    Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – S1 Pro, 450X, iQube, Chetak, V1 Pro, Simple One

    Ather Rizta Vs RivalsThe new family-oriented Ather Rizta electric scooter packs up to 3.7 kWh battery promising a range of up to 160 km on a single chargeRizta marked a new direction for electric mobility solutions provider, Ather Energy. This is the first time Ather Energy has forayed into practical family-oriented scooter territory with Rizta. Like other Ather Energy offerings, Rizta promises a robust, over-engineered battery and safe ownership experience. What else does it offer? How do rivals fare? Let’s take a look.Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – Is the price justified?Except for Bajaj, all the other electric scooters quote “effective” ex-showroom prices in different cities with different region-wise subsidies. So, to keep it fair, we took real ex-showroom prices without any subsidies. There’s a reason why we took top-spec S1 Pro Gen 2, Simple One and Vida V1 Pro for this comparison.Pricing is always confusing with Ather scooters. In this sense, Ather Rizta costs between Rs. 1,35,000 and Rs. 1,62,400 (“real” ex-sh) and these prices do not include all the trendy features that Ather announced on stage. To get those features, you need an optional Pro Pack (Rs. 13,000 to Rs. 20,000) which takes Rizta’s pricing between Rs. 1,48,000 and Rs. 1,82,400 (ex-sh). However, Ather does offer something called “Price Benefit” ranging between Rs. 7,401 and Rs. 15,001.So, the quoted price without EMPS for Rizta is between Rs. 1,19,999 and Rs. 1,54,999 (with Pro Pack). Rizta is not Ather’s flagship, but top-spec Z 3.7 kWh variant with Pro Pack costs more than S1 Pro Gen 2 (ex-sh), which is Ola’s flagship offering. With Pro Pack, Rizta costs more than iQube, Chetak, Ola S1 Pro, Simple One and Vida V1 Pro.Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – DimensionsWhere powertrains and range are concerned, Rizta’s 4.3 kW peak power falls short of every other rival, except for 2024 Chetak with 4.2 kW electric motor. If we bring Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 with 11 kW peak power into the equation, Rizta is almost 3 times less powerful and has three times less torque. Powering the motor, Rizta gets either 2.9 kWh or 3.7 kWh battery options. Where battery size is concerned, nothing beats Simple One with a total of 5 kWh capacity.Performance, range and featuresAther Rizta packs a mid-mounted motor driving rear wheels with a belt drive. This setup ensures a smooth and vibe-free riding experience. Only the TVS iQube gets a rear hub motor. Top speed is limited to 80 km/h on the Rizta. This is not bad when compared to 73 km/h, 78 km/h and 80 km/h top speeds of Chetak, iQube and V1 Pro respectively. Ather’s own 450X can do 90 km/h, Simple One can do 105 km/h and Ola S1 pro Gen 2, which costs less than Rizta, can hit 120 km/h.Rizta’s base S trim lacks the TFT dashboard and lacks a larger 3.7 kWh battery pack option altogether. Even the top-spec Z trim lacks rear disc brakes and gets skinnier tyres than Ola S1 Pro. Rizta gets just two riding modes – Zip and SmartEco. Except for iQube and Chetak, other rivals offer more riding modes to ensure a balance between performance and range.Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – SpecsSpeaking of range, Rizta promises a claimed range of up to 160 km. But Simple One takes the cake here with 212 km promised range on a single charge, owing to its larger 5 kWh battery. Ola isn’t far off, with a 195 km claimed range with S1 Pro Gen 2.ConclusionRizta’s marketing elements include longest 900mm seat, optional 22L flexible frunk, pillion backrest and a flat floorboard. Rizta also has a wireless charger under its seat to charge their new Halo helmet (bought separately). If you are among the target demographic of these marketing elements, Rizta makes a lot of sense.Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – FeaturesPeople already in Ather’s ecosystem or buyers smitten by Rizta’s sleek design can go for it too. But if you are looking for VFM products, Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 still takes the crown owing to its customer-centric approach. When compared to Rizta, S1 Pro is 3 times more powerful and torquey, while costing less. There are no optional packs with Ola. So, what you see is what you get, which is always nicer. More

This practical and appealing scooter is Ather’s most affordable yet priced at Rs. 1.1 lakh (ex-sh). Bookings for Ather Rizta are open and the deliveries are set to commence in June 2024.Ather Rizta Launched Starting From Rs. 1.1 LakhAther’s strategies for navigating Indian electric mobility space have taken a new chapter with Rizta. After catering to younger audiences ever since its inception, Ather Energy is now foraying into family-oriented electric scooters where TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak have been actively gaining market share.Ather RiztaThe company’s biggest rival is Ola Electric with their slew of S1 electric scooters, Rizta has to compete to the highest level to make a name for itself. At Rs. 1.1 lakh (ex-sh), Rizta is a better proposition than other Ather electric scooters sold under 450 range. The headline Rs. 1.1 lakh is for the base S variant with 2.9 kWh battery and the top-spec Z variant will cost Rs. 1.24 lakh for 2.9 kWh battery and Rs. 1.44 lakh for 3.7 kWh battery variants (all prices ex-sh).While Rizta S gets 3 colour options, Z trim takes the total colours to 7, including 3 monotone and 4 dual tone shades. The new design language is akin to family scooters too. For starters, Ather Rizta has gone with a minimalist approach and has created a modern-looking scooter. Even though it looks slightly inspired by its arch-rival TVS iQube, the overall design and aesthetics have a certain uniqueness that stands out from other electric scooters on sale in India.[embedded content]Rear LED tail lights, the largest seat in India at 900mm long, flat floorboard, rear pillion backrest, 34L under seat storage, 22L optional flexible frunk, wireless charger for Ather Halo helmet and pillion backrest are notable elements.

