Got home my Ather Rizta: My second EV after Tata Nexon EV Prime

Hill hold is amazing and have never experienced such feature in a two wheeler.

BHPian diablo29 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I have taken delivery of my second EV - Ather Rizta last week in Pune. The other EV being Nexon Prime. Lets see how Rizta goes, initial impressions are good and very much impressed with the following:

  1. Magic twist - this is a manual regen which can be used to brake, its very effective and can be pulsated to.
  2. Hill hold is amazing and have never experienced such feature in a two wheeler.
  3. Skid control if a boon to basement parking where the ramps are bit slipper especially in monsoon.
  4. Under seat storage is massive.
  5. Seats are huge and easily sit two 6 feet tall adults plus some space in between for stuff, small kid.

Only issue so far is the standby mode battery drain on all Ather vehicles of 2 to 3% daily even when the vehicle is not used at all. This is unnecessary waste of electricity in my view. It can be prevented by doing a shutdown of the vehicle, but is recommended by Ather only if the vehicle is not going to be used for more than 5 days.

I also miss the main stand, don't understand why they have skipped this basic functionality.
