The Ather Rizta was unveiled in April 2024 and was launched in June (deliveries started in the same month), and has quickly become the best-selling product in Ather’s lineup. Since deliveries ramped up in the second quarter of FY25 (July to September 2024), the scooter has helped Ather grow its market share across the country in various regions.

In April 2025 alone, the Rizta accounted for 10,052 units, which is a massive 73.57% of sales out of Ather’s 13,663 total sales figure for the month. And, according to these latest figures, the milestone was crossed in early May after 99,691 units had already been sold by the end of April. These sales figures are as per the data from SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers).
What Is The Rizta?
Ather attributes much of the Rizta’s success to its family-focused design and strong feature list. It offers a respectable 34-litre under-seat storage, a spacious seat which Ather says is the biggest of any scooter sold in India, and a large floorboard. Buyers can choose between two battery options: 2.9kWh and 3.7kWh that offer claimed ranges of up to 123km and 159km, respectively. All variants support charging via Ather’s growing fast-charging network, with over 3,600 chargers now installed across India and some neighbouring countries.
Features
It gets several features that include SkidControl (Ather’s fancy word for Traction Control), Magic Twist (Regenerative Braking), Reverse mode, AutoHold (Hill Hold Assist), Bluetooth connectivity, live location sharing, Google Maps integration, alerts for theft and towing.
BikeDekho Says
While the Rizta shares some components with Ather’s performance-focused 450 series, it targets a broader audience and has helped the company become one of the top five electric two-wheeler brands in India, as per sales data from Q4 FY25. Looking ahead, Ather is expanding production capacity and plans to introduce more updates to the Rizta through over-the-air (OTA) software upgrades. More importantly, the company is working on cheaper electric scooters which could launch by March 2026, read more about it here.

- Perfect scooty for style and comfortI 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.Read More16 13

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.Read More5 8
