Indian electric two-wheeler maker Ather has revealed it will unveil its first production scooter built on its newly developed 'EL' platform on August 29. Expected to be priced from around 100,000 rupees, it's positioned as an affordable model aimed at families. It marks a milestone for a company that had previously focused on sporty, higher-priced models, as it makes a full-fledged entry into the mass-market price segment.

This is what I've been waiting for. Ather used to have a sporty, pricey image, but now it's pushing into an affordable family-oriented model. So, what's the under-seat storage capacity? Cargo space matters for family use too. If electric can be bought starting at 100,000 rupees, India's everyday life quietly changes. I'm fine going slow, but this one has my attention.

A family-oriented electric bike coming down into the mass-market price bracket is a big deal for India's EV shift.

My image of Ather was strictly premium, so this was surprising.

So Ather's genuinely muscling into the mass-market bracket that Ola and TVS occupy?

Competing at this price point is going to come down to value for money over brand strength.

How much does the EL platform's design actually differ from the existing one?

They built the brand on a sporty image, so will this shift toward the mass market actually work out?

Starting at 100,000 rupees is a pretty aggressive price for Ather.
