Ampere Nexus EX Plus

Overview

Performance And Motor

The Nexus EX Plus has a mid-mounted electric motor. According to Ampere, it can reach a peak output of 5 kW. The reported output may vary depending on whether it refers to continuous or peak power, or how the specifications are presented. Buyers should check the official invoice and spec sheet to confirm the exact motor rating.

A mid-mounted motor gives the scooter better balance compared to a hub-motor setup. This design helps the scooter feel more stable when you accelerate, turn, ride on rough roads, carry a passenger, or go up flyovers. Ampere says the Nexus can handle slopes up to 18 degrees, which is helpful for steep parking ramps, hilly roads, and city flyovers.

The Nexus EX Plus offers four riding modes: Eco, City, Power, and Limp Home. Eco mode saves energy and limits speed to about 42 km/h, making it good for city rides. City mode allows speeds up to around 63 km/h and is a balanced choice for daily commutes. Power mode lets you reach the full 93 km/h top speed and gives the fastest acceleration. Limp Home mode helps you get to a charger or your destination when the battery is low.

The Nexus goes from 0 to 40 km/h in about 4.5 seconds. This is fast enough to start at traffic lights, overtake slower vehicles, merge into faster lanes, and climb flyovers. It works best for city and suburban use, not for long-distance high-speed rides.

Ampere points out that it holds five national records and has shown the Nexus on different terrains, like Himalayan roads and towing a 2-ton pickup. These stunts show what the motor can do, but buyers should see them as promotional events, not examples of daily use.

The Ampere Nexus EX Plus has a fully automatic electric drivetrain. There is no clutch lever, no foot gear shifter, and no traditional gearbox. You simply twist the throttle, and the motor sends power directly to the rear wheel.

This automatic setup makes the scooter easy to handle in India’s stop-and-go traffic. You do not need to use a clutch in traffic jams, change gears to overtake, or shift down before a flyover. The electric motor’s instant torque also helps you move quickly from traffic lights or when passing slower vehicles.

The scooter has a Reverse mode that helps when you need to back out of a parking spot, move on a slope, or handle tight spaces in apartment or office parking. Since the Nexus weighs about 126.4 kg, this feature makes low-speed moves much easier.

Power mode delivers a stronger throttle response, so use it carefully, especially in rain, on loose gravel, dusty roads, sharp turns, or when carrying a passenger. New riders should get used to the scooter in Eco or City mode before using Power mode often.

The Ampere Nexus EX Plus can reach a claimed top speed of 93 km/h in Power mode. This is much higher than the 45–70 km/h top speeds of most commuter electric scooters, so it handles wide city roads, ring roads, bypasses, suburban routes, and short highway trips better.

Eco mode lets you go up to about 42 km/h, City mode up to 63 km/h, and Power mode unlocks the full 93 km/h. This setup lets you choose efficiency for heavy traffic or more power when the road and traffic allow.

It is not a good idea to ride at 93 km/h all day. Staying near top speed uses more battery, lowers your range, and exposes you to more wind, bumps, and traffic risks. Riding at a steady, moderate speed usually gives the best balance of travel time, comfort, and range.

Range

Ampere says the Nexus EX Plus can go 136 km per charge according to IDC tests. This number is more of a certified comparison than a guarantee that every rider will get 136 km in real traffic.

This range comes from the 3 kWh LFP battery and is easiest to reach if you accelerate gently, use Eco mode, ride at moderate speeds, stick to smooth roads, carry less weight, keep your tyres properly inflated, and have good weather. The range drops if you use Power mode, accelerate quickly, carry a passenger, ride uphill, get stuck in traffic, ride fast, face strong winds, or ride in very hot weather.

The 136 km claim is still good for this type of scooter, but you should not expect to reach that distance every day. To keep your battery healthy and avoid stress, do not run it down to empty often. It is wise to leave some charge in reserve, especially when you are far from known charging spots.

Road tests and owner feedback show that the real-world range is usually less than the 136 km IDC claim. One test in Eco mode got 99.8 km, and other estimates put the real range at about 100–105 km.

Owner feedback varies, as it does for electric scooters. Some users report getting 80 km or 70 km per full charge. Others say they get about 85–90 km in Eco mode, 65–70 km in City, and 55–60 km in Power. These are personal experiences, not official tests, but they show how much road conditions and ride mode affect range.

