@abhishek.balaji Design team nailed it although black wouldn’t be a preference for some people. When can I expect first deliveries in Hyderabad as Bangalore/Chennai are always sweet spots for you…

I believe people @atherenergy have also thought of long term use of Series 1, as per their current scenario, where they are talking about production till Mar 2021 they might have to rethink on their offering of series 1 after-sales support (no one [atleast me] will like to replace the translucent part with a solid part once it is damaged). Series 1 seems to be a good name… although Series X would be a rather a much better Collector’s ed. Name… anyhow still Ather has to do some mathematics on battery and service subscription models… simply allow Android Auto / Apple Carplay Screens on Ather 450x Collector’s Edition Series . that would be simply AWESOME… [ unleashing the true power of open source]

The translucent panels are made of high automotive grade plastic, and has undergone standard testing, making it highly reliable. In any case, it’ll come with a warranty of 3 years just as the vehicle, and insurance will be applicable in the event of theft, accident or another hazard. So you won’t have to worry about availability of spares or after sales support, it’s been accounted for.

Agree with some of cyber boys points, feels more like the regular x customers may get more benefits if they have the subscription model with unlimited warranty and we don’t. There seemed to be some posts suggesting they may offer the black color as well if there is availability …? Only 2 free services ( which most likely will be 1 as most ppl will ride an average of 5k per year ) may not cut it to feel ‘special’ … first services don’t usually require much to be done either.
Maybe 3 yrs of ather 1 could be included … or a coupon to buy accessories ? Or free performance tyres along with the panels… ( Just throwing out suggestions I know some will be less viable than others )

If you look closely at the tire wall. You can notice that the 450x Series 1 has been fitted with TVS tires (100/80 -12 at front and 110/80-12 at rear), both being wider section tires. Would this be the performance tyre at offer at a later date or are there any changes to it.
They look amazing 
, it adds a very sporty profile to the scooter.

@abhishek.balaji, @atherenergy. Since it is limited edition you will deliver to only to pre booked customer your production will be limited till march 2021.
What will happen availability of panels front and rear after 5-7 yrs if it is damaged by usage or due to accident. Did you provide at that moment because production will be limited?

Can you please explain the breakup of the price and the subsidy amount?
For Maharashtra as per the EV Policy document 2018 - 15% subsidy (maximum limit of Rs.5,000 for 2 wheeler) How does the breakup of the price look like for the quoted 156362 (450X) for Mumbai/Pune?

Thanks for the link but the request is to share the split of the price -
Example - If the cost is 159000 and a subsidy of 5000 then the price in Mumbai/Pune will be 159000-5000 = 154000/- and not 156362/- instead.
If I do the math now, does it mean that the price is >159000 (161362/- ) in Mumbai/Pune?
appreciate if @abhishek.balaji can elaborate?

It says on that page that the prices given there are “Ex-showroom pricing (after state and FAME subsidies; does not include road tax, insurance & registration charges)”. Of course, @abhishek.balaji can elaborate more.

I’ve the same question, why extra ₹2362 for Maharashtra? Even other city’s prices are also increased by same amount, only Bangalore prices are ₹231 extra

My assumption: Similar to ICE vehicles, the ex-factory price will be different for each states. BLR being the cheapest considering the manufacturing facility present in BLR itself.
The difference might be based on the distance between Manufacturing facility to the city where it is being sold.
This might reduce with scale and more manufacturing facilities over a period. But, right now that 159,000 what you see in website is only for BLR.

Is anyone interested in Ather 450x collector’s edition transfer? I really need one
As mentioned by @Rohit.Gandhi the prices are up by Rs. 231 for BLR as well. Then which place is the price exactly Rs. 159000/- if we go and buy at the factory?
