Ather Energy is gearing up to broaden its range of electric scooters, particularly within the 450 series. CEO Tarun Mehta recently provided a glimpse of the upcoming flagship model, named the 450 Apex.

There’s anticipation for a special edition model called Series 2, featuring completely transparent body panels, as teased by Mehta earlier this month on his X handle.

Apart from the 450 Apex, the Bengaluru-based EV startup is also developing a new family electric scooter set to launch next year. This upcoming model is anticipated to be more budget-friendly compared to the current lineup.

The focus is on keeping costs in check while maintaining a comparable single-charge range to provide a more affordable option for potential electric scooter enthusiasts.
