Ather 450S Launched with 3.7kWh Battery, Priced at ₹1.46 Lakh

Ather Energy has expanded its flagship 450 series lineup by launching a new 450S variant featuring a larger 3.7kWh battery pack. Priced at ₹1,45,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru), the new scooter delivers a certified range of 161km (IDC), offering the perfect balance of performance, practicality, and affordability.

Bridging the Gap Between Entry and Premium Models

This new 450S variant slots between the entry-level 450S 2.9kWh and the high-end 450X. Aimed at customers who want the longer range and sporty performance of the 450X without paying extra for premium software features, the new variant brings a more accessible offering with nearly the same core hardware.

Ravneet Phokela, Chief Business Officer at Ather Energy, stated:
"The 450 series has always set the benchmark in the Indian electric scooter space. With the new 3.7kWh 450S, we’re extending the 161km range once exclusive to the 450X to a wider audience. This model is tailored for riders who prioritize range and sporty design over advanced digital features."

Design: Familiar Yet Functional

The 3.7kWh version of the Ather 450S retains the aggressive and aerodynamic design that defines the 450 series. It continues with LED headlamps, a sharp silhouette, and clean body lines, all while keeping the scooter lightweight and nimble.

Despite the increase in battery capacity, Ather claims the scooter’s agility and dynamic handling remain unaffected, ensuring the ride quality that fans of the series expect.

Performance: Same Powertrain, Extended Range

The Ather 450S 3.7kWh is equipped with the same 5.4kW electric motor that produces 22Nm of torque, enabling:

• 0-40km/h in 3.9 seconds

• Top speed of 90km/h

Riders can choose from four distinct ride modes:

1. SmartEco

2. Eco

3. Ride

4. Sport

This allows for an ideal mix of efficiency and excitement, depending on road conditions and rider preferences.

Features: Tech-Enabled Riding Experience

The new 450S variant doesn’t skimp on tech. Key features include:

• 7-inch DeepView Display

• Bluetooth connectivity

• Turn-by-turn navigation

• FallSafe (automatic motor shutoff if the scooter falls)

• Emergency Stop Signal

• Tow & Theft Alerts

• Amazon Alexa voice assistant integration (via AtherStack Pro)

• Over-the-air (OTA) updates

• Ather Grid fast-charging support at over 3,300 locations nationwide

For home charging, the battery charges from 0 to 80% in just 4.5 hours using the Ather Dot charger.

Warranty & Service: Peace of Mind for Riders

Ather backs the 450S 3.7kWh with its ‘Eight70’ warranty program, offering:

• 8 years or 80,000km of battery warranty

• Guaranteed minimum 70% battery health

The scooter is also supported by Ather’s expanding network of experience centers, where users can schedule test rides, buy the scooter, or avail after-sales service.

Strengthening Ather’s Position in India’s EV Market

The move also intensifies the competition with rivals like TVS iQube ST, Ola S1 Pro, and Bajaj Chetak, especially in the sub-₹1.5 lakh segment.
