What is the price of the Ather Energy 450S?

The 450S costs between ₹1,30,310 and ₹1,52,328 ex-showroom Delhi across 3 variants, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance and varies by state.

What is the on-road price of the 450S in Delhi?

Roughly ₹1.37 Lakh for the base variant in Delhi: ₹1,30,310 ex-showroom plus no road tax (electric two-wheelers are exempt in Delhi), ₹1,100 registration and about ₹5,623 insurance. This is an estimate; dealer quotes include handling and accessories.

What is the real range of the 450S?

The certified range is 115 km. In everyday riding expect 94–108 km depending on mode, speed and load.

How much does the 450S cost to run per month?

Charging works out to about ₹0.24 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹185 a month before servicing.

What is the EMI for the 450S?

With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹4,130 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.

How long does the 450S take to charge?

About 7.45 hours for a full charge from a home socket, with fast charging available for quicker top-ups.

Is the 450S suitable for short riders?

Yes. Seat height is 780 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.

450S or 450X: which is better?

The 450X is ₹9,690 more expensive to start and more efficient at 161 km against 115 km. Pick the 450S for riders wanting sporty feel, the 450X for ride quality over range. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.

Which bikes are cheaper than the 450S?

Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed, the S1 Pro (Gen 3) (₹1.15 Lakh), the Chetak 35 Series (₹1.2 Lakh), the IQube (₹1.19 Lakh) start lower.

Should I expect the full 115km range on the 450S?

Plan around the reported real-world figure of 94-108km rather than the claimed 115km; actual range will depend on speed, load and how often you use the higher ride modes, so treat the brochure number as a best case.

Is the 450S worth it over the cheaper Rizta?

The main gain is a rear disc brake and marginally sportier 90kmph top speed, so it suits someone who values braking feel and a bit more pep over the Rizta's family-first comfort and slightly longer real-world range.

In short

The 450S is Ather's entry into its performance-oriented 450 family, priced from ₹1.3 lakh with a 2.9 kWh battery and disc brakes on both wheels, unusual at this price. Real-world range of 94-108km falls noticeably short of the claimed 115km, so buyers should budget for the lower end rather than the brochure number.

Battery: 2.9 kWh
Certified range: 115 km
Full charge: 7.45 hrs
Top speed: 90 km/h

What works

Disc brakes front and rear, rare among sub-₹1.5 lakh scooters
5.4kW motor and 90kmph top speed feel brisk for the segment
Colour TFT console with navigation and Bluetooth as standard
Five paint options including the Super Matte finish

What doesn't

Real-world range of 94-108km trails the claimed 115km by up to 18%
3-year, 30,000km battery warranty is short next to Ather's own Konarc
108kg kerb weight with a modest motor limits quick overtakes

Best for: Riders wanting sporty feel, Braking-focused buyers, City commutes with occasional briskness

Price and variants

Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.

Ex-showroom Delhi, the 450S range runs from ₹1,30,310 (Mono - 2.9 kWh) to ₹1,52,328 (Super Matte - 3.5 kWh) across 3 variants.

That makes it priced 14th lowest among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Roadster X Plus (₹4,689 more) and the Rizta (₹9,605 less).

On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.37 Lakh for the base variant once registration and five-year insurance are added (Delhi waives road tax on electric two-wheelers). Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.

Variant	Ex-showroom	Rough EMI
Mono - 2.9 kWh	₹1,30,310	₹4,130/mo
Mono - 3.5 kWh	₹1,51,131	₹4,790/mo
Super Matte - 3.5 kWh	₹1,52,328	₹4,830/mo

Range and charging

Running cost per month and five-year ownership estimate

Motor and ride

The 450S's 5.4 kW motor is the 13rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 90 km/h, comfortable for city and arterial roads.

A full charge from a home socket takes about 7.45 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.

Chassis hardware includes a rear monoshock and a combi-brake system, with a disc, 200 mm, 3 piston caliper up front and disc, 190 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.

Seat height is a low 780 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.

Our review

Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.

Verdict

The 450S is Ather's way of offering the 450 family's sportier feel without the Apex's price. Disc brakes at both ends are the standout at this money, and the styling and TFT console feel a notch above the Rizta. The trade-off shows up in the range column, where real-world numbers run meaningfully behind the claim.

Riding it every day

A 5.4kW motor and 90kmph top speed make the 450S feel eager off the line compared with the Rizta or Konarc, useful for filtering through city traffic. The dual disc setup, unusual at this price, gives noticeably more confident braking on wet roads than drum-braked rivals. At 108kg it handles speed breakers without much fuss, though the gap between claimed and real-world range means planning charging stops with a buffer rather than cutting it fine.

What to know before buying

The reported 94-108km real-world range against a 115km claim is the single biggest thing to factor into your decision, especially if your commute is near the upper end of that gap. The 3-year, 30,000km battery warranty matches the Rizta but trails well behind the Konarc's decade of cover, so weigh long-term battery replacement cost into the price difference. Five colour options including Super Matte finishes add some visual differentiation over Ather's cheaper models.

Who should buy it

Riders who want a scooter with genuine braking confidence and a bit more urgency than a family scooter, without stepping up to the Apex's price, should shortlist the 450S. Anyone whose commute regularly approaches 100km a day should test real-world range carefully before committing, or consider a bigger battery variant.

On safety kit the 450S has combi-brake (cbs), front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. There is no ABS, which is legal at this engine size but worth knowing before a wet-weather ride.

Against 450X, S1 Pro (Gen 3) or Rizta, it gets combi-brake (cbs), rear disc brake, tubeless tyres and side-stand engine cut-off that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: hill hold, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.

It is offered in 5 colours: True Red, Still White, Cosmic Black, Hyper Sand and Stealth Blue. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 3 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 3 years or 30,000 km; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.

Service reach is the weak point: Ather Energy has about 300 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.

The 450S launched in 2023, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
