Hello #PDArmy! After a bit of back and forth with the Ather team we've got some clarity on the '10 kilometres of range at a 100kmph on a full charge' statement we made - it's incorrect. The 450 Apex can SUSTAIN 100kmph for less than 10km, after which the motor will gradually start to de-rate (due to motor temperatures, fairly normal) and bring the top speed down. So fret not, full whack on Warp+ will last you much longer than a 10km stint.

There has been a very weird change in me. Back in the past I was all about motorcycles, I used to own a Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 and a KTM RC 390. After moving abroad, I had to sell the two motorcycles as there wasn't anyone in my family who could keep maintaining them and I thought it was better to sell them to other folks who might enjoy riding one instead of having them gather dust and rust in the garage. Now for some reason, I seem to be more interested in electric scooters and fantasize about buying one than I seem to be in owning a motorcycle. 😂😂

Will cost 2.5 lkh onroad and one who can afford 2 .5 lakh scooter can also afford a good bike and fuel 🎉

Ather needs to smell the coffee and bring something new. This design is done for.

No ABS. Even at that price. That's the deal breaker.

Indeed a perfect ev with no faults But range is a big issue on such an expensive price range

Over priced. Major chunk of market needs range and this can’t deliver it. All they did was colour, seriously who cares. This is apple does, if you over price products and create good marketing people wont tell bad about the products

It'll help build the brand further, more than anything else.

I think their team should work on how to increase range rather den spending money on colours and graphics and UI changes

Karan I dont miss a single video from you ! Great content !

It's okay as a passion project. But performance scooters in general, make no sense whatsoever. We want more scooters with better range, charging speeds and lower price. It will mostly be used for city rides, so top speed and acceleration really don't matter. This thing will run out of juice by the time you get out of city traffic to experience its performance.

This "magic twist" has already been existing in Vida V1 for almost an year now. Along with the boost mode....

My dream config was including single channel ABS, cruise control, advanced regen (regen modes) as well.

Yamaha Aerox 155 any day.......

Looks a bit gaudy and gimmicky with the colour scheme and the translucent back and all that. Like a gaming computer that has all kinds of colours popping up beneath the keyboard, knowing fully well that the specs are maxed out and it will do the job great. I get the feeling this is a really fun product, but for those who want fun, blasting at speeds and loving all the cool magic twist and what not. I would not worry about the price if it didn't look silly. The 450x does almost everything this does, and stays dignified. This one is kind of like the feeling I got when Porsche started making SUVs - just felt gaudy for a strikingly superb sports car maker.

What are those riding boots Karan. I love em would love to rock them.

Dropping Li-ion and going for Lithium Ferrophosphate would be a good idea, considering the latter handles heat issues far better and degrades slower.

Something that runs 100kmph on Indian roads needs abs before anything else.

How is it even 10 years? Their first production bike started selling in 2019 right?

I wish Ather will give an update of more increased range for Ather 450 Plus Third Gen Owners

Hi everyone, apart from this review by our expert, I wanted to add a review , especially I am driving one of the latest Ather450Apex scooter . Below is my REALITY FEEDBACK after 1000+ kms within 1 month. IN Sport mode - (max speed in this mode is around 90 + kmph) 0.5675 kms per percent / 1.7619 percent charge per km = 45 km range for 80% charge (condition: highway ride at 70 to 80 kmph) (charging time from 0 to 80 % = 140 mins - using ather grid fast charger) Ride Mode - (max speed in this mode is 65 kmph) 0.8863 kms per percent / 1.1282 percent charge per km = 70 km range for 80% charge (condition: highway ride at 60 kmph) (charging time from 0 to 80 % = 120 mins minimum - using ather grid fast charger i.e 30 mins per 20 % charge ) I will put the above notes in an understandable manner : after riding constantly in sport mode for 20 mins at 80kmph (which is faster than most scooter and a enjoyable speed) the scooter speed does reduce to 65 to 70 kmph due to thermal issues . But this is not really a big thing for someone who rides in locals. It will be an issue for someone who is constantly riding more than 25 to 30 km distance in one go. Overall 70 kms range in Ride Mode minimum and 45 kms range in sport mode minimum . If you ride in 40 to 50 kmph then you will get like 5 to 10 kms extra that's the maximum. This is the truth. As for the fun aspect it is very very quick , as I said earlier the speed will drop if you drive at 80+ to about below 65 after 20 mins of sport or warp mode. That you all have to remember. Other things i want to add is that the scooter will keep on going faster right from the go 0 to 80 very quick and above that to a 100 just a little slow not as slow as a petrol powered scooter. About charging : there are two levels of charging : from 0 to 80% it will take 3.45 hours and from 80 to 100 percent another 2 hours total of 5.45 hours as the company claims , IN Public charging it will take 30 mins per 20% charge approximately , so for 0-80% in public charger you will have to wait for a total of 120 min s minimum , otherwise if you are charging at home it won't be a issue as you can take rest and take the vehicle outside after a Slow 100% charging, So you have to wait around 120 to 160 mins for charging from completely empty 0% to 80 % in a public charger for those who are going far distances this will be a concern , i have travelled between Chennai and Puducherry which is a total of approx 140 + 140 kms , So in reality when you drive 40 kms in RIDE mode (which is the mode you have to go in Long DISTANCE) you will lose 40 to 50% charge , hence i mentioned already you will have to wait for around 80 mins for this charge to come for example from 30 to 80%, so you ride for 40 mins and wait for 80 mins so for every 40kms distance you will spend 120 mins in total , imagine for 140kms how much i would have spend , So up and down i spent a total of 15 hours of travel instead of 7 hours of travel in a petrol scooter. this is the difference Between Electric and Petrol and electric scooter in Range Wise review of mine.

