In a landmark achievement for sustainable mobility, Greaves Electric Mobility’s Ampere Magnus Neo electric scooter has set a record in the India Book of Records for the “Longest Journey by a City-Speed Family Electric Scooter.” The Magnus Neo completed an extraordinary 2,300 km ride from Bengaluru to the Bharat Global Mobility Expo at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, over eight days, demonstrating its endurance, performance, and reliability.
