In this article
Ather has entered the family scooter market with the launch of the Ather Rizta. The Rizta prioritises essential features for a comfortable and secure riding experience, making it a compelling choice for urban families. Here's a detailed breakdown of the key features that set the Rizta apart:
Longest Seat
The Ather Rizta has the longest 900mm seat length among all Indian scooters. This offers ample space for both the rider and pillion passenger. This allows for comfortable positioning and even creates space to conveniently place a bag or carry essentials between the rider and passenger during errands. The Rizta prioritises accessibility with a low seat height of 780mm, making it easier to mount and dismount.
Underseat Storage
The Rizta has a storage with a generous 34 litres of underseat storage. This can accommodate groceries, shopping bags, or backpacks. A unique liner for this underseat storage with integrated handles transforms into a convenient carrying bag, allowing effortless transportation of belongings from the scooter. The underseat storage even offers a built-in fast-charging solution, keeping devices powered up on the go. It can also charge a Macbook. For quick-access items, the Rizta features a 22-litre front organiser, perfect for storing essentials like wallets, phones, or water bottles.
Intuitive Phone Connective Integration
The Ather Rizta prioritises safety with a live location sharing feature. Riders can directly share their location with designated contacts from the scooter's interface. This eliminates the need to take out their phone and potentially compromising focus while riding. Beyond call notifications, the Rizta lets riders answer or reject calls directly from the scooter's controls. Call rejection is further enhanced with pre-set messages, allowing for a quick and quick response without needing your phone. The Ather Rizta's DeepView display offers a first-in-segment direct WhatsApp integration. This feature not only displays WhatsApp notifications but also previews the message content. But this also means that Ather will be reading your WhatsApp data.
Back Rest
The Rizta recognizes the importance of pillion comfort. The Ather Rizta has a backrest, which doubles as a grab handle. It offers additional support during sudden stops or manoeuvres. This thoughtful design allows the pillion to ride comfortably without relying solely on the rider and foot pegs for support.
Active Safety Features
Ather Rizta incorporates safety features like Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) that automatically flashes the brake light during rapid deceleration. A fall detection system with motor cutoff automatically shuts down the motor upon detecting a fall, mitigating potential further injuries. Ather introduces a first-in-scooter traction control system (TCS) for scooters, named SkidControl. This system monitors the speed of both wheels and reduces power delivery if a sudden increase in rear-wheel acceleration is detected, preventing skidding and loss of control in slippery conditions.
These are the 5 highlights of the Ather Rizta. This scooter makes for a great product with prices starting at ₹1.10lakh. There are 3 variants and the prices for the top variant go up to ₹ 1.44 lakh. It has a range of 160 km and has a decent top speed of 80 km. Do let us know which feature on this scooter you like the most.
