Ampere launches Reo VYB electric scooter at Rs. 69,499 entry price
Ampere, the electric two-wheeler brand of Greaves Electric Mobility Limited (a subsidiary of Greaves Cotton), has launched the Reo VYB, an entry-level electric scooter priced at Rs. 69,499. The scooter is powered by a Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery and delivers up to 80 km of true range on a single charge.
Bengaluru-headquartered Ampere announced the launch of the Reo VYB on June 17, 2026, targeting young urban riders and first-time EV buyers seeking a safe, simple, and accessible entry into electric mobility. Designed to address everyday urban commuting needs, the Reo VYB is positioned within Ampere's family scooter portfolio at an introductory price of Rs. 69,499. The scooter is available in four colours — Warm White, Pastel Purple, Dark Grey, and Aqua Metallic — giving the product a design-forward appeal that complements its practical specifications.
The Reo VYB is equipped with an LFP battery, a chemistry known for superior thermal stability and safety compared to conventional lithium-ion chemistries. This positions the scooter as a safer option for first-time EV users who may have concerns about battery-related risks. Technical specifications include a maximum speed of 25 kmph, a true riding range of up to 80 km, and a battery rated for up to 1,00,000 km of operational life — making it one of the more durable propositions in the entry-level electric two-wheeler segment.
From an ESG perspective, the Reo VYB's launch at a sub-Rs. 70,000 price point is significant for the electrification of India's mass two-wheeler segment. Price accessibility is the primary barrier to EV adoption among first-time buyers and low-income urban commuters, and Ampere's entry-level positioning directly addresses this. Widespread adoption of electric two-wheelers at this price tier would materially reduce urban tailpipe emissions, improve air quality, and lower fuel expenditure for millions of daily commuters — making affordable EVs a core social and environmental intervention in India's mobility transition.
Key figure — Rs. 69,499
