Reasons To Buy And Not Buy The Ather 450X

The Ather 450X has been THE electric scooter for years in the Indian EV market, for its reliability, performance and features. However, now that FAME 2 subsidies are finally ending, the prices of electric scooters are going up. So at this point, should you or should you not buy the Ather 450X now? Let’s explore.

Now apart from the obvious price hike, the free features on the Ather 450X have ended too. So now you need to pay to access the full suite of features including navigation, phone connectivity and even fast charging. 

In addition to that, there is also pretty good competition from rival scooters, including the Ola S1 Pro, TVS iQube and Vida V1 Pro. But, most importantly, Ather Energy itself has other interesting alternatives on offer.

First up, the Ather 450S. It is a more affordable variant of the 450X, which slightly cuts down on features like Warp mode, touchscreen display, full-fledged navigation and also a little bit of range. But, overall, at a more affordable price, you get the same looks, similar exciting performance and the reliability that the Ather brand has come to signify. The second alternative is a more powerful and exciting Ather 450 Apex, which is yet to be launched, but from what we know, will pack a thrilling performance.

Now, on the other side, the Ather 450X is still one of the most exciting yet reliable electric scooters in the market that promises the same performance every time. So it is still definitely a great option to pick if you are looking for a hassle-free riding experience from an EV.
