Ather 450 Apex Introductory Offer of Rs 1.89 Lakh Ends, Here's How Much it Costs Now

Ather launched the 450 Apex in early January 2024 in India at Rs 1.89 lakh (ex-showroom). The 450 Apex, undoubtedly, is Ather's most expensive offering here, but for those planning to buy this electric scooter, Ather has now hiked the price by Rs 6,000. With this, the Ather 450 Apex is now more expensive than before, setting you back by Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). The 450 Apex is a limited-run model, therefore its production will be limited to demand. It will have a production run till October 2024.

The 450 Apex is almost identical to the regular 450X, save for a unique paint scheme as well as near-transparent side panels. While it uses the same 3.7kWh battery pack as the 450X, the electric motor is rated at 7kW (9.3bhp) as against the 450X's 6.2kW motor.

Ather 450 Apex: Range

The claimed IDC range of the 450 Apex is 157 kilometres, thanks to the new regenerative braking system that works with a brand-new energy management algorithm called 'Magic Twist'. According to Ather, the technology enables you to twist the accelerator backwards to slow down the scooter to a halt. It also guarantees smooth and reliable operation regardless of the battery's state of charge (SoC).
