Overview
- Ather launched the Konarc on Saturday, introducing an EL‑platform, metal‑bodied scooter family with the S‑line available for sale now and higher‑spec variants to follow.
- The entry Konarc S starts at Rs 99,999 ex‑showroom with mid and top S trims priced higher for 125 km and 161 km IDC claims respectively while pricing for the 200 km S and Z variants has not been disclosed.
- S‑line models use three battery sizes — 2.1 kWh, 2.7 kWh and 3.5 kWh — with IDC claims of about 100/125/161/200 km and estimated real‑world ranges of roughly 80 km, 100 km and 130 km for the first three claims.
- The scooter includes connected and rider‑assist features such as OTA updates, theft/tow alerts, navigation, AutoHold, reverse/airwalk and a TFT touchscreen, plus larger wheels and longer suspension for rough city roads.
- Ather offers a standard battery warranty of 3 years or 30,000 km and optional extensions up to 10 years or 100,000 km while handing deliveries in stages — some S variants from late September, base S in Q1 next year, 200 km S in Q3 next year and Konarc Z in Q2 2027 — to manage production and test market demand.
