Overview
The Ather Rizta is Ather Energy’s first family-oriented electric scooter, designed with a strong focus on comfort, space, safety, and everyday usability. Unlike the sporty Ather 450 series, the Rizta targets households and daily commuters who want a practical alternative to petrol scooters.
With a large 34L under-seat boot, a comfortable long seat, a wide floorboard, and a top speed of 80 km/h, the Rizta is built for city use and family rides. It offers up to 159 km IDC range (with the larger battery), making it suitable for regular commuting without range anxiety.
The scooter is available in two main variants—Rizta S and Rizta Z—with 2.9 kWh and 3.7 kWh battery options.
