Suzuki e Access vs Ather Rizta: Battery, range and specifications compared

India's electric two-wheeler segment has evolved into one of the most dynamic and competitive arenas in the country's automobile industry. While startups like Ola Electric and Ather Energy have pioneered innovation and grabbed significant market share, traditional giants are rapidly catching up. Brands such as TVS and Bajaj made early moves with their iQube and Chetak models, and now Honda, Suzuki, and Hero MotoCorp are intensifying the race. Honda has entered the fray with the QC1 and Activa e, while Suzuki is preparing to launch its e Access scooter. Hero, meanwhile, continues its push with the Vida sub-brand. With the Suzuki e Access expected to hit showrooms soon, all eyes are on how it stacks up against established models like the Ather Rizta, which has gained traction as a practical, commuter-focused EV. Let's delve into a comparison of the two contenders. ₹ 1.1 - 1.49 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.2 - 1.4 Lakhs ₹ 1.49 - 1.79 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.22 - 1.36 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.9 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 45,000 Offers Expiring soon As of now, the prices of the e Access have not been unveiled. It is expected that the launch will happen soon. Ather's Rizta, on the other hand, is already available in the market and comes in three different variants. Depending on the configuration, the Rizta is priced between ₹1.11 lakh and ₹1.51 lakh (ex-showroom), offering customers a broader range of options based on performance and range. (Also read: 2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE launched with OBD-2B compliance, new colour) The Suzuki e Access is powered by a 3.07 kWh battery, which is mated to an electric motor that delivers a peak power of 5.49 bhp and a torque output of 15 Nm. It boasts a top speed of 71 kmph and claims a range of up to 95 km on a single full charge. Charging the battery to 100 per cent takes approximately 6 hours and 25 minutes. In comparison, the Ather Rizta offers two battery options — 2.9 kWh and 3.7 kWh. Depending on the chosen variant, the scooter delivers a range between 123 km and 160 km per charge. It also edges out the e Access in terms of top speed, managing to hit 80 kmph. (Also read: Ather Rizta crosses 1 lakh unit retail sales milestone) While the Suzuki e Access is still awaiting its official launch, early specs suggest it will appeal to budget-conscious urban commuters seeking a reliable EV. However, the Ather Rizta continues to set the benchmark with better range options, higher top speed, and a more diverse lineup. The final judgment will likely hinge on the Suzuki e Access's real-world performance and final pricing. As legacy brands continue to close the gap with startups, the Indian electric scooter market is set for an exciting phase of innovation, affordability, and rivalry.

Bhavish Aggarwal infuses ₹20 crore to top up Ola Electric share collateral amid stock slide

Bhavish Aggarwal, founder and CEO of Ola Electric Mobility Ltd., has infused around ₹20 crore (approx. $2.3 million) in cash to shore up collateral for a loan against his shareholding in the company, Reuters reports. The move comes as Ola Electric's stock price continues to decline, weighed down by disappointing sales and mounting losses. According to sources familiar with the matter, Aggarwal had raised ₹250 crore earlier this year by pledging his Ola Electric equity to fund his generative AI startup, Krutrim Data Center Pvt.. As the stock slid below ₹50 — a steep fall from its listing price of ₹76 in August 2023 — Aggarwal voluntarily topped up the collateral to maintain cushion, even though no margin call was triggered. The collateral reportedly remains more than double the loan amount. Ola Electric Faces Investor Scrutiny The SoftBank-backed e-scooter company has seen its shares fall by around 35 per cent since debut, driven by a mix of poor sales performance, governance concerns, and widening quarterly losses. The company recently reported that its losses have more than doubled, further shaking investor confidence. Recently, Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp. reduced their stakes in Ola Electric, amid growing uncertainty around the firm's financial and regulatory outlook. Strategic Funding Amid Market Volatility Aggarwal's cash infusion underlines his continued backing of both Ola Electric and Krutrim, while also signaling a proactive attempt to shield his AI ambitions from volatility in the public markets. The episode highlights the risks associated with equity-backed loans in a turbulent market, especially as founders diversify into new ventures while their flagship companies face operational and financial headwinds.>
