Ather Energy has introduced a new over-the-air (OTA) update for its 450X electric scooter, focusing on energy restoration through regeneration displayed on the digital console.

The Ather 450X offers two regenerative options: Active and Braking regen. Active regen requires the rider to twist the throttle forward gently, reducing the scooter's speed. On the contrary, braking regen comes into play when applying the brakes, subsequently charging the battery pack. To further simplify the process, to engage active regeneration, twist the throttle forward, and for brake regeneration, simply engage the brakes.

 

The digital console on the 450X exhibits regenerative efforts, whether through the Active Regeneration or Braking Regeneration feature. Regenerative braking functions like a generator, channelling energy back into the hybrid or electric system, thereby extending the vehicle's range. Electric vehicles equipped with regenerative braking tend to offer improved city ranges.
