to other compact modes of transportation, electric scooters seem to stand out as the safest choice since they are lightweight and easy to handle.

Imagine easily manoeuvring through heavy traffic by taking shortcuts through streets, shopping mall parking lots, and parks. Such flexibility is impossible with a car.</p><p>The ability to skip traffic on busy city roads will feel like a true blessing for every rider when they are running late. Besides, the power of an electric scooter also lies in eliminating the hassle of waiting at long gas station queues, freeing up time for other valuable tasks.</p><h2>Ather Electric Scooter- The Perfect City Ride</h2><p>Indeed, electric scooters are highly convenient and a prudent method of transportation for daily commuters trying to navigate past the bustling crowds on city lanes.

Choosing the Right Electric Scooter: Factors to Consider

Tagged in 'Range'

<h2>Introduction</h2><p>We live in a world flooded with choices in every sphere of our lives, especially in the products we buy. From toothbrushes to televisions, every product has hundreds of competing brands and products with miniscule differences. When it comes to products we’ve been using for years, the choice is instinctual, and therefore, easy.</p><p>But when it comes to buying an electric scooter, especially your first, it becomes extremely important to do your research and pick the right one as per your needs. The Indian market has several options of smart and powerful electric scooters, but what are the factors to determine the right choice for you? Apart from the obvious ones like cost and your budget, this article will cover all things to consider before buying an electric scooter.</p><h2>Factor 1: Electric scooter range</h2><p>Perhaps the most important factor to consider is the range, or the approximate distance that your electric scooter can give you on a full charge. While it’s a great thing to have, it’s not necessary to purchase the electric scooter with the longest claimed range. Instead, a good way to decide is by looking at how much distance &nbsp;you need your scooter to go on a daily basis.</p><p>The Ather 450X gives you a certified range of 150 km on a full charge. But is that good enough for most use cases?</p><p>As per our insights gathered over 1 billion km of riding data, the average electric scooter user’s commutes are about 25-30 km long a day, which is less than 30% of the electric scooter battery life provided by a full overnight charge. Therefore, for most users’ daily requirement, an overnight 6-8 hour charge with the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/charging">electric scooter charger</a> provided with the Ather scooter is plenty for 3-4 days of usage. In extenuating circumstances, where more than 150 km is needed, Ather also provides the option of public fast charging all over the country, where you can get up to 15 km range in just 10 minutes.