The Ather Rizta has achieved a significant milestone of crossing 2 lakh sales in the country since its launch in April 2024. Priced between Rs 1.15 – 1.56 lakh (ex-showroom), the scooter has played a substantial role in boosting the brand’s growth in the country. It currently accounts for over 70% of total brand sales.
Ather Rizta: What Makes It Popular?
With Rizta, Ather Energy cracked the code for what everyday Indian families truly want from an EV. Compared to the 450 series, which is a sporty scooter targeted for urban buyers, the Rizta is a more practical, comfort-oriented, family-friendly scooter. It comes with a large seat, has generously large underseat storage and offers a smoother ride, all of these without compromising on range and tech. This approach broadened Ather’s appeal and allowed the brand to reach a wider set of audience.
