Within a month after rolling the first unit of the Rizta scooter off the assembly line at the manufacturing plant in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, Ather Energy has finally started its deliveries. A glance at the company's social media reveals that the deliveries of the family-oriented Rizta have begun in Ahmedabad, Pune, Delhi, Lucknow, Agra, Jaipur, Nagpur, and across Andhra Pradesh, with the rest of its dealer network to follow soon.

Both battery packs are IP67-certified and are mated to a mid-drive motor, which produces 5.76bhp and 22Nm of peak torque. The Rizta has a claimed top speed of the scooter 80km/h.
Ather Rizta: Charging
You even get two charging options – a 350W portable home charger and a 700W Ather Duo charger. The former charges a 2.9kWh battery pack from 0 to 80 per cent in 6 hours and 40 minutes, whereas the latter charges a 3.7kWh battery from 0 to 80 per cent in 4 hours and 30 minutes.
