Ather Halo Smart Helmets
Ather Energy has introduced the Ather Halo helmet, a smart helmet designed to improve the electric scooter riding experience. This helmet uses Ather’s own technology to focus on safety and convenience. It seamlessly integrates technology into your ride. Let’s look at the Ather Halo in detail:
Ather Halo
The Ather Halo is the full-faced version of Ather’s smart helmets, priced at ₹ 14,999 in India. It comes with many useful features, including a Harman Kardon sound system, automatic wear detection, and wireless charging. The sound system plays music that feels like listening to music inside a car without blocking traffic noise. You can easily make phone calls directly from the helmet by connecting it to your vehicle. For the first 1000 buyers, the Ather Halo is available for ₹ 12,999.
Ather Halo Bit
The Ather Halo Bit is a more affordable half-faced option, costing ₹ 4,999 in India. It can be upgraded to a smart helmet by using the “Halo Bit” attachment (details about this attachment are yet to be announced by Ather). Both the rider and pillion can listen to the same music if they are wearing smart Halo helmets.

Ather Halo Helmet Features
The Ather Halo series is an innovative development by Ather Energy, offering many practical features for both riders and pillions. Here are some key features:
Ather Chitchat
The Ather Halo has a built-in intercom system that allows clear communication with your pillion rider. This system ensures good audio quality without disturbing the surrounding traffic. It provides a similar experience to having a cabin-like sound system while riding.
Premium Audio Experience
The Ather Halo smart helmets feature premium speakers from Harman Kardon, known for their excellent sound quality. This allows you to enjoy music and take calls with clarity while riding your Ather electric scooter.
Wireless Charging
Ather’s smart helmets have wireless charging. You can simply place your helmet in the under-seat storage of your scooter after a ride, and it will charge automatically. This eliminates the need for chargers and ensures your helmet is ready for your next trip.
Great Battery Life
The Ather Halo has a battery life of 10 days on a single charge because it uses Bluetooth to function. However, with the wireless charging feature, the battery remains charged when not in use.
Safety and Design
Just like their electric scooters, Ather prioritizes safety in its smart helmet series. The Ather Halo has ISI and Global DOT certification, meeting high safety standards. The helmets are built to be very strong, with a comfortable interior and a well-designed outer shell for a good fit and aerodynamics. Ventilation channels help keep riders cool and comfortable during long rides.
The Ather Halo smart helmet series is just the beginning of smart helmets in India. Future versions may include features like a Heads-Up Display (HUD), advanced navigation systems, and environment monitoring. Overall, the design and features of the Ather Halo smart helmet series point towards a future of connected electric scooters, advancing micro-mobility in India.
I’m Rohan Mehta, the voice behind KhelRe—a trusted and steadily growing blog dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. With over five years of experience as a tech and automotive blogger, I turned my frustrations with owning an EV into a mission: to help others make more intelligent choices in this fast-evolving world of electric mobility.
I’ve been an early adopter of EV technology—I repurchased my first electric scooter in 2019. That experience opened my eyes to both the promises and the pitfalls of this new mode of transport. From slow charging times and range anxiety to misleading specs and hidden costs, I’ve faced it all. But instead of walking away, I decided to write about it.
That’s how KhelRe was born—a no-nonsense, hands-on blog where I share practical, real-world reviews of EV cars, bikes, and scooters. I break down features, range, performance, and pricing from a user-first perspective. I take pride in simplifying complex tech into clear, valuable insights—offering tips, ownership stories, and advice you won’t find in flashy press releases or sales brochures.
Whether you’re a first-time EV buyer or just a curious auto enthusiast, my goal is to help you navigate the EV landscape with confidence. My motto: “EV knowledge should come from experience, not just brochures.”
When I’m not test-driving the latest e-scooter or comparing charging networks, you’ll probably find me tinkering with my garage EV setup, chatting with fellow enthusiasts online, or sipping chai while writing my next blog post from a cosy local café.
