The Ampere Magnus Neo, a newly introduced electric scooter by Greaves Electric Mobility, has set a new record. It completed a journey stretching roughly 2,300 km in eight days, traveling from Bengaluru, where Greaves Electric Mobility is headquartered, to New Delhi's Bharat Global Mobility Expo, held at Pragati Maidan.

This remarkable feat has not only placed the scooter in the India Book of Records for the "Longest Journey by a City-Speed Family Electric Scooter" but has also reinforced Ampere's dominant position in the electric two-wheeler sector.

Embarking on this historic ride on January 6, 2025, from Bengaluru and arriving in Delhi on January 15, 2025, the Magnus Neo showcased its robust capabilities by navigating through varied landscapes and weather conditions to reach the Bharat Global Mobility Expo 2025.

Features and Design of Magnus Neo

The Magnus Neo, which is an evolution of the acclaimed Ampere Magnus, embodies the concept of "The Power of More" through significant upgrades in style, power, durability, economy, and safety.