For India, a good planning estimate is about 90–105 km for calm, mixed riding. If you ride faster, use Power mode, travel on hilly or busy roads, carry a passenger, or accelerate hard, you should expect less. In these tougher conditions, plan for 70–90 km.

For example, if you commute 40 km a day, you’ll usually need to charge every two days, not every day. But if you travel 80–100 km daily, you’ll need reliable overnight or workplace charging and shouldn’t plan your route based on the full 136 km IDC claim.

So, the Nexus EX Plus suits riders who usually travel less than 70–90 km a day and have charging at home or work. It can handle longer trips now and then, but you should plan those based on the real range, not just the IDC figure.

Charging Time

The Nexus EX Plus comes with a standard home charger and is meant to be charged from a regular household outlet. Ampere says it takes about 3 hours and 10 minutes to charge from 0 to 80%. Charging fully from 0 to 100% usually takes around 4 hours, though some real-world tests show it can be as quick as 3 hours 20 to 35 minutes if the power supply is good.

For everyday use, it is safest to plan on four hours for a full charge. Most people will charge overnight, at work, or during a long break instead of waiting by the scooter. Charging to 80% is often enough for daily trips, especially if you travel 30–70 km a day.

Charging time can change depending on the battery’s charge level, battery and room temperature, voltage stability, and the condition of your socket and wiring. Always use a properly earthed socket and avoid loose adapters, cheap extension boards, overloaded circuits, or damaged fittings.

Ampere doesn’t market the Nexus EX Plus as a scooter for public DC fast charging. It’s mainly designed for home or work charging. If you plan to take long trips often, be realistic about charging stops and check for any compatible public chargers before you depend on them.

Features And Technology

The Ampere Nexus EX Plus is a premium electric scooter for India that combines a 3 kWh LFP battery, 5 kW peak motor output, a claimed top speed of 93 km/h, a claimed IDC range of 136 km, and a technology-focused feature package. Its equipment aims to make daily urban and suburban use more convenient, safer, and more connected than a basic electric scooter.

