Upcoming Ather Scooter
This design patent is most likely for Ather's upcoming electric two-wheeler which is touted to be their most affordable in the lineup. Currently, Ather has three scooters in its lineup - Rizta, 450 and 450 Apex. Their most affordable one - Rizta starts at upwards of Rs 1 lakh, which puts it into a premium two-wheeler category and the 450 series crosses the Rs 1.50 lakh mark before taxes. The upcoming cost-effective scooter could become a direct rival to the likes of Honda QC1, TVS iQube and Ola S1 X.
Talking about the design patent, it showcases a boxy, more vertical style front shroud, with a chunky squarish size headlight area, which will most likely be by full LED. Plus, the overall silhouette is flat, unlike any other Ather scooter on sale. To add more, we can see the handlebar positioning area, and just observing it, we anticipate this could again feature sporty aesthetics.
Expectations
As this will be an affordable option - we believe it will carry a smaller battery pack of a maximum of 2.5 kWh - with a 120 km range of offer. A basic LCD with limited features, LED light setup, and a key entry system. As this will be another product, dual tone treatment is expected, and lastly, the expected price for this one according to us is Rs 75,000 to Rs 80,000.

Verdict
It's too early to go into details of this scooter, as only its front shroud photo is leaked, which is basically a 5% part of it. No information on its launch or anything, and the least we can expect is its price range. However, this one has the potential to make Ather a household name as their scooters have created a name for themselves in the premium segment, and recently Rizta sales crossed 1 lakh units.
