The Ather Rizta is a family scooter, featuring a traditional scooter design with a modern touch. The company, which is backed by Indian two-wheeler giant Hero MotoCorp has jumped into the family scooter segment with the launch of the Rizta, after selling its performance-oriented Ather 450X for several years now. Rizta, which has been dubbed as the “scooter for the entire family” has been launched in two models – <keyword id="21234257" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rizta-S" source="keywords">Rizta S</keyword> and <keyword id="21234258" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rizta-Z" source="keywords">Rizta Z</keyword>. It will be available in three variants – Rizta S, Rizta Z 2.9kWh and Rizta Z 3.7kWh. “We entered the two-wheeler market with our performance scooter, the 450 series, which was recognised in the industry. Now, we are setting foot in the family segment with the Rizta, which has been designed and engineered with the Indian family in mind,” said Tarun Mehta, co-founder and chief executive officer, Ather Energy. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Ather Rizta price and variants" comment="subhead" text="Ather Rizta price and variants"><keyword id="20844878" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ather-Rizta-price" source="Orion">Ather Rizta price</keyword> and variants</cmsannotation> The Ather Rizta has been priced at ₹1,09,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) for the Rizta S, ₹1,24,999 for the Rizta Z 2.9kWh and ₹1,44,999 for the Rizta Z 3.7kWh. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Ather Rizta specifications" comment="subhead" text="Ather Rizta specifications">Ather Rizta specifications</cmsannotation> The Ather Rizta will be equipped with the company’s upcoming software, the AtherStack 6, which the company says is more user-friendly and fluid. It features an all-new design, which is aimed at giving it a more traditional look. The Ather Rizta features a large 900 mm seat, which the company claims is the largest in the segment. For comparison, the Ather 450X features a 780 mm seat. Due to the large seat, the electric scooter also gets a large boot offering 34L of storage capacity. In addition to this, users can equip a frunk at the front to gain an additional 22L storage capacity. The Ather Rizta S and the Rizta Z 2.9kWh variants are both equipped with a 2.9kWh battery pack and come with an IDC-certified range of 123 km. On the other hand, the top variant of the Rizta Z is equipped with a 3.7kWh battery pack and comes with a 160 km IDC range. Another significant change from the Ather 450X is that the Rizta offers just two driving modes – SmartEco and Zip. It also comes with a top speed of 80km per hour. The Rizta Z comes with features such as reverse mode, magic twist, coasting regen, and the new SkidControl technology, which is a traction control feature aimed at offering a better grip on the road. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Ather Halo" comment="subhead" text="Ather Halo">Ather Halo</cmsannotation> Ather Energy also launched the Halo smart helmet at the event. The Ather Halo is a premium helmet equipped with Harman Kardon speakers. It allows the rider to listen to music and answer calls, without having to take out their smartphone. If you own an Ather scooter, you can control the music and calls using the scooter itself. The Ather Halo offers a battery life of up to 1 week and comes with wireless charging support. The Ather Halo is a full-face helmet and comes with a price tag of ₹14,999. For an introductory period, it will be available for ₹12,999.

Rizta marks the company’s entry into the family scooter segment from the performance scooter segment. The Ather 450X has been one of the most popular electric scooters in the country and the company aims to imitate the success of the Rizta. The new launch offers a more traditional design, aimed at attracting customers looking for a family scooter. With this, the Rizta takes on the TVS iQube, which has been consistently performing well since its launch in the country. The TVS iQube features a traditional scooter design while offering all the benefits of an electric scooter, including things like navigation, music control and more. If you are in the market for an electric scooter and are confused about which scooter should you go for, we have you covered. In this post, we compare the new Ather Rizta with the TVS iQube to help you decide which scooter you should buy. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Ather Rizta vs TVS iQube price" comment="subhead" text="Ather Rizta vs TVS iQube price"><keyword id="21247969" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ather-Rizta-vs-TVS-iQube" source="Orion">Ather Rizta vs TVS iQube</keyword> price</cmsannotation> The Ather Rizta has been priced at ₹1,09,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) for the Rizta S, ₹1,24,999 for the Rizta Z 2.9kWh and ₹1,44,999 for the Rizta Z 3.7kWh. On the other hand, the TVS iQube is priced at ₹1,36,628 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) for the standard variant and ₹1,46,420 for the iQube S variant. Do note that you will have to separately get the Pro Pack with the Ather Rizta, which will increase the price by up to ₹20,000. The Pro Pack is essential for several features offered with the Rizta, making it an almost compulsory purchase. The Pro Pack is priced at ₹10,000 for the Rizta S, ₹18,000 for the Rizta Z 2.9kWh variant and ₹20,000 for the Rizta Z 3.7kWh variant. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design" comment="subhead" text="Design">Design</cmsannotation> In terms of design, the Ather Rizta comes with an all-new design, looking completely different from the Ather 450X. The company has claimed that the seat offered with the Rizta is the biggest in the segment. The Rizta supports several accessories, including a frunk, a backrest, a boot storage organiser and more. The scooter offers a boot space of 34L. The TVS iQube features a traditional design and is identical to the company’s ICE scooter, the TVS Jupiter. The scooter offers a large seat and a boot space of 32L. The Rizta feels more premium in terms of design when we compare it with the iQube. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> If you are buying an electric scooter, you are guaranteed to get much better performance when compared to petrol scooters. The Ather Rizta is equipped with a 4.3kW motor that delivers a peak torque of 22 Nm. It offers a top speed of 80 km per hour and can go from 0 to 40 km per hour in just 4.7 seconds. The TVS iQube S is equipped with a 4.4 kW BLDC Hub motor that delivers a peak torque of 33 Nm. The scooter offers a top speed of 78 km per hour and goes from 0 to 40 km per hour in 4.2 seconds. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Range" comment="subhead" text="Range">Range</cmsannotation> Range is one of the most important things you need to look at while going for an electric scooter. Unlike petrol scooters, you cannot just top-up your scooter in a minute, unless the scooter supports battery swapping. The Ather Rizta is claimed to offer a range of 123 km on the 2.9kWh variant and 160 km on the 3.7kWh variant. The company has said the True Range for the 2.9kWh variant is 105 km and for the 3.7kWh variant is 125 km. Both the variants of the iQube offer a range of 100 km. While Rizta’s range looks significantly higher at first look, do note that while Rizta’s range is the IDC-certified range, the iQube’s mentioned range is the real-world range and the actual certified range is 145 km. The Rizta’s true range is close to the iQube. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Battery and charging time" comment="subhead" text="Battery and charging time">Battery and charging time</cmsannotation> The Ather Rizta comes in two battery variants – 2.9kWh and 3.7kWh. The 2.9kWh variant is equipped with 350W charges and fully charges the scooter in 8 hours and 30 minutes. The 3.7kWh variant is equipped with a 700W charger and takes 6 hours and 10 minutes for a full charge. Rizta S customers can purchase the 700W charger to reduce the charging time. The TVS iQube S is equipped with a 3.4kWh battery pack and can be fully charged in 5 hours and 20 minutes using the 650W charger provided by the company.

