CompareCompare the Ather 450X and Ola S1 Pro 4 kWh on published range, top speed, power, charging time and storage before choosing an electric scooter.
The Ather 450X and Ola S1 Pro target riders who want more than a basic city runabout, but their published specifications point to different priorities. Ather emphasises a compact performance scooter and its Grid charging ecosystem, while the Ola S1 Pro 4 kWh lists a larger battery, higher certified range and higher top speed.
The figures below are taken from the manufacturers’ current online specification pages checked for this article on 11 October 2026. Model names and specifications can change, so verify your exact variant before booking.
| Specification | Ather 450X (3.5 kWh option) | Ola S1 Pro (4 kWh) |
|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 3.5 kWh | 4 kWh |
| Published IDC range | Up to 161 km | 242 km |
| Manufacturer TrueRange | Up to 130 km | Not listed as a directly comparable figure on the cited page |
| Peak power | 6.4 kW | 11 kW |
| Top speed | 90 km/h | 125 km/h |
| 0–40 km/h | 3.3 seconds | 2.7 seconds |
| Home charging, 0–80% | About 3 hr 12 min | About 4 hr 50 min |
| Boot space | 22 litres | 34 litres |
IDC values are certified figures and should not be treated as guaranteed real-world distance. Charging times are manufacturer-published and depend on the listed variant and charging conditions.
The Ola S1 Pro 4 kWh is listed with 242 km IDC range, compared with up to 161 km IDC for the 3.5 kWh Ather 450X. That is a substantial difference on paper. However, the figures come from separate manufacturer listings and do not tell the whole story about range at high speed, with a pillion, or on hilly routes.
Ather also publishes a TrueRange figure of up to 130 km for the 450X. The cited Ola page does not provide a directly comparable real-world range figure for the 4 kWh S1 Pro, so this comparison does not invent one.
Ola lists higher peak power and a 125 km/h top speed for the S1 Pro 4 kWh, making it the stronger pick on headline acceleration and speed figures. Ather’s listed 90 km/h top speed and 6.4 kW peak power may still be sufficient for many city-focused riders.
Ather’s published 0–80% home charging time is about 3 hours 12 minutes for the 3.5 kWh 450X. Ola lists about 4 hours 50 minutes for the S1 Pro 4 kWh. Ather also lists Grid charging access; check nearby stations, compatibility and real availability before treating public charging as part of your routine.
The Ola specification page lists 34 litres of boot space, versus 22 litres for the Ather 450X. That extra stated capacity may matter if you carry a bag, groceries or other items regularly. Actual usability depends on the shape of the storage area, so check it in person with the items you normally carry.
Consider the Ather 450X if the listed performance is enough for your commute, you value the Ather Grid ecosystem, and you prefer its ergonomics and interface after a test ride.
Consider the Ola S1 Pro 4 kWh if higher published range, power, top speed and boot capacity are your priorities—and the local price, service access and warranty terms work for you.
