What gets checked
Ather's periodic service is a multi-point inspection plus a wash. It covers the drive belt and pulleys (on belt-driven models), tyres and brakes, brake fluid, suspension, wheel bearings and seals, chassis fasteners, and a software check with the latest updates installed. Battery diagnostics are run when you report a range or overnight charge-drop concern.

Questions we get asked

Once a year. Its sealed Silent Gear Drive removes the belt that needs regular checks on other models.