</p><h2>Factor 2: Battery &amp; charging</h2><p>The electric scooter’s battery is as important as the electric scooter itself. Any battery (phone/laptop/scooter/car) deteriorates slowly and gradually over time and use, and this ‘cost of battery’ of electric scooters does add to the overall cost of the vehicle itself. To ensure that your electric scooter battery life doesn’t deteriorate so much that it causes sudden problems, a robust battery warranty becomes vital.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/ather-battery-protect"><u>EIght70</u></a> is a one-of-a-kind battery warranty solution. For just ₹4 999 over the AtherStack Pro, Eight70 extends your 3 years/30,000 km manufacturer’s warranty to 8 years/80 000 km, and also provides a Performance Guarantee with free, no-questions-asked battery replacement. Where other OEMs only replace the battery when it’s completely dead, Eight70 warranty will replace it if your battery’s state-of-health goes below 70% (i.e. operates at &lt;70% of its optimal performance efficiency). What’s more, it also gives you 100% coverage against defects and failures, with no upper limit to claims and idle state assurance - which protects your battery against deep discharge, even if you haven’t charged it for a long period of time. All this saves a lot in terms of battery cost of electric scooters, and as a result, the cost of the electric scooter itself.</p><h2>Factor 3: Electric scooter performance</h2><p>One of the easier deciding factors is the electric scooter’s top speed. However, just like battery life, it isn’t necessary that the scooter with the highest speed is the most suitable one for you, especially if you live in a city with traffic that doesn’t let you accelerate beyond a certain limit.</p><p>But for those who do enjoy the occasional high-speed zip through traffic, the Ather 450X electric scooter top speed is 90 km/hr, with an unbelievable Warp mode acceleration from 0-40 km/hr in just 3.3 seconds!&nbsp;</p><p>Ather 450 Apex offers a top speed of 100 km/h, and with Warp+ mode you can accelerate from 0-40 km/hr in just 2.9 seconds!&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, these are no super bikes, but are pretty powerful electric scooters in their own right.</p><h2>Factor 4: Electric scooter design &amp; smart features</h2><p>Among the slightly less important things to consider before buying an electric scooter is the overall design and smart features. On the design front, the decision is purely subjective, and depends on whether you’re looking for sporty, futuristic looks like the Ather 450X or a more family-oriented design like that of Ather Rizta. These are all Made in India, for India.</p><p>Ather electric scooters also run on an Android-based operating system called AtherStack, therefore allowing it to be loaded with smart features that set it apart from most of its peers. Some of these include Google Maps navigation on your dashboard, Park Assist™, AutoHold™, Push location from Whatsapp, Trip Planner and so much more!</p><h2>Factor 5: The Test Ride</h2><p>While numbers and features make for great theoretical points, no buying decision should be made without first test riding all the electric scooters in your shortlist.

