Bengaluru-based electric vehicle manufacturer Ather Energy has officially started production of the much-awaited Ather Rizta electric scooter.
Deliveries will begin in July and represent an important milestone for the company. The announcement was made by Tarun Mehta, Co-Founder and CEO at X.
The Rizta was launched in April this year and is available in two variants, S and Z, priced from Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom).
