AutoHold
Stop on a slope — a flyover queue, a temple approach, a basement ramp — and AutoHold keeps the scooter from rolling back. When you twist the throttle, it releases smoothly and you pull away. No juggling of brake and throttle, and no lurch backwards into the car behind.
On the Konarc 2.1 kWh, AutoHold is activated with the brake lever; on the other variants it works as standard.
Reverse Park Assist
Engage reverse and the scooter backs up slowly under its own power. On a 125 kg scooter with a pillion, that is the difference between paddling backwards out of a tight spot and simply rolling out. The speed is deliberately low so it stays easy to control.
Where they help most
- Apartment car parks, where you are wedged between cars and a pillar.
- Steep driveways and ramps.
- Flyover traffic — Kathipara, Koyambedu, Vadapalani — where queues stop on an incline.
- Senior and new riders, for whom both features remove a source of stress. See our senior riders guide.
Tips for first-time users
Practise reverse in an empty space before using it beside parked cars, and look behind you rather than relying on hearing — the scooter is quiet. On a very steep or wet slope, keep a hand on the brake as AutoHold releases until you are used to how it feels.
Questions we get asked
Reverse Mode or Reverse Park Assist is listed across the current Ather range. Ask us to demonstrate it on the model you are considering.
Yes, but on the 2.1 kWh variant it is activated with the brake lever.
No. Reverse speed is deliberately limited so it is easy to control in tight spaces.
