Kathmandu, Aug. 17
Zaap EV, a pioneering
electric mobility startup described as a comprehensive mobility ecosystem for
delivery and ride-sharing, has officially announced its operation.
Zaap EV’s electric
scooters, which boast a range of 60 km, will be available for rental at under
Rs. 500 per day, making them highly accessible for daily use. The scooters are
modular, allowing for easy modification—whether it's adding an extra seat or converting
them into goods carriers for delivery purposes.
The service is
expected to be launched within a month, with plans already in place to scale
rapidly. Starting in the Kathmandu Valley, Zaap aims to expand nationwide
within the year.
According to Dr.
Sudeep Rauniyar, Managing Director of the company, the Zaap ecosystem includes
a robust battery-swapping network, with 200 batteries distributed across 30
locations, initially. Users can swap batteries from 6 am to 9 pm, with 24-hour
access planned soon to better support gig economy workers with irregular hours.
Looking ahead, the
number of electric bikes is set to increase to 400 within a year, as the
company expands its footprint beyond Kathmandu.
“The initiative marks
a significant step forward in Nepal’s green transport revolution, with a unique
focus on empowering women, gig workers, and students,” said Dr. Rauniyar.
He described the
initiative as Nepal’s first women-focused, sustainability-driven two-wheeler
product, designed not only to promote eco-friendly transportation but also to
support inclusive economic participation.
“We want to create a
bridge between gig workers, women, and students. Our mission is to provide
affordable, sustainable mobility while enabling women to become
micro-entrepreneurs,” said Dr. Rauniyar.
The company is tying
up with an Indian auto manufacturer for chassis and battery products
exclusively for it. Users can visit the website of Zaap
EV, enroll for membership, and complete their KYC to gain early access to the
electric two-wheeler rental service.
