With the increase in pollution and fuel prices, the electric vehicles are the best possible solution. Now, Ampere has introduced two new scooters with decent riding range and affordable price tag. The only downside is the top speed of the scooters which stand at 25km/h. But the scooters will be useful if you are doing short commutes within city limits.
