Low-cost Ather 450S could rival the Ola S1 Air

The 450S could be a slightly stripped-down version of the 450X with fewer features.

Ather Energy is likely to introduce a low-cost version of the 450X e-scooter. According to a recent trademark filing, the new variant could be called '450S'.

Details of the Ather 450S are scarce. However, we can expect a slightly stripped-down variant with fewer features. The 450S might do away with functionalities like auto hold and riding modes.

Besides, Ather might also reduce the size of the battery to bring down the price tag in order to compete with the likes of the Ola S1 Air and TVS iQube.

At present, Ather offers 450X at a price tag of Rs 98,183 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Customers can opt for the Pro Pack for an additional Rs 30,000. The 450S is likely to have an even lower price tag.
