                  Because it is EV and I need it for local use, better for daily commute like local market and school. For my daughter's daily school and coaching commuting. Of course, pollution free ride and contribution in environment saving. It is full of satisfaction and exciting. Good boot space to carry daily usages things like helmet and some small items. Ride quality is smooth and stable and breaking is also good. Need to work on range. Yes, The reason is clean design and style. Honda's provides less range so expecting some better range in coming days. Need to improve on battery warranty. There should be at lifetime warranty. Overall its is good in its price range.

                  Ather's upcoming future scooter makes scooters kee
                  My friend has bought this scooter and I have also ridden it. It has very good ride quality and gives very good range. Even 2 people can sit comfortably. It gives good range. The seat is also very comfortable. I would recommend everyone to buy it because it is the best. It is the best in mileage. It drives on the road and highway as if you are sitting in a car. The suspension is very good. Even on rough roads, there is no problem as its suspension is very firm and soft, so there are no jolts at all. I like it. Actually, this scooter is good for everyone from small children to adults. It does not cause any jolts at all and runs very smoothly. Whom not to buy is not a word in my dictionary because this scooter is made for everyone. I will recommend it to everyone.

                  Perfect scooty for style and comfort
                  I was about to purchase Cng bike because of daily use and mileage but when I saw and ad about rizta. I was excited and then I calculated that I can ride 126 Km for just 30 Rs charging that was the moment I changed my mind for ather. Still while buying I was so confused that did I do the write thing as we normal people do. But when started riding the experience which I felt can't express in words this was the first time. I was using a ev. So much silent, And the pickup was superb, Also it has comfort but IDC range which was given that came down slowly now it has been more than 2 years I get 90 Km range. Rest is good. If ather improves battery again this will be the best in the market. Because there is no one who can be on the top in market if thing improve. What I like is stylish in look. Super affordable in terms of money which means I can ride 100Km in just charging of 30 Rupees. Comfortable for both rider and the person sitting behind. Also pickup is superb.

                  I was searching for a useful family scooter that would be comfortable to ride and have a decent mileage because of it dependability. The Ather 450X was frequently mentioned in discussion with my friends. It was the best option for me. The best thing is how easy it is to ride. My younger brother also rides it and finds it easy. It starts fast no delay. I charge it overnight and it is ready next morning. Once I forgot to charge but eco mode helped save battery. Yes I fully recommend it. Perfect for local travel, smooth roads and daily use. It is quiet, light and does not pollute. And it saves a lot of money. No petrol, no oil change. Just clean and ride. I feel smart using it.

                  Worth the Price and Experience
                  I chose Ather Riztabecause my old petrol scooter was getting costly. Every month I spent lot on fuel. I wanted something smart and simple. When I saw Ather Rizta I liked the look and comfort. So I booked it without much thinking. The ride is soft and quiet. One time I forgot it was even on because there is no engine sound. It is perfect for my short trips. I charge it at night and it lasts for 2–3 days. No heat, no noise, no tension. Very smooth on speed breakers too. Yes go for it. If you care about the environment and want to save fuel cost this scooter is best. It looks modern and feels just like the old scooter but electric. I love riding it daily and feel proud I made the switch.
