Overview
The Ather 450 Apex Electric Scooter is the most powerful and performance-focused electric scooter ever produced by Ather Energy. Launched as a limited-edition model to celebrate the brand’s journey, the Apex sits at the top of the Ather lineup. While it shares its core hardware with the Ather 450X, the Apex receives software upgrades, a more powerful motor tune, and exclusive design elements that make it quicker, faster, and more visually striking.
Powered by a 7 kW PMSM motor and a 3.7 kWh battery, the 450 Apex can sprint from 0–40 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 100 km/h, making it the fastest Ather scooter to date. With an IDC-certified range of 157 km, advanced features like Warp+ mode and Magic Twist (one-pedal driving), and a premium price of around ₹1.90 lakh (ex-showroom), the Apex is aimed squarely at enthusiasts who want exclusivity and performance in an electric scooter.
