Ather Energy has announced a series of significant product and technology developments at the third edition of Ather Community Day 2025. Ather unveiled its highly anticipated all-new EL platform, its first vehicle architecture since the 450. Built for versatility, scalability, and cost optimisation, the EL platform sets the stage for an entirely new generation of Ather scooters across multiple segments, redefining what performance, choice, and innovation mean for Indian riders.
Ather also introduced AtherStack 7.0, featuring voice as a new medium of interaction with scooters, along with a host of new features designed to make tech more intuitive and easy to use. In addition, Ather announced its next-generation fast charger, enabling quicker charging for EV owners, along with updates to its existing product lineup.
Tarun Mehta, Co-founder & CEO, Ather Energy, said, “With the EL platform, we are laying the foundation for Ather’s next phase of growth. Just as the 450 defined our first chapter, EL will define the next, enabling us to develop multiple types of scooters at scale far more efficiently. This platform-first approach enables faster innovation and improved efficiency, serviceability, and rider experience. EL reflects years of learning, deep R&D, and engineering. Our new factory at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar will scale with EL platform products to meet growing demand effectively.”
EL Platform
Ather’s next-generation EL platform is designed to meet the evolving and diverse needs of electric scooter buyers in India. The EL platform offers the flexibility to build a wide variety of form factors by utilising a common set of key components. It has been designed on the back of 26 Lakh kms of field data and features a new chassis, powertrain, and fully redesigned electronics stack. The versatility it offers enables Ather to cater to different consumer segments, use cases, and markets while being more cost-effective. The simpler architecture and reduced component count enable 15% faster assembly. This also allows up to 2X faster periodic services, increasing the service interval up to 10,000 km.
The EL platform also introduces significant advancements to safety and convenience. Safety is improved through the Advanced Electronic Braking System (AEBS), which enhances braking performance by reducing stopping distance and minimizing rear-wheel lockups. Convenience is elevated via the Ather Charge Drive Controller, which integrates an onboard charger with a motor controller, removing the need for customers to carry their portable chargers.
Redux
Ather also showcased Redux, a concept moto-scooter that offers a glimpse into the future of performance. Designed with an ‘inside out’ approach, Redux redefines how intuitive a vehicle can be, masterfully combining the nimbleness of a scooter with the dynamics of a motorcycle. The vehicle feels like a natural extension of your body and is built around responsiveness and adaptability. It features a lightweight aluminium frame, a 3D-printed lattice mesh seat, and body panels crafted from future-ready materials like AmplyTex.
It introduces experiences such as adaptive ride dynamics, posture-based transformation from scooter to sport bike, and Morph-UI, a next-gen HMI that transforms based on riding context to truly adapt to the rider’s intent. It also builds a new, thrilling experience called "Take off", designed to launch your vehicle forward with ultra-fast acceleration. Redux is a collection of all these mechanical and digital explorations, showcasing Ather’s vision for the future of intelligence and performance.
Atherstack 7.0
Ather will also release AtherStack 7.0, the biggest upgrade to its proprietary technology stack that powers all magical experiences on Ather scooters. AtherStack 7.0 is designed to make technology more mainstream and intuitive for riders by introducing a new medium of interaction with the scooter via voice. Unlike traditional voice assistants, it uses natural language capabilities, enabling seamless conversations. AtherStack 7.0 can proactively alert riders to share live location, update them on tyre pressure, and other important information.
