Electric scooter manufacturer Ather Energy has launched its latest electric scooter, the 450X Gen-3. The new scooter introduces the next generation of its 450 platform and comes with a host of new features that enhance its performance and ride consistency. Introduced at a price of ₹155,657 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru), the new vehicle will be available in all experience centres across the country from July 20 (Wednesday).
‘Next level’ offering
The 450X Gen 3 is equipped with a 3.7 kWh battery that enables users to ride in the ‘Warp’ (Ather’s high-performance mode) through every ride. It is also 25 per cent larger than the previous generation, giving an ARAI-certified range of 146 km and a true range of 105 km.
“We have doubled down on the performance parameters and taken it to the next level to offer a thrilling experience. The Gen 3 offers more range to consumers looking for exciting yet reliable and consistently performing electric scooters,” said Tarun Mehta, Co-Founder & CEO, Ather Energy. The 450X Gen 3 will be pivotal in growing the electric two-wheeler (E2W) segment in the country and taking it mainstream as the company continues to expand footprint, he added.
