Not many of you might have heard of Ampere which is a part of Greaves Electric Mobility. The company made quite a splash at the 2023 Auto Expo where they launched the Ampere Primus which is their flagship electric scooter. Priced at Rs 1.09 lakh ex-showroom, Delhi, the Primus takes on all the established players.
When we talk of design, Ampere has delved the simple and straightforward way. The Primus looks like your everyday machine and comes complete with a sleek front apron that houses indicators and some chrome embellishments. The front mudguard too is designed to do a job that it does well.
Front suspension duties are taken care of by telescopic forks and then there are the 12in alloy wheels which look good.
Surprisingly there are no disc brakes offered with the Primus. The handlebar houses the headlamp and right below sits the LED DRL. The good thing is that Ampere has not omitted the headlight on/off switch. So one can rightfully make use of the DRL and conserve as much energy as possible by switching off the headlamps during the day. In profile too the design is nothing to write about.
