Ather Energy unveils the S340, India's first smart e-scooter

Ather Energy today unveiled India’s first smart e-scooter, the S340.  With a lithium ion battery pack, top speed of 72 kmph and a range up to 60 km, the scooter offers an uncompromised ride for 50,000 km. The vehicle achieves 80 per cent charge in 50 minutes in fast charging mode and can be charged from any 5A normal socket in normal mode.  Its LED lights respond to ambient light conditions.
 
The S340 comes with a touchscreen dashboard which integrates cloud-based data to help personalise the consumer ride experience. The touchscreen comes with features like user profile based sign in, onboard navigation and pre-configured drive modes like sport and economy. The S340 Mobile App helps the user configure ride and profile preferences, and sync navigation routes remotely. 
 
Pre-ordering will open in the cities of Bengaluru, Chennai and Pune in the next quarter. The company is also aiming at setting up an ambitious public charging infrastructure in every city it will operate in, partnering with government and private enterprises.
