As the launch date of the highly anticipated Ather 450 Apex approaches, Ather Energy has unveiled key details about booking the electric scooter, the delivery timeline, and some exciting new features.
Booking Details and Delivery Timeline
Enthusiasts can secure their Ather 450 Apex by booking with a refundable amount of Rs 2,500. The deliveries of this futuristic electric scooter are set to commence in March 2024, building anticipation among those eagerly awaiting a blend of cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly mobility.
New Features Unveiled
1. Warp+ Riding Mode
Ather Energy has introduced a new riding mode called Warp+. This mode, likely replacing the existing Warp mode in the 450 Apex, promises even quicker acceleration. Considering that the Warp mode in the 450X already positions it as one of the fastest accelerating scooters in the country, the Warp+ mode is set to elevate the electric riding experience to new heights.
2. Multi-Level Regen Braking
Another notable feature hinted by the teaser is multi-level regenerative braking. In contrast to the 450X's coasting regen, the 450 Apex is expected to offer a more sophisticated braking system. This innovation aligns with Ather Energy's commitment to enhancing rider control and efficiency.
3. Transparent Panels Making a Comeback
Ather Energy had earlier hinted at the return of transparent panels, and the company has now officially confirmed that the 450 Apex will feature these distinct panels. This aesthetic touch adds a futuristic and unique element to the scooter's design.
4. Color Scheme: Indium Blue
One of the color schemes expected for the Ather 450 Apex is called Indium Blue. The scooter's visual appeal will likely be enhanced with this vibrant and modern color option.
Technical Specifications
The Ather 450 Apex is anticipated to house a 3.7 kWh capacity battery pack, similar to the 450X. However, it will be tuned differently to deliver enhanced performance beyond the 6.4 kW output in the 450X. Additional features may include cruise control and at least single-channel ABS, adding to the overall riding experience.
Expected Pricing and Launch Date
With an expected price tag around Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom Bengaluru, including FAME 2 subsidy), the Ather 450 Apex is poised to make waves in the electric scooter market. The launch is anticipated towards the end of December 2023. As it hits the roads, the Ather 450 Apex will go head-to-head with rivals such as the Ola S1 Pro, Simple One, and TVS X, setting the stage for an electrifying competition in the evolving electric mobility landscape.
