Yamaha EC-05 Electric Scooter Coming To Nepal

Yamaha recently launched its electric scooter, the EC-05 in Taiwan. As per a recent update, the electric scooter will soon be hitting the Nepalese roads through Drivezy, which is a Bangalore based car and bike rental company. Drivezy is all set to implement the plan of bringing the electric scooter to Nepal earliest by November this year, which has been notified via a report released by Forbes.

The electric scooter EC-05 was launched in June via a collaboration between Yamaha and Taiwan’s Gogoro Inc, a company that sells electric scooters and is also responsible for setting up a network of charging stations. The EC-05 has been designed by Yamaha and is equipped with the batteries built by Gogoro Inc.

In an interview with Forbes India, the CEO of Drivezy, Ashwarya Pratap Singh told that – “We are setting up a separate electric subsidiary and will raise about $20 million to $25 million for it”. The CEO avoided disclosing the details but he told that the company is already on the hunt for the location and is also looking for partnerships in order to set up battery swapping networks. Although Gogoro has set up almost 1,300 battery swapping stations in Taiwan, such ventures are yet to be affirmed from Drivezy’s side for the Nepalese market.
