Ather Energy has recently introduced a new sportier variant of the 450X e-scooter in the country. The company is also readying an all-new family e-scooter, called the Ather Rizta that has been teased a couple of times. In fact, the Rizta electric scooter has been caught testing multiple times on the Indian roads.
The new Ather Rizta teaser reveals the overall silhouette, which appears more comfortable. This family-oriented electric scooter will target the TVS iQube, while the Ather 450 is positioned as a sporty e-scooter competing with the Ola S1. The electric scooter has a flat and roomy floorboard.
The Ather Rizta is likely to be equipped with 12-inch wheels a both ends. In fact, Ather Energy’s co-founder and CEO, Tarun Mehta has released a picture of the Rizta’s seat next to the Ola S1 seat. It is clearly visible that the Rizta has the exceptionally long seat, which is claimed to be more comfortable than the competition. The seat has a slight step up for the pillion, and appears significantly bigger and wider. However, it gets narrower for the rider to make it accessible for average Indian buyers.
Ather claims that it will be taking a big leap forward in comfort and safety with the Rizta electric scooter. The electric scooter will come with a mid-mounted motor and not with a hub mounted motor available in the iQube. The e-scooter has a horizontal bar-type headlight and tail-lamp, a big grab handle for pillion and simpler rear view mirrors.
The electric scooter is likely to be fitted with a 3.7kWh battery pack, which is offered on the 450X. It is likely to offer a range of over 100km on a single charge.