1. Mid-mounted electric motor: The Nexus EX Plus uses a mid-mounted motor rather than a conventional hub-motor layout. Ampere says this arrangement helps create more balanced weight distribution, which can improve stability and control during acceleration, cornering, pothole impacts, flyover climbs, and pillion use.
2. 5 kW peak motor power: Ampere claims 5 kW of peak motor output, with the higher peak output intended to support quicker acceleration and the claimed 93 km/h top speed.
3. High torque claim: The EX Plus is listed with up to 202 Nm of motor torque. As with most electric scooter torque figures, this is best understood as a motor-side claim rather than a direct comparison with a petrol engine’s crankshaft torque. In practice, it contributes to quick initial response in traffic and on gradients.
4. Four riding modes: The scooter offers Eco, City, Power, and Reverse modes. Eco is intended for efficiency, City is designed for everyday commuting, Power provides the strongest response and highest-speed capability, while Reverse assists with slow-speed parking manoeuvres.
5. Reverse parking assistance: Reverse mode allows the scooter to move backwards under motor power at low speed. This is useful when backing out of narrow parking spaces, manoeuvring on slopes, or handling the 126.4 kg scooter in apartment basements and crowded office parking areas.
6. 3 kWh LFP battery: The Nexus EX Plus uses a 3 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. Ampere says its LFP chemistry is engineered for improved thermal stability and a service life of up to 2,00,000 km, though actual life depends on charging behaviour, operating temperature, load, maintenance, and battery-management controls.
7. Nine-feature battery-management system: Ampere describes the battery as being supported by a nine-feature BMS. The system is intended to monitor and manage charging, temperature, voltage, operating limits, and battery protection.
8. IP67 battery protection: The battery is identified as IP67 rated for dust and water protection. This supports use during normal rain and dusty-road conditions, but riders should not interpret the rating as permission to ride through deep, flowing, or unknown floodwater.
9. Five-year battery warranty: Ampere lists a five-year battery warranty or 75,000 km. Buyers should confirm the exact capacity-retention standard, exclusions, water-damage conditions, charging requirements, transfer policy, and claim procedure in the final warranty document.
10. Aeronautics-grade dual-frame steel chassis: Ampere says the Nexus uses a dual-frame chassis made from SPFH 590 steel, described as aeronautics-grade. The company claims the architecture spreads loads across multiple stress paths and is designed to handle daily loads of up to 200 kg.
11. 170 mm ground clearance: The scooter’s 170 mm ground clearance helps with Indian speed breakers, ramp entrances, patchy roads, potholes, and moderately uneven surfaces. It should offer more underbody clearance than many low-slung city scooters.
12. 18-degree gradeability: Ampere claims that the Nexus EX Plus can climb gradients of up to 18 degrees. This should help on flyovers, parking ramps, steep apartment entrances, hill roads, and routes ridden with a pillion or modest luggage.
13. 6.2-inch PMVA cluster: Ampere’s official page lists a 6.2-inch PMVA instrument cluster. The display presents essential riding and vehicle information, including speed, ride mode, battery status, warning alerts, trip information, and distance-related data.
14. Bluetooth and smart-app connectivity: The scooter supports smartphone connectivity through the Ampere Connect app. This enables compatible connected functions and lets the owner access selected vehicle information through a paired phone.
15. Turn-by-turn navigation: Navigation support can display route guidance through the instrument console. This helps riders navigate without continuously looking at a phone mounted on the handlebar.
16. Call and SMS alerts: The Nexus EX Plus can show call and message alerts from a paired smartphone. Riders should avoid reading or interacting with notifications while moving; these features are safest to use only when stopped.
17. Geo-fencing: Geo-fencing lets the owner define a virtual operating area and can support alerts when the vehicle moves outside the chosen boundary. It can help with vehicle monitoring but should not replace physical locks, secure parking, or insurance.
18. Tow alert: The connected feature list includes a tow alert, intended to notify the owner of unexpected movement or possible towing. It is useful for monitoring but depends on connectivity, software status, and the active subscription or service terms.
19. Remote vehicle diagnostics: The scooter supports remote diagnostic functions, allowing compatible system information to be monitored remotely. This may help identify faults or service needs before a workshop visit.
20. Over-the-air firmware updates: Firmware-over-the-air support allows Ampere to deploy eligible software improvements and fixes without requiring every update to be carried out at a service centre. Whether a specific update is available depends on the company’s software rollout and vehicle compatibility.
21. Ride statistics and trip reports: The connected system can provide ride statistics, trip reports, charging history, battery-health information, and battery-calibration reminders. These tools can help owners understand their use pattern and identify inefficient riding or charging habits.
22. Charging-station locator: The EX Plus includes a charging-station locator in its connected feature set. It can help identify listed charging points, although riders should verify whether a point is active, accessible, compatible, and operational before depending on it during a trip.
23. Tyre-pressure monitoring system: The Nexus lists a TPMS. It can alert the rider to low tyre pressure, which can affect handling, braking, range, tyre wear, and stability. Riders should still check tyre pressures manually at regular intervals.
24. Hill-hold function: The Nexus lists a hill-hold feature. It is designed to limit rollback when stopped on a slope, helping on flyovers, ramps, hill roads, and inclined parking areas.
25. Front disc and rear drum brake: The scooter uses a front disc brake and rear drum brake. This configuration is common in the segment and should provide adequate everyday braking when paired with the right tyres, appropriate speed, and regular brake maintenance.
26. Hydraulic telescopic front suspension: The front suspension uses a hydraulic telescopic fork. It is intended to absorb normal urban road imperfections and maintain steering stability over speed breakers and uneven pavement.
27. Dual rear shock absorbers: The rear uses twin shock absorbers to support everyday load carrying and ride comfort. This setup can help riders who regularly carry a passenger or travel on less-than-perfect city roads.
28. 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres: The Nexus rides on 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. This setup supports stability and easier puncture repair compared with tube-type tyres, though a tyre-pressure check remains essential for safe handling and range.
29. Diamond-cut LED headlamp: The scooter uses a diamond-cut LED headlamp design, supported by LED daytime running lights. The LED system gives the Nexus a modern appearance and provides energy-efficient illumination for regular evening commuting.
30. Guide-me-home lighting: Guide-me-home lights are listed among the Nexus’s additional features. They can keep the lights active briefly after parking, which is useful when walking through a dark residential parking area or driveway.
31. 22-litre under-seat storage: The Nexus EX Plus offers 22 litres of under-seat storage. It suits small daily items, documents, a raincoat, a compact bag, or selected helmet types, but buyers should check whether their full-face helmet fits before purchase.
32. 263 mm floorboard space: Ampere lists 263 mm of floorboard space. This improves day-to-day practicality for carrying a backpack, grocery bag, small parcel, or other light items placed securely between the rider’s feet.
33. USB charging port: The EX Plus lists a USB charging port. It can help keep a phone charged during navigation, but riders should use a weather-resistant cable and avoid handling devices while riding.
34. 765 mm seat height: The 765 mm seat height is relatively accessible for many Indian riders. It can make it easier to place one or both feet on the ground during traffic stops, parking, and low-speed turns.

