Greaves Electric Mobility Private Limited (GEMPL) has solidified its dominance in the Indian electric vehicle (EV) market. Its flagship family e scooter, the Ampere Magnus G Max, was officially crowned the ‘Family Scooter of the Year’ at the prestigious Times Drive Auto Summit and Awards 2026.

This accolade cements the Magnus G Max's reputation as India’s best affordable electric scooter under ₹1 Lakh, offering a perfect blend of safety, range, and practicality for the everyday Indian commuter.

Why the Ampere Magnus G Max is the Best Family EV Under ₹1 Lakh

Launched in January 2026, the Magnus G Max was engineered specifically for the diverse needs of Indian households. In a market crowded with high performance but expensive EVs, Greaves Electric Mobility has focused on "Real India" delivering a product that is as durable as it is economical.

Mr. Vikas Singh, Managing Director of Greaves Electric Mobility, expressed his pride in the achievement:

"We are honored to receive this award. At Greaves, we build for real world performance. The Magnus G Max reflects our vision of democratizing access to electric mobility with products that are practical, safe, and dependable for Indian families."

Key Specifications: Performance Meets Safety

The Magnus G Max stands out in the sub ₹1 Lakh segment due to its advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology. Unlike standard lithium-ion batteries, LFP chemistry is known for its thermal stability and longer life cycle, making it ideal for the Indian climate.

Top Features at a Glance:

• Certified Range: An impressive 142 km per charge, reducing range anxiety for daily chores and office runs.

• Battery & Warranty: A 3 kWh IP67-rated LFP battery backed by a class leading 5 year 75,000 km warranty.

• Storage King: A massive 33 litre under seat boot space, perfect for groceries, helmets, and bags.

• Urban Performance: A top speed of 65 kmph with three riding modes: Eco, City, and Reverse.

• Robust Build: Built on a dual frame chassis with hydraulic telescopic front suspension and dual rear shock absorbers for a smooth ride on uneven roads.

A Contemporary Edge for the Modern Rider

Beyond performance, the Magnus G Max offers an aspirational design. It is available in three premium dual tone colors: Matcha Green, Monsoon Blue, and Cinnamon Copper, accented with gold finish badging.

The scooter also embraces modern tech with a 3.5 inch LCD digital cluster, a built-in USB charging port, and optional connected features via a Telematics Control Unit (TCU), ensuring riders stay connected on the go.

A Consistent Winning Streak for Greaves Electric Mobility

The ‘Family Scooter of the Year’ title is the latest in a series of wins for Greaves. Recently, the Magnus Grand E2W was named "Electric Scooter of the Year" by Bike India. With four consecutive industry recognitions across the Nexus and Magnus portfolios, GEML is proving that its innovation pipeline is one of the strongest in the country.

As India shifts toward sustainable transport, the Ampere Magnus G Max provides a compelling, cost effective, and award winning reason for families to finally make the switch to electric.
