Affordable electric mobility continues to attract buyers across the country, and Ampere has now added a new option to its portfolio. The company has launched the Reo VYB electric scooter at an introductory price of Rs 69,499 (ex-showroom).
The new scooter sits above the Reo 80 in the brand’s lineup and brings a more modern design along with several convenience features. Since it belongs to the low-speed electric scooter category, it can be ridden without a driving licence or vehicle registration.
Battery, Motor And Range
Powering the Reo VYB is a 1.44kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack paired with a 250W hub motor.
Ampere states that the scooter can travel up to 80km on a single charge under IDC testing conditions. The company also claims that users can expect close to this figure in everyday riding situations.
The battery can be charged completely in about 5.5 hours.
