Ather Energy, a
Bangalore-based hardware startup has launched India’s first electric smart
scooter called S340. The S340 comes with a range of up to 60 kilometres in one
single charge. The company claims its Lithium Ion battery pack is IP67 rated
and offers an uncompromised ride for 50,000 kms.
“The future will be
connected and inevitably electric and the Ather S340 has been built as a
manifestation of this philosophy. It is an unapologetically electric vehicle,
it has been designed and built mostly in-house with engineering precision,”
said Tarun Mehta, CEO & Co-Founder of Ather Energy.
He further added, “The
automobile industry is in the midst of a huge technological disruption. The
technology of electric vehicle has advanced in leaps and bounds. It is the
preferred choice because of its inherent efficiency that will shape urban
commute and the smart cities of tomorrow.”
The S340 is not just electric but also adds few smart connected
elements to it. It comes with a touch-enabled dashboard which integrates
cloud-based to personalise the consumer’s driving experience. It also embeds
user profile based sign in like smartphones and has on-board navigation.
Ather Energy S340 also has driving modes like sport and economy
very much like sports utility vehicles and premium sedans. The company has also
developed its own S340 Mobile App which connects the rider with the vehicle and
allows for remote syncing and configuring ride and profile preferences.
