Road tested
Review · Ather Energy 450X
We ran the 450X through our own range protocol for six weeks and 1,180 km of Bengaluru. The hardware is excellent; the number that decides the purchase is the one on the side stand of your building.
Comparisons

Comparison · Performance electric scooter vs Electric retro scooter

Comparison · Cruiser tourer vs Adventure

Five-star structures, a self-charging hybrid, a 200 bhp seven-seater and a micro-SUV that starts below ₹6 lakh. This is what ₹15 lakh buys in the segment that swallowed the Indian car market.
