Expert Tips to Maximize Range on Ather Scooters

EV users generally feel range anxiety, just when they are miles away from their destination. However, Ather scooters are designed to offer maximum range and performance, but real range is dependent on how a user drives his electric scooter. 

Whether you are driving the Ather 450X or new Rizta, here are some tips which can help you extract some more Km from your scooter’s batteries. 

Expert Tips to increase your Scooter’s Range

• The Power of Smooth Riding: Aggressive riding just kills your scooter’s effective range as sudden acceleration extracts more current from the motor, draining the battery at a rapid rate. In order to get effective range figures, always use the throttle gradually and maintain a constant speed. 

• Don’t Ignore your Tires: Low tire pressure increases the rolling resistance which makes your motor work hard indirectly diminishing your battery. Thus it is advisable to keep your tires in the range of 30 PSI (Front) and 32 PSI (Rear) to ensure a smooth ride and increased battery life.

• Smart Modes: The Ather scooters get various modes such as Eco, SmartEco, and Zip Mode. However, driving in Zip Mode can be engaging, but always choose to drive in SmartEco mode as it cleverly optimizes the performance in order to provide you enough range to reach your destination. 

• Regenerative Braking: Utilise the regen braking as much as you can. Switching on the regenerative braking can turn your scooter’s motor into a generator. This turns the used energy back to battery, adding up to 10% more range in every ride. 

• Manage the Invisible Drain: Your scooter is even connected when parked. This can lead to a battery loss of around 2-3% overnight. If you have parked your scooter in safe parking and don’t need GPS or other remote control functionality, consider turning it off to save some battery for your next ride. 

Conclusion

Thus extracting effective range from your scooter doesn’t mean riding slow, but it’s more about riding smart. Start implementing these tips into your daily drives and you will witness your range figures significantly going up.
