Ampere Magnus G Max Launched in India
Greaves Electric Mobility’s Ampere brand has expanded its portfolio with the launch of the Magnus G Max electric scooter, priced at an introductory ₹94,999. Aimed squarely at Indian families, this new model focuses on everyday usability rather than flashy performance, something I personally think many EV buyers actually need right now.
Battery, Range and Charging
The Ampere Magnus G Max is powered by a 3 kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery, a chemistry known for better thermal stability and longer life. The company claims a real-world range of over 100 km in Eco mode, while the certified range stands at 142 km. Charging from 20% to 80% takes around 4.5 hours, which should comfortably suit overnight home charging routines. The battery is backed by a 5-year or 75,000 km warranty, reinforcing Ampere’s focus on long-term ownership confidence.
Motor, Performance and Ride Modes
Powering the scooter is a hub-mounted motor delivering 1.5 kW nominal and 2.4 kW peak output. The Magnus G Max offers three riding modes – Eco, City and Reverse. It can reach a top speed of 65 kmph, making it well-suited for urban commuting without feeling underpowered.
Practical Design and Comfort
One of the standout features is the 33-litre under-seat storage, which Ampere claims is one of the largest in its segment. From my perspective, this alone makes the Magnus G Max extremely appealing for family use and daily errands. The scooter rides on a dual-frame chassis, offers 165 mm ground clearance, and is equipped with hydraulic telescopic front suspension along with dual rear shock absorbers, helping it handle Indian road conditions more comfortably.
Features and Technology
The scooter comes with a 3.5-inch LCD digital instrument cluster, USB charging, and LED headlamp and indicators as standard. Buyers can also opt for connected features via a telematics control unit, adding a layer of smart functionality for those who want it without forcing it on everyone.
Colours and Styling
Ampere Magnus G Max is available in three dual-tone colour options – Monsoon Blue, Matcha Green and Cinnamon Copper. The design remains clean and practical, clearly prioritising function over unnecessary design complexity.
Company Statement and Brand Background
According to Vikas Singh, Managing Director of Greaves Electric Mobility, the Magnus G Max was developed after extensive research into Indian family usage patterns, with a strong focus on range consistency, comfort, storage and battery safety. Greaves Electric Mobility, a part of Greaves Cotton Limited, brings over 17 years of EV manufacturing experience, operates three manufacturing plants in India, and supports customers through 400 dealer touchpoints nationwide. The company also holds eight India Book of Records titles, underscoring its established presence in the EV space.