    Production Of Tesla Cars For India Commenced – Supply Not From China

    Tesla Model 3Ahead of the full fledge manufacturing plans in India, Tesla has commenced production of cars for Indian market to be shipped in from GermanyIn a bid to make a name for itself in the world’s third largest automotive market, Tesla has commenced production of RHD vehicles. Unlike initial speculations suggesting shipments from China, a recent report suggests Tesla intends to ship RHD vehicles to India from its manufacturing facility in Germany.Production Of Tesla Cars For India CommencedWorld’s leading electric car maker, Tesla, is poised to enter the Indian automotive scene and establish a manufacturing presence here. Initially, there were setbacks to Tesla from Indian Government regarding the reduction in taxation for establishing a retail chain with units shipped into the country from China.After a brief pause, Tesla changed its approach towards Indian market. The growing economy and India climbing the ladder to become the world’s third-largest automotive market certainly helped in these regards. One of the nudges could be Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to USA and dialogues exchanged with Tesla founder, Elon Musk.Because India is a market for RHD vehicles, initial speculations suggested an imminent import from Tesla’s Shanghai plant. RHD Tesla cars are primarily manufactured here and are exported to all RHD markets like UK, Japan, Australia and others.File photo from 2023. Elon Musk and Narendra ModiRecent report suggests Tesla has commenced production of RHD vehicles for India in its Berlin plant in Germany. Considering the proximity between Germany and UK, there is a possibility that Berlin-made RHD Tesla cars might be sold in UK, replacing Shanghai-made units. As of now, there are no confirmations regarding which vehicles Tesla has on the cards for Indian markets.Tesla’s Berlin plant currently manufactures Model Y. Considering Indian road conditions and market perception, high-riding Tesla vehicles like Model Y could be a good fit.Company’s roadmapElectric vehicle juggernaut, Tesla, has pledged to establish manufacturing facilities in India. The company is about to finalise the location for the manufacturing facility. A team from Tesla is expected to fly into India and decide between three prospective locations – Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat.Tesla Model 3 refreshedAhead of that, Tesla is bringing vehicles manufactured in Germany to India via CBU route. These developments surfaced following the revised taxes by Indian Government on certain electric vehicles who’s manufacturers invest a minimum sum of USD 500 million and commence production within the next three years.As per the revised Indian policy, manufacturers can import up to 8,000 units into the country under the revised taxation policy at a lower tax rate. In the grand scheme of things, Tesla intends to increase its reliance on Indian providers for sourcing various components, making India a bigger sourcing hub.Source More

    Ather Rizta TVC Shoot Images Leaked – Shows Scooter Without Camouflage

    Ather Rizta TVC ShootUpcoming Ather Rizta TVC shoot images show the family-oriented scooter without camouflage soon to rival Chetak, Ola S1X+, TVS iQube and Vida V1Bengaluru based electric mobility solutions provider, Ather Energy, is prepping to launch its first-ever family-oriented scooter in India. The venue is set for Rizta and will be unveiled at Ather’s Community Day on 6th of April 2024, tomorrow. Ahead of launch, Rizta has been spotted undergoing TVC shoot, showing the bike without any camouflage.Ather Rizta TVC Shoot Images LeakedAfter serving young and enthusiastic scooter buyers with 450 range, Ather Energy has expanded its vision to cater to a much more mature audience. This vision has been materialised starting with Rizta, Ather’s first family-oriented scooter. There could be more variations of this Rizta in the future, like we have 450S, 450X and 450 Apex.Rizta is unlike Ather’s past strategies where it has tried to build a community of thrill seekers and tech enthusiasts. Further influencing an ecosystem for younger audiences. Rizta is set to launch on Ather’s Community Day scheduled on 6th April, 2024 in Bengaluru.Ahead of the official launch, Ather Rizta electric scooter has been spotted without any camouflage for the first time. Automotive enthusiast Nihar Amrute has shared the images of the upcoming Ather Rizta in our Rushlane Spylane Facebook Group. By the looks of it, Rizta seems to be out for a TVC shoot and that’s when these images were papped.Ather Rizta TVC ShootWe can see a clean and uncluttered design with a minimalistic approach. But there is a bulk associated with Rizta that we didn’t see with 450 range of athletic scooters. This bulk is owing to a larger frame that will be far more practical and accommodating than the 450 range. Large ORVMs and large dashboard are notable elements too.In that regard, we can see a large seat that Ather is marketing to the full extent and even set up a giant billboard in Mumbai. Design is iQube-ish, but has its own unique take. We can see sleek rear tail lights, a large grab handle for pillion and a pillion backrest. This backrest is less likely to be a standard fitment.Ather Community Day 2024Powertrain details are not yet out and is likely to feature the same components as 450S, owing to its expected affordable price tag. Ather is demonstrating the safety of their battery by various marketing stints including a 40-feet drop and water wading tests. Among the e-scooter manufacturers, Ather seems to be the one with the safest track record too.Componentry will not be as premium as 450 range. So, the rear disc brake is missing on Rizta and we don’t expect it to feature an aluminium chassis as well. Apart from Rizta launch, Ather’s Community Day will witness the launch of the latest AtherStack OS and a special smart accessory. More
