Ather Energy has launched an entry-level 450X electric scooter.

The entry-level variant is focused on customers who want a no-frills 450X, without making compromises.

The entry-level 450X makes the scooter more accessible to most buyers, as to reduce costs, the company has omitted features such as 4G LTE sim, Bluetooth, navigation, and fast charging. The new entry-level Ather 450X doesn’t get any ride modes. Instead, there’s a default mode, which offers full performance at all times. The other feature omissions include park assist (reverse feature) and hill-hold assist.

In terms of design and performance,

The low-spec and high-end variants share the same design, chassis, wheels, suspension, and the same set of colour options. The 6.4kW motor is the same and so is the max torque (26Nm), top speed (90kph), and gradability (20 degrees).

For people looking to buy an Ather 450X with all bells and whistles, there’s the Pro Pack equipped variant that costs an additional Rs 30,000 and includes a fast charger. The Pro Pack variant is Rs 11,000(Approx.) more affordable than the previous top-spec variant of the 450X.

The New variant is available at Rs 98,183 (ex-showroom, Delhi with FAME II and state subsidy), but with a slow charger.
