1. Voice-Enabled Controls
Ever wished you could talk to your scooter? With voice interaction powered by a language model tuned for Indian dialects, riders can now issue simple commands. From navigation to quick checks, this makes hands-free riding safer and more natural.
2. Pothole Alerts for Safer Roads
India’s biggest road challenge? Potholes. AtherStack 7.0 introduces a ‘bumpy road alert’ feature that warns riders about potholes ahead. Currently mapped for Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and Chennai, this feature even offers alternate routes with fewer potholes.
3. Crash Detection and Emergency Alerts
In case of an accident, the scooter now automatically alerts three emergency contacts with live location details. This information also shows up on the dashboard so that bystanders can help. A major step toward rider safety.
4. Parking Zone Warnings
Parking in the wrong spot can mean fines or worse, towing. With ParkSafe integration, riders will now be warned about tow-away zones based on historical data – reducing the chances of unpleasant surprises.

5. LockSafe: Anti-Theft Protection
Scooter theft is a real concern. With LockSafe, owners can remotely immobilize their scooter via the Ather app. Even if a thief has the physical key, the app can override it – giving riders more control and peace of mind.
6. Remote Charging Control
Charging doesn’t always need supervision. With this update, you can stop charging remotely via the app, without unplugging. This also helps manage electricity usage better when charging at home.
7. Remote Shutdown of Scooter
Another convenience upgrade: riders can now remotely shut down their scooter directly from the app. Whether for safety, theft prevention, or saving battery, this feature puts more control in the rider’s hands.
8. Cricket Score on the Dashboard
Not all updates are about safety—some are about fun. With live cricket scores available on the scooter dashboard, riders can stay updated on matches. A mini-scorecard appears while riding, and a full scoreboard when parked.
Conclusion: Smarter, Safer, and More Fun
The Ather Stack 7.0 update is a blend of safety, convenience, and entertainment. From pothole alerts to remote shutdowns and even live cricket scores, it reflects what Indian riders truly want. For Ather owners, this OTA update isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a promise of a smarter future in urban commuting.
