Features
As part of the latest AtherStack 5.0 software update, the Gen 3 scooters get a host of changes which can be accessed on the seven-inch colour touchscreen. Firstly, the layout of the console itself has been subtly changed, with icons like Bluetooth and time readout moving to the top right, similar to that on a mobile phone. It also comes with several gesture functions for better user interface. The Ather 450X already has Google maps on offer, but the update revises this too, with new 3D Vector Maps, which allow for perspective change, akin to Android Auto seen in cars, as well as traffic updates, giving you an ever clearer estimation of when you’ll reach your destination. A trip planner is also offered, so you can plan stops along your route, say to accommodate charging stations, on longer trips. Also on offer is AutoHold (or hill hold) which can function almost indefinitely, till you tap on the brakes to disengage it. The lighting system is all-LED, and the electric scooter also features Bluetooth connection based music and call controls. Moreover, the 450X comes with integrated 4G LTE SIM connectivity. It also gets 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. The updated 450X also features a redesigned seat for better rider and pillion comfort. It is backwards compatible with 450X as well.
