KATHMANDU: Vaidya Energy, the authorized distributor of Ather electric scooters in Nepal, has brought Ather’s third model, the Rizta, for road testing.
According to the company, one unit of the Rizta has already arrived and is currently undergoing road tests in Kathmandu. The scooter is expected to be officially launched at the upcoming NADA Nepal Mobility Expo.
Vaidya Energy opened bookings for the Rizta during the launch of the Ather 450 series scooter a few weeks ago.
Designed for everyday use, the Rizta is a family-friendly electric scooter. Since it comes at a more affordable price than the Ather 450 series, it has already generated strong interest in the Nepali market.

The Rizta is available in three variants—Rizta S, Rizta Z 2.9 kW and Rizta Z 3.7 kW—in India. The scooter offers a claimed range of 105 km to 125 km and a top speed of 80 km/h. However, Vaidya Energy has not specified which variant will be available for sale in Nepal.
The Rizta has several practical features, including traction control, two ride modes (Zip and Smart), reverse mode, hill hold assist and a low seat height for added comfort. It also features a new single subframe, LED headlamps, sleek taillights, turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps, a digital instrument console and a TFT display.
