Ather Energy Introduces Pothole Alert Feature for Gen 2 and Newer Scooters
Ather Energy has launched a pothole alert feature for its Gen 2 and newer electric scooters, including models like the 450 Apex, 450X, and Rizta Z. Using data from its connected scooter fleet, the system warns riders of potholes, broken roads, uneven surfaces, and speed breakers via dashboard notifications and audio alerts through Bluetooth devices. The feature, nearly nine years in development, also suggests smoother routes before rides, enhancing rider safety and navigation.
