Electric scooter 2025: At Ather Community Day 2025 held in Bengaluru, Ather Energy unveiled the updated version of its premium electric scooter, the 450 Apex, for the first time featuring the Infinity Cruise.

What is Infinity Cruise
Infinity Cruise is Ather's advanced cruise control system. It has been specifically developed keeping Indian traffic and roads in consideration. It offers three distinct modes: first is City Cruise, second is Hill Cruise, and third is Crawl Control. These three modes make riding the scooter easier in different conditions.
City Cruise
City Cruise helps maintain a consistent speed on city roads. It operates at speeds up to 90 kilometers per hour. The notable feature is that it doesn't deactivate if you apply the brakes or change speed; instead, it automatically adjusts to the new speed. This makes riding the scooter in city traffic even easier.
Hill Cruise
Hill Cruise assists in riding the scooter effortlessly on hilly terrain. It provides power support on inclines, while on descents, it utilizes a magic braking system. This is the same system that powers Ather's Magic Twist feature. Through this, the scooter maintains a constant speed using regenerative braking without requiring much effort.
Crawl Control
Crawl Control is useful on bad or rough roads. It allows the scooter to move smoothly even at low speeds like 10 kilometers per hour. It features multi-mode traction control, which helps the scooter maintain stability even on wet or slippery roads.
