Updated Ampere Magnus G Max details

Update adds practical features like cruise control and hill hold assist

The most notable additions are cruise control and hill hold assist, which prevents the scooter from rolling back while on an incline, making it a practical feature for riders who may struggle with this. The scooter also now features a 5-inch display with turn-by-turn navigation, along with the ability to find or ping the scooter via the phone app, making it easier to locate after parking.

The broader connected ecosystem also includes real-time charging status, live tracking, geofencing, theft and tow alerts, remote diagnostics, service booking, charging history, battery health insights and OTA update capability. All connected features are accessible through the Ampere Connect app.

The underlying mechanical package remains unchanged. The Magnus G Max uses a 3kWh LFP battery with a 2.4kW peak hub-mounted motor, offering a claimed IDC range of 142km and a claimed top speed of 65kph. The battery carries a 5-year/75,000km warranty and is rated for a claimed lifespan of 2,00,000km. The scooter is available in dual-tone colour options, including the new Cinnamon Copper alongside the existing Monsoon Blue and Matcha Green.
