Niu NQi GTS costs रु 80,000 less ex-showroom. 450 Apex has 4.1 PS more power.
At the same listed price as the 450 Apex Performance 3.7 kWh, this Performance trim effectively overlaps and offers the same strong hardware, but its Nepal-market availability status is still murky. For buyers, it is only good value if Ather Nepal formally confirms imports; until then, the safer choice remains officially listed 450X/450S trims.
At NPR 4.2 lakh, the NQi GTS Standard is a premium urban e-scooter offering solid range, modern features and established global engineering. It suits city riders who prioritize brand reputation, design, and daily 60–80 km commuting with occasional longer rides, and can afford higher upfront pricing for lower running costs.
