Ather Scooters Making Waves in Nepal
Ather Energy of India is quickly shaping up to be a leader in Nepal’s electric scooter market. Since entering in November 2023, Ather has gained tremendous interest with models such as the 450X, 450S, and Rizta.Ather 450X – Sporty and Premium
The 450X delivers sporty performance and a premium feel. It boasts up to 6.4 kW of peak power, thrilling acceleration, and advanced smart features.
In Nepal, it comes in two battery variants, priced between NPR 3.65 lakhs and NPR 3.99 lakhs.
Moreover, it appeals to riders who value speed, technology, and style in one package.
Ather 450S – Affordable but Stylish
The 450S is the more affordable member of the 450 lineup. It retains the sharp looks of the 450X but offers slightly less performance.
It produces 5.4 kW of power and delivers a 105 km true range.
In addition, its price of around NPR 3.25 lakhs makes it accessible to a wider group of buyers.
Ather Rizta – The Family EV Scooter
The Rizta is designed for families. It is spacious, practical, and very comfortable.
For instance, it provides up to 160 km range, 34L under-seat storage, and a roomy floorboard.
Therefore, it has quickly become a reliable choice for long rides and family use.
Expanding Network in Nepal
To support riders, Ather and Vaidya Energy have already opened 9 experience centres and 6 service centres.
In addition, they have built a strong network of 21–22 fast chargers across Nepal.
As a result, buyers are more confident about EV adoption and less worried about range anxiety.
Positive Impact on the Nepali Market
Ather has transformed Nepal’s EV mobility scene. Riders now enjoy smoother rides, better performance, and digital features like OTA updates and navigation.
Furthermore, the brand has set higher expectations for quality and technology in scooters.
Users also appreciate that these scooters handle hilly terrain and city traffic effectively.
In addition, smart ownership models such as Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), buy-back plans, and extended warranties reduce buyer hesitation.
Consequently, more Nepali riders are switching to electric mobility.