Build Quality

Ampere’s strongest construction claim for the Nexus EX Plus is its dual-frame chassis, made from SPFH 590 steel, which the company describes as aeronautics-grade. Ampere says the dual-frame layout distributes loads across multiple stress paths rather than concentrating them in one area, and claims the structure can handle daily loads of up to 200 kg. This should matter for Indian users who regularly carry a pillion, ride on uneven roads, cross speed breakers, or carry bags and other routine loads.

The chassis comes with 170 mm of ground clearance, a practical advantage on Indian roads. This clearance should help reduce the likelihood of scraping the underside over taller speed breakers, ramp entrances, potholes, rough urban lanes, and mildly uneven rural-road sections. It does not make the Nexus an off-road scooter, but it gives it more confidence over typical broken-road obstacles than a very low-slung urban EV.

The 3 kWh LFP battery is another notable part of the scooter’s engineering package. Ampere says the battery is designed for up to 2,00,000 km and is supported by a nine-feature battery-management system. LFP battery chemistry is generally valued for thermal stability and cycle life, which is useful in Indian conditions involving heat, repeated charging, long parking periods, and daily urban use. The standard battery warranty is listed as five years or 75,000 km, subject to the final terms and exclusions.

The Nexus has a notable visible fit and finish, with well-aligned panels, no obvious gaps, and premium-feeling switchgear. Panel fit, switch feel, exposed wiring, charging-port fitment, seat latch operation, and display response all strongly influence the day-to-day ownership experience.

Inspect the scooter at delivery for body-panel alignment, paint quality, floorboard trim, handlebar plastics, switchgear, seat and boot latch operation, charger-port flap, display responsiveness, brakes, wheel finish, tyre manufacturing date, suspension noises, and connected-feature activation before accepting the scooter.

Handling

The Nexus EX Plus should feel light, neutral, and easy to use in everyday traffic. Its mid-mounted motor places more mass centrally than a hub-motor scooter, and Ampere says this improves weight distribution. Combined with the 12-inch wheels, 90-section tyres, relatively accessible 765 mm seat height, and scooter-style ergonomics, the layout is intended to make the Nexus easy to guide through dense city roads, U-turns, narrow lanes, and parking areas.

The handling is one of the scooter’s strengths. The Nexus is comfortable and nimble, making it easy to move through traffic and offering a good balance between ride comfort and handling. It feels light and nimble, turns into corners easily, and has tyres that provide reassuring grip for normal or mildly spirited riding.

The combined effect of the mid-mounted motor, 12-inch wheels, tyres, and firmer suspension produces capable handling. The scooter can be cornered at reasonable lean angles, and the relatively firm suspension aids control. For a family-oriented electric scooter, this means the Nexus should feel more composed on wide city roads and sweeping turns than a softer, more comfort-focused scooter.

At very low speeds, the 126.4 kg kerb weight is not excessive by premium electric-scooter standards, and the reverse function can help in tight parking or on inclines. Still, buyers should test full-lock turns, reversing, centre-stand use, moving the scooter on a ramp, and parking with a pillion, since these situations reveal more about practical manageability than a short ride on open roads.

Braking uses a front disc and rear drum arrangement. The brakes are effective once applied firmly, though they may need a stronger lever pull to extract the full stopping performance and may lack a sharp initial bite. The stopping power is decent, but the system is not as sharp as some premium EV competitors and could offer better lever feedback. Riders should use progressive braking, maintain additional space in rain or dust, and remember that ABS is not listed for the Nexus.

Comfort

Comfort is one of the Nexus EX Plus’s principal strengths for city and family use. It has a 765 mm seat height, which should be approachable for a wide range of riders and makes frequent traffic stops less intimidating. Its long, wide, single-piece seat is designed for two occupants and accommodates two adults well.

