Ather has introduced the new Ather 450 Apex, the company’s next electric scooter, in an online event, after teasers. This comes in a new Indium Blue colour with a depth of red and a satin-like feel. There are transparent panels for the chassis that are glossy outside, frosted inside. The main highlight is the 100Kmph speed with the new Warp+ mode, thanks to the 7.0 kW Peak Motor Power, even though Max torque is the same 26 Nm. From throttle input to wheel movement, it takes just 90 ms, says the company. It can do 0 to 40 in 2.9 seconds, making it 4 seconds faster than the Ather 450x Gen 3.
The new Magic Twist lets you slow down and
even stop the scooter when you reverse the throttle. This works differently
compared to regen, says the company. It has the same 3.7kWh battery with 110 KM
Trurange and 157 Km certified range, same fast charging rate. It has the same
screen and dashboard features.
The Ather 450 Apex starts at Rs. 1,89,000
(ex-showroom, Bengaluru), is now available to book on the Ather website, and
will roll out starting from March 2024. According to the website, FAME II
subsidy is not available for the model, that is the reason for the price
increase.
The Ather 450 Apex also includes Ather
Connect connected and smart features free for 3 years, Ather Battery Protect
for 5 years or 60000 KM and Apex collectibles that includes Handcrafted helmet,
Ather TPMS, Neckgaiter, Iron-on patch and a Key chain.
