Charging time
Charging is another area with a huge difference. While the Ather 450X with Pro Pack can be charged from 0 to 100 in 5 hours and 40 minutes, the affordable Ather 450X must be charged nearly three times longer at 15 and 20 minutes.

Dashboard and smart features

Navigation and connect features
The affordable Ather 450X does not offer navigation or other features such as a mobile app, ride statistics, remote location tracking, charge monitoring or document storage. Essentially, the display now works as an odometer that shows the speed, range and other basic information.
