Given that the Ather Rizta e-scooter will be the event's main attraction, let's look at some of its key highlights.
Ather Rizta: Main Highlights
According to industry reports, the Rizta electric scooter is expected to sport a distinctive aesthetic compared to its counterparts. It is expected to feature flat side panels without creases, a horizontal LED headlamp on the front apron, and a round tail portion. Although the motor and battery specifications are currently unknown, the e-scooter is likely to come with a larger battery pack, offering more range. The company presently offers two battery pack options for the 450 line – 2.9kWh and 3.7kWh, depending on the mode.
The upcoming Rizta is anticipated to come with a single-disc layout on both ends, telescopic front forks, LED lighting, an emergency stop signal (ESS), a large seat, and other features. In addition, it is expected to offer more under-seat storage than the Ather 450X's 22 litres of storage.
While no official announcement has been made regarding it, the new Ather electric scooter may cost around Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom, including FAME 2 subsidy). After its introduction, it will compete with a range of models, such as the TVS iQube, Hero Vida V1 Pro, Ola S1 Pro, and Bajaj Chetak.
