Specifications:
| Feature | TVS iQube | Ather Rizta |
| Battery Options | 3 kWh & 4.5 kWh | 2.9 kWh & 3.7 kWh |
| Claimed Range | 100 km & 145 km (real world) | 105 km & 125 km (real world) |

| Storage | 32 liters | 34 liters (under-seat) + optional box (22 liters) |
| Features | TFT display, App connectivity, Alexa | DeepView LCD/TFT, Ride Modes, Hill Hold, Reverse Mode |
Family Focus Factors:
- Range: Both scooters offer decent range, but the iQube’s higher claimed maximum of 145 km might be better for extended family outings. However, real-world range can vary depending on riding style and passenger weight.
- Seating: The Rizta boasts a larger seat, potentially offering more comfort for a parent and child riding together. The optional rear box adds to cargo capacity for essentials.
- Safety: Both scooters come with standard safety features like CBS (Combined Braking System). However, the Rizta’s hill hold function can be helpful on inclines with a passenger.
- Features: The iQube offers Alexa connectivity, which might be a fun addition for families with young children. The Rizta counters with ride modes and a reverse mode, which can be useful for maneuvering in tight spaces.
The Verdict:
Choosing between the iQube and Rizta for family use depends on your priorities.
- If maximizing range is your top concern, the TVS iQube might be a better choice.
- For added comfort and cargo space, the Ather Rizta with its larger seat and optional storage box takes the lead.
- Families with young children might find the iQube’s Alexa integration appealing.
- The Rizta’s hill hold function and ride modes could be beneficial for navigating hilly areas or for less experienced riders.
Ultimately, a test ride with your family onboard both scooters will give you the best sense of which one best suits your needs. Consider factors like ease of use, comfort for all passengers, and cargo capacity when making your final decision.
