Ather Bikes

Ather Energy is a Bangalore-based electric scooter manufacturer that has quickly risen to prominence for offering one of the most premium and technologically advanced EV scooters in India. Launched in 2018, Ather’s scooters — including the 450S and 450X — offer excellent real-world performance, OTA updates, smart dashboard features, and refined build quality. Unlike many EV startups, Ather builds its battery packs in-house and has a strong focus on software integration.

The scooters are powered by PMSM motors with outputs between 5.4 kW to 6.4 kW and feature fast charging via Ather Grid, a growing proprietary charging infrastructure. Key highlights include touchscreen TFT displays, ride modes, turn-by-turn navigation, and mobile app connectivity. Range varies from 90–150 km (IDC), and top speeds reach up to 90 km/h.

Priced between ₹1.2 lakh and ₹1.6 lakh (ex-showroom, including subsidies), Ather targets urban buyers seeking a futuristic, sustainable, and premium riding experience. Its manufacturing facility in Hosur is also capable of scaling exports. Ather’s strategy hinges on long-term reliability, regular software support, and an experience-driven ownership model. It stands out as one of India’s most complete and forward-thinking electric mobility brands.
