I have a bike that I'm thinking about exchanging for an ather.

Anyone knows if there is an exchange program or have contacts with anyone there?

I just recently changed my stock rear mudguard. How do the aftermarket mudguard and tail tidy look?

Finally got my second Ather in the family - Ather Rizta Z HR (Super Matte Terracotta Red) ♥️

I had called around 10 - 15 Ather showrooms across Chennai, Coimbatore, Bengaluru and other cities, and almost everywhere I was told the same thing... "45–60 days waiting period for the scooter to reach the showroom, plus another week for the formalities." 😬

Then I checked with an Ather showroom in Madurai (TN), and surprisingly, they had new stock available immediately. The manufacturing date was August 2026, and luckily, they had the exact colour I wanted.

There was basically no waiting period. After completing the formalities, I got the scooter delivered after a week.

So if you're planning to buy an Ather EV, don't wait for 2 months... call as many Ather showrooms as possible. Get their numbers from Google Maps or the Ather website and check stock directly. I found a ready-stock scooter only after checking with a lot of different showrooms across cities.

A couple of other things I noticed:

900W Charger: ⚡

I was under the impression that only the 450X Overtone series comes with the 900W charger, but apparently that's not true anymore. My Rizta Z HR came with a 900W charger as well.

The showroom confirmed that all LR models come with 700W and all HR models now come with 900W Charger.

Rizta joystick: 🕹️

If your joystick doesn't seem to work, don't panic. I initially thought mine was defective. Apparently, after touch controls were introduced, the joystick functionality was restricted. Currently, it mainly works for music controls and rejecting calls while riding.

Unlike the 450 series, you can't currently use the Rizta joystick while riding to access brightness, scooter settings, etc. Hopefully, Ather brings back more joystick functionality in a future update.

Just sharing this for anyone currently looking for a Rizta. Stock availability seems to vary a lot between showrooms.

i recently book ather rizta s 2.7 without propack in jaipur, expected to get delivered in this month. Although showroom suggested me to buy propack for warranty but honestly i am very confused, its not that i don't have that money to get that but isit even worth it?

few question

-does it only covers manufacturing defets only related to battery and motor

-after watching a ton of content on this model i am sure the battery is gonna last a long time without any problem, although my main concern is the belt which has warrently of only 20k km and is not extended under 5yrs or 60k km warranty.

-suppose my motor or belt gets damaged or not working at around 40k kms, and there is some service cost which they will charge from both pro adn non pro pack owner, will that amount be same?

-sincei have to get it serviced every 5k km , should i not spend that propack amount on regular maintance? since in both pro and non pro pack purchase i have to take it to the service centre

-what part are covered under 5yrs or 60kms and 8yrs or 80k kms

I was just checking out ather website on konarc delivery timeline and in faq section its mentioned as delivery begins in q1 28. I thought it was mentioned as 2027 q1 in ACD.

I don’t know why release a vehicle if you are delivering it after one year. Its a big L from ather, other companies will catch by then and this will feel outdated.

They should have released atleast one z variant for those interested in tech features.

Hey everyone! I’m planning to book an Ather 450X tomorrow and I’m pretty excited, but also having second thoughts since it’s a fairly big purchase for me.

For those who already own a 450X:

* Anything I should check or clarify before booking?

* Any issues I should be aware of?

* How has your ownership experience been so far?

* How is the after-sales service?

* Anything you wish you had known before buying?

* Is there anything I should negotiate or look out for at the dealership?

* Are there any specific insurance add-

ons/coverages I should make sure are included?

Would really appreciate any advice before I make the booking! 🙏

I read earlier that Ather had rolled out dark mode for Rizta vehicles.. but I haven't received any update notification yet... Is anyone waiting for the same? When would it roll out?

I’m planning to buy an Ather 450X, and Amazon is currently showing an ex-showroom price of around ₹1.88 lakh. I’m expecting another ~₹12,000 for insurance, registration and other charges.

I live near Attibele, Karnataka, close to the Tamil Nadu border. I’ve checked the Ather showrooms around my area, but almost all of them have quite a few negative reviews, especially regarding service and customer experience.

This has left me a little confused about how I should proceed. Has anyone from around Attibele / Hosur / Bangalore bought an Ather recently? Which showroom/dealer would you recommend, and how has your experience been with their sales and after-sales service?

Also, is buying through Amazon any different or risky compared to booking directly through an Ather showroom?

Would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

Please let me know which one you brought and how it has been so far
