Ather 450X 2.9 kWh

Ather Energy has revised its 450 electric scooter line-up with the launch of the entry-level 450S and refreshed 450X. The 450S, which was first announced a couple of months ago, is available in two variants – Core (Rs 1.30 lakh) and Pro (Rs 1.43 lakh), making it the most affordable Ather one can buy today. Equipped with a 2.9 kWh lithium-ion battery, the 450S has a certified range of up to 115 kilometres, while real-world range is pegged at 90 kilometres (in SmartEco mode).

A clear differentiator for the 450S is on its dashboard – out goes the 450X’s 7.0-inch touchscreen, and in its place comes a 7.0-inch ‘Deepview’ digital cluster. In Pro form, the 450S will have multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, auto-hold, turn-by-turn navigation powered by MapMyIndia and four ride modes (SmartEco, Eco, Ride and Sport; no ride modes for the Core version). A joystick is used to access functions on the 450S’ digital dashboard.
