Ather Energy has launched a new version of its Rizta S electric scooter. This new model comes with a larger 3.7 kWh battery pack and is priced at ₹1,37,047 (ex-showroom, Delhi). It offers an improved riding range of 159 km (IDC) on a single charge.
What’s New?
Earlier, the Rizta S model was only available with a smaller 2.9 kWh battery, which gave a range of 123 km (IDC). The bigger 3.7 kWh battery was only available with the Rizta Z model. But now, both Rizta S and Z come with both battery options – 2.9 kWh and 3.7 kWh.
