Ather Energy has today announced the launch of the all-new Konarc which sits right below the Rizta in the brand’s family scooter lineup. It has been made available in multiple battery configurations as it boasts the claimed IDC range from 100 km to 200 km per charge. The Konarc S will be available in 100 km, 125 km, 161 km and 200 km versions while the Konarc Z range will initially offer 125 km and 161 km options.

Prices for the Konarc S start at Rs. 99,999 (ex-showroom) while prices for the Konarc Z have not yet been announced. The Konarc S 125 km and S 161 km versions are scheduled to reach customers in September 2026 while the S 100 km version is scheduled for Q1 2027. The S 200 km is scheduled for the third quarter of next year. Meanwhile, the Konarc Z 125 km and 161 km variants are scheduled for Q2 2027.

The Konarc utilises Ather’s new EL platform and gets a metal body built around a steel unibody chassis. Battery capacity varies across the range. The S 100 km, S 125 km and S 161 km versions get 2.1 kWh, 2.7 kWh, and 3.5 kWh battery packs respectively.

The Bengaluru-based manufacturer fits every Konarc S version with a 450 W onboard charger and a charging cable, so the scooter can connect directly to a standard wall socket. A second 450 W charger is available as an option on applicable versions – raising combined charging output to 900 W. The claimed zero to 80 per cent home charging time falls to 2 hours for the S 100 km.

It stands at 2 hours 25 minutes for the S 125 km and 3 hours 10 minutes for the S 161 km when the combined charger is available. Ather Grid can add up to 13 km in 10 minutes on the S 100 km and up to 15 km in 10 minutes on the S 125 km and S 161 km as it will aid during stops on a long ride while taking a short break in between.

The Ather Konarc also gets several interesting features which focus on simplifying low-speed maneuvers and daily parking. For instance, AirWalk lets the motor assist when the rider pushes the scooter through a parking area or a tight space by reducing the effort required to move it. The system does not take over the manoeuvre.

Keyless Entry and Auto-Lock are also part of the package while the Ather App can lock or unlock the scooter even when the phone is offline. Ather also provides solutions for situations where the key is lost or discharged while the boot gets an Auto Pop-Up feature.

The equipment list extends to dual LED headlamps, silent gear drive, reverse park assist, auto hold function, fall safe, Bluetooth call and music alerts, and a 31-litre boot. Connected functions vary by variant but high-spec versions get features such as theft and tow alerts, Find My Scooter, remote charging status, Ride Stories, OTA updates and AtherStack Pro amongst others.

The S 100 km is available in Quartz White + Blue and Majestic Grey + Black while the S 125 km and S 161 km add Celestial Gold + Blue and Lumen Copper + Black. Ather specifies a periodic service interval of once a year or 10,000 km whichever comes first. The company also offers different battery warranty packages that are subject to the applicable variant and AtherStack Pro configuration. The standard vehicle warranty stands at 3 years/30,000 km while an extended vehicle warranty of up to 5 years/60,000 km and battery warranty options extending to 10 years/1,00,000 km are also available.
