Ather Energy Limited has officially launched its Rizta electric scooter in Sri Lanka, marking the company’s expansion into its second international market. The launch took place at the Colombo Motor Show 2025, nearly a year after Ather first entered the Sri Lankan market with the Ather 450X.
The Rizta launch is made possible through Ather’s partnership with Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd, its authorized distributor in Sri Lanka. Since its entry in December 2024, Ather has established 40 experience centers and installed Ather Grid fast chargers across the country to strengthen the local EV infrastructure.
Family-Friendly and Connected Scooter
Designed for Sri Lankan riders, the Rizta focuses on safety, convenience, and connectivity. Key features include:
- 34-liter under-seat storage for family use
- Spacious floorboard for comfortable riding
- SkidControl technology for enhanced safety
- Rizta Z variant with 7-inch TFT display, Google Maps navigation, and music & call controls
Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer at Ather Energy, highlighted the growing potential of the Sri Lankan market, emphasizing the Rizta’s suitability for local riders.
Global Expansion and EV Infrastructure
Ather’s international expansion began in November 2023 in Nepal, where it currently operates 9 experience centers and 7 service centers. In India, Ather maintains 524 experience centers and 3,643 fast-charging stations as of September 2025. Globally, Ather has installed 4,322 fast chargers, including 40 in Sri Lanka and Nepal.
Founded in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, Ather Energy now offers nine variants across two lines: the performance-oriented Ather 450 series and the convenience-focused Rizta family scooter line.
With the Rizta, Ather Energy strengthens its footprint in South Asia, offering safe, connected, and family-friendly electric mobility solutions for riders in Sri Lanka.
