Ather Top Model Review
The Ather 450 Apex (or top variant of the Rizta Z) stands out as the most premium offering in Ather’s electric scooter lineup. It combines high performance, sharp design, and advanced technology, making it ideal for riders who value both style and substance.
Performance-wise, it features a 3.7 kWh battery and a motor that delivers about 7 kW of peak power, enabling quick acceleration (0–40 km/h in under 3 seconds) and a top speed of ~100 km/h. The real-world range is around 90–110 km depending on ride mode, though Ather claims an IDC range of 157 km.
The scooter boasts a host of features: a vibrant touchscreen display, fast charging, “Magic Twist” regenerative braking, multiple ride modes, and refined chassis handling. The transparent side panels and limited edition colors add a unique design flair.
However, there are trade-offs. The price is significantly higher than lower variants, and some smart features are locked behind subscription plans. Real-world range can drop quickly with aggressive riding, and Ather’s service experience varies across cities — with some users reporting delays or inconsistent support.
Also, while the scooter is fun and quick, it may not be the most practical for heavy utility or long-distance highway-style commutes. Storage space is decent but limited, and infrastructure (like fast chargers) matters a lot for regular riders.
Verdict: The Ather top model is a great choice for urban riders looking for premium design, quick acceleration, and modern tech — and who are willing to pay for it. But if you're focused more on value or utility, a mid-range variant might be more practical.

It's a really good scooter, good charging speed other than scooters, light start, comfortable, that's great looking, premium like a pro, Twist down to accelerate. Twist up to slow down. Halt on slopes automatically without brakes. Whenever you stop on inclines, you won’t roll back or forth more squeezing your legs in. Tall or small, there’s enough room for all.

I bought Apex in 2024 during the launch…the bike is absolute trash..they are charging you an extra 30-35k just for the new colour and that useless feature of twist…
Marketing gimmick the twist feature doesn’t give no additional range of 7km like the company claims The twist effect only works when it’s running at 25 km speed total waste of money
Service
When I brought the bike already had lot of problems like range issue and while running the reverse symbol pop up and bike restrict the speed to 30km in whichever mode I’m riding and I have to park in Side switch off the key and start back everytime which is very annoying…
The service team charges youa minimum of 1200 - 2500+ for every service yet they never solve the issue
Conclusion
Wasting 2 lakh without any additional benefits and no proper response after post sale….go for the normal version 450x or else new reliable brands have appeared…I definitely don’t recommend Apex

Ather 450 Apex – Disappointing and Unhappy Experience Despite High Expectations on the special and top model Ather had to offer.
As an EV enthusiast, I had high hopes for the Ather 450 Apex, believing it to be the best, special edition, and most premium model Ather offers. However, after investing a significant amount in this scooter(2.25L OnRoad Price), I am very unhappy with the experience so far. I got it booked via Flipkart and delivered via the nearest service station (Kollam, Kerala)
Haven’t received the Halo helmet yet after a month's delivery.
The first day after delivery, I experienced a terrible sound from the motor belt and the sales team confirmed a screw missing from the belt cover which is close to the belt causing the cover and belt collision. This proves the lack of quality checks during delivery.
The second day onwards, my worst nightmare had started. It will not switch on when you needed the most. I had to struggle and wait many times and if you are lucky, it would be ON, and I can ride.
One of the most frustrating issues is that the scooter unexpectedly enters into limp mode while riding, or not switching ON, without any warning. This not only affects the overall riding experience but also raises concerns about reliability and safety, especially on long commutes.
Additionally, there are serious speed inconsistencies in Eco Smart Mode. At times, the scooter refuses to go beyond 20-25 km/h even on flat roads, while at other times, it performs well. This unpredictable performance is disappointing, especially in a high-end model like the 450 Apex.
When spending a premium amount on what is supposed to be Ather’s top-tier model, riders expect smooth, consistent, and reliable performance—which, unfortunately, is not the case here. I sincerely hope Ather addresses these issues and provides a resolution, as customers investing in their flagship model deserve nothing less than the best experience.
I have raised this concern with the sales and service team and no resolution so far. Most of the days are wasted to get this sorted with another service.
So far my sales and service feedback is Pathetic. Don’t go for ATHER. I have fallen for their crap. Please think twice before you go for Ather.
Will share the update in a few weeks about their resolution time and the performance of the vehicle post service.
So far vehicle covered less than 500 KM and less than a month after delivery.
