Electric scooters aren’t just about saving fuel anymore—they’re about style, tech, and pure riding thrill. In 2025, two giants stand out: the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 and the Ather 450 Apex. Both pack insane features, but which one’s right for you? Let’s break it down without the jargon.
Speed & Performance: Raw Power vs Smooth Control
If you love adrenaline, the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 is your beast. Its 11 kW motor rockets you to 120 km/h, leaving most petrol scooters in the dust. Real-world range? About 140–180 km, and with fast charging, you can juice up 50 km in 15 minutes.
The Ather 450 Apex isn’t as wild—it caps at 100 km/h—but it’s smoother. Think of it like a luxury sedan: refined acceleration, traction control, and buttery suspension. Range? Around 130 km, enough for daily commutes without range anxiety.

Tech & Features: Flashy vs Functional
Ola’s got the bigger screen (a 7-inch touchscreen), cruise control, and even a reverse mode. Storage? A massive 34-liter boot—perfect for groceries or a helmet.
Ather keeps it sleek with Google Maps integration, voice commands, and a cleaner UI. It feels more premium, and the build quality is rock-solid. Plus, Ather’s after-sales service is way more reliable (Ola’s still hit-or-miss).
Price: Bang for Buck vs Premium Polish
Here’s the deal:
- Ola S1 Pro Gen 2: ₹1.30–1.40 lakh (cheaper, feature-loaded).
- Ather 450 Apex: ₹1.99 lakh (pricier, but you’re paying for refinement).
