Ampere, the Ranipet-based company parented by Greaves Electric Mobility is not at all a newcomer to the world of EVs. With products like the Magnus and Zeal already in the market, it now puts forward its latest flagship offering, the Primus. Claiming to be at par with some of the top premium electric scooters on Indian soil, the Primus does seem to have set high expectations. Now the responsibility lies on our shoulders to put those claims to the test.
At first glance, the Ampere Primus doesn’t really strike as anything out of the ordinary and carries a fairly generic silhouette. The build quality feels fairly sturdy and decent in comparison to most of the new EVs of today. There are certain areas that could do with better quality components, or maybe a slightly refined fit and finish. A few squeaks and creaks were heard during the ride, but nothing to really be worried about.
