No More Battery Worries! This Electric Scooter Comes With a 1 Lakh Km Warranty
UdaipurTimes, September 03, 2026 | Automobile EV Scooter Updates: Do you know what the biggest concern is when buying an electric scooter? How long will the battery last, or will it cost lakhs of rupees if it goes bad? The new Ather Konarc has arrived in the Indian market with the answers to all these questions.
The main attraction of this model is the benefit of an extended battery warranty of 10 years or 1,00,000 km. However, one important thing is that this warranty will not be available for free with all variants. You will have to pay extra money under the specific AtherStack Pro and Extended Battery Warranty plans to avail this benefit.
Its ex-showroom price in Bengaluru starts at Rs 99,999. Based on Ather Energy's new EL platform, this scooter is designed keeping everyday use and family in mind.
How to get 10 years of battery protection?
Konarc's basic battery warranty is 3 years or 30,000 km. However, this warranty can be extended further with the AtherStack Pro.
For example: • 3 years / 30,000 km – Basic warranty • 5 years / 60,000 km – via AtherStack Pro • 8 years / 80,000 km – with additional extended warranty • 10 years / 1,00,000 km – Premium extended warranty option. The company said that an additional Rs 8,999 will be paid for the 10-year plan.
This plan will provide protection for 10 years or 1 lakh km, whichever is earlier. The company also guarantees that the battery health will be at least 70% till the end of the warranty period. The Ather Konarc S series will be available in different range models: 100 km, 125 km, 161 km and 200 km IDC range. For now, the 125 km and 161 km variants have started selling in select cities.
Benefit of halving the charging time
The Konarc has a 450W onboard charger. It also has the benefit of 'combined charging' using an additional 450W off-board charger. As a result, charging time at home will be greatly reduced. Some variants may take about 2 hours to 3 hours and 10 minutes to charge from 0 to 80%. Not only the range or warranty, but it also has many features for everyday use. Such as: • Strong metal body • Steel unibody chassis • 14-inch alloy wheels • Long-travel suspension • 31 liters of under-seat storage • Advanced Electronic Braking System (AeBS) • Features like reverse and Airwalk • Large display and navigation in some variants • USB-C charging port • 10,000 km or one year service interval.
Will the fear of batteries reduce this time?
Many hesitate to buy electric scooters, because the cost of replacing the battery is very high. Ather has brought a long-term warranty plan to reduce this fear. For those who commute a lot every day or want to use a scooter for many years, this extended warranty plan is very useful. In a nutshell, starting at a price of less than 1 lakh taka, range options of 100-200 km, a sturdy metal body and a warranty of 10 years/1 lakh km make the Ather Konarc one of the best options in the market. However, there is one thing that customers must keep in mind before buying: the 10-year warranty is not part of the basic plan, it is an optional plan that has to be purchased for an additional fee,
