Unveiled at Ather Community Day 2026, the Konarc lineup introduces cutting-edge technology, improved build quality, and accessible pricing for daily commuters.

Built on Ather’s brand-new EL Platform, the Konarc S series is designed specifically for everyday utility and comfort. Here is everything you need to know about its features, battery specifications, range, price, and booking process.

Ather Konarc S Key Specifications

• Starting Price: ₹99,999 (Ex-Showroom)

• Platform: New EL Platform (Steel Unibody Chassis)

• Claimed Range: Up to 161 km (IDC)

• Top Speed: 70 km/h

• Motor Power: 4.7 kW PMSM Motor

• Underseat Storage: 31 Litres

1. Design and Build Quality

The Ather Konarc abandons the aggressive sporty stance of the 450X in favor of a practical, family-centric aesthetic:

• Metal Body & Steel Unibody Chassis: A first for Ather, the Konarc features rear metal body panels combined with a steel unibody chassis, enhancing durability against daily wear and tear.

• Large Wheel Setup: It comes equipped with a 14-inch wheel at the front and a 12-inch wheel at the rear, coupled with Showa telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock for a smoother ride on rough city roads.

• Practical Ergonomics: Features a broad, flat footboard, an optional integrated pillion backrest (LoungeBack), and a spacious 31-litre underseat storage bin.

• All-LED Lighting: Styled with a handlebar-mounted LED headlight and a U-shaped front apron LED DRL.

2. Battery Options, Range, and Charging

The Ather Konarc S line-up is offered in three battery configurations to suit different commuting needs:

Combined Fast Charging System

Every Konarc comes with a 450W onboard charger. Additionally, Ather introduced dual-charging technology that lets users connect two 450W chargers simultaneously to achieve 900W fast charging. This allows the base 2.1 kWh variant to charge from 0 to 80% in approximately two hours.

3. Technology and Safety Innovations

Ather has introduced several software and hardware innovations in the Konarc series:

• AeBS (Advanced Electronic Braking System): Ather’s proprietary software-driven braking system that dynamically distributes braking forces between the front and rear wheels based on real-time road conditions to prevent wheel lockups.

• AtherStack Features: Includes AutoHold (hill-start assist), FallSafe (automatic motor cut-off in case of a fall), AirWalk (reverse gear and forward crawl assist), and AutoPop features.

• Smart Dashboard: Features a 7-inch digital console with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, Find My Scooter, Theft & Tow alerts, and Over-The-Air (OTA) updates.

• Weatherproof Ratings: Features an IP67-rated battery pack and motor casing for full water and dust resistance.
