Ather Energy is soon going to introduce its new family electric scooter Ather Konarc in the electric two-wheeler market. The company has fixed its launch date as 29 August 2026. Konarc will be launched during Ather Community Day 2026. This will be the first production model based on the company’s new EL platform.

This scooter was earlier shown as a concept with the name EL01. Now its production version has been named Konarc. The company can launch it below its existing 450 series for more mass-market customers.

Ather Konarc: New electric scooter to be launched on August 29, will come with metal body; The price can be this much

Ather Konarc will come with metal body

Ather has confirmed through the teaser that the Konarc will have metal body panels. This clearly shows the company’s focus on making the scooter strong and premium. Konarc has been designed keeping in mind the everyday use of the family.

According to reports, the scooter can get 14-inch wheels at the front and 12-inch wheels at the rear. There is a possibility of disc brake in the front and drum brake in the rear. However, full official confirmation of these features will come only at the time of launch.

What can be found in the features?

Ather has not yet released all the specifications of Konarc. Based on the available information, it is expected to have features like 7-inch TFT display, smartphone connectivity and navigation. Some reports also suggest the possibility of reverse mode, hill-hold assist and connected features related to AtherStack.

The EL platform is designed for electric two-wheelers with different battery capacities. This platform can support battery packs ranging from 2 kWh to 5 kWh. But the official information about which battery and motor the company will provide in Konarc has not been revealed yet.

How much will Ather Konarc cost?

There has been no official announcement from Ather regarding the price yet. Various auto reports have estimated its ex-showroom price to be around ₹ 90,000 to ₹ 1.25 lakh. Some current estimates place it around ₹1 lakh. The final price will be revealed at the time of launch.

If Ather launches Konarc around this price, it could compete with TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and other mass-market electric scooters. This can directly benefit those customers who want Ather brand scooter, but are looking for a lower priced option than the 450 series.

The complete picture will be clear on August 29

The biggest information about Ather Konarc right now is its battery capacity, motor output, actual range and official price. The company has not made the complete details of these figures public. These questions are expected to be answered at the launch event on August 29.

“Ather Konarc” will be launched on Ather Community Day on 29th August 2026.

What matters to buyers?

If the starting price of Konarc remains around ₹ 1 lakh and the company provides good range, connected features and metal body in it, then it can become the model to take Ather sales to a larger customer segment. However, it will be important to check the official battery, range, charging time, warranty and on-road price information before deciding on the purchase.
