Ather Energy 450 Apex specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Motor, battery and charging
The 450 Apex's 7 kW motor is the 9rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 100 km/h, fast enough for a ring road or short highway stretch.
A full charge from a home socket takes about 5.15 hours, and it supports fast charging for a quicker top-up on the road. The battery is fixed, so you need a plug where the scooter parks.

Dimensions in practice
The 450 Apex weighs 111.6 kg with fluids, has an 780 mm seat, 170 mm of ground clearance. Clearance is average for the class.
Tyres are 90/90-12 front and 100/80-12 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Rear monoshock
One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Colour TFT console
Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Convenience
Keyless start
Start and lock with the fob in your pocket. Convenient, but replacement fobs are expensive.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
Electric
Public or home fast charger support cuts a full charge from overnight to an hour or two.
Recovers a little charge when slowing and saves brake pads.
Reverse mode
Walks the scooter backwards out of a tight parking spot under motor power.
Hill hold
Holds the brakes on a slope for a moment so you do not roll back at a signal.
Cruise control
Holds a set speed on open roads. Mostly a highway feature.
Over-the-air updates
Software features and fixes arrive without a service visit.
Companion app
Charge status, location and ride stats on your phone.
