Ather Energy has officially launched the new 450S model, which costs ₹1.46 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) and comes with a 3.7 kWh battery pack. With the same motor configuration and performance specifications as the previous model, this update significantly increases the IDC-certified range to 161 km.
Bigger Battery, Better Range
The 3.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, which replaces the previous 2.9 kWh model, is the update’s main feature. With this enhancement, riders seeking longer daily usability are able to get an incredible 161 km of range on a single charge with the Ather 450S.
The 5.4 kW electric motor is being kept by Ather despite the larger battery, guaranteeing that performance stays exciting and quick. The scooter’s highest speed of 90 km/h and maximum torque of 22 Nm are still available.
Charging & Features
Charge times are still reasonable; a typical home charger is able to charge a battery from 0% to 80% in roughly 6 hours and 36 minutes. Fast charging via Ather’s Grid network is also supported by the scooter.
Smart connectivity options like these are still available in the 450S 3.7 model.
- 7-inch DeepView LCD display
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Navigation assist
- Ride modes (SmartEco, Eco, Ride, and Sport)
Pricing and Competition
At ₹1.46 lakh (ex-showroom Bengaluru), the Ather 450S 3.7 costs enough to compete with the increasing number of mid-range electric scooters on the Indian market. TVS iQube ST, Ola S1 Air, and Bajaj Chetak Urbane are among its competitors.
What It Means for Buyers
Ather is obviously trying to appeal to range-conscious EV buyers with this introduction, without sacrificing features or performance. For everyday riders and urban commuters, the 3.7 kWh battery version of the 450S is an alluring option since it balances affordability and practicality.
The launch of the Ather 450S 3.7 kWh variant strengthens the company’s electric scooter lineup by offering more range at a competitive price. It raises the bar for what an inexpensive, high-end EV scooter in India can provide with its elegant appearance, clever features, and reliable performance.
