Ather Electric Scooter: Bengaluru-based Ather Energy has teased a new feature that will be seen in its upcoming electric scooters. We already know that the company will be showcasing its much-awaited EL platform and concept vehicles on August 30, and the latest development focuses on a natural-language voice command functionality. 

Ather's New Voice Command Feature Details

The upcoming voice command feature will be unveiled at the company's annual Community Day 2025. Anything else regarding this is currently under wraps, but we expect Ather to offer this feature through its Halo helmet, showcased at Ather Community Day 2024, along with the Rizta family scooter. To refresh your memory, the Ather Halo, with a battery life of approximately 10 days, features a Harman Kardon speaker integrated into the helmet shell, enabling riders to take phone calls on the fly and control music playback. The full-face helmet is priced at Rs 14,999.
