Ather 450S Electric Scooter with 90 KM True Range Arrives in Nepal

Ather 450S is now officially available in Nepal.

Vaidya Energy, the authorized distributor of Ather scooters in Nepal, has expanded its portfolio with a brand-new Ather 450S.

Ather 450S is an affordable addition to the 450 series lineup. It boasts the same styling as the flagship 450X but with slightly toned-down features and performance.

Nevertheless, it manages to include DeepView Display, FallSafe, Emergency Stop Signal, Side Stand Sensor, Ride Assist, and Auto Hold!

Interestingly enough, the 450S sports the same specs as the 450X Low Range but at an even more aggressive price point!

Additionally, Ather 450S comes with a 3-year (or 30000 km) Warranty on the Battery, Scooter, and Portable Charger.

With that said, let’s take a quick look at the Ather 450S in Nepal, along with its key specifications for 2024.

Ather 450S Overview

Design

Ather 450S invokes a now familiar sharp, compact, and unique styling.

The sharp-angled styling has been borrowed from its elder 450 sibling. It continues to boast an outlandish eye-catching profile.

The front section sports a sharp protruding front fender, complete with an LED Headlamp with LED DRLs. Like before, the side indicators are cleverly integrated into the handlebar.

There is not much stylistic difference between the 450S and 450X, except for the badging.

The side design remains unchanged. And, it is built on a lightweight, heavy-duty hybrid aluminum chassis with a low center of gravity.

Likewise, the rear profile is also unchanged. It has a single-strip LED tail light with integrated indicators.

Additionally, Ather 450X comes in Space Grey, Still White, Salt Green, and Cosmic Black colors.

Performance

Ather 450S is powered by a 5.4kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. It generates a max power of 5.4kW and a max torque of 22 Nm with a 90 kmph top speed.

450S does 0-40Kmph in just 3.9 seconds!

It is supported by a 2.9kWh Lithium-Ion battery that can charge 0% to 80% in 6 hours 36 minutes. It has a certified range of 115Km (90Km True Range).

Interestingly enough, the 450S specs are the same as the 450X LR. However, there are a few key differences between the two. 

450S gets a slower 0-40 mph time, a 7-inch DeepView Display, and misses out on Warp Mode, Google Maps, and Smartphone Connectivity.

Ather 450S comes with Pro Pack as standard.

It includes essential features like FallSafe, ESS, Coasting Regen, Side Stand Sensor, Ride Assist, and Auto Hold. However, it will not come with any connectivity features.

Additional Details

Telescopic Forks and Symmetrically Mounted Progressive Monoshock handle suspension duties.

The dimensions are 1891 mm in length, 739 mm in width, and 1114 mm in height. Moreover, the wheelbase sits at 1296 mm.

Ather 450S Price in Nepal and Availability

Talking about the pricing, the Ather 450S price in Nepal starts at Rs. 3,50,000 as an introductory offer.

It is about Rs. 49,999 more affordable than the outgoing 450X base variant.

While the aggressive price does cut down on few intuitive features, the 450S does not cut down on the essentials. As such, it maintains an attractive gateway to the premium electric offering.

It is currently available for bookings and test rides at the nearest Ather showroom.

Interested individuals can reach out to Ather Energy Nepal for additional information.

The following table lists the Ather 450S price in Nepal for 2024 July.

Ather 450S rivals TVS iQube.

Despite being two different offerings, both Ather and TVS have introduced their respective affordable variants at aggressive price points by cutting down on a few features.

450S sports an aggressive styling over the family-friendly iQube.

Moreover, the Ather 450S boasts a stronger value proposition, especially with its practical features, larger motor, and similar real-world range.

However, the TVS iQube Base goes further into the affordable category by being more aggressively priced than the Ather 450S.

Nevertheless, the 450S justifies its extra costs by supporting Fast Charging (with 11 Ather Grids across Nepal) and a 3-year (or 30000 km) Warranty on Battery, Scooter, and Portable Charger.
