Ampere V48
The V48 electric scooter from Ampere is the company’s entry level variant. It is priced at Rs.36,190 and gets updates in terms of LED headlamps and tubeless tyres.
Ampere V48
These updates are especially noteworthy as this scooter has found much demand in rural areas. The LED headlamps therefore offer better visibility and the tubeless tyres present a smoother ride on rural road conditions.
Ampere Electric had recently revealed a new partnership agreement with OTO Capital and Autovert Technologies for faster adoption of electric vehicles in India. These two agencies offer better financing and leasing options, thus making the use of electric vehicles more affordable and accessible to the common man. This comes into play especially during the current pandemic situation in the country when use of personal means of transport is more in demand over public transport systems.
