First impression, great scooter. Zip mode makes it all the difference, especially on uphill where smart eco, with full throttle was capped at 25km/h.
As someone who isn’t familiar with navigating to the destination without navigation, the one thing I was excited about was the Google-powered navigation which was underwhelming to say the least. At times, the direction shows turn X when the navigation route (blue line) shows Y. Luckily, I was familiar with the route at that time, so I didn’t have to rely on the navigation – it was disappointing but not discouraging when other areas of the Rizta makes up for it.
I paid for the pro pack and connectivity, but they failed to activate for me, since they didn’t mark my scooter as delivered, which took time. After few calls and raising complaint via scoial media platform, I was pleasantly surprised by the personal call from one of the escalation agent who quickly resolved the issue.
Overall, happy to be part of the Rizta family and enjoyed every bit of the Rizta.
My question is two-fold
What are all the features that is currently available? The only ones I see and have are the usual - navigation, autohold, magic twist etc… but what I am more interested are the Ping My Scooter, Tow & Theft Alerts, Whatsapp on Dash, CAll & Music Control, Auto-reply on SMS – which are the things I am lacking on my scooter. I’m on Atherstack 6. Is it available but not yet activated or is it not available on this current update version?
Is there a way to figure out what rizta trim level one has based on the VIN? I don’t see Rizta Z 3.7 anywhere on the receipt.
Tow and Theft Alerts should already be enabled. Try to move your Rizta without inserting key.
Whatsapp on dash, Call, Music Control, Auto reply on call decline is expected to be released in Aug second week. They have already released beta app (10.1.0) for Anrdroid and IOS for folks doing Beta Testing. Waiting Atherstack 6 update on bike to have these features enabled.
Other features like Ping my Scooter, Live location sharing and Alexa are expecting to be available by Sep second week
Today marks my three year anniversary with my Ather and what an experience has it been. Such beautiful scooter, fun and confidence inspiring riding and all the tech that comes with it. Not to mention the attention it gathers till date. It was the perfect day to ride the newer scooters of the family. For the family. ( sadly Apex wasn’t available)
For my brief test ride experience, I liked the Rizta. It looks better in real than in photos, you could get used to it. It is comfortable, colours are nice and stands up to the quality of Ather. The zip mode is like the Ride mode and the brakes are good. I LOVE magic twist. Really cool stuff. You might be disappointed to not to see touch but the joystick is fun to use, once you get the hang of it. It feels a little bulky to ride but doesn’t loose on the manoeuvrebility (I was not able to get it right) . I think people would be able to get used to it. Boot space is a plus and the new safety features are nice. I hope people won’t need to use them. Autohold works well. I think it would be great family scooter. I hope I get to ride it for a longer time so I can convince people to buy it and more photo ops.
Any idea how tofigure out what rizta trim level one has, don’t have home charger yet to charge up to see how many km range it gives me? Decoding VIN doesn’t tell you if it’s Z 2.9 or 3.7
I am using my Rizta since end of June and completed one month . Few issues which I’m facing 1. Squeaking sound from rear brake. This looks like after impact of magic twist as I was not using brakes at all and with monsoon the brakes have got rusted ?
2. The floor board cover has started bending / swelling / puffing etc. It doesn’t have a centre screw and maybe due to its width and monsoon water the sticky thing inside it
The scooter is not capable to climb a gradient of less than 10 degree with pavilion. total weight 120 Kgs

Scooter motor gave-off at mid of the climb in Smart Eco mode and was required to push it on Zip mode
I am charging the Rizta 2.9kw to 100% every 2 days iam charging at 40% to 100% and if its below 40% iam charging it to 100%. is it not good for battery and we can do anything with scooter blindly trusting Ather tech and reliability and their battery trust ? Thanks for repliers
Yes should climb in eco mode as well.
Today on flat road scooter was not accelerating above 30kmph throttle was fully twisted and it was evident there is some issue with software or the motor.
Also,
The Skid control symbol is showing it as off even thought it is ON in the settings.
Hello people, I have created a group for Rizta owners on telegram do join for discussions and tips among owners. 450 users should also join. Thank you.
Hi I am using Rizta 2.9 Kw since a month.
I am only getting 97 km range in Smartecho mode all the time. is everyone here getting same range?
Till now my experience is as below:
With Smartecho, i can reach upto 52-53 km/h speed. I never get a chance to go beyond it as I am running this in city.
My reversed mode switch looks damaged. I consulted with Ather showroom and they will get it replaced as soon as they have part available.
On the first 2-3 days, my key get stuck inside the vehicle and had to force it to get it out every time. but then after now it is very smooth.
Riding in Smartecho mode all the time with family 4 person (2 adult, 2 child), and never feel under power. note that I am not very much speed lover. for me it is like it works well in the city.
All the time using Magic Twist instead of break and it works well. I don’t know how much battery I gained from it as it is not showing anywhere.
In my case Ather connect is still not actived as Showroom person has still not marked the vehicle as delivered as there is some IDC is pending.
The charging time is typical 6 to 7 hours based on how much your scooter currently charged. in my case I changed scooter from 10 to 100 % and it took 8 hours.
Overnight the scooter is loosing 2% battery in ideal mode everyday.
The vehicle is very much smooth and balanced in riding. build quality is awesome .
times better
