Ather could also announce a new scooter at this highly anticipated event. This scooter could be a more affordable version of the 450X or it could be an all-new product altogether with a maxi-scooter design. The company will likely introduce this product to challenge Ola’s upcoming scooter, the S1 Air. Ather could price its new scooter around Rs 1 lakh.
The company already has two premium scooters in its line-up – the 450 Plus and the 450X. Therefore, it makes sense for Ather to introduce a product which appeals to buyers who are on a budget. Ather’s new scooter might use a simpler tubular steel frame as opposed to 450x’s superior aluminium lattice frame to cut down on costs.
A new limited-edition model like the 450X Series 1 might also be on the cards. Ather launched the third generation of 450X in July 2022. The third gen Ather 450X comes with a bigger 3.7kWh battery along with new MRF tyres. The latest Ather 450X offers a claimed real-world range of 105km against the previous 85km (in Eco mode).
Moreover, the electric scooter can now hit a top speed of about 90kph due to the improved performance of its battery. Ather has also updated the 450X’s 7.0-inch TFT display by doubling its RAM from 1GB to 2GB.
