Apart from White and Space Grey, the manufacturer has launched True Red, Cosmic Black, Slat Green and Lunar Grey colour options of the Ather 450X making a total count of six different colour options available to customers.
Ather Engery has also updated the AtherStack. This includes the software, firmware, system intelligence and algorithms on the electric scooter. AtherStack 5.0 brings several upgrades to the scooter in the form of enhanced torque output without reducing the range, better range predictions and intelligent auto cut-off when plugged into a charger to prolong battery life.
