Ather Energy has officially launched the Ather Rizta Z in Nepal, priced at Rs. 3.83 Lakhs. Designed as a family-oriented electric scooter, the Rizta marks a significant departure from Ather’s performance-focused scooters like the 450X. Aimed at offering affordability without compromising on features, the Rizta comes with a 3.7 kWh battery that promises up to 125 km of true range. This new offering looks set to make waves in the growing Nepali EV market.
Battery, Performance, and Charging
The Ather Rizta Z is powered by a 4.3 kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), delivering a peak power of 5.8 PS and a torque of 22 Nm. It comes equipped with a 3.7 kWh Lithium-Ion (LFP) battery that provides a claimed 159 km range (IDC), and a real-world true range of about 125 km.
Charging the Rizta Z is handled by the Ather Duo 700W Charger, which charges the scooter 0-80% in 4.5 hours and 0-100% in 5.75 hours. It also supports DC fast charging, where 20%-80% SOC can be reached in just 40 minutes.
Features and Interior Experience
The Ather Rizta Z comes with a 7-inch color TFT touchscreen that supports features like Google Maps, Ride Stats, Live Location Sharing, and more. It also integrates smart features such as OTA updates and Ather Connect for enhanced connectivity. The scooter has a long 900 mm seat, making it the longest in the segment, offering extra comfort for both the rider and pillion.
It also features 34-liter under-seat storage and a 22-liter front compartment. For added comfort, the Rizta Z is equipped with dual-tone upholstery and ergonomically designed controls.
Safety Ratings and Systems
Safety is a priority for the Ather Rizta Z, with features like 4 airbags (in the Premium variant), combined braking system, and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Other notable safety features include Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Hill Assist, and rear parking sensors.
Design and Color Options
The Ather Rizta Z adopts a rounded, approachable design, different from the sharp, edgy look of Ather’s previous models. It features a horizontal headlight cluster with integrated DRLs, giving it a modern yet friendly look.
The scooter also comes with subtle SUV-inspired touches, including a raised ground clearance of 165 mm. It is available in Pangong Blue, Deccan Grey, Alphonso Yellow, Cardamom Green, and Siachen White.
