Ampere has launched an all-new electric scooter called the Nexus. It is available in two variants: EX and ST, with prices starting at Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Ampere Nexus has a clean and modern look. It features an LED headlamp, which is claimed to be the brightest in the segment and a 7-inch touchscreen. It has Bluetooth connectivity offering features like turn-by-turn navigation and incoming call and message alerts.

The base EX variant gets a smaller 6.2-inch LCD. It also lacks some of the advanced connectivity features offered on the Nexus ST. The e-scooter rides on 12-inch alloy wheels, while the braking setup consists of a front disc brake and a drum brake at the rear.

The Ampere Nexus uses a 3 kWh battery pack with a certified range of 136 km. It powers a 4 kWh electric motor that can propel the scooter to a top speed of 93 km/h. It has five riding modes: Eco, City, Power, Reverse and a Limp Home mode, which is activated when the battery has less than 20% charge left.

According to Ampere, the LFP battery is IP67-rated and can be charged in around 3 hours. The scooter comes with a 15A charger, while a 25A fast charger is available as an option.
