Ola S1 Pro vs Ather 450X : Ola S1 Pro amp Ather 450X, the latest electric scooters that have taken the Indian market by storm, show up in almost every conversation about an emerging electric scooter market in India. They are stylish, jam-packed with technology and the cherry on the cake – promise a greener way to travel. Despite the common goal of widespread consumer electric mobility, both companies run on different paths in performance, features, and comforts. In 2025, this has become an extremely hard choice to make since both have updated their models to provide much better range and smarter features.
For power, range, and style, this has it all. This largish battery pack is said to be able to go as much as up to 181 km range on a single charge, making it one of the leaders in the segment. The performance very much leaves most other EVs in this class for dead, with the top speed being recorded as an impressive 120 km/h. This commanding touch screen underpins navigation, music, and even voice commands alongside multiple riding modes and cruise control feature warrant this massive dashboard. The ride quality is easy, and the storage is massive, implying that it could serve everyday commuting purposes well.
On the other side of the coin, the Ather 450X approaches success through its premium construction and sharper performance: 150 km range and 90 km/h maximum speed. While lower than that of the Ola S1 Pro, 450X excels in agility in handling, excellent build quality, and a really quick throttle response. Ather’s UI is nice and feature-rich with things like Google Maps integration, rides statistics, and over-the-air updates. It has the sporty design that appeals to young riders who enjoy zipping through traffic.
However, in terms of charging, the Ola S1 Pro had home charging, besides fast charging through a network called Ola Hypercharger, which takes few minutes to add up a decent bit of range. Ather, too, has a fast-charging network called Ather Grid that is expanding across India. Over time, both scooters have proven to be reliable; both scooters rely on a perennial current but tend to suffer in short-term judgement because the Ather 450X tends to be just a little better in long-term durability and service experience, whereas the Ola S1 Pro is clearly better in their range and speed.
Long range, high speed, and feature-rich technology are what you’d be looking for, so this is the one you want out of the two. But if you’re looking for build quality, agile performance, and really refined riding comfort, then Ather 450X will put that smile on your face every single ride. Either way, it’s a smart eco-friendly choice for the latter form of commuting.
