Upcoming Ather Rizta To Have The Biggest Seat Amongst All Indian Scooters
Ather’s CEO Mr Tarun Mehta compares Rizta’s seat directly alongside the seats of what we believe are the Ola S1 Pro and Activa 6G
Ather’s upcoming family scooter, the Rizta, has created a lot of buzz since it was spotted testing earlier with a very interesting wrap that featured an animated family portrait on it. Recently, Ather’s CEO, Tarun Mehta, uploaded a picture on his X handle (formerly Twitter) comparing the Rizta’s seat with those on the Ola S1 Pro and Honda Activa 6G. Mehta also claimed that the Rizta will have the biggest seat in the scooter market.
The Ather CEO shared an image comparing the Rizta’s seat side by side with a leading electric scooter, and though he didn’t mention the name, we figured out that it was the Ola S1 Pro’s seat, which is sufficiently long and pretty broad. However, the Rizta’s seat is noticeably bigger in dimensions: it is longer than the S1 Pro, with a pointed front and wider at the rear. The width of the seat, however, looks to be of similar width to the S1 Pro’s.

Just hours later, the Ather CEO shared another picture comparing the Rizta’s seat size, this time alongside a “market-leading petrol scooter’s seat”, which we figure to be the Honda Activa 6G’s. The Rizta’s seat, when placed side by side, does look longer and wider than the Activa 6G’s.
The Ather Rizta will have a boxy design similar to the TVS iQube. Apart from the spacious seat, the family scooter will come with large grab handles and a generously sized floorboard. Fitted with the same wheels as the 450X, it is likely to come with a foldable pillion footrest too. Expect it to match the Ather 450S's 2.9kWh battery and 115km range certified range, though it may also get a longer-range option later.
It is also likely to get an LCD console with smartphone connectivity and riding modes.
The Ather Rizta is likely to debut in late 2024 or early 2025 with a price tag of around Rs 1.3 lakh (ex-showroom, including FAME 2 subsidy). It will rival the likes of the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1 Pro.
The Ather Rizta was recently spotted testing, providing a glimpse of its design. Check out the Images 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 More10 9

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 6
- Worth the Price and ExperienceI 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.Read More8
