Ather has revised the prices for its most accessible offering, the 450S, and the e-scooter now starts at Rs 1,09,999, without the Pro Pack. Speccing the 450S with the Pro Pack will add Rs 10,000 to the price and unlock a whole host of connected and smart features.
- Mechanically identical to earlier model
- Gets an LCD display unlike TFT on 450X
The 450S is powered by a 2.9kWh battery with an IDC-claimed range of 115km in its lowest SmartEco mode, while claimed real-world range is 90km. Home charging is quite slow with 0-80 percent taking 6hr 36min, but the 450S can be topped up at any Ather Grid fast-charging station at the rate of 1.5km/min.
With 5.4kW and 22Nm of torque on offer, the 450S is still a zippy little thing, and has a claimed top speed of 90kph. With the Pro Pack, you even get access to features such as coasting regen, vehicle fall safe, and tow and theft alerts, in addition to access to all the ride modes and Bluetooth connectivity.
At its new price, the Ather 450S sits neatly below its closest rivals – Bajaj Chetak Urbane (Rs 1.15 lakh), base TVS iQube (Rs 1.23 lakh) and Ola S1 Air (Rs 1.20 lakh).
All prices ex-showroom, Bengaluru, including charger and applicable subsidies.
