Ampere Reo

If you're planning to switch to an electric scooter for daily rides and family use, the Ampere Reo VYB might just be the perfect fit. Built by Greaves Electric Mobility Limited in Coimbatore, this scooter is all easy to buy, easy to ride, and even easier to maintain.

And the best part? You don’t even need a license to ride it. We took the Ampere Reo VYB out for a spin around the city, and here’s everything we think you should know before making a decision.

• The Reo VYB looks quite stylish at first glance. It’s got that “premium feel” even though it's a budget electric scooter. This makes it perfect for city rides without looking boring.
• We really liked the futuristic front design. The 4 different colours give it a fun, modern vibe. Ampere has done a commendable job at an affordable price. 
• That LED headlamp adds a cool touch at night. It’s bright enough for narrow lanes and gives the scooter a sharp look when seen from a distance.

• Apart from this, the scooter features halogen indicators on the handlebar sit neatly on top. They actually reminded us of old-school scooter charm.

• The back of the scooter reminded us a bit of the TVS iQube. It’s got a simple, stylish look that most people will find familiar and nice.

• The Ampere Reo comes with a 1.44 kWh LFP battery with a 2.5kW peak power motor. It offers smooth and efficient performance for short urban rides. 
• The Ampere scooter offers a real world range of 80 km/charge. This makes it ideal for managing your routine neighborhood errands and short urban trips on a single charge. 
• For short daily rides, it’s just right. We used it all day for errands and still had 22% charge left in the evening.
• This Ampere scooter takes around 5 hours and 30 minutes to charge fully. The simple setup allows it to charge conveniently charge at home.

• Since it goes only 25 kmph, you don’t need a license or registration. Just charge it and ride all day. 
• You don’t require any RTO work or papers. Just plugged it in at night and used it next morning. This makes it a great pick for students above 16, senior citizens and even for women. 
• We took it to the market and there was no noise, no gears, just a smooth and peaceful ride.

• The Reo VYB’s 3.5 inch colour LCD screen looks really sharp and premium. It feels cool checking speed and battery while riding around town.
• The scooter also comes with a keyless start, which is super convenient. We just hopped on and rode off.
• It comes with front disc brakes and 12 inch front and 10 inch rear wheels, which made our city ride feel stylish and safe.
• During our test ride, the braking was sharp and confident, especially during sudden stops at crowded signals.
• We loved the two small front pockets, which easily held a phone and sunglasses during our ride to a cafe.
• The Ampere Reo VYB also features a USB charging port, which is very convenient for riders in emergencies. 
• There’s a little hook between the pockets where you can hang a grocery bag. This feature is really handy for market trips.
• The 24 litre underseat storage is sufficient enough to easily store your daily riding gear and essential personal items when the vehicle is parked. 

• The good thing is that the footboard is spacious, and it can carry two big shopping bags without any struggle.

• The Reo VYB feels super light and easy to ride. We zipped through tight traffic, its 75 kg kerb weight, and easy handling make it a great option for city commutes.
• We rode it through narrow lanes and over small bumps, and it handled everything smoothly for a slow-speed scooter.

• Getting on and off is really easy. Even your older family member will have no trouble at all.
• The front telescopic and rear dual shock suspension is decent for daily city roads. We hit a few potholes but stayed balanced without any scary jolts.

• At Rs 71,999 ex-showroom, the Ampere Reo VYB is one of the most affordable electric scooters in the market today.
• This pricing is ideal for students, college-goers, working professionals, or even families who need a second scooter at home.
• Being a low-speed electric scooter, it keeps your daily running costs minimal and requires very little maintenance. 

Let’s be honest. Not everyone wants a fast, high-performance EV with fancy tech. Sometimes, you just want something simple, practical, and affordable. That’s exactly where the Reo VYB shines.

If you need a daily runabout for groceries, school drops, or office commutes remains under 70 km a day, this scooter makes a lot of sense. It’s lightweight, looks good, doesn’t need registration, and the affordable price tag makes it one of the best options in India’s EV space.
