It seems that Ather 450X is doing pretty
great for Ather Energy because it has been only around a month since the new
electric scooter was launched and now it is getting a new edition. Yes, that’s
right, the Bengaluru-based startup has just announced a new Ather 450X
Collector’s Edition.
Well, we have to say that its name indeed
sounds pretty cool. Apart from that, the exact details are
still a bit blurry, but as per the company, this special version would feature
an ‘inside-out’ design. We still don’t know what does that really mean but
perhaps it could have something to do with making the internals of the electric
scooter visible; somewhat similar to Ducati’s dry clutch that the Italians have
used in the past or to put in into a different perspective, recent smartphones
with clear back design.
No matter how cool its name is,
apparently, the 450X Collector’s Edition will be no different than the standard
450X when it comes to performance. It will have the same 6 kW/26 Nm electric
motor which gets its energy from a 2.9 kWh lithium-ion battery. It would also
get the same set of riding modes - Eco, Ride, Sport and a high-performance
'Warp' mode. With a 0-40 km/h sprint time of just 3.3 seconds, the Ather 450X
is the fastest electric scooter in the country.
Just like the performance figures, the
basic equipment of the new Collector’s Edition should include the features
offered in the standard scooter, which have been listed below:
- 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 4G support via an e-SIM
- Onboard diagnostics
- Over-the-air updates
- Guide-me-home lights
- Bluetooth connectivity
This is where things get interesting. The
new Ather 450X Collector’s Edition would cost exactly the same as the standard
450X - INR 1.49 lakh or INR 1.59 lakh depending on the monthly subscription.
However, the catch is, not everyone can buy it. It is available only for those
customers who’ve pre-booked the scooter before 28 January 2020 and will be
built on a made-to-order basis. Perhaps, this is Ather Energy’s kind gesture
towards its loyal customers.
