Niu NQi Sport costs रु 11,999 less ex-showroom.
Good value for riders wanting a modern, smart EV scooter with solid range and warranty at a mid-3 lakh price. Best suited to urban and peri-urban commuters who can access Ather Grid fast charging and benefit from smart features. At this price, the 450S is the value-focused Ather option in Nepal. It suits riders who want brand cachet, smart features, and urban electric commuting without paying 450X money.
Identical to the Gloss variant in tech but appeals to riders preferring a stealthy, understated aesthetic at the same price point.
