  The Ather 450x is among the finest daily commuters money can buy in the electric scooter segment. Range in eco mode is generous, the dashboard and connected app are class-leading, and ride modes let you tailor the experience from efficient to spirited. Boot space remains the only meaningful compromise. For urban commuters who want the best possible software and build quality at this price, the 450x is the clear answer.

  The 450x works well as a family scooter in most respects — smooth throttle, excellent brakes, premium build, and dependable connected safety features. The suspension handles pillion loads competently on city roads. Boot space cannot fit two full-face helmets, which remains a practical constraint for dual-helmet families. The scooter's strong safety credentials and geofencing reliability make it a trustworthy choice for families riding within metro areas.

  Fast charge speed (0-80%)66%

  The 450x is a better long-distance proposition than most electric scooters — the top speed is genuine, highway stability is above average, and fast-charge capability closes the gap at Ather Grid points. But the charging network outside the top six metros remains a serious limitation for planned intercity routes. Highway range drops to 75-85 km at cruising speeds, requiring one or two stops on typical day trips. A strong urban-plus-occasional-highway machine, not a touring tool.

  For enthusiasts the 450x is the most compelling electric scooter available in India. Warp mode acceleration is genuinely startling and the top speed of 116 kmph gives real expressway confidence. The OTA update track record is unmatched -- Ather consistently delivers features post-purchase. The riding character is sharp and involving without being nervous. The only gap is personalisation depth compared to some rivals. This is what an enthusiast EV scooter should feel like.

  Warp mode is the best thing on two wheels right now

  I have ridden a lot of scooters and the Ather 450x in warp mode is unlike anything else in this segment. The 0-40 pull is savage, the top speed of 116 kmph is genuinely usable on Pune's expressway stretches, and the chassis feels planted at speed in a way cheaper EVs simply do not. What sets this apart from competitors is that the software matches the hardware -- OTA updates arrive regularly, the app is polished, and features added post-purchase feel genuinely considered. Performance is consistent across temperatures, which is more than I can say for other EVs I have tested. The 450x is the benchmark.

  Performance, tech and polish -- finally all in one

  After two years on a TVS iQube I switched to the Ather 450x and the difference in every dimension is immediately apparent. The acceleration in sport mode dispatches Mumbai traffic effortlessly; warp mode is reserved for rare empty stretches and never disappoints. The touchscreen is fast and readable even in direct sun. OTA updates have improved throttle mapping and added useful ride analytics since purchase. Charging at the Ather Grid in Bandra is consistently fast and reliable. Build quality, panel fit, and component feel are a full step above competitors at this price. Thoroughly recommended for anyone who wants the complete package.

  Brilliant scooter let down badly by charging network

  I want to start by saying the Ather 450x is a genuinely excellent scooter in almost every respect — performance, build, software and city range are all class-leading. My problem is that I live in Jaipur and ride regularly to Ajmer and Kota. The Ather Grid between these cities is almost nonexistent and the 450x's 80-90 km highway range is not sufficient for comfortable intercity riding without a stop at an unreliable third-party charger. I once waited two hours at a petrol station's 5A socket outside Ajmer. Ather's marketing implies the network supports this kind of riding but the reality does not. Until the Grid expands meaningfully beyond metro boundaries, riders in Tier-2 cities face a genuinely frustrating ownership experience despite having a world-class scooter.

  Smart, safe and smooth — our family's best decision

  We bought the Ather 450x as a family scooter after months of research and it has exceeded expectations. The power delivery is seamlessly smooth, which is exactly what you want when children ride pillion. Build quality is reassuringly solid — every panel, switch, and component feels premium. Suspension absorbs Chennai's road imperfections well at family riding speeds. The geofencing alerts work reliably and the app gives my husband peace of mind when I ride solo. Charging overnight at home keeps it ready every morning without thought. The safety-first riding character of the default mode makes this ideal for family use in the city.
