Electric scooters are becoming a big deal in India, and Ather Energy is making sure they’re at the forefront of this revolution. In May 2020, they brought out their first model, the 450X, and it was a hit thanks to its advanced features like Bluetooth and 4G connectivity. But since then, the electric scooter market in India has grown massively. New companies like Ola Electric have jumped in, and traditional players like TVS are also stepping up their game in the electric segment.

The scooter is the priciest one in its category, especially in Indian currency

Now, Ather is back with something even bigger – the 450 Apex. This is their most advanced model yet, and it’s got some pretty impressive specs. It’s got the most power and the best tech in Ather’s lineup, but it’s also their priciest scooter. In India, it’s selling for Rs 189,000, which is about $2,275 USD. That might sound like a good deal compared to prices in Europe or the US, but it’s pretty steep for the average person in India. For comparison, Ola’s S1 X is almost half the price.

So, what makes the 450 Apex worth its premium price tag? First off, it’s got a powerful 7-kilowatt motor that lets it zip up to 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour). Plus, its battery life is solid – it can go up to 157 kilometers (98 miles) on a single charge. Ather says the 450 Apex can go from zero to 40 kilometers per hour (25 miles per hour) in just 2.9 seconds, beating its predecessor, the 450X.

The 450 Apex isn’t just about speed; it’s got six different ride modes, including a new one called Warp Plus for extra oomph. It’s also got all the cool features from the 450X, like a big seven-inch screen that connects to your phone, LED lights, and helpful stuff like park assist and hill hold. It weighs in at 111.6 kilograms (246 pounds), which is manageable for most riders, and it’s got good safety features like disc brakes on both wheels. And just like other Ather scooters, it comes with a five-year or 60,000-kilometer (37,000 miles) warranty.
