The new Ampere electric scooter, likely dubbed the NXG, has already made headlines by completing two incredible feats on its voyage from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Let's delve into these extraordinary achievements that have earned recognition from the India Book of Records:
Largest Electric Scooter Brand Logo on White Sands
Ampere etched its brand logo onto the white sands of Dholavira, located in the Great Rann of Kutch, using its soon-to-be-launched electric scooter. This outstanding achievement was recorded as "the biggest electric scooter brand logo drawn on the white sands." With dimensions of 179.8 by 95.2 feet and a total perimeter of 394 feet, the logo covered an astonishing 17,100 square feet. The India Book of Records officially confirmed this achievement on February 2, 2024.
Driving a pickup truck with an electric scooter first
Another remarkable record was set by Ampere when the NXG electric scooter successfully towed a pickup truck weighing 1860kg, along with an additional 140kg (equivalent to two passengers in the truck). This historic event took place at the Rann of Kutch on the Road to Heaven, where the electric scooter towed the pickup truck for 2km in just 15 minutes. The India Book of Records officially acknowledged this achievement on February 3, 2024.
Ampere NXG: A Game-Changing Innovation
Initially showcased as a concept at the Auto Expo, the Ampere NXG is now gearing up for its production version launch, likely to be named the ‘Ampere Nexus’ as per a trademark filed by Ampere in April 2023. The trademark status indicates it has been "Accepted and Advertised" by the authorities.
What to Expect
The Ampere NXG is anticipated to hit the market by mid-2024, offering a blend of innovation and performance. With an expected price range between Rs 1.35 lakh and 1.55 lakh (ex-showroom), the e-scooter promises to revolutionize urban mobility. Pre-bookings for the limited K2K edition are now open, allowing enthusiasts to secure their spot by booking directly from Ampere’s website for just Rs 499.
As the Ampere NXG prepares to hit the streets it sets a new standard for electric scooters combining cutting-edge technology with groundbreaking achievements.
