Ather 450X Collector's Edition With Translucent Body Panels

Ather Energy has introduced the highly anticipated collector's edition of the Ather 450X called Series1. This limited edition scooter is only available to those Ather Energy enthusiasts who pre-ordered the scooter prior to the national launch of the Ather 450X on January 28, 2020. The Series 1 was conceived and designed to celebrate the improved performance of the Ather 450X, best-in-class power, torque, acceleration, and lightweight hybrid aluminum frame chassis with premium colors and finishes, as well as a first for Indian roads, a Vehicle with translucent panels.

More details

As a design-oriented manufacturer, the translucent panels on the back are the specialty of the Series 1, which gives a glimpse into the scooter. This is the first time an Indian OEM has offered tinted translucent panels that allow you to see the inside of the scooter.

The distinguishing features

Ather's signature cast aluminum chassis is visible under the seat and lattice frame, which was a unique aspect of the Ather scooters. The Series1 edition of the scooter celebrates the engineering, technical skill and performance of the Ather 450 line of products. The Series 1 differs greatly from the existing color palette (gray, white, mint green) and has a high-gloss metallic black body color in combination with red accents. These signature colors can also be seen on the 7-inch touchscreen dashboard on the Series 1 scooters, with a dedicated intro screen and subtle red tones in the user interface designed for the scooters.

Specifications

The Series1 edition will have a 6 kW PMSM electric motor that draws its energy from a 2.9 kWh lithium-ion battery such as the standard Ather 450X. There will also be the same driving modes - Eco, Ride, Sport and a high-performance warp mode. According to internal tests, the Ather 450X is one of the fastest electric scooters in its performance class in India with an acceleration time from 0 to 40 km / h of just 3.3 seconds.

While the 450 was powered by a 5.4 kW motor that cranked up a torque of 20.5 Nm, the Ather 450X brings these numbers to 6 kW and 26 Nm. It has a certified range of 116 kilometers on a full charge, and the company claims the scooter can travel 85 kilometers in real-world conditions.

Official statement

Tarun Mehta, CEO and Co-Founder of Ather Energy, said, “Like all of our scooters, the Series 1 is built from the ground up and we hope our community loves it as much as we built it. Automotive grade translucent panels are difficult to build and I am delighted that Ather is bringing them out for the first time with the Series 1. The teams have been working on it for months and were able to produce something really fantastic despite the ban. ”
