The Ampere is offered with a 15A charger as standard while a 25A fast charger is offered as an optional add-on and allows for a charge time of 3.3 hours.

In terms of design, the Ampere Nexus looks rather like a conventional ICE scooter. At the front, the Nexus features a diamond-cut LED headlight while at the rear, the rectangular taillight with its unique design ensures that your eyes stay glued to it.
The footboard features a unique design inspired by the wings of the Artic Tern. Also seen is a practical frunk while the large under-seat storage can take an XL-sized helmet and a bit more.
