INTRODUCTION

Ather Energy, an EV manufacturer based in Bengaluru, has recently introduced its highly anticipated electric scooter, the Rizta, with a starting price of Rs 1.10 lakh, ex-showroom. The Rizta will be available in three variants, namely Rizta S and Rizta Z, both equipped with a 2.9 kWh battery and the top-end model Rizta Z, which comes with a 3.7 kWh battery.

DESIGN AND COLOUR

The scooter’s family design is further enhanced by the range of colour options available, which includes a total of 7 colours. These colours are divided into 3 monotone shades and 4 dual-tone shades, providing customers with a variety of choices to suit their personal preferences.
