Ather Rizta has quickly become one of India’s most talked-about electric scooters - not because it’s just another EV, but because it offers multiple choices suited to different rider needs. Unlike many scooters that have a one-size-fits-all strategy, Rizta gives you options-from affordable daily commuters to confident long-range riders with premium comfort.
In this blog, we’ll break down all four Rizta variants, explain what makes each one special, show their ex-showroom prices, and help you decide which one you should go for based on your priorities.
Understanding the Ather Rizta Line-up
The Rizta family currently includes:
-
Rizta S (2.9 kWh)
-
Rizta Z (2.9 kWh)
-
Rizta S (3.7 kWh)
-
Rizta Z (3.7 kWh)
Each of these variants combines the same core scooter platform — smart technology, usable range, and a comfortable ride — but with differences in battery size and feature level that affect price and performance.
1. Ather Rizta S (2.9 kWh) – The Everyday Urban Commuter
Ex-Showroom Price: ~₹1.09 lakh*
What It Offers
This is the base model of the Rizta family and the most accessible in terms of pricing. It uses a 2.9 kWh battery that provides a reliable urban range — ideal for daily use around town, school runs, office commutes, and regular errands.
Why It’s a Great Choice
-
Balanced range for everyday use
-
Smooth ride and predictable behavior
-
Comfortable for city riding
-
Easy charging routine
For many riders, this feel like the core Ather Rizta experience - efficient, reliable, and simple.
Who Should Choose It
Daily riders with moderate range needs
Budget-conscious EV buyers
People who want Ather technology without paying for extra range or premium features
This is a strong pick if your average commute is 20-40 km daily, and you’re not chasing long weekend rides.
2. Ather Rizta Z (2.9 kWh) – Smarter and More Refined
Ex-Showroom Price: ~₹1.25 lakh*
How It’s Different from the Base S
Once you move up to the Z variant with the same 2.9 kWh battery, the scooter starts to feel more premium. The hardware and riding range remain similar to the S version, but technology and refinement take a step up.
Key Advantages
-
Better overall feature set and display refinement
-
Enhanced digital experience
-
Slightly sharper software and connectivity feel
-
Often includes additional ride-assist elements
It’s like riding the same core scooter, but with a smarter and more polished personality.
Who Should Choose It
✅ Commuters who want a bit more tech without changing battery size
✅ People who value smoother interface and added convenience
✅ Riders who plan to use the scooter daily and often
This variant is ideal if your daily riding is similar to the 2.9 S range, but you want a more enriching and comfortable digital control experience.
3. Ather Rizta S (3.7 kWh) – Longer Range Comfort
Ex-Showroom Price: ~₹1.37 lakh*
Why the Larger Battery Matters
The Rizta S with a 3.7 kWh battery is the same solid scooter, but with extra usable range under the hood. This means less frequent charging, more flexibility for varied use, and better adaptation to slightly longer commutes or mixed urban journeys.
How It Feels
This isn’t just about numbers on paper — the larger battery gives the scooter:
-
More real-world confidence
-
Less daily battery anxiety
-
Better performance stability for longer rides
While the scooter’s handling and comfort remain similar to its smaller battery sibling, the extra range can be a noticeable lifestyle upgrade.
Who Should Choose It
✅ Riders with longer daily routes (40 – 60 km)
✅ Commuters who travel across town frequently
✅ Users who don’t want to charge every single day
This variant is ideal as a primary daily driver for riders who need more range but don’t want to spend top-end money.
4. Ather Rizta Z (3.7 kWh) – The Most Complete Package
Ex-Showroom Price: ~₹1.45 lakh*
What Makes It the Top Variant
This is the topmost trim in the Rizta lineup — combining the largest battery with the fullest feature set that Ather currently offers for this scooter range.
Here’s what stands out:
-
Best range among all Rizta variants
-
Smart connected experience with all premium features
-
Best confidence for longer city rides or occasional out-of-town runs
-
Most assured software feel and comfort level
This variant gives you the complete Ather experience without compromise.
Who Should Choose It
Riders who want the best overall EV scooter from this range
Those who prefer maximum flexibility and range confidence
People who plan mixed-purpose usage (daily commute + leisure rides)
This is the variant that makes the Rizta lineup feel truly future-proof — ideal if you want a one-scooter-fits-all solution.
Putting It All Together — Choosing the Right Rizta
Here’s a simple way to think about the choices:
Rizta S (2.9 kWh) – Best for regular city commuting, budget friendliness, and simplicity.
Rizta Z (2.9 kWh) – Best if you want smarter tech and refinement without changing battery size.
Rizta S (3.7 kWh) – Best for longer daily usage with confidence and less frequent charging.
Rizta Z (3.7 kWh) – Best overall if you want top range + full features.
Why Ather Rizta Stands Out
Across all variants, the Rizta line keeps some common strengths that many riders appreciate:
Smooth ride quality — good suspension and handling for city roads.
Smart tech — intuitive displays, connected app experiences, and riding modes.
Practical comfort — comfortable seating, usable storage, and day-to-day ease.
Expandable ecosystem — access to Ather’s growing charging network.
These are reasons the Rizta series has been gaining traction among urban riders who want more than just basic EV mobility.

Final Thoughts — Smart Choices for Real Riders
What’s great about the Ather Rizta lineup isn’t just the scooters themselves — it’s that you’re getting choices tailored to real needs:
-
You don’t have to pay for a large battery if your city commute is short.
-
You can choose a smarter tech experience without breaking your budget.
-
You can go for longest range if you need true flexibility.
-
You can pick the top fully-loaded version if you want maximum convenience and peace of mind.
Whether you’re a young rider navigating busy traffic, a family commuter, or someone upgrading to EV from petrol for the first time, there’s a Rizta variant that fits your daily rhythm.
