Ather’s New Rizta S Variant Balances Range and Family Needs
The Ather Rizta S just got a major upgrade. A new 3.7kWh variant has been added to the lineup, with a claimed IDC range of 159km. Priced at ₹1.38 lakh (ex-showroom), this one sits between the base Rizta S and the Rizta Z, making it a sweet spot for families who want more distance per charge – without burning a hole in the pocket.
Range For Daily Life
The bigger 3.7kWh battery means fewer charging stops and more freedom for daily chores or weekend getaways. While the official IDC figure is 159km, you can expect a real-world range of about 125km depending on your riding style. For peace of mind, Ather offers a 5-year/60,000km battery warranty and an Eight70 plan that guarantees 70% battery health for up to 8 years.
Smooth Yet Peppy
The Rizta S has a 4.3kW motor with 22Nm torque and is quick in the city. It goes from 0-40 km/h in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 80 km/h. You also get two ride modes: Smart Eco for sipping power and Zip for a more spirited ride.
Everyday Practicality
Comfort and space are the focus. There’s a long, wide seat, flat floorboard and a massive 34-litre underseat storage. Need more? Add the optional 22-litre front frunk. Suspension is tuned for Indian roads with telescopic forks and monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by a 200mm front disc and 130mm rear drum with CBS.
Smart Features That Matter
The S trim skips the touchscreen for a 7-inch DeepView LCD but keeps all the essentials:
- Bluetooth for calls and music
- Turn-by-turn navigation
- AutoHold, FallSafe, Reverse mode
- Emergency Stop Signal, Tow & Theft alerts
- Alexa integration and OTA updatesIt’s simple without being complicated – just how daily riders like it.
