en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ather Energy CEO Tarun Mehta confirmed via social media that the company has rolled out the "Voice on Ather" voice control feature to users of its third-generation and newer scooters. First showcased during Ather Community Day 2025 as part of the company's AtherStack 7 software platform, the feature is now available to eligible users nationwide.
This feature allows riders to control various scooter functions using natural language voice commands via a connected Bluetooth headset or Ather's Halo smart helmet. According to Ather, the system leverages large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing to interpret voice commands, thereby reducing the need for riders to operate the touchscreen while riding.
Voice commands can be used for navigation, vehicle settings, contact calling, and media control. Riders can issue commands such as "Navigate home," "Take me to my destination," or "How far is the nearest charger?" to access navigation functions. Vehicle settings can also be adjusted via voice prompts, including screen brightness, traction control mode, and Magic Twist energy regeneration levels.
The feature also supports calling contacts stored in the connected smartphone and controlling media playback, allowing users to switch tracks or pause music without taking their hands off the handlebars.
Ather stated that the feature was designed with ease of use in mind, especially in situations where operating the touchscreen may be inconvenient or distracting. The company believes that voice-based interaction can serve as a more natural way to control vehicle functions while riding.
The feature is available on Ather 450X, 450 Apex, and Rizta Z models equipped with third-generation or newer hardware, but is not supported on the 450S and Rizta S. Tarun Mehta also revealed that the next phase of development will go beyond one-way voice commands, enabling the scooter to proactively communicate with the rider, with the system potentially providing alerts, suggestions, and feedback based on riding conditions and vehicle status.
