Ather Energy will unveil its new Konarc electric scooter on August 29, featuring metal body panels that are rare in the e-scooter segment. The lineup spans six variants with a range of 100-200km, a 900W combined fast-charging option that reaches 0-100% in two hours, and an expected price of roughly Rs 1-1.25 lakh ex-showroom.

The Konarc having actual metal body panels — that's the part that gets me. Pretty rare in an e-scooter market that's mostly plastic. Six grades from SR1 to QR3, and the 100-200km range spread is nice too. So, does it have underseat storage? That's what I really want to know. Going after Honda Activa-level durability in a market Bajaj Chetak dominates — I'm genuinely excited.

Curious just how good 'Activa-level durability' actually is.

Curious how much of a dent this puts in the Chetak's dominance.

Worried a metal body just means more weight.

Up to 200km range should be plenty for a daily commute.

Rs 1-1.25 lakh, that's not exactly cheap.

0-100% in 2 hours at 900W is a decent number on paper.

A metal-bodied scooter is such a wild idea, can't wait for Aug 29.
