Kathmandu- Ather Energy, Nepal's leading electric scooter brand, is all set to introduce its newest electric scooter - Ather Rizta - to the Nepali market. The highly anticipated launch will take place at the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025, Nepal's premier platform for sustainable mobility solutions.

With the successful footprint of the Ather 450 series already established in Nepal, Ather Rizta marks a bold new step toward bringing family-first, high-tech electric mobility to a wider audience.

Rizta: The Electric Scooter Built for Families 

Designed with families and space in mind, Ather Rizta is a smart, spacious, and supremely comfortable electric scooter built for everyday life.

The Ather Rizta has resonated deeply with Indian families, achieving sales of over 100,000 units within its first year.

Ather Rizta's success in India stems from its thoughtful design and technology, and Vaidya Energy is bringing those same strengths - tailored for Nepal. Its spacious seats and large storage areas will be ideal for Nepali families and mixed-use travel between urban and rural areas. Advanced safety features like traction control and theft alerts will offer added confidence in Nepal's varied terrain and busy city traffic.

Rizta's smart connectivity features, including navigation, ride statistics, and over-the-air updates, can be localized with Nepali language support and local map integration to enhance the rider experience. The Z-variant's extended 159 km range makes it perfectly suited for intercity travel between hubs like Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Pokhara, and in other cities of Nepal reducing range anxiety. Lastly, Vaidya Energy aims to make EV adoption more accessible in Nepal by offering battery warranty options and attractive financing plans, helping customers shift from petrol to electric with long-term savings in mind.

Here's what sets it apart from others:

Impressive Range: Up to 159 km on a single charge, ensuring peace of mind for long commutes and errands.

Powerful Performance: A robust 4.3 kW motor, quick acceleration, and reliable top speed make it perfect for both city traffic and open roads.

Spacious Comfort: With the longest seat in the segment, it ensures a relaxed ride for both rider and pillion—ideal for families.

Safety First: Equipped with Skid Control technology, disc brakes, and an ultra-strong chassis, safety is built-in from the ground up. Smart Connectivity: A 7-inch TFT touchscreen with Google Maps navigation, Bluetooth music control, call management, and OTA updates. Advanced Battery Protection: IP67-rated battery with a 5-year warranty for long-term peace of mind. Storage & Practicality: 34 liters of under-seat storage - the most in its class - so you can carry your daily life with you.

Launch and Booking Details

The Ather Rizta will officially be unveiled at the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025, to be held at Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu from Aug 06 - 10, 2025. Visitors will get the first exclusive look at Rizta and can experience Ather's technology firsthand. Bookings for Rizta will open soon, and the scooter is expected to hit roads across Nepal later this year.

Ather's Commitment to Nepal

Ather Energy has rapidly grown in Nepal since its launch, with 8 Experience Centers now operating in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Butwal, and Itahari, 1 Test Ride Zone in Boudha, 6 Service Center and 21 Fast Charging Grid. The introduction of Rizta is part of Ather's commitment to make electric mobility practical, premium, and accessible for every Nepali household.
