Dimensions

While Ola S1 X is wider, taller, and offers more wheelbase than the Ather 450 S, it falls short in length and ground clearance. Also, the boot space of the Ola is a massive 12 litres extra than the Ather 450 S at 34 litres.

While styling is a subjective topic, we like the approach of both models for staying true to what they went out to achieve. Who do you think comes out on top as far as styling is concerned?

Features

Ather 450 S comes equipped with a 7-inch "DeepView" display, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, and a robust focus on safety, the scooter presents features such as Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), FallSafe™, Dual disc brakes, Side-stand sensors, Auto indicator cut-off, and Guide-me-home light, among other functionalities. Choosing the Pro Pack adds extra benefits like coasting regen, vehicle fall safety, tow and theft alerts, along with access to various ride modes and Bluetooth connectivity.

The 4 kWh version is characterized by a 10.9 cm segmented display and Digital key unlock with keyless unlock. This model features Bluetooth connectivity, side-stand alert, cruise control, and reverse assist. Where it falls short is that there is no navigation support in any of the variants. It also misses out on disc brakes and gets drums on both wheels.
