Ather 450 Apex

Priced at ₹1.95 lakh ex-showroom, the Ather 450 Apex is the flagship scooter from the electric vehicle brand. Visually, the Ather450 Apex sets itself apart from the standard model with a two-layer "Indium Blue" paint scheme complemented by contrasting orange highlights on the wheels, logos, and frame. A touch of nostalgia comes through the near-transparent side panels, reminiscent of theAther 450X Series. The 450 Apex further packs a punch with a more powerful motor generating 7 kW of peak power – a 0.6 kW increase over the standard 450X.

While torque remains unchanged, a new "Warp+" riding mode unlocks a thrilling top speed of 100 kmph.

Another key feature is the new advanced regenerative braking system paired with the "Magic Twist" energy management algorithm. This system promises smoother stopping and the ability to potentially bring the scooter to a complete halt without needing the brakes, regardless of battery charge level. This innovation also contributes to a slightly increased certified range of 157 km compared to the standard model's 150 km.

The 450 Apex carries over the 3.7 kWh battery pack and suspension setup from the 450X, with no Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) but standard tire pressure monitoring. To complete the package, buyers receive a special edition helmet matching the scooter's livery.
