Ather 450S Deliveries Commence

Ather has announced the commencement of deliveries for its latest electric scooter, the 450S. Founder Tarun Mehta shared the news on Twitter where a father visited the Bangalore delivery centre to collect a scooter for his son. The founder demonstrated how to use the app to drop map locations on the scooter and how to engage the reverse gear. Ather introduced the 450S model in August 2023, and comes in two models: the Core (Rs 1.30 lakh) and the Pro (Rs 1.43 lakh).
