Ather Energy EL Platform
These new advancements, showcased alongside the updated popular scooter, the Rizta J8, position Ather as a leader in the competitive electric vehicle market.
The cornerstone of this technological leap is the new EL Platform. Designed with versatility, scalability, and cost optimization at its core, this platform allows Ather to build a diverse range of scooter segments on a single, unified base.
This strategic approach promises to streamline production and accelerate the development of new models. The EL Platform is not just a theoretical concept; it has been meticulously developed based on an extensive 2.6 million kilometers of real-world field data, ensuring its robustness and reliability.
The new architecture features a new chassis, a more efficient powertrain, and a streamlined electronics stack. The tangible benefits for consumers and service centers are significant, including a 15% faster assembly process, a remarkable twice-as-fast servicing time, and an extended service interval of 10,000 kilometers, substantially reducing the total cost of ownership.
Adding to the excitement, Ather also presented the Ather Redux concept, a visionary blend of scooter and motorcycle dynamics.
This concept showcases Ather’s commitment to pushing design and engineering boundaries. The Redux features an ultra-light aluminum frame, a 3D-printed seat for personalized comfort, and Amplitex body panels for durability.
The scooter’s intelligence is equally impressive, with posture-based mode change and the Morph-UI, which adapts to the rider’s needs. The concept also promises ultra-fast acceleration and the seamless integration of a voice assistant, hinting at a new era of interactive and intuitive riding.
The brain behind these advanced features is the new Atherstack 7.0 software. This next-generation software platform elevates the user experience to new heights.
A key highlight is the native voice interaction, which enables smooth and natural conversations with the scooter using advanced natural language processing.
The software also offers a comprehensive suite of safety and convenience features, including real-time alerts, location sharing, live tire pressure updates, and accident alerts.
The “park safe” and “lost mode” functionalities provide added peace of mind for riders. A significant advantage is the ability for the software to receive over-the-air (OTA) updates, ensuring the scooter’s features and performance remain cutting-edge without the need for a service center visit.
The new software also introduces several innovative riding controls. The advanced cruise control and CityCruise features allow for a disengagement-free cruising experience up to 90 km/h, making long rides more comfortable and efficient.
Additionally, the software includes a smart hill control system and crawl control, enhancing the scooter’s performance in challenging urban environments.
The beloved Rizta J8 scooter has received a significant refresh, now equipped with a state-of-the-art touchscreen dashboard, providing a modern and user-friendly interface.
Riders can now choose from a new terracotta red dual-tone color option, adding a touch of style and personality. The updated model also introduces a new Eco Mode, optimizing battery usage for extended range.
To complement these updates, Ather has also rolled out a powerful 6kW fast charger. This new charger is a game-changer for range anxiety, capable of providing up to 30 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes.
This ultra-fast charging capability ensures that riders can quickly top up their batteries and get back on the road with minimal downtime.
The combination of the new EL platform, the smart Atherstack 7.0 software, and the updated Rizta J8 solidifies Ather Energy’s position as an innovator in the electric mobility sector.
With a focus on performance, intelligence, and user experience, these new products and technologies are set to redefine what consumers expect from an electric scooter.