The Nexus’s seat is large and roomy for two people, well padded, long, and wide enough for two well-built adults, making it suitable for ordinary two-up commuting, school runs, local errands, and short suburban travel.

The suspension configuration consists of a telescopic front fork and twin rear shock absorbers. At ordinary city speeds, the ride is controlled and comfortable. The setup handles unexpected bumps well and irons out most road imperfections at low speeds. It feels plush on smooth tarmac and handles routine bumps and potholes reasonably well.

The compromise is that the rear suspension is relatively firm. Potholes can feel harsh, especially when riding solo, although it becomes more compliant with a pillion because of the additional rear load. Harder impacts at higher speeds can also produce an occasional sharp thud. The suspension is on the stiffer side, which improves cornering support but can reduce comfort on badly damaged roads.

This means the Nexus EX Plus is likely to be comfortable on smooth urban roads, moderate broken patches, speed breakers taken at sensible speeds, and routine suburban routes. It is less likely to feel plush over deep potholes, rough construction zones, sharp-edged bumps, or fast rides on severely damaged roads. Assess the scooter on the roads you use most often rather than relying only on a showroom ride.

Taller riders should also check ergonomics carefully. Users noted that riders above approximately 5 ft 11 in may find their knees touch the handlebar during U-turns. This may not affect average-height riders, but it can be important in tight traffic manoeuvres. A proper test ride should include a pillion, low-speed U-turns, speed breakers, rough patches, a flyover, and at least 20–30 minutes in the saddle to evaluate seat support, rear-suspension firmness, legroom, and control comfort in realistic Indian conditions.

Styling

The Ampere Nexus EX Plus uses a contemporary scooter design rather than a retro-inspired shape. Its visual identity centres on a wide front apron, a sharply contoured LED headlamp area, integrated daytime-running-light elements, a compact windscreen section, and a broad handlebar cowl that gives it a more substantial appearance than a basic commuter EV.

From the side, the Nexus has conventional family-scooter proportions: a flat and usable floorboard, a long one-piece seat, full body-coloured panels, pillion footrests, and a gently rising rear section. This layout looks practical as well as premium, rather than aggressively sporty. The 12-inch alloy wheels and 170 mm ground clearance also give it a planted stance suited to Indian speed breakers, potholes, ramps, and uneven city streets.

The front uses a diamond-cut LED headlamp design with LED DRLs, while the rear receives an LED tail-lamp treatment. These lighting elements add a more upmarket look, especially after dark, and set the Nexus apart from simpler halogen-equipped scooters. The overall design is clean and approachable, intended to appeal to individual riders and families rather than only younger performance-focused buyers.

The 765 mm seat height, 263 mm floorboard space, 22-litre under-seat storage, and long seat also shape the scooter’s visual and practical design. The Nexus lacks the compact, tightly packaged look of a sporty electric scooter; instead, it has a broader, more functional silhouette that suits commuting, errands, and regular pillion use.

Colour Options And Variants

The EX Plus is available in two colour options:

1. Carbon Knight
2. Steel Grey

These are the most relevant colours for the current EX Plus listing and should be treated as the primary reference for buyers.

Carbon Knight is the darker, more dramatic finish. Ampere describes it as “a futuristic rendition of a secret warrior class from India’s history.” Visually, it gives the Nexus EX Plus a more technical, premium look, with the dark bodywork helping the LED lighting, wheels, trim, and body contours stand out. It likely suits buyers who prefer a stealthier, more modern-looking electric scooter.

Steel Grey is the more understated option. Ampere says it draws inspiration from India’s industrial reliability, and the finish matches the Nexus’s practical, solid design. It is likely to appeal to riders who want a mature colour that is less noticeable than a bright finish but still fits the scooter’s premium image.

The Nexus EX Plus is the featured variant. Mandatory accessory costs are additional, so buyers should request a final written quotation that separates ex-showroom price, insurance, registration, accessories, extended warranty, and any connected-service charges.

For buyers specifically considering the Nexus EX Plus, the key point is to verify the actual variant name printed on the quotation and invoice. Confirm that the scooter includes the expected 3 kWh LFP battery, 5 kW peak-power claim, 136 km IDC range claim, 93 km/h top-speed claim, 6.2-inch PMVA display, four riding modes, 22-litre storage, and the selected Carbon Knight or Steel Grey finish.

