Ather Konarc
Ather has finally gone after the mass market with the Konarc, its new entry-level scooter and the most affordable model the brand has built yet, undercutting even the Rizta. It's the first production model on Ather's new EL platform, a scalable architecture meant to eventually spawn scooters across body styles and price points. On the Konarc, that translates to a 1,352mm wheelbase, longer than the Rizta's, paired with 100mm of suspension travel front and rear, a metal body (a first for Ather), and six variants split across two lineups, S-Line and Z-Line. It's a clear step toward comfort and stability over Ather's sportier models, and a real bid to widen the brand's reach.

Konarc Highlights
Buyers who want Ather's premium engineering and tech at a more accessible price, without stretching for the 450 range.
Ground-up engineering, not a cheaper Rizta, longest wheelbase, real suspension travel, quick-swap serviceability.
Claimed 200km range doesn't show up anywhere in the lineup yet, TrueRange tops out at 130km, and the entry S 100 still gets drum brakes with just a 4.2 inch display.

Expert Verdict on Konarc

Pros & Cons of Konarc
What we admire in this scooter
Real-world TrueRange caps at 130km on the flagship S 161, a full 31km short of its own IDC claim
Rs 1 lakh buys drum brakes front and rear, a phone-sized 4.2 inch display, and no music or call alerts over Bluetooth
The headline safety tech, AEBS, only exists on the priciest Z 161, not across the line Ather is advertising
MagicKey's boot AutoPop, and dashboard Google Maps and WhatsApp are Z-only exclusives, absent even on the mid-spec S 125
Walk into an Ather Space for the base variant and you're choosing between two colours while everyone above you picks from four
What could have been better
TrueRange (80-130km) sits well below the IDC figures (100-161km)
Base S 100 gets drum brakes on both ends, a 4.2 inch display, no Ather Grid access, and no BT call/music alerts
AEBS, MagicKey with boot AutoPop, and dashboard Google Maps/WhatsApp are locked to the Z variant only
Base variant limited to 2 colours versus 4 on the rest of the range
Should I buy the Konarc?
If you're looking for a practical, well-built first EV scooter for daily commuting and don't need the flashier tech, the S 125 makes the most sense, it balances range, disc brakes and Ather Connect without overpaying for what the base variant lacks. Hold off on the Z variant until Ather announces its price, since paying a premium for AutoPop, MagicKey and AEBS only makes sense once you know exactly what that premium costs. For most buyers, the Konarc is a solid, sensible upgrade from a petrol scooter, just don't walk in expecting the S 100 to feel as premium as the reviews around this launch might suggest.
- The Konarc trades the sharp, sporty stance of the 450 series for a boxier, family-first silhouette, with a handlebar-mounted headlamp and a horizontal LED DRL strip on the front apron that gives it a clean, uncluttered face rather than the aggressive look Ather is known for.
- Underneath, it debuts a steel unibody chassis, the first metal body Ather has ever built, replacing the polymer panels used across the Rizta and 450 range. This should translate to a more rigid, planted feel on rough roads, something plastic-bodied scooters often struggle with.
- At 1,352mm, the Konarc has the longest wheelbase in Ather's lineup, comfortably ahead of the Rizta's 1,285mm. Combined with 90mm of front and 100mm of rear suspension travel, this is clearly tuned for stability over agility, a deliberate choice given who Ather expects to buy this scooter.
- It rides on 14-inch front and 12-inch rear alloy wheels across the board, but braking hardware is split by variant: the S 100 gets drums at both ends, while the S 125, S 161 and Z variants step up to a 220mm front disc, keeping the more confident stopping power reserved for anyone spending above the base price.
- The long, flat single-piece seat and spacious floorboard reinforce that family-use intent, with room for two adults and enough space to stand a bag between your feet, unlike the stepped, sportier seats on the 450X.
- Colour choices scale with variant: the base S 100 gets just Quartz White and Majestic Grey, while the S 125, S 161 and Z variants unlock Celestial Gold and Lumen Copper as well, so the more premium palette is reserved for buyers spending more.
- Display duty is split by variant: the S 100 makes do with a compact 4.2 inch DeepView screen, while the S 125, S 161 and both Z variants step up to a larger 7 inch DeepView display, so the entry model looks noticeably plainer at the handlebar than the rest of the range.
- Every Konarc gets Park Assist reverse, which uses the motor to help walk the scooter backwards out of a tight parking spot, and AutoHold, which keeps it stationary at a signal without the rider holding the brake, both genuinely useful in stop-start city traffic.
- Ather Connect, the app suite covering theft and tow alerts, ride stats and Find My Scooter, is missing entirely on the S 100 and only becomes standard from the S 125 upward, a meaningful gap for anyone buying the cheapest variant expecting Ather's full connected experience.
- AutoPop lets the Konarc Z 161's boot spring open on its own the moment it's unlocked via the app or MagicKey, no manual lifting needed. It's built for real-world moments like walking up with grocery bags or a kid in one arm, when hands-free access actually matters. The catch: it's locked to the priciest variant, so the buyer who'd benefit most from it is the one paying the most to get it.
- The real technology gulf sits with the Z line. AEBS, Ather's new electronic braking system aimed at shorter stopping distances and less rear-wheel lock-up, along with MagicKey app-based boot access, plus Google Maps, WhatsApp and live cricket scores on the dashboard, are all locked to the Z variant, none of it trickles down to the S range.
- A 31-litre boot, an 18W USB Type-C port and an underseat lamp are shared across the lineup, so the basics of daily practicality remain consistent even where the tech doesn't.
- Three battery packs headline the launch lineup: a 2.1kWh unit on the S 100, 2.7kWh on the S 125, and 3.5kWh on the S 161, each paired with a PMSM motor that's IP67-rated for dust and water resistance, matched by an equally IP67-rated, aluminium-cased battery.
Claimed IDC range climbs from 100km to 161km across the three, but Ather's own TrueRange figures, measured in SmartEco mode and a more honest real-world indicator, land lower at 80km, 100km and 130km respectively, a gap worth knowing before picking a variant based on the bigger number alone. - Power output splits the S 100 from the rest: 4kW and 16Nm on the base variant versus 4.7kW and 16Nm on the S 125 and S 161, though all three are capped at the same 70km/h top speed, so the extra power shows up more in acceleration than outright speed.
- A 450W onboard charger comes standard across the board, and can be paired with a 900W off-board unit for a combined 1.35kW charging capacity, cutting the S 161's 0-80% charge time from 5hr 40min down to 3hr 10min.
- Warranty scales with intent: 3 years/30,000km as standard, extendable to 5 years/60,000km, with a further 8-year/80,000km or 10-year/1,00,000km extension available as a paid add-on, but only for buyers who also opt into AtherStack Pro.
