A couple of months ago, we exclusively reported that Ather is working on a special edition 450 series e-scooter with more performance to commemorate its 10-year anniversary. And now, Ather has teased the 450 Apex, which will be its most powerful offering yet and will sit at the top of its current lineup of e-scooters. Ather CEO Tarun Mehta, revealed in a recent social media post that the 450 Apex would be ‘the fastest Ather yet’. 

1. Will cost more than the 450X
2. To get a 3.7kWh battery
3. India launch by end-2023 or early 2024

Ather 450 Apex: Fastest of all the Athers

The 450 Apex is likely to be powered by the same 3.7kWh battery as the current 450X. The motor, however, is likely to be more powerful than the one on the 450X, which is rated for 6.4kW/26Nm. The Ather 450 Apex might also break the 100kph threshold and could also have a better 0-40kph acceleration time in comparison to the already zippy Ather 450X.

The 450 Apex could possibly also have transparent side panels, inspired by the Ather 450X Series 1. It is also likely to have different colours to differentiate it from the 450X and 450S. 

Ather 450 Apex: price, India launch details

The 450 Apex will be launched in India soon, possibly even before the 2023 calendar year comes to an end. The 450 Apex will be priced at a premium over the 450X (Rs 1.68 lakh) and it might sit somewhere around the Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom) ballpark.
