The Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler company, Ather Energy has finally revealed its Series 1 that was first announced with the 450X back in January. Special to the Series 1 is its unique colour scheme that the company says is glossy black colour that has golden metallic flake in it. It also has minimal red highlights, including a racing stripe, wheel decals and its exposed trellis frame finished in red.
The 450X Series 1 comes with a 6 kW electric motor that is powered by a 2.9 kWh lithium-ion battery. It has four riding modes – Eco, Ride, Sport, and a high-performance ‘Warp’ mode. The e-scooter is claimed to accelerate from 0-40 km/h in 3.3 seconds
The range has gone up as well; the scooter now has a claimed range of 70km (up from 65km) in Ride mode. The range in Eco mode, meanwhile, has gone up by 10km, to 85km. The larger lithium-ion battery on the 450X does require more time to charge, it now takes 3hr 35min to get to 80 percent and 5hr 45min to get to a 100 percent from zero.
