Ather Rizta Launched in Nepal, Joins Existing 450 Series Line-up

Ather Energy launched its family-oriented electric scooter, the Rizta, in Nepal. This follows the company's international debut in the country in November 2023 with the Ather 450 series.

The Rizta is now available for test rides and purchase across Ather’s 9 Experience Centres in Nepal. These centres, along with 6 Service Centres, are operated by Ather’s national distributor, Vaidya Energy. The company has also installed 22 Ather Grid fast chargers across the region to support charging needs.

The Rizta offers 56L of total storage space, combining a 34L under-seat compartment and an optional 22L front-mounted accessory. The model features a flat floorboard and a 7-inch TFT display. Safety and connectivity features include SkidControl, Bluetooth-based call and music controls and Google Maps integration through AtherStack Pro.

Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy Limited, said: "Nepal was our first international market, and over the last two years, we have seen strong consumer interest and a very encouraging response to the Ather 450 series. To meet the growing demand, we have also steadily expanded our footprint across the country. With the launch of the Rizta, we are tapping into a new segment of family buyers who prioritise comfort and convenience in their everyday rides. We are hoping to see the same strong response for the Rizta as we’ve seen for the 450 series."

After entering Nepal in 2023, Ather expanded to Sri Lanka in December 2024, where it currently has 19 Experience Centres and 9 Service Centres. In India, the company operates 446 Experience Centres and nearly 4,000 public charging points under the Ather Grid and Neighbourhood charging network.
