Ather has launched its second electric scooter in its lineup, starting at Rs. 97,546 (Ex-showroom, Delhi) and going up to Rs. 1.29 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi). Ather claims their electric scooter is positioned as a family scooter due to its space and safety.
But how? Check out the five best reasons why the Ather Rizta could be your next electric scooter if you’re looking for a family electric scooter.
1) Largest Seat Ever
What do we need in an ideal family scooter? Space, practicality, and safety, right? Let’s start with space. This time, Ather has showcased a masterpiece with the Rizta electric scooter, featuring the largest seat ever.Yes, you heard it right: the largest seat ever.
In fact, the company trusts its marketing strategy so much that before the launch of Rizta, the company’s main advertisement on the internet focused solely on its large seat. Not only this but the wide pillion backrest and spacious floorboard on the Rizta make it a spacious and practical electric scooter for a family.
2) Loads of Storage
Everything is extra-large here in Rizta, but this time we’re talking about the storage space. It offers a whopping 56L of storage: 34L in the boot and an additional 22L in the Frunk.
According to Ather, you can now fit two average-sized helmets simultaneously, or one helmet along with some groceries, a small bag, a bottle, or an umbrella.
Not only this, but you can also store phones, tablets, speakers, and more. Plus, there’s a socket in the boot to charge it all. In a nutshell, these are the things we expect from our ideal scooter.
3) Safety Features
Ather claims that their electric scooter is not only practical and spacious but also offers great safety.
The safety features include SkidControl, which prevents skidding in various conditions like rain or sand. Additionally, Rizta has Tow & Theft Alerts, meaning when your Ather is parked, you’ll be notified of the slightest movement, with lights flashing to alert others nearby. Not only this but there’s also FallSafe; in case of falls, the motor shuts down automatically, ensuring you get up safely. Isn’t it great?
Some more safety features include Ping My Scooter (find your scooter wherever it’s parked), Emergency Stop Signal, Front Disc Brake, etc.
