Ampere, the electric 2-wheeler brand of Greaves Electric Mobility, has announced significant upgrades to its flagship electric scooter, the Nexus, which is recognized as India’s Electric Scooter of the Year and holds 5 National Records. The Nexus now features a more advanced tech platform called Nex.IO, designed to deliver a fully loaded and connected riding experience.
Next-Gen Technology for a Smarter Ride
At the core of the upgrade is the introduction of Map Mirroring Technology, which allows riders to access full-screen navigation directly on the scooter’s 7” TFT display. This provides effortless commuting with features like zoom in/out, ETA, and distance-to-next-turn. The upgraded Nexus also integrates:
- Advanced Dashboard Monitoring: The high-resolution 7” TFT Touch Home-screen keeps riders updated with essential information like battery percentage, RPM, and max speed.
- Enhanced Connectivity: Riders can stay connected with call notifications and music controls, ensuring safety and convenience without distraction.
- Real-time Safety: The scooter provides real-time safety alerts and service reminders through Ampere Care Connectivity.
Ram Rajappa, COO of Greaves Electric Mobility, commented on the new tech, saying,
“With the introduction of Nex.IO, Nexus now comes with various tech innovations, elevating the riding experience by bringing next-gen digital features into the hands of our customers”. He added that it “makes Nexus not just an award-winning scooter, but also a more attractive offering”.
Engineered for Endurance and Performance
The Nexus is built with LFP (Lithium Ferro Phosphate) battery chemistry, and its design focuses on real-world performance, safety, and durability. This focus was recently proven when the Ampere Nexus made history by becoming the first-ever electric scooter to reach the Shipki La Pass, at an altitude of 13,200 ft, showcasing its endurance and performance in India’s most challenging terrains. This achievement was also formally recognized with a certificate from the India Book of Records.
Vikas Singh, Managing Director of Greaves Electric Mobility, underscored the brand’s vision, stating,
“The Nexus is a step forward… combining new features with the strength of thoughtful design and engineering”. He emphasized that by “keeping riders at the center of everything we build, we aim to deliver a superlative riding experience that sets higher standards for sustainable transport”.
