Ather 450 Apex: Performance
The Ather 450 Apex comes with a new riding mode, Warp+, that takes the electric scooter from 0 to 40 kmph in just 2.9 seconds. The EV delivers peak torque of 210 Nm at the wheel and is 30% faster than 450X at 40–80 km/h speed. With the increased motor power, the 450 Apex now has a top speed of 100 kmph.
Ather has introduced Magic Twist, a first-of-its-kind feature in two-wheelers that is actually able to bring the scooter to a complete halt and works even at 100% battery charge. With the Magic Twist, users can brake with negative input on the throttle and it has 40% more braking force than any other 2W regen available in India.
Ather 450 Apex: Design
The Ather 450 Apex sports a transparent panel over a painted orange chassis, that puts two very contrasting colours in the spectrum together: blue and orange. The ‘Indium Blue’ used in the 450 Apex is considered the mattest blue with a rich satin feel offset against a bold orange.
Ather 450 Apex: Delight Kit
Ather has announced a Delight Kit for customers taking delivery of the 450 Apex. The Delight kit includes a handcrafted helmet in a blue-orange colour scheme complementing the scooter, an inbuilt Ather TPMS, a neck gaiter, an iron-on garment patch, and a uniquely designed keychain.
The 450 Apex also comes with a 5-year or 60,000-kilometre battery warranty and complimentary Ather Connect for 3 years.
Tarun Mehta, Co-Founder & CEO, Ather Energy, said, “We wanted to do something special to mark 10 years of Ather and push the boundaries of design, performance, and innovation. The 450 Apex is the culmination of that effort, where we have pushed the 450 platform to its limit in terms of design and performance. The 450 Apex has India’s fastest throttle response, and it is Ather’s most exciting scooter in production today.
The unique design language, rich satin colours, and transparent panel make the 450 Apex the most distinctive electric scooter on the road. With the 450 Apex, we have introduced ‘Magic Twist’, a disruptive new feature that makes city riding extremely convenient and fun. The 450 Apex is a premium and highly desirable machine and we expect it to be appreciated by performance scooter enthusiasts across the country.”
