Two Riders Take Ather 450 on Record-Breaking Trip from Goa to Kathmandu

Two riders from Goa set out on an ambitious expedition, covering over 6,000 kilometers round trip from India to Nepal on the Ather 450 electric scooter.

The journey is being recorded for the Asia Book of Records, aiming to mark the longest ride by an individual on an electric scooter and the first-ever cross-country electric scooter expedition of its kind.

It began on 9th January in Goa, tracing a route through Gorakhpur, Butwal, Chitwan, and Kathmandu. Riders navigated varied terrains, highways, border crossings, and charging stops, showing that range and reliability concerns can be addressed through experience rather than claims.

The expedition also highlighted the growing community around electric mobility. Stops at Ather Experience Centers in Butwal, Chitwan, and Kathmandu brought riders and enthusiasts together, reinforcing a shared belief in EV technology.

The Ather 450 used in this journey is entirely designed, engineered, and manufactured in India. Its performance across borders and climates underlines the reliability, endurance, and practical value of an Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer.

Arriving in Kathmandu, the riders proved that the impact of electric mobility extends beyond distance. The journey demonstrated the power of engineering, community, and belief to redefine what an electric scooter can achieve.