I have brought 450 apex & wrap+ mode is just awesome. I love this more then my car or any other vachile I have ever drove. However, it's not for beginners. It is dangerously Punchy. Definitely not for family use. Overall, it's totally worth the cost if you are looking for an adrenaline rush on wheels...

For those who are saying its overpriced. Well don't comment if you think that cause if you want an ather then just buy a 450s and want more range just buy ola s1 pro gen2. Ather doesn't care if it sells or not they celebrated their anniversary and gave us a special scooter.

So they just copy pasted all the features of Ola

I hope they are done with 450 with this! The last nail!

Ather is great, who owns it, knows it 😊

Haven't seen aany aether store ,i live in a t2 city they need to open showrooms so people can atleast see and feel the product, they need to bring a product with more range

this is a little towards the expensive side of things but still , if we remove the price tag, this is the best ev scooter in india

Fast… super fast

Can draw parallels with the practice of apple phones and Ather Old wines !😂😂

I'm not concerned about the range at all. I'm buying it.

Its a scooter for those who dislike scooters. Its a sports bike for those who hate bikes. It is a passion project and would sell like a passion project. Less than 1000 units this year.

still ola tops waiting for physical key

I'm sorry...did he say the battery will go from 100 to 0 in just 10kms (6 minutes) if you ride at 100kmph? Why even bother with a mode like that...?

what i don't like is the exposed front forks. Rest of the scooter looks great. There are some that i know who feel that the scooter is too small and, thus, is for women.

KTM 450X?

Yes., it’s not value for money until you consider it’s running costs (for when you need to ride 20-30km) still not good to convince me

Ktm X Yamaha X Ather

I sold my Ather 450x after using it for 2 years and driven for 30k. The vehicle drastically reduced its range, especially if you carry a pillion rider. The company should focus on delivering better range. Nobody would ride in warp mode for longer time by knowing the fact that the battery drains faster and you’ll have to call your friend to tow. Poor practical range.

2:00 - Ola S1 pro hits 116km/h.

Inspired by apple..... ❄️✌️

Regarding design: This is the problem with our consumers. They can't appreciate a good/minimalist design when they have it. They keep clamoring for a facelift and manufacturers are forced to come up with a overdone design which looks ugly by the 3rd iteration. Then people again request them to bring back the classic design. Design especially for two wheelers is quite finite, unless some generational shift like ICE to EV, Halogen to LED help change few elements. So, I will be happy if Ather continues to use the same design for another 5 years, because the next one will be mostly uglier.

Indian team jersey and practice jersey together

Ather is good however plz check out the Ultraviolette F77 limited edition/space edition. 5.99lakh on road price Bengaluru. True enthusiasts will earn 3 things 1) Ballistic mode (100nm torque) 2) 8 years warranty on the battery 3) Savings if you ride her constantly

The magic twist is basic feature in ola..

They should have work on range rather than performance

Wow

great scooter ather, now put all this in a bike, double the battery and launch it.

Konsa nasha karke design kar rahe h yelog 😅😂

Kuch v bna k bech do log khrid hi lenge

KTM powered by battery 😂

Don't buy early the company will be slashing the price within the first 6 months. Wait until the.

Still ola is far more better

People will only buy electric vehicles only when, - For 2 wheelers, 300-350 KM range on full charge, wherein the vehicle is fully charged within 40-45 mins and 15mins of charge gives you roughly 100kms. Priced roughly 1.3-1.5 OTR Pan India - For 4 wheelers, 450-500 KM range on full charge, wherein the vehicle is fully charged within 40 - 45 mins again and 15 mins of charge gives you roughly 175-180 kms. Priced roughly 8-10 lakhs OTR Pan India.

Who the hell wants a fast scooter 😅

I was never a fan of the scooty pep like design

Need speed go for Yamaha aerox 155...not this...❤

बकबास है ये पहली वाली सही थी बस रेंज बड़ा देते तो सब खरीद लेते अब दोनों में सेम है बस 1,2 चीजे तो ज्यादा है कौन इतने पैसे देगा इसके। 😂

1.8L....lol...go get a petrol scooter😂😂 or bike

1.89 for an EV? what a sham. In fact, I just don't get the EV concept at all.

Ather price is higher but range is very low.... nobody cares about colours and above all Peoples cares about performance bikes but who cares about performance scooters ? 🙄

Warp+ is not what people need, we need a large battery capacity.

Overprice. Within 90k people would have gone Bongkers.

Hahahaha😂 we have simple one which goes 100km and price is 1.46lakh

Only body works nothing special apart from body look into chetak 2024

What's with all the attention to EVs these days?? Why is no one talking about reality.? People have to pay 60%of the EV's price after 3 years. Those Environmentalists must have a clear idea , where all these E -Waste is going to go, and the electricity they are using is coming from renewable resources..

Too expensive..

This is absolutely useless in my opinion. There is absolutely zero value for money in this model as it is the 450x was pricey but was to some extent justifiable but this is absolutely not. The magic twist if I am not wrong is a purely software update I don't think it needs any additional hardware except the twisting grip input this could have been a simple upgrade to the 450x. They should have not stretched this platform any further.

Overpriced for sure👎

costly shit

Expensive Too Much.

Over priced Shit scooter that no one will buy

Ather is a joke🤣
