Ather 450 Apex Finally Makes Its Way To The Market

The Ather 450X is an exciting electric scooter, but for those seeking an extra dose of excitement, the Bengaluru-based EV manufacturer has launched the 450 Apex, which promises even more fun and stands as the fastest Ather e-scooter to date.

Ather has priced the 450 Apex at Rs 1.89 lakh (ex-showroom Bengaluru, including FAME II subsidy), placing it against the gen-2 Ola S1 Pro, TVS X and Simple One. While its bookings are already underway, its deliveries will commence in March this year.

Ather 450 Apex – What’s Special?

Performance Enhancements

Being a sportier version of the 450X, the new 450 Apex e-scooter features a more powerful (7kW) electric motor than the 450X’s 6.4kW unit, enabling it to complete the 0 to 40kmph run in just 2.9 seconds in the new ‘WRAP+’ mode. That makes it 0.4 seconds faster than the 450X.
Its top speed has also been increased from 90 kmph on the 450X to 100 kmph.
What’s more interesting is that the Ather 450 Apex claims a higher certified range of 157km (7km more than 450X) despite having the same 3.7kWh battery pack.
It’s worth noting that the certified range may differ in actual riding conditions. Here’s a look at its TrueRange in every mode, compared to the Ather 450X: –

Design and New Features

Visually, the Ather 450 Apex looks identical to the 450X, with the only significant distinction being the rear bodywork, which features transparent body panels showcasing the orange frame underneath, giving it a more sportier appeal. It also receives a new Indium Blue paint scheme with orange wheels.
On the features front, the 450 Apex gains a new Wrap+ mode and a ‘Magic Twist,’ which is essentially a negative throttle for regen braking.

Enhanced Customer Satisfaction

Ather offers the 450 Apex with an extended 5-year/60,000km battery warranty against the 3-year/30,000km warranty on the 450X.
