Ather Rizta Z Review
Overview
Ather Energy, a leader in India’s electric mobility revolution, has broadened its horizons with the Rizta Z, a scooter crafted for families and practical-minded urban riders. While previous Ather models like the 450X focused on sporty performance and tech-savvy features, the Rizta Z is all about comfort, utility, and smart everyday usability. This detailed review explores the Rizta Z’s design, technology, performance, and value, revealing why it stands out in the crowded electric scooter market.
Design and Ergonomics: Spacious, Practical, and Modern
The Ather Rizta Z departs from the sharp, athletic lines of its siblings, embracing a more substantial and approachable appearance. The scooter’s broad body panels and upright stance give it a strong presence on the road, while the design prioritizes function. The front features a wide LED headlamp with integrated daytime running lights, and the rear mirrors this with a horizontal LED taillight bar, ensuring visibility and a modern look.
One of the Rizta Z’s highlights is its exceptionally long and wide seat. With a length of 900 mm, the seat is among the most generous in its class, easily accommodating two adults or a parent and child. The seat is well-cushioned and paired with a supportive pillion backrest, making longer journeys comfortable for all. The flat floorboard offers ample legroom and space for carrying shopping bags or backpacks, a boon for daily family errands.
Storage is a major strength of the Rizta Z. The underseat compartment offers a massive 34 liters of space, easily fitting a full-face helmet and more. For those who need even more storage, Ather offers an optional 22-liter front trunk (“frunk”), bringing the total up to an impressive 56 liters—ideal for groceries, school bags, or anything a busy family might need to transport.
Performance and Battery: Smooth, Silent, and Capable
The Rizta Z is powered by a 4.3 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, delivering a peak torque of 22 Nm. This setup ensures smooth and responsive acceleration, making it easy to keep pace with city traffic. The scooter’s top speed is 80 km/h, sufficient for both urban commutes and occasional short highway stretches.
Ather offers the Rizta Z in two battery options: a 2.9 kWh pack and a larger 3.7 kWh pack. The 3.7 kWh version is especially suitable for those who need extended range for longer commutes or frequent errands.
- Range: The 3.7 kWh battery delivers a certified range of up to 160 km, with real-world usage typically providing around 125 km on a single charge. The 2.9 kWh version offers a certified range of 123 km, which is more than adequate for most daily needs.
- Charging: The larger battery can be charged from empty to 80% in about 4.5 hours with a 700W charger, reaching full charge in roughly 6 hours. The smaller battery takes about 8 hours for a full charge using the standard 350W charger.
Both battery packs are built to withstand Indian weather, with IP67 certification for water and dust resistance. Ather includes a three-year or 30,000 km warranty, with options to extend coverage for added peace of mind.
Ride Quality and Handling: Comfort First
The Rizta Z is engineered for comfort and stability. The suspension setup features telescopic forks at the front and a rear monoshock, tuned to absorb bumps and potholes common on Indian roads. The long wheelbase and wide subframe, adapted from the Ather 450 platform, provide a stable, planted ride even with a full load.
Twelve-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres ensure good grip and handling, while the combi-brake system (front disc, rear drum) delivers reliable stopping power. The upright riding posture, low seat height (780 mm), and easy-to-reach handlebars make the Rizta Z accessible to riders of all ages and heights. With 165 mm of ground clearance, the scooter handles speed bumps and rough patches with ease.
Technology and Features: Smart and User-Friendly
Ather has equipped the Rizta Z with an impressive suite of smart features:
- 7-inch TFT Touchscreen: The full-color, weather-resistant display is responsive and easy to read, providing navigation, ride statistics, and more. The interface is designed to be intuitive, even for riders new to electric scooters.
- Connectivity: Bluetooth and WiFi allow seamless integration with the Ather app, enabling features such as live tracking, ride analytics, push navigation, and over-the-air updates.
- Music and Calls: Riders can receive call and message alerts, control music, and use voice commands via Alexa Skills.
- Magic Twist Regenerative Braking: This innovative feature lets riders slow down by twisting the throttle backward, reducing brake wear and recovering energy.
- Skid Control: Ather’s traction control system helps prevent wheel slip on slippery roads, enhancing safety in wet or loose conditions.
- Auto Hold and Reverse Mode: These features make parking and maneuvering in tight spaces effortless, especially useful in crowded city environments.
- Wireless Charging: The underseat compartment includes a wireless charging pad for the Ather Halo smart helmet and can charge portable devices like smartphones.
Other thoughtful additions include auto indicator cut-off, guide-me-home lights, emergency stop signal, digital document storage, and tow notifications for added security.
Safety and Security: Confidence for Every Journey
Safety is a priority on the Rizta Z. The scooter is equipped with a combined braking system (CBS) for balanced stopping, an anti-theft alarm, and a “Find My Scooter” feature for locating your vehicle in crowded places. The side-stand motor cut-off prevents accidental acceleration, and the emergency stop signal alerts other motorists during sudden braking. Roadside assistance is included, offering peace of mind for longer journeys.
Ownership Experience: Value and Support
Ather supports Rizta Z owners with a three-year warranty on both the battery and charger, as well as regular software updates and roadside assistance. The company’s expanding network of service centers and charging stations makes it easy to maintain and charge the scooter, even in smaller cities.
The Rizta Z is available in several variants, with the 3.7 kWh model priced around ₹1.47–₹1.63 lakh (ex-showroom, depending on city). The 2.9 kWh version is more affordable, and both can be customized with single or dual-tone color options. While the Rizta Z is positioned as a premium family scooter, its extensive feature set, comfort, and practicality make it a strong value proposition.
Conclusion
The Ather Rizta Z is a thoughtfully designed electric scooter that puts families and practical commuters at the center of its mission. With its spacious seating, class-leading storage, robust safety features, and a user-friendly digital experience, it offers a compelling solution for those seeking a reliable, comfortable, and future-ready electric vehicle. The Rizta Z is not just a new addition to Ather’s lineup—it’s a new benchmark for what a family electric scooter can be in India.
