History

The Ather 450 was first unveiled in February 2016 while aiming for a 2016 or early-2017 launch.[4] But after delays it was finally launched in September 2018 in Bengaluru along with its lower-end sibling, the Ather 340.[3][5] Ather 340 was later discontinued due to low demand.[6]

The scooter was made available in Chennai in October 2019 with 10 charging stations set up across the city.[6]

Features

The scooter features a 7-inch touchscreen dashboard, and comes with features like on-board navigation, diagnostics, all-LED lighting, fast charging, reverse parking assist, auto-cancelling indicators, smartphone integration, and cloud connectivity to send and receive data from Ather's servers.[5] It also has an incognito mode that does not share the user's GPS data with Ather.[4]