E-Scooter vs Petrol Scooter Making the Right Choice for Your Commute

<p>Are electric scooters the future? Petrol scooters are cheaper, but are they more cost-effective? Do electric scooters actually make sense for the environment? Scratch that, do electric scooters make sense for YOU? As the electric scooter vs petrol scooter debate rages on, we dig deeper to help you see what your next scooter purchase should look like.</p><p>From the cost to ride experience, here’s a &nbsp;definitive electric scooter vs petrol scooter comparison that helps you answer the question, ‘Is an electric scooter a better purchase than a petrol scooter?’</p><h2>Electric scooter vs petrol scooter comparilson - The shades of ‘green’</h2><p>The glaringly obvious argument about environmental impact is always met with rebuttals claiming that electric scooters using coal-generated electricity to refuel are as harmful as tailpipe emissions from petrol scooters, and therefore aren’t as ‘green’.</p><p>This theory was disproved in a report originally published by Innovative Clean Coal Technology (ICCT) in 2021 (read the white paper written by us here), stating that even with coal-based electricity, electric vehicles reduce emissions by 35% at the very least. This number goes up to 85% if solar energy is used. But if that’s not the shade of green that appeals to you, then maybe the next one is.</p><h2>Electric scooter vs petrol scooter comparison - Running cost</h2><p>First, grab a pair of scissors. Now, snip off that price tag. The first thing to remember while doing an electric scooter vs petrol scooter cost comparison is that the upfront purchase price of a petrol scooter is not the total cost of the vehicle - it’s pretty much just the initial cost. So, instead of comparing the number on the price tag, we look at the TCO, or Total Cost of Ownership, as the metric that shows which kind of scooter is ‘greener’.</p><p>Simply put, the TCO is the purchase price of a scooter plus the costs of operation - including fuel, maintenance, warranty and more. For the sake of this electric scooter vs petrol scooter cost comparison, we’ve calculated the lifetime cost of owning the Ather 450X electric scooter and compared it with that of a premium 125cc petrol scooter in Bengaluru.&nbsp;</p><p>The price tag puts the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/electric-scooter-price-in-bengaluru"><u>Ather electric scooter on road price in Bangalore</u></a> at approximately ₹1.33 lakh on-road (Bengaluru) and the petrol scooter price at around ₹1.2 lakh. Assuming an average usage of 30 km/day for 5 years, this is what the electric scooter vs petrol scooter comparison looks like:</p><figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-style:none;font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;table-layout:fixed;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" dir="ltr" border="1" data-sheets-root="1" data-sheets-baot="1"><colgroup><col style="width:33.33%;" width="175"><col style="width:33.33%;" width="291"><col style="width:33.34%;" width="305"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;">&nbsp;</td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Ather 450S</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Premium 125cc scooter</strong></td></tr><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>On-road price</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">₹1 33 766</td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">₹1 20 000</td></tr><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Fuel Cost</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">₹5 143</td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">₹56 250</td></tr><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>Service cost</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">₹7 500</td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;">₹30 000</td></tr><tr style="height:21px;"><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>5-year ownership cost</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>₹1 46 409</strong></td><td style="color:#1f1f1f;overflow:hidden;padding:2px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:clip;wrap-strategy:3;"><strong>₹2 06 250</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3">Electric scooter vs petrol scooter running cost + on-road purchase price = Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>The first point to note is that in 5 years, petrol scooters more than double their original on-road price in fuel cost alone (assuming an average petrol cost of ₹100/litre). Even the most fuel-efficient petrol scooters give you a mileage of about 40 km/l over 5 years. Compare that to a TrueRangeTM of 115 km on one full charge on most Ather models. Assuming Bengaluru’s electricity cost of ~₹8/unit, the Ather gives you 438 km for ₹100, as compared to just 40 km from petrol scooters.