Ather Energy Unveils EL Platform, AtherStack 7.0, and Futuristic Redux Concept at Community Day 2025

Ather Energy has set the tone for its next chapter in India’s EV journey with a host of major announcements at Community Day 2025. From unveiling the all-new EL platform to introducing AtherStack 7.0, a futuristic Redux moto-scooter concept, and a 6kW fast charger, the event highlighted the brand’s ambition to push beyond conventional electric scooters.

The AtherStack 7.0 software update brings advanced features tailored to Indian roads and riders. Voice interactions tuned for Indian dialects, Crash Alerts and Pothole Alerts enhance safety, while ParkSafe and LockSafe add security layers. The Infinite Cruise system evolves further with CityCruise for traffic, Hill Control for gradients, and Crawl Control for tight maneuvers.

The most important hardware announcements was  the EL platform, a next-generation architecture built on a unibody steel chassis. It promises 15% faster production, longer 10,000 km service intervals, and modular battery options ranging from 2kWh to 5kWh.

A swingarm-mounted motor, AEBS braking, and a Charge Drive Controller free up boot space while improving efficiency. Manufacturing will begin at Ather’s upcoming Aurangabad facility, with the first EL-based scooter expected by the 2025 festive season.

Showcasing its versatility, Ather revealed the EL01 concept, a family-oriented scooter offering spacious under-seat storage, 14-inch wheels, LED lighting, and an integrated charging cable. Pushing boundaries further, the Redux conceptpreviewed a radical “moto-scooter” with adaptive ride dynamics, adjustable ergonomics, Morph-UI, and a unique ‘Take Off’ mode for powerful launches — a glimpse of Ather’s futuristic ambitions.

Adding to convenience, Ather also introduced a 6kW fast charger that delivers 30 km of range in just 10 minutes, with select units featuring built-in tyre inflators. Meanwhile, the popular Rizta Z received an upgrade with a new touchscreen interface, refreshed UI, Eco Mode, and a striking Terracotta Red paint option.

With the EL platform laying the foundation for scalable products, EL01 proving everyday practicality, and Redux showcasing a vision of the future, Ather has underlined its role as one of India’s most innovative EV makers, blending usability with bold experimentation.
