Ather Rizta Battery Teased: Here’s What The Family Electric Scooter Will Be Packing

The battery pack survived a drop of 40 feet or 4 stories!

(Update: Ather Energy has launched the all-new Ather Rizta family scooter. Check out the details in our launch story here.)

Ather Energy co-founder Swapnil Jain took to social media to release a teaser that shows the battery pack that will be used on the upcoming Ather Rizta family electric scooter. The teaser featured one of Ather’s engineers, Shreyas Seethapathi, conducting a drop test of the battery pack. 

Shreyas loves destroying batteries and he comes up with his own crazy ways of testing them. Last time he was seen baking his battery eating ice-cream. This time he saw a crane and got excited and wanted to test strength of our batteries.

So he decided to drop it from 40 feet.… pic.twitter.com/a2LB78WT2e

For the drop test the battery pack was dropped from a height of 40 feet, equivalent to 4 stories. The battery pack was able to survive the impact without any damage. It was able to handle this drop test because it is built on high pressure die-cast aluminum technology which makes it strong enough to withstand such impacts. 

The batteries on electric scooters have to be strong enough to withstand all kinds of pressures as the scooter will be going through bumps, potholes and bad roads in general.

The Ather Rizta is set to make its debut on Ather community day April 6, 2024. The battery pack is likely to be a 2.9kWh battery pack with a certified range of 115km, similar to the Ather 450S. We expect the e-scooter to come at a price of 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom including FAME 2 subsidy) and after launch it will go up against other TVS iQube, Hero Vida V1 Pro and Bajaj Chetak.
