Ather 450 Series To Be Dearer From January 2025
The Ather 450 lineup begins with the 450X, which comes in two versions: a 2.9kWh model priced at Rs 1.41 lakh and a 3.7kWh variant at Rs 1.55 lakh. A more budget-friendly option, the 450S, simplifies the 450X by swapping the touchscreen TFT for an LCD display and removing the Warp mode, bringing its price down to Rs 1.18 lakh. At the high end, the 450 Apex stands as the most powerful version of the 450 range, featuring exclusive technologies like Magic Twist, and is priced at Rs 1.95 lakh. All three models will see a price increase of Rs 4,000-6,000, though the exact increase for each variant has yet to be detailed, same as the Rizta.
Ather Energy 'Eight70 Warranty' Introduced
Ather Energy has introduced the "Eight70 Warranty' for its Rizta and 450 Series electric scooters, available as an add-on for Rs 4,999. This warranty offers coverage for up to 8 years or 80,000 km, whichever comes first, with a minimum 70% battery health assurance. It includes full protection against manufacturing defects and failures, with no upper limit on claim amounts. Additionally, the warranty ensures that claims will not be rejected due to deep discharge caused by leaving the scooter uncharged or idle for extended periods, providing long-term reliability and peace of mind for Ather scooter owners.

The "Eight70 Warranty", however, does not cover damages resulting from customer negligence, nor does it apply if the battery has been modified or altered, as this will void the warranty. It also excludes situations such as theft, abuse, accidents, flooding, or fire. Additionally, the warranty does not cover the natural wear and tear of the battery or any physical damage to parts due to usage or external conditions.
Verdict
The latest price hike is in line with the industry that generally keeps the new year fro its revised rate list implementation. While the year-end discounts are already in full swing, you can acore additional deals depending on loacation, model choice, and a few more dynamic factors.
