Ather 450 Apex Launched With Cruise Control- Check Details

Ather Energy has announced the introduction of cruise control for its 450 Apex electric scooter, sold in the Indian market. Based on the announcement, the feature is compatible with all the models in the 450 series, including the 450 S, 450 X, and 450 Apex. The consumers who own the MY2025 version of the electric scooter will also get a backward roll of the feature. This announcement was part of several updates shared during the Ather Community Day celebration.

Called the "Infinite Cruise", the feature is operated by a switch placed on the right side of the handlebars. It differentiates itself because of its capability to operate across all speed ranges, while the lower limit stands at 10 kmph. Furthermore, the system does not turn off cruise control even in stop-and-go traffic. Instead, it pauses for a moment and resumes once the scooter catches speed again.
