Ather Electric Scooter Patent Disclosed, Looks Bigger Than 450X

Patent image of a new Ather Energy electric scooter, which looks bigger with different styling, has been uncovered.

The design patent shows that the upcoming product from the electric scooter manufacturer will sport a large flyscreen, a new headlight setup, small front fender and raised handlerbars.

It also sports simple, yet sharp, bodywork, a long flat seat (which seems to extend even after the bodywork ends) and a grab handle for the pillion.

The Ather electric scooter patent does not show the rear profile of the scooter which rides on alloy wheels. It will be offered with a front disc brake, while the rear brake could also be a disc, but the patent image is not clear enough to be able to determine that.

Expected to be based on the 450X, the scooter could sport the same 2.9 kWh battery pack, 6 kW (8 HP) electric motor making 26 Nm of torque and a real world range of 85 km.

Features such as riding modes, touchscreen display, Bluetooth-based music and call access, Google Maps, reverse assist, among others could well be offered with this new scooter from Ather.

If the new electric scooter is positioned above the 450X, it will cost more than Rs. 1.47 lakhs (ex-showroom, New Delhi) which Ather charges for the 450X.
