Rizta Brings Volumes For Ather
The major push in sales comes on the back of the new Rizta electric scooter, which accounted for 60-70 per cent of Ather’s dispatches last month. The Ather Rizta is the brand’s first family scooter and competes against mainstream offerings like the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1 range. The model has been increasingly popular in markets like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi and Rajasthan.
