KATHMANDU: Ather Energy has introduced a new voice command function for its e-scooters. The feature, called ‘Voice on Ather’, is available on Gen 3 and newer models.
It is offered on the Ather 450X, 450 Apex, and Rizta Z variants.
With this update, riders can control multiple functions using natural voice commands. The system works through a Bluetooth headset or Ather’s Halo smart helmet.
Users can operate navigation, search for locations, and find nearby charging stations. It also allows adjustment of vehicle settings, including traction control and Magic Twist regeneration levels.
The feature supports smartphone connectivity. Riders can make calls and control music playback using voice input.
According to Ather, the system is designed for ease of use. It uses large language models and natural language processing to understand commands.
The company said future updates will enable the scooter to interact proactively. It will provide alerts, suggestions, and feedback to the rider.
