- Deliveries to begin from 10th September
- Both scooters were launched at Rs 1.10 lakhs and Rs 1.25 lakhs
Ather Energy will start delivering the Ather 340 and Ather 450 e-scooters from 10th September. These scooters have been priced at Rs 1.10 lakhs and Rs 1.25 lakhs on-road Bengaluru.
The Ather 340 is powered by a 5kW electric motor rated at 20Nm of torque. This scooter can hit a top speed of 70kmph. The 450 on the other hand gets a more powerful engine, rated at 20.5Nm of torque. While the 340 can accelerate to 40kmph in 5.1 seconds, the 450 does it in 3.9 seconds. The 450 can also hit a top speed of 80kmph, making it one of the fastest electric scooters in the Indian market.
Both these scooters are powered by a lithium-ion battery with fast charging. The battery can be charged up to 80 per cent capacity in just one hour at specific charging stations. At full charge, the 340 can cover 60 kilometres, while the 450 can cover 75 kilometres. The battery has a life of up to 50,000 kilometres, which should make it easy on the pocket too.
For now, these e-scooters are available only in Bengaluru. The company plans to venture out to other cities in the next few years. But before it does that, it plans to setup charging stations so that it will be easier for its customers to decide on the purchase.
