Ather Energy’s upcoming electric scooter Konarc has been spotted testing once again. It is based on the all-new EL01 platform and the latest spy shots reveal some important new details before its official launch on August 29, 2026.
Although the test mule is still heavily camouflaged, a few interesting details are now visible. The Konarc appears to take inspiration from Ather’s EL01 concept, with a handlebar-mounted headlamp and a large LED DRL placed on the front apron, giving it a different identity compared to the Ather Rizta. The side panels look clean and simple, while the rear gets a slim LED tail lamp. There’s also a sturdy grab rail that doubles up as a small backrest for the pillion.

The scooter also looks quite practical for everyday usage as there is a small storage bin visible on the apron for keeping essentials like a phone or wallet. Other than this, even the pillion seat appears to be quite spacious for comfortable rides.
The underpinnings reveal a 14-inch front wheel and a 12-inch rear wheel setup. Braking duties are handled by a front disc and a rear drum brake. The Konarc also uses a swingarm-mounted motor, which is expected to be based on the Ather 450’s unit but tuned for a smoother and more relaxed riding experience. Battery pack options are likely to range between 2kWh and 5kWh. The fully digital instrument console is also visible and is expected to be a TFT unit with Bluetooth connectivity and AtherStack 7 OS.

The Konarc will be one of the first scooters based on Ather’s new EL platform and is expected to be priced between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will take on rivals such as the Bajaj Chetak C2501, TVS Orbiter and Hero Vida VX2.
