What is the price of the Ather Energy Rizta?

The Rizta costs between ₹1,20,705 and ₹1,57,922 ex-showroom Delhi across 8 variants, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance and varies by state.

What is the on-road price of the Rizta in Delhi?

Roughly ₹1.27 Lakh for the base variant in Delhi: ₹1,20,705 ex-showroom plus no road tax (electric two-wheelers are exempt in Delhi), ₹1,100 registration and about ₹5,443 insurance. This is an estimate; dealer quotes include handling and accessories.

What is the real range of the Rizta?

The certified range is 123 km. In everyday riding expect 111–123 km depending on mode, speed and load.

How much does the Rizta cost to run per month?

Charging works out to about ₹0.20 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹160 a month before servicing.

What is the EMI for the Rizta?

With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹3,830 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.

How long does the Rizta take to charge?

About 8.3 hours for a full charge from a home socket, with fast charging available for quicker top-ups.

Is the Rizta suitable for short riders?

Yes. Seat height is 780 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.

Rizta or IQube: which is better?

The IQube is ₹1,455 less expensive to start and less efficient at 114 km against 123 km. Pick the Rizta for family daily use, the IQube for short daily commutes. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.

Which bikes are cheaper than the Rizta?

Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed, the S1 Pro (Gen 3) (₹1.15 Lakh), the Chetak 35 Series (₹1.2 Lakh), the IQube (₹1.19 Lakh) start lower.

Is the Rizta comfortable for a shorter rider at 5'2"?

The 780mm seat height and 125kg kerb weight should suit most riders comfortably, though very short riders may want to sit on one at a dealership before buying, since flat-footing depends on the seat's actual width too.

Can the Rizta take a pillion on longer weekend rides?

It is built with two-up family use in mind and the monoshock rear should manage light pillion loads fine on short trips, but the 80kmph top speed and drum rear brake mean it is better suited to town rides than long highway stretches with a passenger.

In short

The Rizta is Ather's family-focused scooter, priced from ₹1.2 lakh with a 2.9 kWh battery good for a claimed 123km, matched closely by the 111-123km reported in real-world riding.

80kmph top speed rules out any highway stretch

Price and variants

Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.

Ex-showroom Delhi, the Rizta range runs from ₹1,20,705 (S - 2.9 kwh - Mono) to ₹1,57,922 (Z - 3.5 kwh - Mono) across 8 variants.

That makes it priced 13th lowest among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Activa electric (₹572 less) and the Chetak 35 Series (₹705 less).

On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.27 Lakh for the base variant once registration and five-year insurance are added (Delhi waives road tax on electric two-wheelers). Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.

Variant	Ex-showroom	Rough EMI
S - 2.9 kwh - Mono	₹1,20,705	₹3,830/mo
S - 2.9 kwh - Super Matte	₹1,22,105	₹3,870/mo
Z - 2.9 kwh - Mono	₹1,37,635	₹4,360/mo

Range and charging

Expect 111–123 km from the Rizta in everyday use against a certified IDC range of 123 km. The 5% gap is smaller than most rivals manage.

Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed it ranks 13th for range, 24 km below the group average of 147 km.

Running cost per month and five-year ownership estimate

Motor and ride

The Rizta's 4.3 kW motor is the 14rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 80 km/h, which limits it to city use.

A full charge from a home socket takes about 8.3 hours, and it supports fast charging for a quicker top-up on the road. The battery is fixed, so you need a plug where the scooter parks.

Chassis hardware includes a rear monoshock and a combi-brake system, with a disc, 200 mm up front and drum, 130 mm at the rear.

Seat height is a low 780 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.

Our review

Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.

Verdict

The Rizta is Ather's case for the electric scooter as a family appliance rather than a gadget. It is priced sensibly from ₹1.2 lakh, backs its 123km claimed range with real-world figures that are not far off, and loads in comfort features like keyless start and cruise control that matter more on a school-run scooter than raw speed does.

Riding it every day

The front disc brake with CBS gives more confident stopping than Ather's cheaper Konarc, even if the rear drum is a reminder of where costs were trimmed. At 125kg it feels planted over speed breakers, and the 780mm seat height should work for most riders without tiptoeing at junctions. Monsoon riding should be manageable thanks to tubeless tyres and the front disc, though the 80kmph cap means it never feels rushed, or particularly quick either.

What to know before buying

Real-world range in the 111-123km band lines up well with Ather's claim, so daily-use estimates should hold up better than on scooters with a bigger gap between brochure and street numbers. The 3-year, 30,000km battery warranty is noticeably shorter than the Konarc's decade-long cover, worth factoring into long-term cost if battery replacement is a concern. The nine colour choices, including Duo dual-tones, are aimed squarely at family buyers who want a scooter that does not look like a fleet vehicle.

Who should buy it

Families needing one dependable scooter for school runs, groceries and short commutes will find the Rizta hits its brief well. Riders chasing higher top speed, a rear disc brake, or the longest possible battery warranty should look at the 450S or wait to compare against the Konarc.

On safety kit the Rizta has combi-brake (cbs), front disc brake, tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. There is no ABS, which is legal at this engine size but worth knowing before a wet-weather ride.

Against IQube, Konarc or Chetak 35 Series, it gets front disc brake, rear monoshock, keyless start and cruise control that most rivals skip.

It is offered in 9 colours: Deccan Grey, Siachen White, Terracotta Red, Pangong Blue, Terracotta Red Duo, Deccan Grey Duo, Alphonso Yellow Duo, Cardomom Green Duo and Pangong Blue Duo. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 3 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 3 years or 30,000 km; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.

Service reach is the weak point: Ather Energy has about 300 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.

The Rizta launched in 2024, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
