Ather Energy has updated its portfolio with the launch of a new base variant in the Indian market. The Bengaluru-based electric scooter manufacturer has announced that the 450S will be sold as the entry-level variant of the 450 range. This new variant will use a 3kWh battery pack that is claimed to deliver an IDC (Indian Driving Conditions) range of 115km and a top speed of 90kmph. It is also likely to carry fewer features than the 450X range.
The 450S will be sold alongside the 450X and 450X Pro Pack in India. Additionally, the company has revised the prices of these variants following the FAME-II subsidy revision, and the Ather 450X and 450X Pro Pack will now be available at Rs. 1,45,000 and Rs. 1,65,000 (ex-showroom Bengaluru), respectively. As reported earlier, the FAME-II subsidy is now revised to Rs. 10,000 per kWh with a maximum cap of 15 per cent of the ex-factory price.
Apart from announcing the prices, Ather Energy has also stated that the bookings for the new 450S will start from July onwards. Meanwhile, interested buyers can register for this product on Ather’s website.
