The business also unveiled the updated 450X, which will be brimming with new performance and safety features. According to the manufacturer, the 450S will have the first DeepView Display in India and will have a battery capacity of 2.9 kWh, an IDC range of 115 km, a 0–40 acceleration time of 3.9 sec, and a peak speed of 90 km/h.

“The 450S, our most recent entry-level model, pioneers the 125cc performance scooter market with a first-of-its-kind DeepView Display dashboard and a slew of ground-breaking new features. The 450S considerably improves the standard for riding enjoyment and safety while maintaining performance”, according to Tarun Mehta, co-founder and CEO of Ather Energy.

The 450X, which is being introduced alongside the 450S to provide customers with additional alternatives, comes in 3kWh and 4kWh capacities and offers a choice of models with 115 km or 145 km of range. Additionally, the business said that the 7-inch DeepView Display, which has an industry-first auto-brightness feature, an industry-leading 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 18-segment characters, will offer greater readability throughout the day.

Users may easily navigate even in a challenging 8-way roundabout thanks to the DeepView Display's on-board navigation's 18+ directional options. New switchgear with a better tactile feel, two new switches, one-click reverse, and a joystick are included with the 450S and 450X. The 450S also has a coasting regen feature that slows the car down when it's at a steady coast (with no acceleration or manual braking) and regenerates the energy back to the battery to extend the battery's range.

The 450X with a 2.9 kWh battery will be the first EV scooter to be delivered, followed by the 450S in the final week of August and the 450X with a 3.7 kWh battery in October, according to the business.
