  • Future of automobiles is electric. Back in India, companies like Hero Electric, Ampere, Okinawa, and Ather Energy are leading from the front in the electric scooter space.

    In the latest update, homegrown company Ather Energy is working to launch its first e-scooter, the Ather S340, in India this year.

    The pre-bookings for this highly-anticipated scooter will start in June.

    Here's all about it.

    It is equipped with LED light, alloy wheels, a telescopic fork, a rear monoshock, disc brakes at both ends along with a combined braking system.

    For ride convenience, the company claims a 51:49 weight distribution (front to rear), and symmetrical lateral weight distribution (left to right), low center of gravity and a low-speed reverse gear.

    The scooter has a top speed of 72 kmph and can accelerate from 0-40 kmph in 5.1 seconds, claims the company.

  • The S340 packs a 2.2kWh Lithium-ion battery and offers a range of 60km on a single charge.

    It also features an intelligent 'battery management system' which monitors the overall battery charge capacity and the range it can offer.

    The battery, rated IP 67, is dust and waterproof and sits underneath the floorboard to provide a low center of gravity which results in better handling.

    For further convenience, the scooter can be charged via a regular 5-amp electrical socket, the everyday socket we use to charge phones or laptops.

    Ather says that the battery pack has a rated life of 50,000km, and will need replacement past this mileage mark.

    Moreover, the display can connect to your mobile phone via an app to help you view riding patterns and request remote diagnostics.

    Further, the scooter's firmware can receive updates over-the-air for adding features and functionality over time.
