Ather Rizta Z Gets Touchscreen Functionality via OTA Update

Ather Energy has rolled out a new Over-The-Air (OTA) software update for its family scooter, the Ather Rizta Z, bringing a major feature upgrade — touchscreen functionality. With this, the Rizta Z becomes one of the few scooters in its segment to offer a fully interactive display, enhancing both convenience and rider engagement.

With the latest OTA update, its display now goes beyond being just an information cluster, allowing touch-based interaction for smoother navigation of menus and features.

What’s New with the Touchscreen? Interactive Control: Riders can swipe and tap to access settings and ride data. Enhanced Navigation: On-screen map interaction for better route planning. Media & Calls: Quick control of music playback and call alerts directly from the display.
