Ampere has launched the Magnus G Max, a new electric scooter made for everyday city riding and family use. The brand keeps the message simple. This scooter aims to feel easy to own, easy to ride, and easy to live with.
You get a clear price tag up front. You get a bigger battery. And you get a large under-seat boot that suits real errands.
Ampere Magnus G Max price and where it sits in the market
The introductory ex-showroom price is ₹94,999. So yes, the Magnus G Max lands in the most competitive part of the electric scooter space. It sits close to popular petrol scooters too, and that pushes buyers to compare value very closely.
At this price, most people want three things. A range that covers normal weekly travel. Storage that works for shopping and daily carry. And a warranty that feels reassuring.
Ampere tries to hit all three.
Battery and range: the numbers that matter for commuting
The Magnus G Max comes with a 3 kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery. LFP packs have earned a good reputation for durability, and many brands now use them for stress-free daily ownership.
Ampere highlights two range figures:
- A certified range of over 142 km
- A 100+ km real-world range claim in Eco mode
That second number is the one most riders care about. City riding eats range faster. Traffic lights, slow moving cars, and frequent braking all add up. So a “true” 100 km target feels more useful than a lab-style headline.
A lot of riders cover 10 to 25 km in a normal day. So even a real 80 to 100 km range window can handle a few days of commuting and quick errands before a full top-up.
Charging time: simple for home use
Ampere lists a 20% to 80% charge time of 4.5 hours.
That fits an everyday routine. Plug it in after work. Let it charge through the evening. Then ride the next morning with a healthy battery level.
Small detail, but it matters. Home charging feels smooth only when your parking spot sits near a socket. If the socket is far away, the daily routine gets annoying fast.
33 litres of storage: the “real life” feature
Ampere places a big spotlight on one feature. The 33-litre under-seat boot.
Storage shapes the daily experience more than people expect. A roomy boot helps you carry groceries, rain gear, a backpack, or small tools. It also reduces the need to hang heavy bags on the handlebar, and that feels safer in traffic.
For a family scooter, this space can be the deciding factor. You stop thinking about “how will I carry this,” and you just ride.
Motor output and top speed
The Magnus G Max uses a hub-mounted motor. Ampere lists:
- 1.5 kW nominal output
- 2.4 kW peak output
- Up to 65 km/h top speed
This setup targets city needs, not racing vibes. You get enough speed for normal urban roads. You also get a stable pace in traffic, and that is what most people want.
Is 65 km/h enough for daily riding? Yes, for most city routes it is. Riders spend most of their time far below that speed anyway.
Ride modes and reverse mode
Ampere offers Eco and City ride modes, plus Reverse.
Eco mode targets maximum range. City mode feels more responsive, so it can help during quick merges and small gaps in traffic. Reverse mode sounds basic, but it saves effort in tight parking spots and crowded lanes.
And in real life, those tiny daily moments add up.
Ground clearance and comfort: built for rough streets
Ampere lists a dual frame chassis and 165 mm ground clearance. That ground clearance helps on tall speed breakers and uneven road patches, which many riders deal with every single day.
Ampere also mentions:
- Hydraulic telescopic front suspension
- Dual rear shock absorbers
This suspension setup aims for comfort and control at city speeds. A smoother ride reduces fatigue on longer commutes. It also helps when you ride with a passenger, which is common for family-focused scooters.
A short test ride still matters. Five minutes can tell you a lot about seat comfort, posture, and how the scooter feels over bumps.
Display, lights, and daily-use features
Ampere equips the Magnus G Max with a 3.5-inch LCD digital cluster and LED lighting. You also get a USB charging port, which is useful on long days.
These features feel practical, not flashy. You glance down and see your speed and battery status clearly. Then you plug in your phone during a commute. You ride home after sunset with lighting that looks bright and clean.
Some variants may include connected features through a telematics unit, based on what the dealer offers in your area.
Warranty: a big confidence boost
Ampere backs the battery with a five-year or 75,000 km warranty.
That matters a lot. The battery is the most expensive part of an electric scooter. So a longer warranty reduces the fear of surprise costs later.
Before you book, ask the dealer for the warranty terms in writing. Check what the warranty covers. Check what it excludes. Clear paperwork makes ownership calmer.
Who the Ampere Magnus G Max is for
The Magnus G Max suits riders who want convenience first. It fits:
- Office commuters who want dependable range
- Families who share one scooter for errands
- Riders who carry bags often and want that 33L boot
- Buyers who want a long battery warranty under ₹1 lakh
It does not target thrill-seekers. It targets people who want a steady daily ride that feels simple.
And if you ride in places with tighter rules, stay alert to local enforcement changes too. For example, you can read this guide on Cayman e-bike and scooter enforcement starting March 1, 2026, so you know what riders should do ahead of time.
What to check at the dealership
A quick checklist keeps the decision grounded:
- Confirm your city’s on-road price and fees
- Check the charger details and cable length
- Open the boot and test your real items inside
- Ask about service coverage near your home
- Ride over a speed breaker and rough patch during the test ride
That’s it. Keep it simple, and check what matters in your daily routine.
Ampere’s Magnus G Max comes in with a clear plan. It offers usable range, a large boot, and a warranty that builds trust. So for many riders, it can feel like a smart move into electric ownership without stress.
