Ather Rizta Family-Oriented Electric Scooter Seen Before Its Debut
The Ather Rizta electric scooter has been spotted in the open, providing a close-up view of its features and design ahead of its formal release. The Rizta, which will be on sale on April 6, is the second model line by Ather following the 450 series. It is aimed at families who are looking for a roomy and comfortable vehicle. The most recent pictures show a bigger build than the streamlined 450 versions, highlighting more space on the footboard and a noticeably longer seat, indicating an emphasis on passenger convenience and rider comfort.
Market Positioning and Price
Set to be priced between Rs. 1.25 – 1.45 lakh (Ex-showroom), the Ather Rizta is poised to compete directly with the TVS iQube scooters upon its launch. This pricing strategy places the Rizta within a competitive segment, offering a blend of innovative features, practical enhancements, and a distinctive design that appeals to a broad range of consumers seeking a reliable electric scooter for everyday use.
Range and Speed
The Ather Rizta departs from the sporty look of the 450 series, adopting a more rounded and softer design, similar to the TVS iQube. It’s expected to have a lower peak power output than the 450X, possibly omitting the ‘Warp’ ride mode, which may affect its top speed and acceleration.
Features
Key features of the Ather Rizta include:
✅ Potential dual-tone paint options
✅ Large seat with integrated pillion grab handle
✅ 7.0-inch touchscreen digital dashboard, akin to the 450X
✅ Increased under-seat storage for added practicality
Battery Capacity
The Rizta will utilize the same battery pack as the 450 series, with capacities of either 2.9kWh or 3.7kWh. The exact capacity for the Rizta remains unannounced. This shared battery technology is part of Ather’s strategy to maintain consistency across its scooter lineup.
