The Ather 450 Apex is an electric scooter designed with a focus on performance and advanced features for urban use in India. It is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor paired with a 3.7 kWh battery pack. The motor produces around 7 kW of peak power and about 26 Nm of torque, which allows the scooter to accelerate quickly, especially at lower speeds. It can reach a top speed of around 100 km/h, and the 0–40 km/h acceleration is approximately 2.9 seconds. The scooter offers multiple riding modes such as SmartEco, Eco, Ride, Sport, and Warp+, which adjust how power is delivered depending on riding conditions and preferences.
The battery is fixed and uses lithium-ion chemistry, and it is charged using a portable home charger or through Ather’s fast-charging network. A full charge using a standard charger takes around 5 hours and 45 minutes, while fast charging can reduce the time significantly for partial charging. The claimed range is around 157 km under IDC conditions, although real-world range typically varies between 110 and 120 km depending on speed, riding mode, and traffic conditions.
In terms of design, the Ather 450 Apex includes a unique look with translucent side panels that partially reveal the internal structure. The scooter maintains a compact and sporty form factor, which helps in city riding and maneuverability. The overall weight is balanced to keep it manageable in daily conditions. The suspension setup includes telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock, which are tuned to provide stability, although bumps and uneven roads can still be felt. The braking system includes disc brakes at both ends with a combined braking system to improve control during sudden stops.
The scooter is equipped with a touchscreen TFT display that shows speed, battery status, navigation, and ride data. It supports smartphone connectivity through Bluetooth and internet features like navigation, call alerts, and ride statistics. Over-the-air updates are also available, allowing the system software to be updated without visiting a service center. Additional features include reverse mode, side-stand sensor, and different levels of regenerative braking.
The seating position is slightly forward but still comfortable for daily use, and the overall ergonomics are suited for urban commuting. Storage space is limited compared to larger scooters, which may affect practicality for carrying bigger items. The Ather 450 Apex is built to offer a combination of performance, technology, and everyday usability, with its overall experience depending on factors like charging access, road conditions, and traffic in India.
