Ather Energy's family e-scooter could be called Diesel

The Ather Diesel e-scooter will feature a sleek design with a wide and flat seat and a flat footboard.

According to a media report, Ather Energy’s upcoming family scooter is likely to be called Diesel. It will be launched by mid-2024.

Earlier, the Bangalore-based EV maker had confirmed that the company was working on a new electric scooter. CEO Tarun Mehta describes it as a “family scooter”.

Uno Minda is one of the suppliers of Ather Energy. Xabier Eskibel, Head Marketing of 2W Segment at Uno Minda said, “We at Uno Minda Ltd. are proud to be a part of Ather’s ‘Diesel’. The seat is definitely a differentiator with respect to other offerings in the market and ensures that the entire family can enjoy it together.” “It’s been challenging to build it, but the result speaks for itself. Also, the development of stylish lamps will enhance the overall appeal of the scooter. We foresee a strong demand for the family scooter and are gradually ramping up to meet the expected market needs," Eskibel said.

Spy images suggest that the Ather Diesel will feature a sleek design with a wide and flat seat and a flat footboard. It is likely to be equipped with LED lights, a touchscreen instrument console, alloy wheels and a front disc brake.
