In terms of performance changes, the 450 Apex gets an updated high speed of 90 to 100 kmph. The acceleration time of 0-40 kmph has now dropped from 3.3 seconds to 2.9. The company says that the starting acceleration has been enhanced by 13%, whereas acceleration between 40 and 80 kmph has been enhanced by 30%.

The top speed and acceleration time have been enhanced thanks to the PMS electric motor. The unit now churns out 7 kW (9.3 bhp) and a peak torque output of 26 Nm. The EV maker has added a new Warp+ riding mode, replacing the Warp mode.

One of the biggest and most significant changes to the 450 Apex e-scooter is the latest Magic Twist feature. Ather Energy is currently planning to launch a new family scooter called the Rizta. The auto giant has also released a new teaser for the scooter.
