A new case has arisen with e-scooter users reporting issues
Points to consider
- Ampere scooters owned by the renowned company, Greaves Cotton priced at 1.04 lakhs have been reported to break from the main frame of the chassis
- Replacement parts for the gusset plate were provided by the company in order to resolve the issue.
- As illustrated in the recent Meerut case, where a former dealer complains that the company pulls the wool over consumers’ eyes in the name of free repairs and replacements. As a result, riders’ lives are at risk while providing a temporary solution.
- Overall, 65000 cases of vehicle breakage have been filled by electric scooters The companies are working to ensure future products do not face the same defects.
Electric vehicle damage is nothing new in electric vehicle history. Fires in Ola cars and front suspension problems have worried us many times. However, now one more problem has surfaced: cracks in the chassis, and customers die before riding an electric scooter. I feel in danger. These incidents recreate how a rotten apple hurts a friend.
Meerut’s Chassis Breakdown
Since the Ola front suspension incident was brought to light, the electric scooter breakage issue has received attention. Ampere is now leading cases where its popularity has halved in states such as UP, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
In the latest case of Ampere Magnus Aix, the owner was riding a scooter with her 4-year-old child when the breakage occurred. Surprisingly, the scooter’s rear appears to be grounded. Fortunately, the owner and his son survived the accident unharmed. But unfortunately, the electric scooter chassis seems irreparable. This isn’t the first time such an accident has happened, as a similar accident in February saw a scooter split in two in Uttar Pradesh.
Scooters use cheap quality products
This incident is a perfect case study of how the company uses low-quality products that are too fragile to handle slight road bumps.
This raises some concerns like:
- Are the companies using high-quality during certification stages and later passing cheap quality to consumers?
- Are they using imported products extensively on vehicles made for the Indian market?
- If these two conditions satisfy the problem caused by Ampere vehicles, how can a customer feel safe while riding
Specs for the Ampere Magnus Ex
The electric vehicle is equipped with a 2.1 kW hub electric motor that continuously accelerates to an exemplary top speed of 50-53 km/h. Powered by a robust 60V 38.25Ah Lithium-Ion battery, the Magnus EX guarantees an incredible 80-100km maximum range.
Final remarks
As a result of these incidents, Ampere Magnus EX electric scooters seem to be a product of extremely low reliability and safety standards, bringing into question the very existence of such a product.
