Ather Rizta Safety Features
This scooter comes with Ather Skid Control (ASC) , a pretty clever system that acts like a traction controller system for your scooter. It uses wheel speed sensors to detect rear-wheel slippage, a common cause of loss of control on low-grip surfaces like rain, sand, or oil. When ASC detects a slip, it modulates the motor torque to regain the balance, helping you maintain control and avoid skidding.
Emergency Stop Signal (ESS): This new feature prioritizes rear-end collision. During emergency braking, the ESS automatically activates the hazard lights with a faster blinking pattern, alerting vehicles behind you to react quicker.
Ather Fall Safe: This feature prioritizes protecting you and your scooter in the event of a tip-over. In such situations, the Ather Fall Safe system automatically cuts off the motor, preventing accidental injuries or the scooter from rolling away uncontrollably. This provides valuable peace of mind, especially for new riders.
