carandbike Awards 2021: Ather 450X Wins Scooter Of The Year

The Ather 450X is one of the best electric scooters you can buy in India today. At our jury round, it went up against scooters like the Bajaj Chetak, Hero Destini 125 and the TVS iQube. The 450X replaces the existing Ather 450. The 450X is available in two variants - the 450X Plus, and the 450X Pro, or rather two performance levels, which can be switched according to riding style and different payment plans. The new 450X uses a larger lithium-ion battery pack producing 2.9 kWh, while the electric motor now develops 6 kW (up from 5.4 kW), equivalent of 8 bhp and 26 Nm of peak torque.

Maximum claimed range is now 85 km on a single charge

Top speed is still limited to 85 kmph, but acceleration has improved with 0-40 kmph rated at just 3.3 seconds. Maximum claimed range is now 85 km on a single charge, while battery warranty is unlimited, both on the Ather 450X Plus and the Ather 450X Pro. Prices for the Ather 450X start at Rs. 1.47 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
