Ampere Nexus EX+ electric scooter launched at Rs 1.30 lakh
Ampere has launched the updated Nexus EX+ electric scooter at Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom). It features a 6.7hp motor, 202Nm peak wheel torque, a 136 km IDC range, and a top speed of 93 km/h. The company claims a 0 to 40 km/h time of 4.5 seconds and an 18-degree gradient climbing ability.
A connected Intellipack variant costs Rs 1.36 lakh (ex-showroom). Both variants come in Carbon Knight and Steel Grey. The 136 km range is an Indian Driving Cycle figure from a 3 kWh LFP battery, which the company says charges from 0 to 80% in 3.10 hours. Real-world range varies with speed, load, terrain and riding mode. Mandatory accessories are charged extra, so the final bill will be higher than listed.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The extra motor output targets buyers who need hill and pillion capability, a segment where many electric scooters fall short. Ampere's range claim is based on a test cycle rather than real riding, so the 136 km figure will be lower in daily use, especially on highways or slopes. The battery warranty of five years or 75,000 km is shorter than the 2,00,000 km design life the company mentions, leaving the gap between them unresolved. Buyers should get the on-road quote in writing before booking.
