Ampere has introduced its new Reo electric scooter to the Indian market, priced at an ex-showroom rate of ₹71,999. Designed for urban commuters, this model aims to offer an economical alternative to petrol-powered two-wheelers, featuring a claimed range of 80 km on a single charge.
The Ampere Reo is equipped with a 250W motor that delivers 35 Nm of torque, and its top speed is electronically limited to 25 kmph, making it suitable for short-distance travel within city limits or neighborhoods. The scooter comes with a portable 1.44kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, which requires approximately five hours for a full charge, or about four hours to reach 80% capacity.
Key features of the Reo include a keyless start system and reverse assist, enhancing convenience for daily use. While its limited top speed positions it primarily for leisure or very short commutes, its affordability and low running costs are expected to appeal to a segment of buyers looking to mitigate increasing fuel expenses.
