Ather Energy has revised the prices of the 450S – the entry-level product in its 450 line-up. While the standard variant has received a price cut of Rs 20,000, the top-spec 450S with Pro Pack has seen a price reduction of Rs 25,000. As a result, the Ather 450S now costs Rs 1.10 lakh for the base variant and Rs 1.19 lakh for the range-topping Pro Pack variant. Both prices are ex-showroom, Bengaluru.
The Ather 450S is powered by a 2.9kWh battery pack mated to a 7bhp/22Nm motor and has a top speed of 90km/h and a certified range of 115km. The real-world range of the 450S, however, is around 90km. It can accelerate from 0 to 40km/h in 3.9 seconds. Ather says that this electric scooter can be fully charged in a claimed time of over eight and a half hours, using a 350-watt charger offered as standard. Customers can also purchase the more powerful 750-watt charger as an optional extra.
