Features explained

Infinite Cruise, explained

Cruise control on a scooter sounds like a highway feature. Ather's Infinite Cruise is built for the opposite: stop-go city traffic, flyovers and crawling queues. Here is what each part does.

Ather 450 Apex with Infinite Cruise
Infinite Cruise, explained

The three parts

City Cruise

Holds your chosen speed without you holding the throttle, so your wrist can relax on a steady stretch. Touch the brake or the throttle and control returns to you instantly.

Hill Control

Manages speed on slopes — up a flyover ramp or down a basement car-park ramp — so the scooter neither rolls back nor runs away.

Crawl Control

Keeps the scooter moving at walking pace in a crawling queue, so you are not constantly feathering the throttle in Kathipara-style traffic.

Which Athers have it

Infinite Cruise is available on the 450X and the 450 Apex, delivered over the air through AtherStack updates. It is not offered on the 450S, Rizta or Konarc.

Using it safely

Cruise features reduce fatigue; they do not replace attention. Keep a hand ready on the brake in traffic, switch cruise off on wet roads or in heavy rain, and remember that the scooter will not brake for you. The first few times, try City Cruise on a quiet road near home before using it in a queue.

Why it matters on a long commute

Riders who do 30–60 km a day tell us the difference is in their wrist and shoulders at the end of the week. If that sounds like you, Infinite Cruise is one of the stronger reasons to choose a 450X over a 450S. See our long-commute guide.
