“Kudos to Yatri for being the first to bring about a significant change in Nepal's transportation.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“If you have other vehicles than you can use EV as additional luxury or for KTM or for short trip only. It is definitely not a trusted means of transportation.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“Eco friendly is okay Nepalese product is okay But overpriced for that calculator milage indicator and performance is not okay in-front of other competitors with lower price.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“Yo bike le market paaudaina because price is very important for market if you want marketing then Price low garnu paryo.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“The torque is unbelievable for a Nepali bike, but I am worried the bottom will scrape every second speed breaker in Lalitpur.”

Owner’s own wordsReddit

“It looks better than most international EVs, but they need to focus on a bigger charging network if we want to take this to the hills.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“Waiting for the P2 to see if the price becomes more affordable for students and middle-class riders.”

Price, service, resale and roads — here

  • Performance is highly suited for Kathmandu's stop-and-go traffic due to electric motor efficiency
  • Buyers are cautious about the suspension's durability on gravelly and uneven suburban roads
  • Charging remains largely home-based as public infrastructure is still concentrated in urban centers like Kathmandu and Pokhara
  • The absence of a traditional dealership network makes some buyers hesitant about service availability in remote districts
  • Nepali buyers are especially sensitive to service-centre coverage, spare-parts availability and repair time outside Kathmandu.
  • Ground clearance, hill performance, charging access and real-world range matter more than headline specifications on Nepal’s uneven roads and routes.
  • The P1 should not be compared with a current Nepal market price until Yatri publishes an official sale announcement.
