The e-scooters are based on a hybrid chassis and are finished in dual-tone bodywork with green accents. They come equipped with a 7.0-inch touchscreen instrument panel, LED lights and Parking Assist with a reverse mode.

The e-scooters are powered by a Brushless DC electric motor (BLDC). The Ather 340 has an output of 6 BHP and 20 Nm and comes with a 1.92 kWh lithium-ion battery, while the 450 variant makes 7.2 BHP and 20.5 Nm and derives its power from a 2.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. The maximum range of the two scooters is claimed to be 86 km and 107 km respectively. 

The braking setup consists of a 200 mm disc brake at the front and a 190 mm disc brake at the rear. The scooters also get a combined braking system and regenerative braking.