</p><p>The other important factor is service cost. On one hand, petrol scooter manufacturers recommend vehicle servicing every year, with average maintenance costs of ₹6000/year. On the other hand, because petrol scooters consist of several complex moving parts, basic repairs and replacements can add up to ₹20k over a 4-5 year period. Over the same time period, upgrades and maintenance on an Ather 450X scooter work out to only around ₹1500/year on average.</p><p>Compared over 4 years, using our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/tco"><u>TCO calculator</u></a>, an Ather 450X actually saves you nearly ₹1 lakh! This, even before you consider the various subsidies, road tax benefits and income tax benefits of owning an environment-friendly vehicle. Ka-ching!</p><p><strong>Key stats:</strong> The per km operating cost of an Ather works out to between 1/6th to 1/8th of a petrol scooter, depending on the cost of electricity and petrol in your city.</p><h2>Electric scooter vs petrol scooter comparison – Performance</h2><p>Gone are the days when riding an electric scooter meant riding on the left lane to let faster vehicles pass. Modern <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/"><u>electric scooters in India </u></a>like the Ather 450 Apex can now easily hit a top speed of 100 km/h, matching the performance of their petrol counterparts.&nbsp;</p><p>But what’s more impressive than the speed of an electric scooter is its acceleration. The difference between an electric scooter and petrol scooter engine is the smoothness of the throttle response. This happens because petrol scooters and motorcycles have a power transfer chain or ‘powertrain’ that goes from the engine to the transmission, and then to the wheels. This takes an extra 2-3 seconds to accelerate. Electric scooters’ motors are built to transfer power directly to the wheels for instant acceleration.</p><p><strong>Key stats:</strong> Ather has Zero throttle lag response. It takes an Ather 450 Apex scooter only 2.9 seconds to go from 0-40 km/h.</p><p>Plus, if you’ve never tried the Warp+™ Mode on an Ather scooter, we recommend you take a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/testride/450s"><u>test ride soon</u></a>. It’s a feature to which neither a petrol scooter nor a writer can come up with a good enough <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jZujz5CdgI"><u>comparison</u></a>.</p><h2>Electric vs petrol scooter – Ride experience</h2><p>In many ways, doing an electric scooter vs petrol scooter comparison is like comparing a calculator and a computer. Yes, the basic function is transportation. But there is so much more to the experience of riding an electric scooter that it makes their fuel-generated counterparts look almost obsolete.</p><p>A petrol vehicle gets you from Point A to Point B. A uni-dimensional transactional experience. But the first ride on an Ather 450X is an unforgettable experience - a glimpse into the possibilities of the future, if you will. While getting from Point A to Point B, you’re taking hands-free calls, listening to music, changing tracks, using &nbsp;Google Maps, seeing real-time stats on your speed, battery charge levels and so much more, all on a sleek and fluid UI.</p><p>You’re discovering things you never thought a scooter could possibly do: like AutoHoldTM, which holds the scooter still on a slope (even without touching the brakes or the handlebar); Park AssistTM, which helps you reverse your scooter from tight spaces. And what’s even more incredible is when you realise that it has the potential to do so much more with every timely update.</p><p>The modern petrol scooter took years to evolve into the product it is today. But with real-time insights taken from riders, the electric scooter ride experience has been evolving in leaps and bounds in mere months. Now, why wouldn’t you want to be a part of this (r)evolution?</p><h2>Electric scooter vs petrol scooter – Improvements</h2><p>We live in the age of data. And you’d better believe that electric scooters use ride data collected over the years to enhance your ride experience in real time! While petrol scooter users need to buy a new scooter to get improvements on their ride, electric scooters get software upgrades just like your smartphone.&nbsp;</p><p>So, to answer the question, is an electric scooter better than a petrol scooter? Well, we’ll let you try it out and decide for yourself!</p><p>P.S. A note of caution. While most Indian electric scooter manufacturers adhere to strict standards, there are many knock-off electric scooters (imported from countries like China, Vietnam etc) out there that do more harm than good – to the environment, your pocket, and your ride experience. Always ensure that you invest in an electric scooter from a reputed manufacturer only. Or, you know, there’s always plain old, boring, conventional petrol scooters.</p>

