M. R. Diwakar, a passionate EV enthusiast, has just taken delivery of his 11th Ather scooter, making him one of the most loyal customers of the brand. Already the proud owner of 3 Apexes, 6 Ather 450X scooters and a Rizta, Diwakar decided to add yet another Apex to his garage. The spark came during Ather Community Day 2025, when co-founder Tarun Mehta announced the long-awaited Infinite Cruise feature. Inspired by this breakthrough, Diwakar picked up his latest Apex and is already planning his first intercity ride from Bengaluru to Mysuru, a route well supported by Ather’s fast-charging network.
Diwakar’s family garage has almost every electric scooter model that Ather sells in the country. Apart from the latest addition, there are six 450X scooters, three Apexes and a Rizta. He bought his first Ather in 2020. Five years down the line, he took delivery of the eleventh scooter. Of course, he doesn’t own all of these himself. These are being used by various members of his family.
This level of trust shows how strongly Ather has connected with its community. Loyal customers like Diwakar prove that Ather isn’t just selling electric scooters — it’s building a movement around clean, connected, and futuristic mobility. The excitement is also fueled by Ather’s continuous innovation. The company has recently rolled out Infinite Cruise with modes like CityCruise, Hill Control and Crawl Control, making long and city rides safer and more comfortable. Alongside, AtherStack 7.0 brings a refreshed interface, voice commands, and new safety features to existing scooters through OTA updates.
Ather Energy is a leading Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer, founded in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain in Bengaluru. The company has quickly grown into one of the most trusted EV brands in India, known for its innovation, performance, and strong focus on community.
Ather’s journey began with the launch of the Ather 450 series, which set new benchmarks for smart, connected scooters in the country. Today, its product lineup includes the Ather 450S, 450X, the performance-focused 450 Apex, and the family-oriented Rizta. These scooters are designed with advanced features such as MagicTwist regenerative braking, multiple riding modes, and connected dashboards powered by AtherStack software.
Beyond scooters, Ather has also built its own charging network called the Ather Grid, which is among the largest fast-charging infrastructures for two-wheelers in India. The latest 6 kW fast chargers can add nearly 30 km of range in just 10 minutes, making EV ownership more practical.
Innovation continues with features like Infinite Cruise, voice-enabled dashboards, and over-the-air updates. To make EVs more accessible, Ather has introduced Battery as a Service (BaaS), extended warranties, and assured buyback programs.
With over 350 outlets today and plans to expand to 700 experience centers by March 2026, Ather is rapidly scaling its presence across India. It is also working on its new EL platform, expected to power more affordable and scalable models from 2026 onwards.
From premium performance scooters to practical family EVs, Ather Energy is shaping the future of sustainable mobility in India and inspiring more people to switch to electric with confidence.
Looking ahead, Ather has big plans. It has unveiled its next-gen EL platform, designed for scalable and affordable electric scooters, with the first model expected around the festive season of 2026. Faster charging is also on the horizon, with new 6 kW chargers capable of adding up to 30 km range in just 10 minutes.
