When Ather Energy first launched its electric scooters, it redefined what an Indian-made EV could be stylish, smart, and performance-driven. Fast forward to 2025, and Ather has done it again with the new Ather 450S . a scooter that blends range, practicality, and advanced tech into one powerful package.

If you’ve been waiting to switch to electric without compromising on quality or excitement, the 450S might just be your perfect match.

🔋 Ather 450S Overview: Designed for the Real World

The 450S sits below the flagship 450X but don’t mistake it for a “basic” scooter. It’s built on the same solid platform as its premium sibling with minor adjustments to make it more affordable, efficient, and commuter-friendly.

For 2025, Ather has focused on refining the scooter’s performance, battery management, and smart features, while giving it a clean, futuristic design that turns heads on the road.

⚙️ Performance: Smooth, Silent, and Surprisingly Quick

Under the seat, the Ather 450S packs a 3.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, paired with a powerful hub motor that delivers up to 5.4 kW (7.2 hp) of peak power.

That means you get:

• Top speed: 90 km/h
• Acceleration: 0-40 km/h in just about 3.9 seconds
• Range (IDC): Up to 161 km on a single charge

In real-world conditions, you can expect around 120 -130 km depending on your riding style and terrain more than enough for daily city commutes.

Ather’s motor tuning remains one of the smoothest in the EV market. There’s instant torque when you twist the throttle, but it’s not jerky, it feels natural, controlled, and fun.

🔌 Charging: Simple and Convenient

The Ather 450S supports both home charging and Ather Grid fast charging.

• Home charger: 0-80% in about 6.5 hours
• Ather Grid (fast charging): Roughly 1.5 km of range per minute

The fast-charging network has been expanding across major Indian cities, so topping up while you grab a coffee is becoming easier than ever.

🧠 Smart Features: Technology That Actually Helps

One of Ather’s strongest points is its software experience, and the 450S continues that legacy.

Key highlights include:

• 6.2-inch DeepView Display – A high-contrast LCD dashboard that’s bright, responsive, and easy to read even under sunlight.
• Turn-by-turn Navigation powered by MapMyIndia.
• Auto-cut Indicators & Reverse Assist – Perfect for tight city parking spots.
• Ride Modes – SmartEco, Eco, Ride, and Sport to balance power and range.
• Bluetooth Connectivity – View call and message alerts directly on the display.

Even though the 450S skips some advanced features from the 450X (like Google Maps integration), it still feels incredibly smart and polished for its price segment.

🛞 Ride Comfort & Handling

The Ather 450S has a low center of gravity thanks to its battery placement, which makes handling super easy and predictable. Whether you’re weaving through traffic or cruising through open roads, the scooter feels planted and confident.

Suspension is tuned for comfort, and the disc brakes (front and rear) with combined braking system (CBS) ensure strong stopping power. The build quality feels premium, solid panels, precise fit, and that signature Ather sturdiness.

💡 Design & Styling

The Ather 450S looks sharp, compact, and futuristic – just like its siblings. The aerodynamic bodywork, LED lighting setup, and flush side panels give it a clean, sporty appeal.

Ather’s new colour palette for 2025 includes Salt White, Cosmic Black, Space Grey, and Still Blue, each giving the scooter a distinct identity.

It’s the kind of EV that makes you look twice , not because it’s electric, but because it looks cool.

💰 Price and Ownership Experience

In India, the Ather 450S (2025) is priced around ₹1.30 lakh (ex-showroom, FAME II subsidy adjusted) – positioning it as one of the most value-packed electric scooters available.

Ather also offers:

• Comprehensive warranty: 3 years / 30,000 km (extendable)
• Over-the-air (OTA) software updates
• Dedicated service network and doorstep support

Running costs are minimal, roughly ₹0.25 per km – which is significantly cheaper than any petrol scooter.

⚡ Final Verdict: The Smart Choice for Urban Commuters

The Ather 450S (2025) is more than just an electric scooter – it’s a glimpse of where everyday mobility is heading. It’s smooth, quick, intelligent, and genuinely fun to ride.

You don’t have to be an EV enthusiast to appreciate it – anyone who wants a reliable, stylish, and eco-friendly city scooter will fall in love with the 450S.

If the future of commuting had a face, the Ather 450S would wear the biggest smile.
