Cons	Feels dated already hardware should be improved Long term reliability is questionable Low ground clearance Plain jane design	The base variant is available in 3 colour options only The top-spec variant comes with a higher price tag Available with two-riding modes only and the speed is locked at 80 kmph No Warp mode is on offer which is available in Ather 450X Ather’s sales and service network is still limited in some parts of the country The Rizta holds some design resemblance with the TVS iQUBE which might not attract some customers	Limited top speed of just 82 km/h Not as quick as Ola S1 Pro, range is also lower on the Vida Slightly on the pricier side
