Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 vs Ather 450 Apex : Within India, the electric scooter market is currently riding high, and the two scooters, which will probably figure prominently in the year 2025, stand out: The Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 and the Ather 450 Apex. Both are capable of combining performance and technology with gorgeous beauty, albeit with somewhat different objectives. In simple terms, the choice boils down to whether an individual prefers range and speed or advanced features and design.
With a 5.5 kW motor, the Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 gets to a top speed of 117 km/h by accelerating from 0-40 km/h in just 2.1 seconds. It certainly suits riders who want light, nimble engines in the city but, at times, on highways. The Ather 450 Apex comes, needless to say, with a 7 kW motor, a much lower top speed of just 100 km/h, and an acceleration of 0-40 km/h in a total of 2.9 seconds. Although it is slightly slower than the Ola in acceleration, the ride is smooth and responsive, making it suitable for any urban man’s commuting.
Well over 320 km IDC-certified distance, it is perfect for long tours and has a range of around 157 km per charge on the Ather 450 Apex, sufficient for daily running in the city but requiring more frequent charging on longer trips. Charging time takes a little longer on both; Ola takes nearly 7 hours for a full charge, while the Ather takes about 5.5 hours. Both scooters also support fast charging for convenience.

In contrast, the Ather 450 Apex has a battery rated at 3.7 kWh and possesses a touchscreen dashboard, navigation assist, over-the-air updates, and other connected features that combined with everything else give it an advanced and futuristic impression.