How Fast Charging Technology Works for Ather Electric Scooters

<p>No discussion about electric scooters is ever complete without the electric scooter charger. As electric scooters continue to populate Indian roads at WARP speeds, the need for charging infrastructure to develop at a rapid pace is critical. And that’s where Ather is taking the lead: to ensure that no matter where you take your electric vehicle in the country, you’re never too far from a quick recharge.</p><p>A key part of Ather Energy’s charging infrastructure revolution is its fast charging network, or the Ather Grid™. With 5,900+ Fast Charging Grid points (fast chargers) in over 370+ cities in India (including 120+ Grid points each in Bengaluru and Delhi), Ather’s efforts towards building India’s electric scooter charging infrastructure is putting more riders at ease and allowing them to think about testing their vehicles for longer, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHeDBjv44hk"><u>inter-city trips</u></a>.</p><p>In this article, let's take a look at the types of electric scooter chargers offered by Ather, to owners as well as the public, and the electric scooter fast charging infrastructure built by Ather, including the Ather fast charging cost.</p><h2>Electric scooter charger types:</h2><p>Before answering questions about Ather fast charging cost, let us first explore the options available to electric scooter owners.</p><ol><li data-list-item-id="eeaf9b680ce348b993ce08a88f6a670b3"><strong>Personal Charging: </strong>Every <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/"><u>Ather scooter</u></a> comes with a free personal electric scooter charger that can fit into any 5A socket, indoor or outdoor. This charger is meant to be used to charge your Ather for 6-8 hours overnight, so it’s ready to go when you are leaving for work in the morning.</li><li data-list-item-id="e4e83b2ec28d199d7f051208c2a5bd76f"><strong>Neighbourhood Charging: </strong>Tech parks, universities, malls and apartment complexes across top cities in India have had free electric scooter chargers installed within their premises. Check out the advantages of being an Ather Neighbourhood Charging host <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnK64xyDXEg"><u>here</u></a>.</li><li data-list-item-id="e3cfbafbb7584a14f32757384cec2e383"><strong>Electric Scooter Fast Charging (Ather Grid™): </strong>Any fast charging electric scooter following the connector standard, IS17017 (Part 2 / Sec 7) 2023 can use Ather’s fast charging network at a nominal cost. While on the road, you can top-up your <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/charging"><u>fast charging</u></a> scooter quickly with 15 km range added for every 10 minutes of charge.</li></ol><h2>Which charger to use when?</h2><p>Laptops, phones, tablets and even smartwatches now come with super-fast chargers, each claiming to be faster than the other. We’ve got so used to this that we expect even our electric scooter charger to give us our complete 110 km TrueRange before we can even finish a cup of coffee. But billions of kilometres of ride data collected over 5 years tells us that over 80% of owners use their Ather scooters for less than 25 km a day. Therefore, a single overnight slow charge for 6-8 hours with your personal charger should be enough for a few days of commuting to work and back, as well as the occasional grocery run!</p><p>If your university or office campus has a neighbourhood charging facility, then that could help even more in case of a change in plans that needs more range.</p><p>The Ather Grid fast charging network is meant solely for emergency charging, for when you’re unsure that your TrueRange can get you to your destination. Owners can also go on loooong trips to the countryside on their Ather electric scooters, with fast charging options placed strategically at highway exits of major cities.</p><p>Default charging behaviour dictates that owners use slow chargers for most situations, rather than pay to charge their electric scooter with fast charging. As of today, Ather’s fast charging network is free to use in most places across India, with the exception of 5 states - Karnataka, Kerala, Delhi, Haryana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. Even in these states, the cost of fast-charging is fairly nominal: ₹1/minute + GST.</p><h2>Electric scooter fast charging infrastructure - Ather Grid</h2><p>From the very start, we at Ather are committed to leading the charging infrastructure of the country. Even today, we launch Ather Grid points for electric scooter fast charging even before selling a single new scooter in any new market. What’s more, these Grid points also provide significant revenue opportunities for the host, along with full reimbursement of their electricity expenditure.</p><p>But we know that just setting up Ather Grid points is not enough. It’s also about providing convenience in usage, something taken care of by the Ather app on Android <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atherenergy.aegridapp&amp;hl=en_IN&amp;gl=US"><u>Play Store</u></a> or Apple <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://apps.apple.com/in/app/ather-grid/id1356687521"><u>App Store</u></a>. The app helps you search for Grid points nearby and their availability (information you can get on the dashboard of your Ather scooter as well). The app tells you if a Grid point is under maintenance or closed for the night. It also gives you the fast charging status of your electric scooter, and lets you pay seamlessly.</p><p>Fast charging electric scooters and their riding experiences are more seamless today due to the existence of the Ather GridTM network. As the numbers of electric vehicles on the roads increase, so will the number of Ather Grid™ points, ready to give your ride a quick boost. Top up your fast charging scooter or a scooty with the Ather GridTM today.</p>

