Ather Electric Scooters – Intelligent Mobility Engineered for the City
Ather is the brand that made many Indians look at electric scooters in a new way. When most EVs were seen as slow or basic, Ather came in with a different idea — build an electric scooter that feels premium, well‑designed, and easy to live with every day.
Started in Bengaluru by a group of young engineers, Ather has always focused on doing things thoughtfully. Instead of rushing products to market, the brand spent time getting the basics right — ride quality, comfort, and how the scooter fits into daily life. That careful approach is why many riders see Ather as a quality‑first brand.
For people who care about how something feels, not just how much it costs, Ather feels like the right choice.
Models & Price Positioning
Ather keeps its range clear and focused on urban riding.
Popular models include:
-
Ather 450X – The best‑known model, built for performance and daily comfort
-
Ather 450S – A simpler option for riders who want Ather quality without extra features
Price range:
Ather scooters usually fall between ₹1.20 lakh and ₹1.50 lakh (ex‑showroom). The brand places itself in the premium everyday space — not the cheapest, but aimed at riders who want a better overall experience.
Battery, Range & Everyday Use
Ather builds its scooters for real‑world riding, not just test numbers.
-
Uses lithium‑ion batteries
-
Tuned for smooth city performance
-
Designed mainly for short and medium daily trips
In normal conditions, most Ather scooters offer around 90–130 km per charge. For office commutes, college runs, and regular errands, this easily covers a full day of riding.
Charging Experience
Charging an Ather is kept simple and flexible.
-
Home charging usually takes 4–6 hours

What Riding an Ather Feels Like

-
Quick but controlled acceleration
-
Stable handling, even on uneven roads
-
Comfortable riding posture for daily use
