Ather Energy unveils EL, its next-generation scooter platform for multiple segments.

At the third edition of Ather Community Day 2025, Ather Energy announced the launch of its all-new EL platform, the company’s first new vehicle architecture since the 450 series. Designed for versatility, scalability, and cost optimisation, the EL platform will support multiple product segments. The platform introduces Advanced Electronic Braking System (AEBS) for shorter stopping distances and reduced rear-wheel lockups, and the Ather Charge Drive Controller, which combines the charger and motor controller, removing the need for a separate portable charger.

In addition to the EL platform, Ather introduced AtherStack™ 7.0, the latest version of its proprietary software stack that powers all its vehicles. It also announced a next-generation fast charger and updates to its existing product lineup. The company showcased Redux, a concept moto-scooter that blends scooter and motorcycle dynamics, featuring a lightweight frame, 3D-printed seat, and adaptive technologies such as posture-based transformation, Morph-UI, and “Take Off”acceleration. Redux embodies Ather’s vision for the future of mobility.

Ather also updated the 2025 Ather 450 Apex with Infinite Cruise, its cruise control system for Indian conditions. It includes CityCruise for speed control across city and highway rides, Hill Control for torque management on slopes and descents using regenerative braking, and Crawl Control for low-speed movement on rough surfaces, supported by Multimode Traction Control. Infinite Cruise will roll out on the 2025 450 Apex in the coming months.

Moreover, the company announced an OTA update for the Rizta Z, enabling full touchscreen functionality, a new Eco Mode, and a refreshed UI for existing owners. The Rizta Z also gets a new Terracotta Red variant with a super-matte, dual-tone finish. Additionally, Ather unveiled a compact 6 kW fast charger that doubles charging speed, adds 30 km range in 10 minutes, and includes a tyre inflator on select units.

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.”

Swapnil Jain, Co-founder & CTO at Ather Energy, said, “At Ather, we have always focused on simplifying technology and making it mainstream for riders. With AtherStackTM 7.0, we’re bringing AI into everyday riding through an LLM (Large Language Model) trained for our use cases and tuned to Indian dialects. Voice is the first step in that journey, an interface beyond buttons that makes rides smarter, safer, and more intuitive. It also makes our existing suite of AtherStackTM 7.0 features more accessible and mainstream for everyday use.”
