Ampere, a leading name in India’s electric two-wheeler market, has launched the Reo 80 — an ultra-affordable, license-free electric scooter priced at just ₹59,900. Built by Greaves Electric Mobility Limited (GEML), the Reo 80 brings electric mobility to the heart of India with a clear focus on accessibility, safety, and affordability. Designed for daily riders, students, and senior citizens, it aims to redefine last-mile transportation in Indian cities and towns.
With deliveries set to begin across India from April 2025, the Ampere Reo 80 arrives at a time when cost-conscious and environmentally-aware commuting solutions are in high demand.
Designed to Empower the Everyday Rider
Ampere’s Reo 80 is part of its broader ‘Har Gully Electric’ mission — a vision to electrify every street and corner of India with smart, inclusive transportation. What makes the Reo 80 especially impactful is its license-free and registration-free classification, making it a perfect option for:
- School and college-going students
- Senior citizens who seek safe and easy mobility
- Families needing a second scooter for daily errands
- Delivery workers and small business operators in dense urban areas
With a top speed capped below 25 km/h, the Reo 80 complies with government norms that exempt it from license and registration requirements, making it a truly hassle-free ride.
Key Features of the Ampere Reo 80
Despite its low price, the Reo 80 packs several smart and essential features that enhance its everyday usability and safety:
- LFP (Lithium Ferro Phosphate) Battery: Known for better thermal stability and safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, it ensures longer life and consistent performance.
- Front Disc Brake: Adds improved stopping power, essential for urban traffic conditions.
- Keyless Start: Comes with a stylish keyfob for ease of use and added convenience.
- Digital LCD Display: Bright and easy-to-read cluster showing speed, battery level, and ride status.
- Sporty Dual-Tone Color Options: Available in Black, Red, Blue, and White, giving it a stylish edge.
- Alloy Wheels: A premium touch that boosts ride quality and overall aesthetics.
- Range: Capable of delivering up to 80 km on a single charge, ideal for intra-city commuting.
Ampere has managed to deliver these premium features without inflating the price, ensuring that first-time EV buyers don’t have to compromise on quality or safety.
Performance Tailored for City Travel
With a top speed of less than 25 km/h, the Reo 80 is clearly not built for highways — and that’s exactly the point. It is purpose-built for urban commutes, where lower speed enhances safety while also qualifying it for relaxed regulatory requirements.
The electric motor delivers a silent and smooth ride, perfect for navigating city traffic, small alleys, and school zones. The scooter’s light frame ensures easy handling, especially for younger riders and seniors.
Charging can be done conveniently at home or at work, adding to its ease of ownership.
Built for the Budget-Conscious
At ₹59,900, the Ampere Reo 80 is among the most affordable electric scooters in India, undercutting many rivals in the low-speed EV segment. But its true value lies not just in its sticker price, but also in its low running and maintenance costs. Since it’s electric:
- There’s no need for petrol
- Fewer mechanical parts mean reduced servicing expenses
- No pollution, no emissions, and silent operation
These benefits make it a highly economical option in the long run, especially for daily users clocking regular short distances.
A Boost for Ampere’s Momentum
The Reo 80 launch comes on the back of a strong performance by Greaves Electric Mobility, which reported 52% month-on-month sales growth in March 2025, crossing the 6,000-unit mark as per VAHAN data. This growth reflects rising consumer confidence in the Ampere brand, driven by consistent product delivery, accessible pricing, and a strong retail presence.
Ampere already enjoys a growing footprint across India, with dedicated EV dealerships and service centers. The Reo 80’s launch further strengthens its position in the mass-market electric scooter space.
No License, No Registration – Just Ride
What sets the Reo 80 apart in a crowded market is its regulatory simplicity. Because it is categorized under low-speed electric scooters, it does not require a driving license, RC (Registration Certificate), or road tax. This brings it within reach of millions who are either not eligible for licenses or seek an easier, more flexible mobility solution.
It’s a practical option for:
- Parents looking for a safe and legal first scooter for their children
- Seniors looking for independence in daily transport
- Housewives managing local errands
- Urban professionals looking for a second ride for city commutes
Final Thoughts: Democratizing Electric Mobility
With the launch of the Ampere Reo 80, Greaves Electric Mobility has addressed a huge, untapped market in India: affordable, reliable, and regulation-free urban mobility. It’s more than just a scooter — it’s a mobility enabler that opens the EV revolution to people from all walks of life.
Ampere has proven that electrification doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. The Reo 80 is proof that electric mobility can be smart, safe, and accessible — all for under ₹60,000. As deliveries begin in April 2025, the Reo 80 is set to electrify India’s streets, one gully at a time.
