Ather 450X HR: Battery pack And Performance
The homologation document reveals that the 450X HR comes with a substantial 3.66 kWh battery pack. When it comes to range, the Ather 450X HR boasts an impressive 158 km, while the 450S HR claims 156 km under AIS 040 (Rev 1) standards. The existing 450X offers two battery options, with claimed ranges of 111 km and 150 km. Notably, the 450X HR generates 8.58 bhp in Warp mode, along with other ride modes such as Eco, Smart Eco, Ride, and Sport. Among these, Eco is the least powerful, producing just 2.54 bhp.
The Ather 450S HR claims a top speed of 80 km/h, and the 450X HR is expected to offer a similar range. Both the 450S and 450X models currently on sale promise a top speed of 90 km/h, although the new documents do not mention the top speed for the Ather 450X HR. Furthermore, the Ather 450X HR is equipped with the identical Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor found in the current 450X electric scooter range. This uniformity is significant as it guarantees a dependable and well-tested motor for this latest addition.
Verdict
The Ather 450X HR is gearing up to offer a significant increase in range thanks to its powerful battery. With its familiar Ather design and a range of riding modes, it's a great option for environmentally conscious riders who want an electric scooter with more mileage.
