Design and Practicality
The design of the Ather Rizta is a great blend of traditional and modern elements. Its design features a boxy and sleek look, which makes it similar to scooters like the TVS iQube, but Ather’s own distinctive style is clearly visible in it. The scooter features a 900 mm long seat, which is the largest in the segment, providing ample comfort for both the driver and the pillion.

Whether it’s kids’ school bags or groceries, this scooter can easily carry your everyday stuff. It also has a small pocket where small items like keys or mobile phones can be kept.
The Rizta weighs 119 kg, and its wheelbase of 1,285 mm and ground clearance of 165 mm make it suitable for Indian roads. With its water-wading capacity of 400 mm, it can be ridden even in the rainy season without any hassle.

The Rizta’s suspension setup (telescopic forks at the front and monoshock at the rear) handles potholes and rough roads on Indian roads with ease. However, some reviews have stated that the braking system needs to be better with two riders. The scooter has a combi-braking system with a front disc brake and a rear drum brake, which provides stability under normal conditions.
