Aesthetic Marvels: Indium Blue and Transparent Panels
The new Ather 450 Apex arrives clad in a stunning Indium Blue hue, boasting a captivating depth of red and a silky satin-like finish. The scooter's allure is further amplified by its transparent panels for the chassis, showcasing a glossy exterior and a frosted interior, adding a unique touch to its design.
Power and Performance: Warp+ Mode and Quick Acceleration
The standout feature of the Ather 450 Apex is its impressive top speed of 100 kmph, courtesy of the potent 7.0 kW Peak Motor Power. Despite the torque remaining unchanged at 26 Nm, the scooter exhibits lightning-fast responsiveness, taking only 90 milliseconds from throttle input to wheel movement. Its acceleration from 0 to 40 kmph in just 2.9 seconds surpasses its predecessor, the Ather 450x Gen 3, by a remarkable 4 seconds.
Innovative Features: Magic Twist and Enhanced Range
Introducing the innovative Magic Twist function, the Ather 450 Apex allows riders to decelerate and halt the scooter by reversing the throttle—a distinct feature that sets it apart from traditional regenerative braking systems. Equipped with the same 3.7 kWh battery as its predecessor, the scooter promises a 110km Trurange with a certified 157km range, maintaining its fast charging capability.
Ather 450 Apex - Price, range and Features
With a starting price of Rs. 1,89,000 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru), the Ather 450 Apex is open for bookings on the Ather website. However, the model does not qualify for the FAME II subsidy, contributing to the slight price hike. Scheduled to commence deliveries from March 2024, the scooter arrives bundled with a host of offerings, including Ather Connect connected features for 3 years, Ather Battery Protect for 5 years or 60000 KM, and an exclusive Apex collectibles package.
What's Unique?
Distinguishing itself from the Ather 450X, the Apex boasts a more powerful motor, higher top speed, and quicker acceleration. The 450 Apex shares the battery pack with the 450X but claims an enhanced range of 157 km on a single charge. Additionally, it introduces the 'Warp+' mode for enhanced acceleration without compromising range and the unique 'Magic Twist' regenerative braking.
Final Thoughts
The Ather 450 Apex stands as a testament to innovation, blending striking aesthetics, unparalleled performance, and futuristic features. While building upon the foundation of its predecessor, it ushers in a new era of electric scooters, setting a benchmark for speed, agility, and cutting-edge technology in the electric vehicle segment
