Electric Vehicle manufacturer, Ather Energy, showcases their EL platform and innovative ideas at the Community Day in the year 2025.
Ather, the Indian electric vehicle manufacturer, has made a significant stride in the world of two-wheeler technology with the unveiling of its second major architecture, the EL platform, and the concept e-scooter, Project Redux.
The EL platform, designed as a modular unibody frame, marks a departure from the unibody steel frame used in the Ather 450. This new design simplifies the number of parts used, which will help reduce costs and improve efficiency. The platform supports battery pack sizes ranging from 2 kWh to 5 kWh, offering flexibility to cater to various customer needs.
One of the key features of the EL platform is the new electronic braking system, which promises shorter stopping distances and significantly upgraded braking performance. This is complemented by a new transmission system, more akin to a gearbox, that ensures smoother and more efficient acceleration. Service intervals for scooters based on the EL platform have been extended to 10,000 km, and the simpler parts mean that these scooters will be 2 times faster to service.
Ather has showcased the first concept scooter built on the EL platform, named EL01. The EL01 was introduced with an approximate price of ₹1,10,000 and was unveiled in July 2023. The design of the EL01 demonstrates how the EL platform can accommodate diverse body styles, paving the way for a range of future models.
Project Redux, another concept by Ather, diverges from the EL platform in its design. The scooter features a cast aluminium frame for stability and a body made from high-performance material. It also boasts a twin-panel horizontal display for minimalistic ride data and a 3D-printed lattice mesh seat for flexibility.
One of the standout features of Project Redux is its true keyless experience, automatically recognizing the rider. The scooter also promises adjustable suspension geometry based on rider posture, ensuring a comfortable and personalized ride. However, Project Redux does not use the Ather Charge Drive Controller or the simplified service intervals of the EL platform.
The new Ather Charge Drive Controller, which combines the motor controller and the charger, eliminates the need for a bulky portable charger, making charging more convenient for users.
With Project Redux and the EL platform, Ather continues to push the boundaries of electric two-wheeler technology, offering innovative solutions that cater to the needs of modern riders.
