Greaves Electric Mobility has officially expanded its electric scooter portfolio in India with the launch of the Ampere Magnus Grand Max. Positioned as a practical family scooter, the new model hits the market with an aggressive introductory price of Rs 94,999 (ex showroom).

Also referred to as the Magnus G Max on some platforms, this new EV aims to compete in the sub Rs 1 lakh segment by offering a robust battery pack, significant storage space, and safety focused LFP technology.

Ampere Magnus Grand Max: Battery and Range

The biggest highlight of the new Magnus Grand Max is its powertrain. It is equipped with a 3 kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery. LFP batteries are becoming increasingly popular in the Indian market due to their thermal stability and safety compared to standard NMC batteries.

• Certified Range (IDC): 142 km per charge.

• Real-World Range: Over 100 km (claimed).

• Charging Time: 0 to 80% in approximately 4.5 hours.

• Warranty: 3 years or 75,000 km (whichever comes first).

Motor and Performance Specs

While focused on efficiency, the scooter offers decent city performance. It is powered by a hub mounted motor that delivers a peak power of 2.4 kW (1.5 kW nominal).

• Top Speed: 65 kmph.

• Riding Modes: Eco, City, and Reverse mode for parking ease.

• Suspension: Telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers.

• Brakes: 130mm drum brakes at both ends.

Features and Design

The Ampere Magnus Grand Max is designed for utility. One of its standout features is the massive 33 litre under seat storage, making it one of the most spacious scooters in its price bracket.

Additional features include:

• A 3.5 inch LCD instrument cluster.

• USB charging port.

• LED lighting.

• 165mm ground clearance (ideal for Indian roads).

The scooter is available in three dual tone color options: Monsoon Blue, Matcha Green, and Cinnamon Copper.

At Rs 94,999, the Magnus Grand Max enters a fiercely competitive market. It rivals other affordable electric scooters such as the Bajaj Chetak C2501 (approx. Rs 91,399), the TVS Orbiter, and the Vida VX2 Go.

With its focus on battery safety and high storage capacity, the Magnus Grand Max is positioned as a strong contender for gig workers and families looking for a reliable daily commuter.
