Performance and Practicality
The new 450S variant is engineered for those who want more kilometres per charge without compromising on the performance DNA that defines the Ather badge. Until now, the extended 161 km range was exclusive to the top-end 450X, but with this latest update, Ather is bringing that capability to a wider audience at a more accessible price point.
This mid-tier 450S 3.7 kWh model strikes a fine balance between affordability and extended range, offering an ideal solution for urban commuters who also crave the occasional spirited ride.
Power and Style
Despite the bigger battery, the updated 450S retains its aggressive styling, aerodynamic profile, and signature LED lighting setup. It also continues to be powered by the same 5.4 kW electric motor, churning out 22 Nm of torque. A 0-40 km/h sprint in just 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 90 km/h ensure that the scooter still delivers a dynamic riding experience. Four distinct ride modes - SmartEco, Eco, Ride, and Sport - give riders the flexibility to switch between range-friendly and performance-oriented riding.
Feature-Packed
Ather has loaded the new variant with several advanced features, including a vibrant 7-inch DeepView display with Bluetooth support, navigation, adaptive brightness, and OTA (Over-The-Air) updates. It also offers multiple rider assistance systems like AutoHold, Emergency Stop Signal, Fall Safe, and Theft & Tow Alerts. Amazon Alexa integration and AtherStack Pro features ensure the scooter stays connected and smart.
Charging is hassle-free, with the scooter supporting both Ather Grid fast-charging (3,300+ points nationwide) and home charging - going from 0 to 80% in just 4.5 hours.
Long-Term Assurance on Offer
Buyers will also benefit from the company's industry-leading 'Ather Eight70' warranty program, which covers the battery for 8 years or 80,000 km (whichever comes first) while ensuring at least 70% battery health throughout.
