INDEX

Ather 450STM was crafted with obsessive attention
to detail. It was designed from the ground up to
make urban stop-and-go trac more bearable. But
before you get on the easy, comfy ride, here’s
everything you need to know.
This quick start guide will tell you all about the
features and components of the Ather 450S, the
Ather AppTM, the battery pack and the Ather DotTM.
This guide helps you get going, the moment you
receive your Ather 450S keys.

THE TWO BIG WORDS
WARNING indicates something that could hurt
you or others.
The other one is CAUTION, it indicates something
that could harm your scooter.

WARNING
• FIRST AND FOREMOST
Read this thoroughly before your first ride. So many
things are new. Once you understand all the
controls and features, you’ll be ready to hit the road.
• MAINTENANCE IS A MUST
Along with good ride handling skills, regular
inspection and maintenance are essential for a
great experience. Following these simple rules will
make sure that your warranty stays intact.
• NO TINKERING
We know you wouldn’t mess around with the high
voltage components like the battery pack, motor
etc. Still we need to put on paper that they should
be serviced only by Ather technicians.

Smartly designed to accommodate a full-sized
helmet, it also has an LED strip lamp so that finding
things in poorly lit parking spaces is easier. Carry up
to 15 kg and a volume of 22L.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the under-seat storage. A simple
check: the seat should close eortlessly when you
drop it down. If you need to press it down, it’s
over-packed and there is a high possibility that it
gets damaged.

UNDER-SEAT STORAGE

SCOOTER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) /
CHASSIS NUMBER

is engraved on the chassis. Remove the rubber
grommet in the under-seat storage to access it.

CAUTION
The storage box is built to be rain-proof. But water
can seep through if a pressure jet wash is used to
clean the scooter. Remember to empty the
under-seat storage before washing. Always store
the portable charger in its cover to protect it from
water leaks.
