Ather Rizta has been priced almost same as Ather 450S, and to me it will make 450S less attractive to any potential buyer.
RiztaS gives more range than 450s, has more boot space and is in general more feature laden properly.
Does it mean 450S will be discontinued soon? Is there any significant feature difference between the two?
Also I appreciate that they have removed ride mode and kept only 2modes now. Smart eco and Zip (sports?) since smart eco is able to achieve the speed that you get in ride mode. I too have used only 2 modes -Smart eco and sports. Ride never made any sense to me since you achieve 65kph at smart eco and ride too gives you the same.
The above list may increase when people get the delivery.
The benefits what I see getting Rizta are,
Big enough for a family with a kid - the main selling point
Anti skid
Mobile phone charger on the boot
Less dirt splash on the rear side.
I have my doubts on the mono suspension. Ather 450 has a very stiff suspension and distance between wheel and mudgard is huge, whereas for Rizta it’s minimal. Did they make the suspension more stiff?
The Ather website’s Rizta page shows that you will be able to send a location from WhatsApp to you scooter. I suppose this feature will be brought with the new Ather stack for all users?
most probably its throttle input would be way laggy like OLA compared to 450 as its not focused as being sporty scooter,450 eco mode has good power in that too until 35kmph
