Ather Energy unveiled the 450S electric scooter – two months after it was first announced. The Ather 450S is a revised version of the Ather 450X but has the same 90km/h top speed. It also has a lower Certified Range of 115km compared to the 450X at 146km.
The Ather 450S features Turn by Turn Navigation instead of Google Maps featured in its predecessor. It has an LCD screen with an auto-brightness option, unlike the touchscreen in the 450X. The 450S display is called DeepView Display and Ather says it is the industry’s first 18-segment display with exceptional clarity and high contrast. The DeepView Display is clearly visible even in bright or low light conditions.
The TrueRange of the Ather 450S is 90km and 70km in Smart Eco and Sports modes respectively. Using the Ather Grid, the 450S, and 450X have the same fast charging rate. You can charge the e-scooter from 0-50% at 1.5km/min and from 50-80% at 1km/min. It also retains Bluetooth connectivity for music controls. The bike also features a new switchgear on the left to switch riding modes and access smart features.
Ather Energy also included a park assist button on the bike. Safety and security features on the 450S include Fall Safe, Emergency Stop Signal, Push Navigation from WhatsApp, and Theft and Tow, among others. The scooter also provides Optimized Charging 2.0 to choose an optimal time to fully charge your bike overnight.
The Ather 450S has a starting price of Rs. 137,950 (~$19,058). Ather is also offering the new 450X 3.7kWh battery version later this year starting at Rs. 144,871 (~$20,015). There are no indications yet of the availability of the new e-scooter in other markets.
