Origin
Ather Energy Pvt. Ltd. was founded in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, headquatered im Bangalore Karnataka.
It was a tough journey for them to build a vehicle which is environmental friendly on which every Indian can rely no matter what comes on their way and finally they got their best machine, The Ather 450 and 450X.
Ather 450X
The Ather 450X is a significant step-up from Ather 450 with improvements across multiple key parameters. Ather 450X is the outcome of an award winning design philosophy and is quicker, more intelligent than its predecessor and comes in three new colours; Grey, Green and White.
The update have made it lighter then its predecessor by 11kg it also have a decent amount of underseat storage space, at 22 litres. It also remains quite conventional in terms of its seating ergonomics.
Performance
The scooter is powered with a 6kW PMSM motor, a new 2.9 kWh lithium ion battery and comes with 4 riding modes. In addition to Eco, Ride and Sport, Ather is introducing a new high performance mode, 'Warp'. Ather 450X can go from 0 to 60 kmph in just 7.3 sec in the Warp mode, making it the quickest electric scooter in its category and the perfect choice to navigate through city traffic and getting a top speed of 90kmph.
Features
Ather 450X will have a 4G sim card and Wifi along with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to answer phone calls and manage music on the touchscreen dashboard. The new 7” touchscreen dashboard, comes with a colour depth of 16M and a Snapdragon Quad Core processor. Ather 450X utilises Android Open Source to offer map navigation, On-board diagnostics and other unique features like Over-the-air updates, Auto Indicator off and Guide-me-home lights.
The Ather mobile app will continue to offer personalised ride statistics, charging status, push navigation and more functionalities like theft & tow detection, live location & vehicle state tracking, voice assistant and welcome lights. Ather 450X will support connected accessories like smart helmets and tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS).
The charging time of Ather with a portable charger is 4 hours and while with a fast charger is 1.5 hours which can only be done via the Ather Grid public charging network.
Conclusion
Its a great electric scooter which gives performance as well as great range and gives a tough competition to all the normal 125cc scooters but looking at the price tag of approximately 1.5 lakhs makes it lot difficult to think for buying one but as the Petrol prices are going to hit century by the end of this week we should lets think of having one.
