Which Rizta battery should you choose?

What changes between the packs

Exact battery availability varies by variant and month — ask us which packs are in stock at your showroom.

Range with a pillion

TrueRange assumes typical mixed riding. Two adults, a full boot and a lot of stop-start traffic all use more energy, so plan on a little less than the headline when the Rizta is doing family duty. In practice, families on the smaller pack who charge every night almost never run short in town; the 3.5 kWh is about having slack for the unplanned trip to the hospital or the relative's house across the city.

Questions we ask families

1. Who else will ride it? A teenager or a second adult using it during the day means less time on the charger.
2. Where will it charge? A ground-floor house with a socket by the gate is easy. An apartment basement may mean charging less often — see our apartment charging guide.
3. How far are the regular trips? School, work, parents' home, temple, market — add up the longest regular day.

If two of those answers point to "a lot", choose the 3.5 kWh.

Rizta S or Rizta Z with the bigger battery?

Only the Rizta Z gets the 30-km-in-10-minutes Ather Grid rate with the 3.5 kWh pack, along with the touchscreen, Google Maps and SkidControl. If you are paying for the bigger battery because you ride further, the Z's extras tend to be worth it too. Our Rizta Z vs Rizta S comparison covers the rest.
