Speaking about the other upcoming products from the EV manufacturer, Rajappa further stated that there will be a fully geared product, which will be equipped with a touchscreen and a host of connectivity options, among other features.

Ampere CEO Sanjay Behl also hinted that the company is working on a fully geared electric scooter, which would launch soon. He stated that the EV manufacturing company has been aiming to tap into multiple sub-segments of the rapidly bulging Indian electric scooter market.

On Wednesday, Ampere revealed its product strategy and said it aims to tap both the B2C and B2B segments by introducing scooters in both the private buyer and last-mile delivery categories. Currently, the company sells three electric scooters: Primus, Magnus EX and Zeal EX. However, with an aggressive product strategy, the company aims to launch multiple models in this financial year.
