Ather Konarc

Ather has recently revealed that the production version of the EL01 concept will be called the Ather Konarc. It has a typical family-oriented electric scooter look. The scooter was recently spotted testing, and we also got a glimpse of it via CEO Tarun Mehta’s social media post. The production version will be launched on August 29, 2026, at Ather’s Community Day. 

Ather Konarc Price

We expect the Ather Konarc to be priced at around Rs 99,000 (ex-showroom). That said, there are also chances of it being even more affordable if Ather offers the EV with Battery as a Subscription (BaaS). The competitive price is expected because the Ather EL platform is meant to be cost-effective, offering the possibility of multiple models using the same chassis.

Ather Konarc Colours

The Ather EL01 electric scooter concept was seen with a triple-tone colour scheme. As for the Ather Konarc, we expect it to be offered in a wide range of colours, from bright and youthful shades to more subtle and mature options.

Ather Konarc Design

It gets a typical family scooter look, with a somewhat boxy profile overall. The Konarc looks like an evolution of the Ather Rizta, but with a handlebar cowl-mounted headlight. The LED DRLs are on the apron, and the side panels get sharp creases for a cleaner look. There’s a large single-piece seat and a pillion grab handle.

Ather Konarc Motor, Battery and Performance

Ather mentioned that the main frame, wiring and the powertrain will be common for all the iterations of EVs that come out of the EL platform. To this end, we expect the Konrac to have a motor that’s similar to the one in the Ather Rizta, which produces 4.3 kW. That said, expect this motor to be tuned to offer different levels of performance, depending on the model. 

The brand has revealed that the battery pack and underpinnings will vary. It will have battery packs ranging from 2kWh to 5kWh

Ather Konarc Features

The scooter is expected to feature a TFT console, which should offer smartphone connectivity. It will (hopefully) come with all the features revealed as part of the Ather Stack 7.0 OTA update, including voice control, pothole alerts, tow and crash alerts, among others. Of course, there’ll be full-fledged navigation that works without requiring the smartphone to be connected. Other features such as riding modes, a reverse mode, and hill-hold assist are also likely to be present. 

The Konarc could also offer a large underseat storage that could fit two half-face helmets thanks to the floorboard-mounted battery. The scooter’s floorboard looks fairly spacious, along with a cubbyhole in the apron for practicality.

Ather Konarc Chassis, Wheels, Brakes And Suspension

The Scooter will feature a tubular steel frame which will be common across the whole EL lineup. That said, there will be changes made to other bits such as the subframe, suspension, and wheels to create different genres of scooters. 

In the Konark’s case, we can see that the scooter rolls on what appears to be a 14-inch front and 12-inch rear alloy wheel setup. It gets a telescopic fork and a monoshock. The scooter also gets a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear. Instead of a simple combined braking system, Ather equipped the concept with an Advanced Electrical Braking System (AEBS), which slows down the e-scooter via regenerative braking in addition to brakes via the disc and drum. Expect this to be present on the Konarc as well.

Ather EL01 Rivals

The Ather Konarc will go up against other affordable electric scooters in the market such as the TVS Orbiter, the Bajaj Chetak C2501, the Vida VX2 and the Ola S1 X range.

Ather Konrac Launch Date 

The Ather Konrac will be launched at the Ather Community Day on August 29, 2026
