Variants and Battery Options
The Ather 450 comes in three main versions – the Ather 450S, the Ather 450X and, Ather Apex. Each offers different battery and range options. You can choose between 2.9 kWh and 3.7 kWh battery packs, depending on how far you plan to go on a single charge.
- The 2.9 kWh version offers a range of 122 km.
- The 3.7 kWh version gives a longer 161 km range.
However, this extra range comes at an additional cost which is about Rs 20,158 extra for the 450S and Rs 10,000 extra for the 450X. But for riders who love long weekend rides or don’t want to charge too often, that upgrade could be worth it.
