Ather Rizta design Issues

Yesterday, my charger fan stopped running, and this morning, after finishing charging, the charger became super hot. I thought the scooter had an issue and was worried about the battery and any voltage or power issues. This morning, I went to the Service Center (SC) and explained what had happened. They checked and replaced the charger with a new 375W model, replacing the previous 350W charger they told.

The charger cable was low quality and that the plastic was not good, making noise. Has anyone else had this situation and replaced their charger with a better one?

Quick check for other Rizta Z owners:

Is your network bar showing accurate signal strength? Mine seems stuck showing either “Full” or “1 Bar” with nothing in between. It even shows 1 bar in areas where I know there is zero network.

It feels like a software bug since it doesn’t update accurately anymore. Is anyone else facing this, or is it just my unit?

Same here with 450 Apex! It’s either full or 1 Bar and most of the time it is 1 Bar and I don’t get automatic OTA updates at all.

For me the 1 bar represents no network. If it is same in your case then yeah that makes sense for you not getting ota updates in 1 bar.

While a single bar is enough to slowly load map locations, it’s a night-and-day difference compared to the speed of a full signal. The real issue is that OTA updates are over 700MB; the weak connection just can’t handle those large cloud downloads. I’m forced to visit the Service Center for every update, which is getting really frustrating.

For me the updates download while I ride as I keep my vehicle in the basement where there is no network although due to wrong representation of signals the dashboard always show 1 bar and while riding when I get network it shows full bar.

I remember in earlier version of Stack 6 this was accurate and used to show correct network information.

Also as you point out that the map download when there is 1 bar on your vehicle that means for weak network your vehicle is showing 1 bar but for me it shows one bar for no network and full bars otherwise.

Has anyone noticed that the remote shutdown option has been removed from the app for Ritza, and is anyone checking on this?

Hi everyone,

I’m approaching 5,000 km on my Ather Rizta (2.8 kW) and wanted a quick guide for the first service.

Could someone please help with the following:

What are the basic checks done during the first service?

Are there any specific things I should ask them to inspect (brakes, suspension, software updates, etc.)?

Is the first service paid or free? If paid, what are the usual charges?

Any tips or suggestions to improve the overall riding or ownership experience after the service?

Looking forward to hearing from fellow Rizta owners. Thanks in advance! :blush:

All Ather scooters need dark mode. Could we post on Twitter to request more range and dark mode, tagging Tarun and the team? Let’s start.

Today, my 1-year-old Ather Rizta bike lock set was replaced under warranty by the service center. Yesterday, the lock set stopped working, and I had to tow the vehicle to the service center. Within just one year, the lock set became faulty, which is painful and disturbing for consumers after paying such a high amount.

For comparison, my Activa has been at home for 30 years, and its lock set has never failed. Ather should enable bike start and stop functionality through the mobile app in case of emergencies like a lock set failure. My half day was wasted, and I had to pay extra for towing. (Last year RSA is expired ) which adds unnecessary burden just to get the bike back into running condition.

There is no remote shutdown feature in my app

Yes, I forgot my key on the 6th floor and no one is in home. Also no lift, so I went back and got the key by steps; it took around 15 minutes, which was a waste of time and energy. If mobile operation was available, it would be a game changer on that day, I accept that this feature must be implemented along with dark mode, remote unlock is my top priority now. My priority includes dark mode remote unlocking, locking, starting, and stopping the scooter

The remote shutdown option is only available when vehicle is not connected to a charger.

ngl when they first announced this feature I thought it would be like a kill switch until unlocked by app again huge wasted potential imo

You are talking about lock safe that feature is still not available. It would be available in future Ather Stack 7 updates I guess.

Shutdown is for the use case that if your vehicle is at home and you left out of station and forgot to put your vehicle in shutdown mode. You can do it remotely this will ensure that there would be no impact on the battery when not used for long time.
