Ather 450s
The Ather 450S is an electric scooter introduced by Indian EV manufacturer Ather Energy in 2023 as a more affordable sibling to the flagship 450X, aimed at broadening market reach in India's growing electric two-wheeler segment. It shares the same platform and design language as the 450X but comes with slightly reduced battery capacity and features to offer a competitive price point. The 450S is notable for bringing Ather's build quality and connected features to a wider audience while supporting India's push toward electric mobility.

What Buyers Should Know
Battery Warranty Coverage
Ather offers a 3-year or 30,000 km warranty on the 450S battery pack, which is reassuring for buyers worried about long-term ownership costs. Battery degradation beyond 20% within the warranty period is covered under replacement.
Watch Software Glitches
Some 450S owners have reported occasional software freezes and connectivity issues with the Ather app and dashboard. These are usually resolved via OTA updates, but can be frustrating in the short term.
Moderate Resale Value
The 450S depreciates faster than its premium sibling, the 450X, largely due to its lower feature set and the rapidly evolving EV market in India. Expect around 30-40% depreciation within the first two years.
