The e-ACCESS provides riders with the option of three distinct drive modes :
Eco Mode: This mode optimizes the cruising range by capping the maximum speed at 55 km/h, thereby limiting power output to save energy and enhancing energy recovery through improved regenerative braking.
Ride Mode A: This mode offers maximum output with a top speed of 71 km/h. However, it features a higher regenerative braking setting (2kW), which results in quicker deceleration compared to Ride Mode B.
Ride Mode B: This mode also provides maximum output with a maximum speed of 71 km/h, but it has a lower regenerative braking setting (1kW), leading to a slower deceleration than Ride Mode A.

Ather Rizta crosses 1 lakh unit retail sales milestone
The Ather Rizta is large, the same size as the Honda Activa 125 in length but is wider than the latter. The design may seem a bit too conservative and familiar Check Offers Ather Energy has announced that they have sold over 1 lakh units of the Rizta electric scooter in the Indian market within a year of its launch. The Rizta is the brand's first family electric scooter and seems like it has been quite well. Ather Energy says that Rizta has accounted for around 60 per cent of Ather's total sales volume, following its launch last year. The Rizta was first unveiled at the Ather Community Day in April 2024 and retails began from June 2024 across the country. Rizta has broadened Ather's product range and has been instrumental in reaching a significantly larger consumer base within the nation. Following the ramp-up of deliveries in Q2 FY25, Ather has experienced a notable rise in market share across essential states such as Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh. Additionally, the Rizta, in conjunction with the Ather 450 series, has facilitated Ather's ascent to the position of the leading brand in South India by Q4 FY25, according to Vahan data. Watch: Ather Rizta review: Perfect electric scooter for the family man? | Colours, price, features, range Commenting on this milestone, Ravneet Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy said, 'Hitting the 1 lakh milestone with the Rizta is a big moment for us. The Rizta, which was built from the ground up with a focus on addressing the needs of Indian families, has played a key role in expanding our reach and connecting with a much wider set of customers. It combines practically everything a family scooter needs: a spacious and comfortable seat, ample storage, safety features, and reliability to make everyday commuting effortless; all that packaged in great design that Ather has come to be known for. In less than a year since its launch, the Rizta has helped us grow our market share significantly across multiple states, broadened our consumer profile, and accelerated adoption in states where our presence was earlier limited."
