Ather Energy has officially launched the Ather Rizta electric scooter in Sri Lanka, marking an important step in its global expansion plans. The family-oriented e-scooter made its debut at the Colombo Motor Show 2025, strengthening Ather’s presence in the South Asian EV market.
The launch is supported by Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd, Ather’s authorised distributor in Sri Lanka, helping the company build a strong retail and service ecosystem beyond India.
Ather Is Building a Complete EV Ecosystem in Sri Lanka
Ather’s strategy in Sri Lanka is not limited to launching scooters. The brand is developing a full electric mobility ecosystem.
The company first entered the country in December 2024 with the Ather 450X. Since then, Ather’s network has grown quickly:
- 40 Experience Centers operated by Evolution Auto
- Ather Grid fast chargers installed across key locations
This growing network ensures easy charging access and strong after-sales support. According to Ather’s Chief Business Officer, Ravneet Singh Phokela, the Sri Lankan market has responded positively, especially to the Rizta’s focus on family safety and connected features.
Why the Ather Rizta Stands Out: Built for Family Use
The Ather Rizta is designed with comfort, convenience, and safety at its core — making it ideal for daily family usage.
Comfort & Space
- Large, cushioned seat for rider and pillion
- Spacious floorboard for leg comfort
- 34L underseat storage for groceries, backpacks, and essentials
Safety Technology
- Ather’s SkidControl™ system improves stability on slippery or unpredictable roads
- Better safety for family riders and new users
Connected Features
The top-end Rizta Z trim gets a smart, connected dashboard with a 7-inch TFT display, offering:
- Google Maps navigation
- Music and call controls
- Fully connected riding experience
Ather’s Fast-Growing Global Footprint
The Sri Lanka launch is part of Ather’s steady international expansion.
Presence in Nepal
Ather first expanded globally in November 2023 with Nepal, where it now has:
- 9 Experience Centers
- 7 Service Centers
Presence in India
Ather continues to maintain one of India’s strongest EV networks:
- 524 Experience Centers
- 3,643 Ather Grid fast-charging stations (as of Sept 30, 2025)
Across all markets combined, Ather has installed 4,322 chargers, showing its commitment to building a global EV ecosystem.
Conclusion
The launch of the Ather Rizta in Sri Lanka is a significant step towards Ather’s goal of becoming a global EV leader. With its family-friendly design, practical features, strong safety tech, and growing charging network, the Rizta is well-suited for international markets.
