Ather 450X Series 1 Limited Edition launched

Electric mobility has been gaining quite a popularity with petrol and diesel prices getting so close. People are also slowly becoming environmentally aware and preferring EVs over ICE-powered vehicles. The electric Scooter Company Ather has been doing quite well with its previous products. Find out below about the new Ather 450X Limited Edition launched for India.

What is new in the Limited Edition?

The Series 1 will be the first scooter in India with translucent body-panels, thus offering a peek inside the body. This unique look will make the scooter stand apart from the crowd. The scooter’s aluminium chassis is visible under the seat along with the trellis frame design thanks to the translucent panel.

The exteriors are also different with a new gloss metallic black body with red accents. This scooter has been specifically made for the modern young generations, and the stand-apart look will surely attract many customers.

Ather Series 1 Specifications

The Ather Series 1 spec-wise is identical to its sibling, the 450x. It uses the same 3.3kW/6kW (continuous/peak) motor that produces 26Nm of torque which is better than 450x’s 20.5Nm.  According to Ather, the claimed top speed is still the same at 80km/hr with the additional torque helping in initial quick acceleration.  Charging time has also increased for 0-80% charge in 3hr 35min.

Ather has also worked on overall practicality of the scooter. The new range stands at 70km in Ride mode.  Eco mode further increases the range till 85km. More about Ather Limited Edition India below.

What does the company say?

Tarun Mehta the CEO and co-founder of Ather was quoted saying, “Building automotive-grade translucent panels is tricky and I am super excited that Ather is bringing them out for the first time ever with Series1.