The Power of Ather Portable Chargers: Charging On-The-Go Made Easy

<h2>Introduction:</h2><p>We are in an era where vehicles are powered by batteries. The portability of a charger becomes more important, especially on longer-than-usual-distance rides. That’s why, Ather, before even perfecting the scooters, decided to perfect electric scooter portable chargers.<br>In this article, we will explore how Ather portable charger for electric scooters is helping revolutionise personal transport, how to use the portable charger for Ather 450 Electric scooters and the Ather portable charger specifications.</p><h2>Ather portable charger specifications</h2><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/charging"><u>Ather Portable Charger</u></a> is a simple, plug-in charger that fits into any 5 Amp socket found commonly in India. It is easily portable, and can fit into a common backpack, drawer, and perhaps most importantly, into the boot storage space of the Ather electric scooter. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it is perfect to use at home, as well as public parking lots (if you find a plug point). This portable charger for electric scooters charges the battery 100% in about 6 hours, or one good night’s sleep.</p><p>As the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/electric-scooter-all-models"><u>Ather scooter’s</u></a> primary power source, it’s portable nature gives it a two-pronged utility:</p><ol><li>As an overnight charger: Gives you a Range of 150km with 6-to-8 hours of charge, so your Ather is up and ready to go when you are.</li><li>As a portable power source: Plans after work? Get the extra miles in your tank by charging your electric scooter while it’s not in use during the day.</li></ol><h2>Is my portable charger enough for my needs?</h2><p>The answer entirely depends upon your usage, of course, but 80% of our customers’ (from whom we’ve collected a billion miles worth of rider data over the last 5 years) usage daily is 30 kms. So, a single charge of the battery is sufficient for you to use Ather 450X for 3 to 4 days of daily needs without charging.</p><p>The only time your portable charger for Ather probably wouldn’t be sufficient for your need is if you’re riding more than 150 km a day or are taking your scooter on an inter-city trip on the highways. And here’s where the other types of chargers come in.</p><h2>Different types of Ather chargers:&nbsp;</h2><p>Apart from the portable personal charger that we’ve spoken about in this article, the other types of chargers are:</p><p><strong>Fast Charging Grids:</strong> With over 4100+ Fast Charging Grids in over 130+ cities, Ather offers the largest Fast Charging Grid network in the country. The charging ecosystem built by Ather has for long been the company’s biggest priority. Even before they launch their scooters in a city, Ather builds charging infrastructure to ensure that customers have access to charging stations, no matter what.</p><p><strong>Neighbourhood Charging: </strong>Top tech parks, universities, Malls and apartment complexes across top cities in India have had free electric scooter chargers installed within their premises. Check out the advantages of being an Ather neighbourhood charging host <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnK64xyDXEg"><u>here</u></a>.</p><h2>Portable charger for Ather: A game changer</h2><p>With the advent of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/"><u>electric scooters</u></a>, and subsequently, the rise of the electric scooter portable chargers, we’re no longer bound by the limitations of fixed physical re-fueling points, the way petrol scooters are. Thanks to its universal adaptability to any 5 Amp power socket, the portable charger can turn any place you park into a fuelling station.</p><p>Today, where there is a mad rush for electric vehicle charging points in public spaces like office complexes and apartment buildings, the ability to carry your own charger in the boot space of your Ather gives you an incredible advantage AND saves you the money you would spend charging from a public grid.</p><p>And finally, it provides a great sense of mental peace and tranquillity, knowing that no matter where you go, or how far you are from your destination, you’ll never be completely stranded for want of power.</p>

