Get ready for an exciting addition to the electric scooter market in India! Ather is all set to launch the Ather 450S on August 3, offering a more affordable option for eco-conscious riders. With a price tag of Rs 1.3 lakh (ex-showroom), the 450S aims to make electric mobility accessible to a wider audience.
One of the key differentiators of the Ather 450S is its smaller battery pack compared to its sibling, the 450X. While the 450X comes equipped with a 3.7kWh battery, the 450S opts for a more budget-friendly option. However, this doesn't mean compromising on essential features.
The Ather 450S retains Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to stay connected on the go. You can expect seamless integration with your smartphone, providing access to navigation, vehicle diagnostics, and more. While the 450S shares the same top speed of 90 km/h as the 450X, it's worth noting that the motor might have a slightly lower power output.
A recent update from Ather showcases the segmented LCD dash of the 450S. Though it lacks touch compatibility, it still provides all the essential information at a glance. The inclusion of a color dash adds a modern and vibrant touch to the overall riding experience. Additionally, the 450S might introduce practical features such as passenger footpads and simplified mirror stalks, catering to riders seeking a more versatile and convenient scooter.
With recent changes in the FAME-II subsidy, making electric scooters more expensive, the timing couldn't be better for the Ather 450S's launch. This budget-friendly offering from the Bengaluru-based startup aims to provide a compelling option for those looking to embrace electric mobility without breaking the bank.
While we await the official launch, the Ather 450S holds promise as an exciting addition to the Indian e-scooter market. With its affordability, Bluetooth connectivity, and impressive top speed, it's poised to make a significant impact. Stay tuned for more updates as we delve into a comprehensive review of the Ather 450S, exploring its features, performance, and overall riding experience.
The future of electric mobility is just around the corner with the Ather 450S. Are you ready to join the sustainable revolution?
