Ather electric vehicles in India (2026)
Ather has 2 electric two-wheelers on sale or confirmed for India, priced from ₹1.10L to ₹1.50L. This page covers the full line-up with specs, realistic range estimates and where each model fits.
How to read these numbers
Every range figure on this page is Ather’s claimed or certified number, published as claimed. Expect roughly 72–80% of it in ordinary Indian conditions, and the lower end at highway speed with the air conditioning running — the working behind that band is set out in how we estimate real-world range, and the table below shows both figures so you can plan around the realistic one.
All Ather electric two-wheelers compared
| Model | Price from | Claimed range | Real-world | Battery | Power | Top speed | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ather Rizta Z | ₹1.10L | 160 km | 115–128 km | 3.7 kWh | 4.3 kW | 80 km/h | Scooter |
| Ather 450X Gen 3 | ₹1.50L | 161 km | 115–128 km | 3.7 kWh | 6.4 kW | 90 km/h | Scooter |
Prices ex-showroom and indicative. Real-world range estimated at 72–80% of claimed.

₹1.50L onwards · Scooter · 161 km claimed (realistically 115–128 km) · 3.7 kWh battery
Which Ather EV should you buy?
Across the Ather range the answer turns on one number, and it is not the one most buyers start with: how far you drive on a typical day, not the longest trip you take in a year.
If your day is under 40 km and you can charge at home, the Ather Rizta Z at ₹1.10 lakh is the sensible entry to the range — a realistic 115–128 km means you plug in once or twice a week and stop thinking about it. Paying for more range than that buys weight and price you will not use.
If you drive intercity often, the Ather 450X Gen 3 is the one to look at — a claimed 161 km works out near 122 km in ordinary conditions, which is the difference between planning a trip and simply making it.
Whichever you lean towards, settle the charging question before the car question: whether you can put a charge point where you park changes Ather ownership more than any specification in the table above.

Which Ather EV has the longest range?

How much does it cost to run an electric vehicle in India?

The Ather line-up at a glance
Every figure below is calculated from Ather’s published specifications. Realistic range applies our 72–80% band; running cost assumes ₹8 a unit and about 10% charging loss.
| Model | From | Battery | Range | DC charge | Running cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ather Rizta Z | ₹1.10 lakh | 3.7 kWh | 160 km claimed, about 122 km realistic | — | about ₹0.27/km |
| Ather 450X Gen 3 | ₹1.50 lakh | 3.7 kWh | 161 km claimed, about 122 km realistic | — | about ₹0.27/km |
A narrow line-up. Ather offers 2 electric models here, so there is little room to trade one attribute for another within the brand. If none of the 2 fits your budget and your driving pattern cleanly, it is usually better to widen the search across brands than to stretch for the closest fit.
Cheapest way in is the Ather Rizta Z at ₹1.10 lakh ex-showroom. Longest claimed range is the Ather 450X Gen 3 at 161 km, which works out to roughly 122 km in ordinary conditions once the 72–80% realistic band is applied. Lowest running cost in the line-up is the Ather 450X Gen 3 at about ₹0.27 per kilometre at ₹8 a unit.
No DC fast charging is listed across this line-up, which is normal for two-wheelers and for city-focused models. It means charging happens where you park, so settle that question before anything else.
What the table cannot tell you. Three things decide whether Ather suits you and none of them is a specification: whether there is a service centre near you that handles EVs specifically, whether the battery warranty transfers to a second owner, and whether you can install a charge point where you park. Check all three before you shortlist a Ather on numbers alone. Our comparison tool will put any two of these against a rival from another brand, and the running-cost calculator takes your own electricity tariff rather than our assumed ₹8 a unit.