The Ultimate Guide to Electric Scooter Helmets

<p>Ultimate Guide to Electric Scooter Helmets | Ather Blogs</p>

<p>Helmets. They’re not just the law, they’re lifesavers. Wearing a helmet while riding a motorised two-wheeler vehicle is mandatory in India according to the Motor Vehicles Act - a law which is very strictly adhered to in most parts of India, and rightly so. According to a 2022 report on Road Accidents in India, the number of deaths caused by road accidents in India have risen to over 1.5 lakh a year, and wearing helmets - of the right quality - can help significantly reduce this tragic number.</p><p>The Motor Vehicles Act also applies to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/electric-scooter-all-models"><u>electric scooters</u></a> in India to protect riders. Despite being loaded with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/450X#safety"><u>safety features</u></a> such as FallSafe™, Dual Disc Brakes etc., it is still of utmost importance to wear a helmet before any ride taken on an Ather electric scooter.</p><p>In this article, we will look at the electric scooter helmet - why it’s so important, what to look for while buying one, and where to get the right one for your head.</p><h2>What do helmets do?</h2><p>A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect the head. More specifically, a helmet complements the skull in protecting the human brain. As early as the BC era, man has recognised the need to protect one’s head from potential impact that can be fatal or cause lifelong, irreversible damage. In the modern day, helmets are designed to provide enhanced safety for the head, eyes (visors), mouth, jaws, ears and other parts of the cranial area that are as prone to damage as the skull itself.</p><p>In a nutshell, in the event of a high-impact collision, the right helmet can save a life by absorbing maximum impact and reducing the force the skull has to bear in protecting the brain. For riders of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://shop.atherenergy.com/collections/smart-helmets"><u>Ather helmets</u></a>, it can also be a really cool style statement as well. Read on to know how.</p><h2>How to identify the right electric scooter helmet?</h2><p>In modern times, helmets are designed and made differently for their varied uses. According to the law, you can’t just wear a cricket helmet or construction helmet on the roads - your riding helmet needs to meet certain quality standards, fit a certain way and have certain features. Let us explore these features.</p><p><strong>Certification: </strong>The difference between a good quality helmet and a bad one could be the difference between life and death. Therefore, certain safety standards must be adhered to by all electric scooter helmet manufacturers. So when you’re buying, look for helmets that meet the safety standards set by trusted certifying organizations, such as DOT, ECE, or ISI (ISI: 4151 is the code for helmet safety standards). This is a guarantee that the helmet has passed rigorous testing, thereby assuring quality.</p><p><strong>Type:</strong> There are essentially two types of electric scooter helmets that are permitted for use while riding (and for the pillion rider too, in some cities/states of India) based on the amount of protection provided. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://shop.atherenergy.com/products/smart-helmets-products-halo"><u>Full face helmets</u></a> cover the entire head and face area, including the mouth and jaw, whereas <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://shop.atherenergy.com/products/smart-helmets-products-halo-bit"><u>Half face helmets</u></a> cover the head area, up to the ears. While the decision rests with the user’s comfort level, the extra protection of the Full Face Helmet is highly recommended.</p><p><strong>Fit: </strong>Getting a helmet of the right size is another absolutely crucial aspect to consider. A helmet that’s too loose could fly off on high impact. A helmet that’s too tight or uncomfortable impairs the rider’s concentration and doesn’t effectively prevent shockwaves from going through the skull and impacting the brain. Just like with clothes - bike helmets come in standardised sizes (small, medium, large etc.) and you can try it on before purchase. The helmet you choose must snugly fit your head and not move around excessively, but also feel comfortable and not too weighty on the head. It should cover the forehead and sit low on the back of the head.</p><p><strong>Materials &amp; Construction: </strong>Much has evolved when it comes to the choice of material that provides maximum safety to the wearer’s head. While metal and plastic have been used in the past, synthetic materials like polycarbonate, fibreglass or carbon fibre are now being used as they provide both durability and lightness. These offer varying degrees of impact protection and your choice must be made considering your riding behaviour, especially aspects like the type of road and speed in which you ride. The visor, too, must be made to provide clear, unimpaired vision and must be easy to wipe.</p><p><strong>Ventilation: </strong>An underrated, but essential factor to consider is breathability. Look for helmets that offer adequate airflow, especially for long rides. The right ventilation is essential for the comfort of the rider by preventing excessive sweating and visor fogging.</p><p>Accessories: Some helmets are equipped with additional features like Bluetooth that complement other <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://shop.atherenergy.com/"><u>electric scooter accessories</u></a>. Invest in them if you must, but remember, safety is the #1 priority!</p><h2>Where to buy the best electric scooter helmets?</h2><p>Nearly every Indian city has a massive population of two-wheelers, and therefore, a massive supply of good-quality rider helmets. Check out your neighbouring helmet shop and you should get a great variety in a fit and finish that suits you.</p><p>Additionally, you can buy helmets and other <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://shop.atherenergy.com/"><u>accessories</u></a> online on the Ather website as well.

