The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is gaining momentum worldwide, and Nepal is no exception. The Ather 450X, a cutting-edge electric scooter, has recently made its debut in the Nepali market through Vaidya Energy, the authorized distributor of Ather scooters. This EV sensation promises to be a game changer, and here’s why.

Competitive Pricing and an Exceptional Warranty

One of the most significant factors that immediately grabs attention is the pricing. The Ather 450X is available in two variants, with prices starting at NPR 3.85 lakhs for the 2.9 kWh model and NPR 4.20 lakhs for the 3.7 kWh version. These introductory prices have created quite a buzz in the market, making the Ather 450X an attractive choice for those looking to embrace eco-friendly transportation.

What sets the Ather 450X apart is its remarkable warranty policy. It offers a 5-year, or 60,000 km, warranty on the electric scooter’s battery, the most extensive warranty available for an EV in Nepal. This assurance reflects Ather’s confidence in the durability and reliability of their product.

Impressive design and performance

The Ather 450X’s design is nothing short of exceptional. With its sharp angles and striking profile, it stands out in a crowd. The scooter’s front features an LED headlamp with integrated LED DRLs, and the handlebar cleverly incorporates the side indicators. It’s a design that manages to captivate and turn heads.

The scooter’s performance is equally impressive. Powered by a 3.3kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, it can reach a top speed of 90 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. The Ather 450X is available with two lithium-ion battery options: 2.9 kWh and 3.7 kWh. The smaller battery can charge from 0% to 80% in 6 hours and 36 minutes and offers a certified range of 111 km (90 km true range). The larger battery charges from 0% to 80% in 4 hours and 30 minutes and provides a certified range of 150 km (100 km true range).

Notable Features

The Ather 450X comes with a plethora of features, including a 7-inch TFT touchscreen display, an IP67-rated battery and motor, 4G connectivity, park assist, auto hold, side stand sensors, and many more. The Ather 450X offers an exceptional package for those looking for both performance and advanced technology.

Price and availability

As mentioned earlier, the Ather 450X is priced at NPR 3.85 lakhs for the 2.9 kWh version and NPR 4.20 lakhs for the 3.7 kWh version. The company is currently offering test rides and accepting bookings for both variants, and the showroom is being set up at Gairidhara and Jhamsikhel, with a service center in Tinkune.

Market Competition

In the Nepali EV market, the Ather 450X will face competition from models like the Zeeho AE8 and TVS iQube S. Ather stands out due to its performance, software updates, and impressive battery technology. Furthermore, the 5-year battery warranty is a significant advantage, ensuring peace of mind for Ather 450X owners.

The arrival of the Ather 450X in Nepal is a testament to the growing appeal of electric mobility in the country. With its competitive pricing, outstanding warranty, and top-notch features, it’s poised to make a significant impact in the EV sector. As more Nepali consumers turn to eco-friendly transportation, the Ather 450X is set to be a leading choice in the market.
