Who says electric bikes cannot be cool and eco-friendly at the same time? Affordable? Well, there is a price all of us need to pay to keep our ecology intact for our grandchildren

Bangalore has always been India’s city of the future. So it’s not surprising that Ather Energy, creators of India’s smart EV bikes, started here.

Every functionality on the Ather 450 is powered by software that was internally developed by Ather’s 300+ R&D department. Many had to be built from scratch and adapted specifically for a  two-wheeler. For example, the LED indicators on the bike- and cut! Spoilers!

India, unlike many other countries, boasts a huge demand for two-wheelers, and the Ather 450, priced as it is, seeks to break into a market littered with cheaper, more conventional options (that are, of course, far less cool, but a middle-class Sharma Uncle is not likely to consider that). So why, one might ask, should they buy the Ather 450?

(Like I said: cool)

TechTree sat down with Ather’s CTO, Swapnil Jain, for a chat that spanned the company’s newest offering, the Ather 450, economics, and Star Trek.
