Ather Rizta S 2.9 kWh
The Rizta S is the affordable way into Ather's family-first Rizta — the same practical big-seat, big-boot package as the Z, but with a smaller 2.9 kWh battery and a slower home charger. Best for city families who want Rizta space at the lowest price and can charge overnight; riders who need more range should step up to the Z.
