Ather Rizta: Key Highlights

Industry rumors state that the Rizta electric scooter will have a unique appearance from its competitors. It is anticipated to have a round tail section, flat side panels free of creases, and a horizontal LED headlamp mounted on the front apron. 

Even though the e-scooter's motor and battery specs are currently unknown, a bigger battery pack and a longer range are expected. Depending on the mode, the company currently offers two battery pack options for the 450 line: 2.9kWh and 3.7kWh.

It is expected that the upcoming Rizta will have an emergency stop signal (ESS), telescopic front forks, LED lighting, a big seat, and other features. It will also likely have a single-disc layout on both ends. It is also expected to provide more underseat storage than the 22-liter boot of the Ather 450X.
