Ampere, the electric two-wheeler brand of Greaves Electric Mobility, has expanded its entry-level portfolio with the launch of the Reo VYB electric scooter. Priced at an introductory ₹69,499 (ex-showroom), the scooter is targeted at first-time EV buyers and urban commuters. It will be available in four color options: Warm White, Pastel Purple, Dark Grey, and Aqua Metallic.
The Ampere Reo VYB is powered by a Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery, offering a claimed range of up to 80 km on a single charge. Classified as a low-speed electric scooter, it has a top speed of 25 kmph, meaning it does not require a driving licence or vehicle registration under current regulations. The company also claims the battery is designed to last up to 100,000 km.
Speaking at the launch, Vikas Singh, Managing Director of Greaves Electric Mobility, said, “India’s Tier II and Tier III cities are rapidly becoming part of the EV ecosystem. With the lower upfront cost of low-speed scooters and growing last-mile delivery demand, adoption is expected to increase significantly. The Reo VYB is designed as a practical solution to meet this growing need.”
In terms of features, the scooter comes equipped with a colour LCD instrument cluster, keyless start with a premium key fob, front disc brake, LED headlamp, and LED tail lamp. It also offers 24 litres of under-seat storage. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and a rear damper setup, while propulsion is provided by a hub-mounted electric motor.
Ampere stated that the Reo VYB will be supported by its network of more than 400 service touchpoints across India. The scooter is backed by a 3-year or 30,000 km warranty.
The company believes that with its affordable pricing, user-friendly design, and low operating costs, the Reo VYB will play a significant role in attracting new customers to India’s rapidly growing electric vehicle market.
