India’s motorcycle and scooter market is massive, with more than 15 million two-wheelers sold every year. In recent years, the country has also become one of the most interesting places for electric vehicle startups, thanks to a mix of government support, rising fuel costs, and urban congestion.
Among the frontrunners is Ather Energy, a Bangalore-based company founded in 2013 that quickly became known for stylish, tech-driven electric scooters like the 450 series. While those products gave Ather a strong foothold in India’s commuter segment, its latest project—the Redux—shows a very different side of the brand.
The Redux is a concept machine Ather describes as a “moto-scooter.” At first glance, it looks like a futuristic sportbike stripped down to its essentials. The bodywork is made from AmplyTex, an experimental composite material, and the 3D-printed lattice seat hints at lightweight, unconventional construction.
