Ather 450 series likely to get cruise control update soon. Check details
Ather is poised to introduce cruise control to its 450 series. This development is expected to be announced at the company's 2025 Community Day, scheduled for August 30, 2025. While a new entry-level model is also anticipated, the event is also expected to feature updates for the manufacturer's existing models.
Although details on these updates are currently unconfirmed, industry sources suggest that a key new feature will be the integration of cruise control into the 450 series. The current 450 series comprises the 450s, 450X, and 450 Apex.

The current 450 series comprises the 450s, 450X, and 450 Apex. It is projected that cruise control will be implemented on the 450X and 450 Apex, with an over-the-air (OTA) update made available to current owners. This update, however, may be limited to vehicles equipped with the Atherstack Pro software.
This feature is not new to the Indian electric scooter market. In June 2022, Ola Electric added cruise control to its S1 range via the Ola Move OS 2.0 update, later enhancing the functionality with Move OS 4.0.
