A Quick Preview of the Layout of Ather Family Scooter
The Ather Family Scooter is fully disguised and has a design comparable to the well-liked TVS iQube, as seen in a spy photo. With its wide floorboard, boxer configuration, and large pillion grip handle, this family-friendly design emanates an original charm that is an attribute of Ather’s establishing style.
The 450X and other Ather electric scooters have a more attractive design than this one. Particularly, the scooter has a folding passenger footrest for added comfort while keeping the 450X’s wheel design language. Similar to the 450X’s, the rearview camera suggests certain well-known capabilities, although changes are anticipated to keep the price point low.
Driving the Tour: Lithium and Extended Range
It is expected that the Ather Family Scooter would have the same range as the Ather 450X. The 2.9 kWh battery of the current 450X is said to provide a range of about 115 kilometers. Industry sources, however, speculate that Ather would first release a low-end, affordable model before launching the flagship model, appealing to customers who are both price-conscious and premium-seeking.
Packed with features Delight
Now that we’re talking features, the Ather Family Scooter is ready to impress with an LCD instrument cluster that looks like the 450X and has reading and seamless smartphone integration. You may anticipate a number of features, such as low battery alarms, OTA updates, a digital speedometer, a standing alarm, a digital trip meter, smartphone connectivity for calls and SMS, and a regenerative brake system.
The scooter will have complete LED illumination to brighten the path ahead. Upcoming additions include electric start assistance, parking assistance, and many more interesting features. It is projected that the seat would provide a roomy 22 to 25 liters of storage, which will enhance the entire design’s navigation.
