Verdict
The Ather Ritza looks impressive on paper, and since its launch, people have kept a close eye on its updates. However, real-world reviews will only come after deliveries begin. Its going to be really hard for Ather as it steps into the super-competitive electric scooter market, with rivals like the Ola S1 Pro, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, and Vida S1.
