Ather’s strategies for navigating Indian electric mobility space have taken a new chapter with Rizta. After catering to younger audiences ever since its inception, Ather Energy is now foraying into family-oriented electric scooters where TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak have been actively gaining market share.

The company’s biggest rival is Ola Electric with their slew of S1 electric scooters, Rizta has to compete to the highest level to make a name for itself. At Rs. 1.1 lakh (ex-sh), Rizta is a better proposition than other Ather electric scooters sold under 450 range. The headline Rs. 1.1 lakh is for the base S variant and the top-spec Z variant will cost between Rs. 1.24 lakh and Rs. 1.44 lakh.

The new design language is akin to family scooters too. For starters, Ather Rizta has gone with a minimalist approach and has created a modern-looking scooter. Even though it looks slightly inspired by its arch-rival TVS iQube, the overall design and aesthetics have a certain uniqueness that stands out from other electric scooters on sale in India.

Rear LED tail lights, largest seat in India at 900mm long, flat floorboard, rear pillion backrest, 34L underseat storage, 22L optional flexible frunk, wireless charger for Ather Halo helmet are notable elements. We can see an appealing handlebar panel and front mudguard. Side body panels have minimal creases and look quite soothing.

Powertrain and hardware

The instrumentation is handled by a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment screen that we have seen with 450X and 450 Apex. Initial speculations suggested the same LCD panel as 450S, but that isn’t the case. This cluster runs on AtherStack 6 and supports smartphone integration, notifications, Google Maps, alerts and more.