Electric two-wheeler sales grow by 24% in February 2024, Ola Electric leads with over 40% market share

<ul><li>The Indian electric two-wheeler industry recorded its best-ever month in March 2024.</li><li>The sales of electric two-wheelers reported a growth of over 60% year-on-year.</li><li>Ola Electric recorded its highest-ever sales in March 2024 and emerged as the leader in FY24.</li></ul> The Indian electric two-wheeler industry has reported its best-ever month in terms of sales in March 2024, crossing the 1 lakh mark for the second time. This comes as the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles in India) subsidy ended at the end of the financial year. The electric two-wheeler industry recorded sales of 1,39,288 vehicles in March 2024, up from 86,358 vehicles sold in March 2023, marking over 61% year-on-year growth. In addition to companies offering year-end discounts to boost sales, this was also fuelled by the FAME subsidy scheme coming to an end in March 2024. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="EMPS replaces the FAME Scheme" comment="subhead" text="EMPS replaces the FAME Scheme">EMPS replaces the FAME Scheme</cmsannotation> The popular FAME subsidy scheme, which offered subsidies to electric vehicles to boost their adoption has come to an end. This has been replaced by the new Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024, which was announced during the<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/finance/news/interim-budget-2024-speech-updates-and-highlights/articleshow/107313296.cms"> interim budget</a> in February and is valid for four months from April 2024. The EMPS 2024 scheme, which kicked off on April 1, 2024, is valid till July 31, 2024. As part of the scheme, the subsidy on electric two-wheelers has been set at INR 5,000 per kilowatt-hour of battery capacity with a capping of INR 10,000 per vehicle. This is lower than what was earlier offered with the FAME scheme.

EV sales in India are expected to grow by 66% in 2024. According to the report, the share of electric vehicles is expected to rise from the present 2% to 29% by 2030. “The EV ecosystem is in a fairly nascent stage. As the infrastructure and consumer traction develops, we will see the entry of newer players such as Tesla and fast-growing Chinese brands like Xiaomi, which will catalyze innovation and competition in the world’s fourth-largest PV market,” said Neil Shah, research vice president, Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="India’s new EV policy to give a boost" comment="subhead" text="India’s new EV policy to give a boost">India’s new EV policy to give a boost</cmsannotation> The Indian government’s recent<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/new-ev-policy-elon-musks-tesla-may-soon-enter-india-as-import-taxes-slashed-for-electric-vehicles/articleshow/108527306.cms"> EV policy</a> is expected to boost the EV industry, making it easier for international companies to enter the market. As part of the policy, the companies will be allowed to import 8,000 completely built-up (CBU) electric cars per year at an import duty of 15% on cars costing above $35,000 (approx. ₹28.99 lakh). At present, India levies a tax of 70% to 100% on imported cars, based on their value. This means that the import duty has been reduced by up to 85% for companies under this scheme. Tesla is expected to soon enter the Indian market, with the company reportedly searching for appropriate places for its factory in the country. Vietnamese EV maker VinFast recently announced its plans to invest $2 billion in India and has started constructing its first factory in Tamil Nadu. “Government initiatives such as the PLI scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cells (ACC) and the recent reduction in import duties on EVs under $35,000 to 15% are game changers. All this not only opens doors for Tesla but also signals India’s readiness to welcome significant investments and foster a new ecosystem for EVs and their component suppliers,” said Liz Lee, associate director, Counterpoint Research.
