Upcoming Ather Rizta Electric Scooter Battery Teased And Drop-tested On Video

(Update: Ather Energy has launched the all-new Ather Rizta family scooter. Check out the details in our launch story here.)

Ather Energy has been teasing the upcoming Ather Rizta in unique ways, be it a collab with the Great Khali or big billboards featuring the electric scooter’s massive seat. Now, Ather has teased and drop-tested Rizta’s battery in their latest video.

In the video, Ather’s engineer Shreyas Seethapathy explains that Ather batteries are built using high-pressure die-cast aluminium that helps to achieve high durability that can withstand direct impacts that you may face on the road.

Shreyas loves destroying batteries and he comes up with his own crazy ways of testing them. Last time he was seen baking his battery eating ice-cream. This time he saw a crane and got excited and wanted to test strength of our batteries.

So he decided to drop it from 40 feet.… pic.twitter.com/a2LB78WT2e

The teaser starts with Shreyas operating a crane. Then, we see a man bringing the battery pack which is then elevated using the same crane. After reaching a height of 40 feet, which is similar to a four-storey building, the man drops the battery pack. But the battery pack stays intact even after being dropped from the height. In the end, Shreyas mentions that it is the same battery that the upcoming Rizta will feature.

Shreyas always comes up with unique ideas to test the battery's durability. Earlier, he was spotted in another video from Ather, where he could be seen baking the battery in an oven, and enjoying ice cream while sitting on top of it.

A few days back, Ather teased a smart accessory named ‘Halo’, which we think will be a smart helmet that will be available with the upcoming Rizta. Ather’s CEO and co-founder have also revealed the Rizta’s new features. Check out the story here.
