Notably, the Nexus boasts a thoughtful design, featuring front air intake and rear exhaust vents to ensure optimal airflow, thus safeguarding its internal components. 

Accentuating its allure, the Ampere Nexus sports distinctive LED headlights and taillights, with Ampere proudly proclaiming the former as the brightest among its contemporaries. The EX variant boasts a 6.2-inch LCD instrument console with basic smartphone connectivity, while the top-tier ST variant elevates the experience with a 7-inch TFT touchscreen display, boasting Bluetooth, WiFi connectivity, and navigation prowess.

Beneath its elegant facade lies a robust steel chassis, augmented by a hybrid cast and tubular swingarm housing the motor. Halting its momentum is a combination of front disc and rear drum brakes, while 12-inch alloy wheels shod with tubeless tires ensure a confident ride.

Avail yourself of the introductory pricing of Rs 1,09,900 for the EX variant and Rs 1,19,900 for the ST variant (both prices ex-showroom Delhi, including EMPS). Post the introductory phase, prices will adjust to Rs 1,19,900 and Rs 1,29,900, respectively. Additionally, purchasers benefit from a 3+2 years extended warranty and round-the-clock roadside assistance.

Excitement awaits as bookings commence at Rs 9,999, with deliveries slated to commence by the end of May 2023. Positioned to rival the Ather Rizta, TVS iQube, Hero Vida V1 Pro, Ola S1 Air, and Bajaj Chetak, the Ampere Nexus stands poised to redefine the electric scooter landscape.
