KATHMANDU, JANUARY 22 The Ather 450 electric scooter has completed a cross-country journey of more than 6,000 kilometres between India and Nepal, underscoring its long-distance capability and operational reliability, according to the company. Two riders from Goa undertook the expedition on a single Ather 450 scooter, beginning their journey on January 9. The route covered Goa, Gorakhpur, Butwal, Chitwan and Kathmandu, traversing highways, varied terrain and international border crossings. Ather said the ride is being documented for possible recognition by the Asia Book of Records, with proposed categories including the longest electric scooter ride by an individual and the first cross-country electric scooter journey of its kind.