Value For Money And Pricing

Ampere lists the Nexus EX Plus at ₹ 1,29,999 across Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and other Indian states. This is the stated starting price; Ampere specifies that mandatory accessory costs are additional. The final on-road price will vary by state because of insurance, registration-related expenses where applicable, dealer handling, accessory charges, extended-warranty choices, and local offers.

The Nexus EX Plus has an ex-showroom price of ₹1,29,999 and an approximate on-road price in Delhi of ₹1,63,142. This on-road figure is only indicative; buyers should obtain a dated, itemised quotation from their nearest Ampere dealer before booking.

The quotation should clearly separate the scooter’s ex-showroom price from required accessories, insurance, any registration charges, charger inclusion, connected-service fees, delivery charges, extended warranty, and finance costs. Do not compare a low advertised price with another scooter’s final on-road price unless both include the same items.

The Nexus EX Plus makes the strongest case for buyers who need a capable daily-use electric scooter with enough speed and range for city and suburban travel. Its 5 kW peak-output mid-mounted motor, 93 km/h claimed top speed, 136 km IDC range claim, 170 mm ground clearance, 22-litre under-seat storage, 263 mm floorboard space, and 765 mm seat height make it more versatile than a basic 45–60 km/h city scooter.

The LFP battery is a key differentiator. Ampere states that the 3 kWh pack is engineered for up to 2,00,000 km of battery life and includes a five-year/75,000 km warranty, supported by a nine-feature battery-management system. The real value of this claim depends on the written warranty terms and the owner’s use pattern, but LFP chemistry, a long battery warranty, and a claimed focus on thermal stability are useful attributes for hot-weather Indian ownership.

The scooter also offers practical ownership features that add value: a mid-mounted motor for better balance, reverse mode, four riding modes, hill-hold support, turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth-enabled functions, geo-fencing, tow alerts, TPMS, OTA updates, and a charging-station locator. These features make the EX Plus feel more complete than an entry-level electric scooter, especially for riders who commute daily or share the scooter within a family.

However, the Nexus EX Plus is not the best choice for every rider. Its 136 km IDC figure is a certified comparison claim, not a daily guarantee.Independent Indian testing and owner feedback show that the practical range is usually closer to 80–105 km, depending on speed, rider weight, mode, traffic, road condition, terrain, tyre pressure, and pillion use. Buyers who regularly travel more than about 70–90 km a day should have reliable home or workplace charging and keep a realistic reserve.

The Nexus EX Plus also competes with better-known rivals that have wider service networks or stronger brand recognition in some cities. It lacks ABS, even though it claims a 93 km/h top speed, and users have said the brake feel is adequate but not especially sharp. Its final value depends a lot on local Ampere service support, dealer quality, real-world range on your daily route, and the final on-road price.

For someone who rides about 30–60 km most days, has secure parking and a proper charging point, sometimes carries a pillion, and values comfortable seating with useful technology, the Nexus EX Plus can be a good value. If your commute is only 15–25 km daily, a less expensive electric scooter may offer similar running-cost benefits for less upfront money.

The Nexus EX Plus competes mainly with premium practical electric scooters such as:

1. TVS iQube
2. Ather Rizta
3. Bajaj Chetak 3501
4. Ola S1 Pro
5. Ola S1 X

These alternatives target slightly different types of Indian buyers: some prioritise family comfort and service reach, others focus on technology, range, boot space, speed, or initial price.

The Ampere Nexus EX Plus is a strong choice for Indian buyers who want one electric scooter for commuting, errands, pillion trips, suburb-to-city travel, and occasional faster-road use. Its starting price is reasonable if you will benefit from its 93 km/h claimed speed, stronger motor, extra range, practical seat and floorboard, and extended battery warranty.

Pick the Nexus EX Plus over a cheaper EV if you often ride beyond short neighbourhood distances, regularly carry a passenger, deal with uneven roads or speed breakers, and have reliable charging at home or work. Choose a TVS iQube, Ather Rizta, or Bajaj Chetak instead if local service, brand familiarity, specific storage needs, or a particular riding feel are more important to you than the Nexus’s performance and LFP-battery features. For any option, compare final on-road prices, take a test ride on local roads with a pillion if needed, and check the nearest authorised service centre before buying.
