Greaves Electric Mobility has introduced a refreshed version of the Ampere Magnus Neo in India for 2026. While the name remains unchanged, this update focuses on enhancing the scooter’s visual appeal and urban rideability rather than overhauling its mechanical core.
The 2026 iteration maintains its aggressive positioning in the affordable electric scooter segment, with prices continuing to start at ₹86,999 (ex-showroom).
The updates are primarily cosmetic and ergonomic, aimed at making the Magnus Neo a more modern and “easy-to-handle” family scooter.
- Fresh Colour Palette: To appeal to a younger, urban audience, Ampere has introduced four contemporary shades:
- Mystic Mauve
- Butter Yellow
- Ocean Blue
- Matcha Green
- Lighter Construction: The 2026 model features a reduced kerb weight of 103 kg (down from 106–108 kg in previous versions). This lighter build is specifically designed to improve manoeuvrability in stop-and-go city traffic.
- Improved Ergonomics: The seat height remains accessible at 777 mm, but Greaves has refined the rider positioning and seat cushioning to provide a more comfortable experience for extended daily use.
- Smoother Handling: A new wheel and motor configuration (utilizing a 10-inch rear tyre) has been introduced to ensure more stable handling and balanced acceleration across varied road conditions.
Beneath the new paint schemes, the Magnus Neo retains the reliable hardware that has made it a staple in the sub-₹1 lakh category.
| Feature | Specification |
| Battery Capacity | 2.3 kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) |

The Magnus Neo continues to offer the same utility features that its core audience—students and office commuters—values:
- Storage: A 22-litre under-seat storage compartment.
- Tech: A 3.5-inch LCD instrument console and a dedicated USB charging port.
- Durability: The LFP battery is tested for extreme Indian temperatures (ranging from -40°C to 60°C) and comes with a class-leading 5-year or 75,000 km warranty.
The 2026 Ampere Magnus Neo update is a textbook “refresh.” By keeping the price stagnant at ₹86,999, Greaves Electric Mobility is ensuring that it remains a high-value alternative to competitors like the Ola S1 X and the TVS iQube. For riders who want a simple, durable, and now more colorful commuter, the Magnus Neo remains a solid “no-nonsense” choice
