      Ather Connect

      Is Ather Connect™ mandatory?

      No, it's up to you. But if you want to unlock your Ather's full potential, you'll need Ather Connect. You don't want to miss out on Find My Scooter, OTA updates that add new features and keep improving your scooter, Call and Music Controls and so much more.

      I'll be traveling for a while and won't be using my scooter. Can I pause my subscription at any time?

      Currently, we don't have this facility. Once subscribed, your Ather Connect™ plan will be valid for exactly 3 months, 1 year or 3 years, depending on the duration you choose while subscribing.

      Can I pay with Ather Credits?

      Yes, you can. We'll take the credit(s) too.

      Why am I paying extra just for internet access?

      There's more to Ather Connect™ than just internet access. It enables additional features and benefits such as Theft and Tow detection, Google Maps navigation and more.

      I was given Ather Connect™ for free as part of my scooter purchase. Do I need to subscribe?

      If you've bought a new Ather Scooter with AtherStack Pro, you'll receive 3 year of complimentary Ather Connect. If you wish to continue using Ather Connect features post that, you will need to subscribe.

      I only want to use Google Maps navigation. Can I subscribe just for a few individual features?

      Ather Connect™ is a connected platform that unlocks a whole lot of smart features. It is designed to give you a riding experience that's smarter than ever. Just a couple of features can't match up to the world of intelligence it opens you up to.

      Do you have a monthly plan?

      Currently, we only offer quarterly, annual and 3 year plans.

      I have opted for the 1-year plan, but would like to upgrade to the 3-year plan now. Can I do that?

      Sorry, you can only do that the next time you're subscribing.

      I initially opted for the 3-year plan, but would like to downgrade. Can I do that?

      We don't have the option to downgrade a plan. But we're sure you will continue to find great value with the plan you have chosen.

      Are there any additional costs to this?

      Nope. What you see is what you pay (inclusive of GST).

      What happens if I don't subscribe to any of these plans?

      You miss out on a ton of nifty features and benefits such as Google Maps navigation, Find My Scooter, Call and Music Control, and more. But you still have a top-of-the-line performance scooter, so warp away!

      Why do we have to pay for subscription after paying a premium for the vehicle?

      Both, Ather 450 and Rizta are powerful, smart and connected electric scooters. Ather Connect™ unlocks a whole lot of smart features: dashboard navigation, over-the-air upgrades with fixes and new features, and statistics that are synced to your phone to improve your ride. All of these are activated through the in-built 4G sim, which is ultimately, a recurring cost. The Ather Connect™ subscription plan is designed to suit heavy to light users, but isn't a must-have. It’s your call whether to opt for it or not.

      After a year, will the discounted price be applicable when it's time to renew?

      Pricing is subject to change. We strongly suggest you subscribe now to make the most of the discounted offers.

      How long will it take for the Ather Connect™ subscription to get activated?

      Once paid for, it should be activated in a couple of minutes. If it doesn't, reach out to our customer service helpline.

      I still have questions. What do I do?

      Reach out to us via email or phone. We're more than happy to answer any questions you still have.

      Can I subscribe to Ather Connect™ later?

      You can subscribe to Ather Connect™ at any point. You tell us when, and we'll make your rides smarter.

      Ather app deletion or deactivation

      What is the procedure to deactivate my account?

      It’s a fairly simple procedure to deactivate your Ather account on the mobile application. You will need no more than 5 clicks to get this done. Of course, living with a smart scooter that is no longer smart will not be as simple.

      1. Open up your Ather mobile app and head to the ‘Profile’ section.

      2. Select the ‘Settings’ option.

      3. Go to the section titled ‘Manage Account’

      4. You’ll see a set of TnCs related to deactivation. Once you’ve read through them, just select the option to ‘Deactivate’

      5. Feel sad that somewhere, a group of Ather software engineers will be dropping everything they are doing to conduct a root cause analysis about why you’re deactivating your account.

      What is the process to delete my account?

      It’s a breezy process that requires no more than 5 clicks. But be warned, making your scooter less smart will not be a breezy experience at all.

      1. Open up your Ather mobile app and head to the ‘Profile’ section.

      2. Select the ‘Settings’ option.

      3. Go to the section titled ‘Manage Account’

      4. You’ll see a set of TnCs related to deactivation. Once you’ve read through them, just select the option to ‘Delete’

      5. Feel sad that somewhere, a product analyst will start crying while adding one more number to the ‘users deleted column’ during their next product metrics review.

      What platforms does this impact?

      The account deactivation and deletion requests are applicable to your Ather Energy mobile application only. Your scooter data is handled separately.

      What happens to my existing data?

      For deactivation, any data previously collected will remain, but no new data will be collected while your account is deactivated. For deletion, all previously collected data is erased.

      What information are you currently collecting and for what purpose?

      • We collect your user name, phone number, email address for identification and account safety.
      • When permitted by you, your device location is collected to enable Ather Grid recommendations to help you navigate to and find your scooter, and to help plan your trips.
      • Some data like your tyre pressure, if you have TPMS installed, and your riding history is sent to your app so that you can take calls on how to manage your tyre pressure and riding style for optimum experience on your Ather scooter. 

      What happens if I opt for account deactivation?

      • On deactivation and deletion of your account, we will stop collecting the aforementioned data, except data required for your identification. The app will revoke all permissions you granted it to access your device’s Bluetooth, Camera, Microphone, Contacts, Phone Storage, and SMS, which are required for you to use integral features of your smart scooter, such as sending location received on WhatsApp to the scooter, receiving calls and controlling media through your scooter dashboard, and uploading documents and saving locations which can be accessed on your scooter.
      • Some smart features on your scooter may be impacted, but you will be able to ride your Ather scooter as you did.

      I have an active Ather Connect subscription. What happens to that

      If you have an ongoing Ather Connect subscription, it will continue to be active and expire as per its original deadline. You will be able to enjoy your Ather Connect features on the Ather App and your smart scooter when you reactivate your app account. For deleted accounts, the subscription will elapse. 

      I have some Ather Credits in my account? Will they expire?

      If you have Ather Credits, they will continue to remain valid and expire as per their original deadline. You will be able to enjoy your Ather Credits on the Ather App when you reactivate your app account. However, for deleted accounts the credits will elapse.

      Note: Ather Credits expire after 180 days of account deactivation

      Can I still access customer support?

      Don’t worry! Even while you’re away, you will be able to access our Customer Support when in need. You can reach out to them on [email protected] or by calling +91 7676 600 900

      I have deactivated my account but wish to activate it again. What’s the procedure?

      Well, we’ll be happy to welcome you back! Just open your Ather App, use your login credentials and proceed with the next steps to have your account reactivated. 

      I have deleted my account but wish to activate it again. What’s the procedure?

      For deleted accounts, you will have to sign up again. 

      When can you not deactivate or delete your Ather app account? 

      Only when you have pending payment charges against the credits extended to you for charging on Ather Grids. You will be able to proceed once you clear the charge.
