Ather Rizta: Features Explained
- 2358 Views
Despite being a family-friendly, the Rizta is loaded with features, a lot of which you will probably end up using on a daily basis too
Ather launched the Rizta electric scooter earlier last week and it is India’s latest family-friendly electric scooter. And what we are happy about is that despite the Ather Rizta being relatively affordable (Rs 1,09,999 onwards), Ather hasn’t skimped out in terms of features. Here’s a quick summary of all the features that you get on the Rizta:
The Rizta S variant gets the same 7-inch LCD console from the Ather 450S. We already mentioned in our first ride review that it’s a brilliant console. It doesn’t feel complicated like the TFT on the higher variants but also gets all the important features like turn-by-turn navigation, hill-hold assist, reverse mode, SmartEco mode and fall safe (when the scooter falls on one side, it automatically turns the motor off). The Rizta also boasts the 'Ather SkidControl' feature, which is essentially a traction control system, making it only the second affordable scooter to get traction control after the Yamaha Aerox 155 got it earlier this year.

As for the Z variants, they get the 7-inch TFT console from the Ather 450X, but with a different layout. Additionally, the Z variants also get the ‘Magic Twist’ feature, which is basically a reverse throttle. It’ll give the rider strong regenerative braking, meaning they won’t really have to use the brakes to slow the scooter down. Again, a very nice feature to have.
So if you really want to have a fancy-looking console (and don’t mind paying for it), you might want to get the Z series. But if you’re okay with an LCD console (which in our opinion is still a fantastically designed console), we’d advise you to save up money and go for the Rizta’s base variant, which still gets all the important features.
