Ather 450X: Battery, range and performance
Mechanically, the 450X remains unchanged. The new Ather 450X Gen 3 has a 3.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a 6 kW electric motor with a peak torque of 26 Nm. In ideal conditions, it is claimed to have a riding range of 146 km per charge, and its TrueRange is rated at 105 km on a single charge.
Here’s what the company said:
Speaking on the rollout of the new AtherStack 5.0, Tarun Mehta, Co-Founder & CEO, Ather Energy, said, ” In 2018, when we launched AtherStack in Ather 450, it was the first ever software engine on any two-wheeler in India, probably even globally. It powered first-to-market experiences like the touchscreen dashboard, onboard navigation, and remote diagnostics, which barely existed even in luxury cars at that time.”
He added, “With a fluid new UI and Google Vector Maps, AtherStack 5.0 takes our touchscreen and maps experience to a whole new level. It also enables us to leverage our hardware to unlock new experiences such as AutoHoldTM. AtherStack will continue to form a core of our product strategy, allowing us to constantly keep enhancing our product experience on the existing hardware platform.”
