The company has also introduced updated variants and added several new features to its electric scooters.
The new Ather 450 series comes with multiple variants to cater to different consumer preferences and needs. The variant-wise pricing is as follows:

The pricing reflects the advancements in the scooter's technology, along with a host of new updates for 2025, making the models safer and more efficient.
A major highlight of the 2025 Ather 450X and 450 Apex variants is the introduction of multi-mode traction control, which is designed to enhance rider safety. The traction control system ensures better stability on low-friction surfaces by synchronizing the rear wheel speed with the front wheel. The system is equipped with three different riding modes:
Rain Mode: Prioritizes maximum safety, enhancing grip and preventing slips on wet or slippery surfaces.
Road Mode: Balances safety and performance, offering a comfortable experience for everyday riding.
Rally Mode: Designed for off-road riders, it allows controlled slip, enabling better performance on rough terrains.
These modes enhance the rider's control in various riding conditions, boosting confidence while ensuring safety.
Ather has focused on improving the range of its 2025 Ather 450 series by incorporating multi-compound tyres developed in partnership with MRF. These tires are designed to enhance overall efficiency and minimize energy loss. Additionally, the company has optimized energy usage by introducing the Magic Twist feature. This feature reduces energy loss during braking and improves the scooter's range.
The range improvements are notable across all variants:
Ather 450X 3.7kWh: Up to 130km of TrueRange (IDC range 161km).
Ather 450 Apex: Up to 130km of TrueRange (IDC range 157km).
Ather 450X 2.9kWh: Up to 105km of TrueRange (IDC range 126km).
Ather 450S: Up to 105km of TrueRange (IDC range 122km).
These enhancements ensure that riders can travel longer distances with fewer concerns about battery life.
The MagicTwist feature, which was previously available only on the 450 Apex, is now also available on the 2025 Ather 450X. This feature enables the rider to modulate deceleration with the throttle alone. The throttle allows riders to twist to accelerate and twist in the reverse direction to control deceleration at all charge levels, offering greater convenience and control during rides.
The 2025 Ather 450 scooters come equipped with AtherStack 6, the latest version of Ather’s software engine. This updated version includes several new features such as:
Google Maps integration
Alexa support
WhatsApp notifications on the dashboard
'Ping My Scooter' for locating the vehicle
Live location sharing
These features enhance the scooter’s connectivity, making the riding experience smarter and more convenient.
Ather Energy offers an Eight70 warranty for the 2025 Ather 450 series. This warranty covers up to 8 years or 80,000 km, whichever comes first, with 70% battery health assurance for the entire 8 years. Additionally, the 2025 Ather 450X 2.9kWh variant is now bundled with Ather Duo, which reduces the charging time from 0-80% to just 3 hours.
For the 450 Apex variant, Ather has bundled the smart helmet – Halo, offering enhanced safety and convenience for riders.