Ather Electric Scooter Display Screen Comparison with other Brands

<p>Gone are the days when your scooter’s only purpose was to get you from one place to another. Electric scooters aren’t just scooters, they’re on-road computers, which makes the electric scooter display screen the user interface. Therefore, it’s one of the most vital components of the modern electric scooter. It doesn’t get you from one place to another but does everything to make the journey much easier and more insightful.</p><h2>Ather electric scooter display features</h2><p>When Ather built the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/450X" title="450x Electric Scooters"><u>Ather 450X</u></a> flagship model, they did so intending to make it the most advanced scooter in the market. It became vital to ensure that the user experience of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/"><u>scooter</u></a> had to be advanced too - to a level never seen in an Indian two-wheeler before. Not only it had to be an excellent electric scooter LCD display screen, but it also had to be a touch-enabled control centre for a ride experience, loaded with features and insights that aided the ride and overall daily running of the Ather 450X scooter.</p><p>When the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/450X#intelligence">Ather 450X display screen</a> was born, it was, and arguably still is, the most advanced electric scooter display screen in the Indian market. Here are some of the vital and extra features on your Ather electric scooter:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li><strong>17.7 cm (7”) TFT screen:</strong> The Ather 450X display screen is 7 inches, which is larger than your average smartphone screen. It’s the perfect size for an electric scooter LCD display. TFT screens give you sharper visibility with minimised eye strain and power consumption and a faster response time on touch.</li><li><strong>Water-resistant &amp; dust-proof:</strong> Washing your scooter or Heavy rains? Don’t worry about the screen going kaput. The display screen of Ather 450 is IP65-rated, which means it can withstand water splashes and heavy rains. It also has the highest level of dust protection, perfect for riding through dusty city streets without compromising on-screen visibility.</li><li><strong>Google Maps Integration:</strong> This is a big one, folks! The Ather 450X is the world’s first scooter to have a completely Google Maps-integrated navigation system. No more shifting between your phone and the road while riding on a new route. Get all the benefits of Google Maps like Street View, 2 wheeler maps, alternate routes, ETA and more ONLY on the Ather 450X display screen.</li><li><strong>Snapdragon 212 Quadcore 1.3 GhZ:</strong> When we say the Ather 450X is an on-road computer, we aren’t kidding! The display screen is run by a powerful processor, equivalent to the ones seen on Android smartphones and tablet PCs, so you can run Maps, listen to music, adjust the electric scooter display settings and ride at the same time! It’s a multi-tasking machine.</li><li><strong>Bluetooth 4.2:</strong> It’s a 3 point bluetooth connectivity unlike the regular bluetooth available on scooters or bikes. With the Ather 450X display’s advanced Bluetooth settings, connect your phone seamlessly with your scooter and listen to music or take/reject calls at the press of a button. The interface also allows you to play DJ by easily navigating through your playlist, skipping back and forth, volume adjustment and more!</li><li><strong>Dark mode:</strong> Riding through dark streets at night? You don’t have to stop to adjust your electric scooter display settings. Just switch on Dark Mode, and get instantly better visibility on your screen, even on badly lit roads.</li><li><strong>Other features:</strong> The Ather electric scooter display screen is equipped with 2GB RAM &amp; 16GB storage for what’s important, 4G connectivity for seamless music streaming and Android OS so you can get the apps you need for music streaming and more! All this with a sleek &amp; fluid UI that is as fast, clean and intuitive as any other touchscreen display out there!</li></ul><h2>Comparing display screen technology</h2><p>Nearly every electric scooter brand out there now comes equipped with a touchscreen display with electric scooter display settings suitable for riding in the city or highway. However, when compared to its contemporary competitors, the Ather 450X display screen is still the most advanced out there.</p><p>For starters, the Ather 450X is still the only flagship scooter in India that has a seamless integration with Google Maps for navigation. This not only gives riders information on the best routes, it also throws up real-time data on traffic conditions, blockages, alternate routes and specific optimisation for scooters that can fit into narrow shortcuts.</p><p>Another factor is the Operating System of non-Ather electric scooter LCD displays. While the Ather 450X comes with an Android Open Source OS, allowing you to get the best of what Android has to offer onto your scooter, the others have proprietary operating systems, thus giving you fewer advanced features in comparison. This seamlessly integrates with iOS smartphones too.</p><p>While <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/">all electric scooters</a>, including the Ather 450X, are well-connected to their app, the Ather 450X display screen gives riders more real-time data on its display rather than just only on the connected app.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>When Ather put out the 450X, they put out a trailblazing scooter that is as much an intelligent computer as it is a smart performer. And that is evident in the fact that even competing electric scooters that were launched much later do not come with display screen technology that is as advanced and reliable as the one on the 450X. The Ather 450X comes with electric scooter display settings that are ideal for riders who like to multitask, while still keeping an eye on every detail of their ride. And it does all this in the most sleek, neat and interactive way imaginable.</p><p>To know more, and to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/testride/450x"><u>book a test ride</u></a> to try out the 450X’s incredible display and its amazing features, click <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.atherenergy.com/450X#intelligence">here</a>.</p>
