The Indian electric two-wheeler market is growing rapidly, and Ather Energy continues to make its mark with innovative and performance-oriented EVs. After the success of its premium electric scooters, the brand has now introduced the Ather Rizta, designed as a family-oriented and practical e-scooter. Combining smart technology, modern design, and dependable performance, the Ather Rizta aims to redefine urban commuting for everyday riders.
Practical Design and Comfort
Unlike Ather’s earlier sporty models, the Rizta is built around comfort and practicality. It features a larger, spacious seat that ensures both rider and pillion have a comfortable experience. The scooter’s design is sleek yet functional, with a flat floorboard and ample under-seat storage, making it ideal for city families and professionals who need convenience on a daily basis.
The riding ergonomics are upright and relaxed, which makes it suitable for longer rides as well as short city commutes. Ather has also emphasized build quality, with premium fit and finish across all panels.
Performance and Range
The Ather Rizta is powered by a reliable electric motor paired with advanced lithium-ion battery technology. Depending on the variant, the scooter offers a range between 120 km to 150 km on a single charge. With quick acceleration and smooth handling, it provides a confident ride in city traffic.
The Rizta also supports fast charging, reducing downtime for riders who need a quick recharge. For everyday use, the scooter can be conveniently charged at home using a standard socket, or at Ather Grid fast-charging stations spread across major cities.
Smart Features and Connectivity
Ather has always been at the forefront of technology in the EV segment, and the Rizta is no exception. It comes with a large digital display that provides real-time ride data, battery status, and navigation. With smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth, riders can access call and message alerts directly on the dashboard.
The integrated navigation system ensures hassle-free commuting, while features like riding modes (Eco, Ride, and Sport) allow users to customize performance based on their needs. OTA (Over-the-Air) updates also ensure that the scooter remains up to date with the latest software enhancements.
Safety and Reliability
The Rizta is equipped with disc brakes and a Combined Braking System (CBS) to provide effective stopping power. Wider tyres and a well-balanced chassis ensure stability on different road conditions. Ather has also focused on rider safety with features such as regenerative braking, which not only enhances control but also improves battery efficiency.
Variants and Price
The Ather Rizta is available in multiple variants, offering riders flexibility in terms of battery capacity, range, and features. The price starts at around ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to ₹1.45 lakh for the higher-end models with extended range and advanced features. With subsidies available under FAME-II and state-level EV policies, the on-road price may be even more attractive for buyers.
Conclusion
The Ather Rizta is a well-rounded electric scooter that blends practicality with innovation. It caters to families and urban commuters who value space, comfort, and smart features along with eco-friendly mobility. With its premium build quality, impressive range, and modern technology, the Rizta strengthens Ather’s position in the Indian EV market and provides customers with a reliable alternative to traditional petrol scooters.
