Ather Energy has officially announced the pre-bookings for its electric smart scooters, the Ather 340 and Ather 450. The electric smart scooters, in the first phase, would be available in Bangalore. We got a chance to test ride the flagship product of the Bangalore based two-wheeler brand, the Ather 450 for a review and here’s what we think about India’s first electric smart scooter.
We’ve also made a separate video for the Ather 450 Electric Scooter’s Instrument Console and Cool Features. Check out the video below:
The Ather 450 is priced at INR 1,24,750 on road and the Ather 340 is priced at INR 1,09,750 on road. After the first year, owners can opt for Ather One subscription plan which costs INR 2,596 per quarter, or INR 9,912 per annum to continue using all the benefits, including free public and home charging, periodic maintenance inclusive of consumables, breakdown assistance and unlimited data services for the dashboard.
