With the EV revolution taking place in India at a faster pace than ever, families are also increasingly a part of it. Beyond the fuel saving factor, many people are opting for electric scooters for their comfort, convenience, and everyday use.
Ather Energy, in the middle of this EV revolution, has reached a significant milestone with its family-friendly electric scooter – Ather Rizta. The company has officially stated the Rizta has reached an impressive milestone in sales to cross 3 lakh units in a very short period.
This achievement is particularly impressive as it has been accomplished in just two years of the launch, showing the commitment of Indian families towards electric mobility.

The Ather Rizta is no longer a mere electric scooter available in the market. Now it’s one of the country’s most successful family-friendly EVs. Company data has cited the Rizta having achieved 2 lakh sales by December 2025 already. Remarkably, the company sold an additional 1 lakh more scooters in just five months of the after date.
