Kathmandu, Nepal, March 27, 2026: Vaidya Energy Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of Ather Energy in Nepal, today announced nationwide launch of the Ather Rizta S, the latest addition to the Rizta line-up, building on the strong response to last year’s Rizta Z in Nepal. Alongside the launch, the Rizta line-up is supported by the Ather Assurance package, bringing together battery reliability, charging access, and ownership costs to make EV ownership simple, predictable, and reliable.

Speaking on the launch, Suryansh Vaidya, CEO of Vaidya Energy Pvt. Ltd., said, “The Rizta S is designed to make electric mobility simple, practical, and accessible for every Nepali household. With its unique design, reliable performance, and the added confidence of the Ather Assurance package, it addresses the real concerns customers have when switching to electric. We believe it will play a significant role in accelerating EV adoption across the country.”
Built for Everyday Riding

The Rizta line-up now includes two variants, the Rizta Z with an IDC range of 159 km and the Rizta S, strengthening Ather’s offering for families and daily commuters in Nepal. The Rizta S is powered by a 2.7 kWh battery delivering an IDC range of 123 km, producing 4.3 kW of peak power, reaching a top speed of 80 km per hour, accelerating from 0 to 40 km per hour in 4.7 seconds, and delivering 22 Nm of torque.
Designed for real-life riding, the Rizta S combines spacious seats, a roomy floorboard, and generous storage, making it perfect for Nepali commuters and everyday trips across both city streets and rural roads. Safety is built in, with features like Auto Hold, Fall Safe, and Emergency Stop Signal, giving riders confidence on Nepal’s varied terrain and busy traffic.

Ather Assurance Package: Making EV Ownership Simple and Predictable

The Ather Assurance package addresses key barriers to EV adoption, making ownership seamless and worry free.
Extended Battery Warranty: At its core is battery confidence, with in-house designed battery packs tested across varied riding conditions for over a decade. The battery comes with a warranty of up to 3 years or 30,000 km, extendable up to 5 years or 60,000 km, offering long term peace of mind.

Charging Infrastructure: Charging is made convenient through Ather’s 35 public fast chargers, the largest two-wheeler fast charging network in Nepal, installed at strategic locations nationwide so riders are never far from a charging point. With this network, longer trips such as Kathmandu to Pokhara or Kathmandu to Chitwan become practical with planned charging stops. Customers are currently offered 1 year of free charging at Ather Grid fast charging stations, making longer journeys across Nepal practical and worry-free.
Service: Dedicated service centres are available across Nepal in every city with an Ather Experience Center, ensuring a seamless and reliable ownership experience. In addition, customers also receive a 20% discount on the Annual Maintenance Contract for a limited period.
By combining strong warranty coverage, accessible charging infrastructure, and reliable service network, the Ather Assurance package simplifies everyday ownership and gives riders greater confidence to switch to electric, making the Rizta a practical, mainstream choice.
