Ather Energy has announced a major sales milestone for its family-oriented electric scooter, the Rizta, which has now crossed the two lakh unit mark. The achievement comes just six months after the scooter reached its first lakh sales in May 2025, highlighting its rapid rise in popularity across the country.
Launched in April 2024, the Rizta has become instrumental in expanding Ather’s presence beyond its earlier southern strongholds. Newer markets have shown strong traction, aided by the addition of fresh colour options like Terracotta Red and the introduction of the Rizta S variant with a 3.7 kWh battery. These updates have helped accelerate demand, with the model now contributing more than 70 per cent of Ather’s total sales. Before this, the brand was only selling the 450, which is aimed towards enthusiasts.
