Ather Rizta E-Scooter
Rizta e-scooter’s debut remains the biggest highlight at the Community Day 2024 event. The family e-scoter has finally marked its debut with its positioning below the Ather 450 lineup. The new Ather e-scooter flaunts a rather curvy form factor unlike the sleek and aggressive attire offered by the 450 lineup.
The single-piece seat is segment’s biggest to offer a comfortable riding experience, while the modern take is handled by a wraparound LED tail lamp, a 7-inch digital instrument console, black-ORVMs, and a backrest+ grab rail for the pillions. Rizta’s luggage storing capacity is the biggest takeaway.
This e-scooter offers 22L frunk space and 34 l under storage capacity. Collectively, it can carry up to 56 liters of goods. The entire frame sits on 12-inch alloy wheels both upfront and rear.
