Deliveries for some 'S' versions are expected to commence from September 2026, while other variants and the more equipped 'Z' versions are slated for later release.
Key features of the Konarc include Ather's Advanced Electronic Braking System (AeBS) on the 'Z' variants, which enhances braking performance by up to 20 percent, and a MagicKey for convenient boot access. The scooter also integrates connected technologies such as Google Maps, WhatsApp, theft alerts, and remote charging information.
