Ather Rizta Z Electric Scooter Gets Multi-Language Dashboard Support; Check Details Here

Ather Energy has rolled out a new feature for the Rizta Z electric scooter, allowing its digital instrument cluster to display regional languages. This will be the first time an electric two-wheeler brand in India offers such functionality. The feature will be introduced via an over-the-air update, initially supporting Hindi, with plans to gradually add other languages such as Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. It is important to note that the new update is limited to the Z variant. 

Commenting on the occasion, Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy Limited, remarked, 'Since the beginning we have designed and built our technology and products from the ground up, keeping the needs of Indian consumers in mind. Our aim has always been to deliver quality user experiences that make our scooters more engaging. Given India's rich diversity, and the pride that people take in their regional languages, our intent was to make our scooters more user-friendly. We believe the multi-language dashboard would allow the riders to personalise their scooters in the language of their preference.'
