Yatri P2 Electric Scooter: Nepal’s Homegrown EV Heads to NADA Auto Show 2026
Nepal’s homegrown electric vehicle maker Yatri Motorcycles is preparing to enter the electric scooter market with its first scooter, the Yatri P2. The new model represents a major shift for Yatri, which has so far focused on premium electric motorcycles.
The P2 has been developed and tested specifically for Nepal. Moreover, Yatri and Sipradi Trading have joined forces on the project, bringing together Yatri’s local engineering expertise and Sipradi’s experience in automotive manufacturing, distribution, and after-sales support.
The scooter has already completed more than 7,000 km of road testing across Nepal. Engineers tested the P2 across locations including Kathmandu, Nuwakot, Jiri, Hetauda, Mulkot, Katari, Bharatpur, Waling and other challenging routes.
Yatri P2 Set for NADA Auto Show 2026
The Yatri P2 is expected to make its public debut at the NADA Auto Show 2026, which will take place from August 25 to 30 at Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu. Yatri has already indicated that the production-ready P2 is nearing its public introduction.
However, Yatri has not yet announced the final launch price or complete technical specifications. Therefore, figures circulating online should be treated as expectations rather than confirmed specifications.
Made-in-Nepal Electric Scooter
The P2 stands out because Yatri has designed and developed the scooter in Nepal. Furthermore, the company has worked through extensive local testing before bringing the production model to market.
The 7,000-km testing programme covered different road surfaces and elevations. Engineers tested the scooter on flat Terai roads as well as hill roads and more demanding routes.
This approach gives the P2 a clear focus: building an electric scooter around the conditions Nepali riders experience every day.
Yatri P2 Design & Hardware
Early road sightings and teasers reveal a scooter with a noticeably different design from conventional urban electric scooters.
The P2 appears to feature a mid-mounted electric motor, rather than the hub motors commonly found on many electric scooters. It also gets a chain-drive layout, according to current reports.
Other visible elements include:
- Large alloy wheels
- Wide flat floorboard
- LED lighting
- Aluminium swingarm
- Dual rear suspension
- Sporty, motorcycle-inspired bodywork
- Mid-mounted motor
- Rear-wheel drive
The combination gives the P2 a more performance-oriented character while retaining the practicality of a scooter.
Yatri P2 Expected Specifications
Yatri has not released the final specification sheet yet. As a result, the following information should be considered indicative rather than official.
| Specification | Yatri P2 |
|---|---|
| Vehicle Type | Electric Scooter |
| Development | Designed & developed in Nepal |
| Motor Layout | Mid-mounted |
| Drive | Rear-wheel drive |
| Transmission | Chain drive |
| Battery | Not officially disclosed |
| Range | Not officially disclosed |
| Variants | Not officially disclosed |
| Charging | Not officially disclosed |
| Launch Event | NADA Auto Show 2026 |
| Official Price | Not announced |
Some reports have suggested a battery capacity starting around 2.7 kWh and multiple variants, but Yatri has not officially confirmed those details. Therefore, they should not be treated as final specifications.
Yatri P2 Technology
Technology is also expected to play an important role in the P2. Yatri’s previous electric motorcycles have focused heavily on connected features and digital interfaces.
However, the company has not yet published a complete list of P2 features. The final production model could therefore reveal additional connected and smart-mobility functions at its official unveiling.
Yatri P2 Price in Nepal
The official price of the Yatri P2 has not been announced yet.
Current industry estimates place the scooter somewhere around the Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 4 lakh range. However, this remains an estimate and should not be treated as Yatri’s confirmed pricing.
The final price could become one of the most important factors for the P2. The scooter will enter a competitive market with established models from Ather, TVS, Bajaj, VIDA and several Chinese manufacturers.
Sipradi-Yatri Partnership
The P2 is also significant because of the partnership between Yatri and Sipradi Trading.
Sipradi brings extensive experience in Nepal’s automotive industry, while Yatri contributes its local vehicle design and engineering capabilities. Together, the companies aim to take Yatri beyond its previous niche electric motorcycle positioning.
The partnership could also help Yatri improve production, distribution, service, and customer support as it moves toward a more mainstream product.
Yatri P2 Availability in Nepal
The P2 is expected to reach the Nepali market following its public debut at the NADA Auto Show 2026.
The event will run from August 25 to 30 at Bhrikutimandap Exhibition Hall in Kathmandu. NADA describes the show as Nepal’s largest automobile exhibition, covering passenger vehicles, EVs, two-wheelers, commercial vehicles and mobility technologies.
Bookings, final pricing, variants, warranty details and complete specifications could be announced around the event.
Yatri P2: A Major Test for Nepal’s EV Industry
The Yatri P2 is more than another electric scooter entering Nepal’s growing EV market. It represents Yatri’s attempt to move from a niche electric motorcycle manufacturer into the mainstream two-wheeler market.
The extensive 7,000-km testing programme, local engineering, mid-mounted motor and Sipradi partnership make the P2 one of the most anticipated Nepali EV launches of 2026.
Most importantly, the final price, battery capacity, range and production specifications will determine how strongly the P2 can compete against established electric scooters. With its NADA Auto Show debut approaching, the P2 could become one of the biggest highlights of Nepal’s 2026 electric mobility market.
