Ather Rizta Powertrain
The upcoming Rizta electric scooter is anticipated to be equipped with a 2.9kWh battery pack generating 5.4 kW of peak power, mirroring the specifications found in the 450S electric scooter. The brand may adjust the power output to better match the scooter's characteristics.
Verdict
The demand for electric scooters is on the rise, prompting more brands to shift their focus towards family-oriented models. Ather, known for its sporty scooters thus far, will now target the family scooter market with the launch of the Rizta. The expected price range for the Ather Rizta is between Rs 1.25 lakh to Rs 1.3 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it to compete with electric scooters like the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, and others.
