Ampere Electric Vehicles, an EV company, will launch a new electric scooter on June 15, 2020. The details are scarce but we believe that it could be a top-spec variant of the Ampere Magnus, which is already on sale in India. The launch will be held digitally and the prices will be revealed via an online platform. The teaser images put up by the company also show that the model carries an outline similar to the Magnus. The new electric scooter could get more features and could also get a more powerful electric motor.
