Ather will be starting the deliveries of the Rizta 3.7 kWh by July-end.
The 3.7 kWh battery pack can deliver a claimed range of up to 159 km. However, in real world, the range would be somewhere around 125 km on a single charge. It comes with Ather’s Duo 700W charger that takes 4 hours to charge from 0-80 per cent while 0-100 per cent comes up in 6 hours 10 minutes. When using Ather Grid, recharge 15 km of range in just 10 minutes. The battery pack is IP67 dust and water resistant.
Powering the electric scooter is the same electric motor that is doing duty on the 450X. It puts out 4.3 kW of peak power and a peak torque output of 22 Nm. It can accelerate from 0-40 kmph in 4.7 seconds. The electric motor is IP66 resistant.
The 3.7 kWh version also comes with Magic Twist which enables the rider to increase brake regeneration by just twisting the throttle towards the other way. Then there is Skid Control which is essentially a traction control system.
