Ather EL Electric Scooter Platform India Launch on August 30: Here's What to Expect?

Ather Energy will host the third edition of its annual Community Day on August 30, 2025, in Bengaluru. The event, based on the theme 'Technology that works like magic', will unlock several innovations for EV enthusiasts with an evolving product strategy, including the new EL platform. While official details remain under wraps, the new EL platform is expected to represent a more practical, value-oriented direction for the company. It will reportedly underpin the next generation of its electric scooters. 

While retaining proven components from the existing platform, the upcoming EL platform is expected to feature an updated electronic architecture and a revised powertrain. It may also adopt a simplified feature set, omitting premium elements to enhance affordability and versatility. This could allow Ather to introduce more cost-effective scooters, potentially priced under Rs 1 lakh.
