The Ultimate Endurance Ride is a Sunrise to Sunset journey from India's easternmost point in Dong, Arunachal Pradesh, to westernmost point in Guhar Moti, Gujarat, testing the scooter across different terrain and weather conditions India has
On this World EV Day, Ampere, the electric two-wheeler brand of Greaves Electric Mobility, has embarked on the Ultimate Endurance Ride – a ~4,000 km test of the Ampere Magnus GMax from India's easternmost sunrise point in Dong, Arunachal Pradesh, to westernmost sunset point in Guhar Moti, Gujarat. Ridden by Girish Seth of Weekend on Wheels, the 15-day journey will traverse 8 states, taking the scooter across high-altitude mountain roads, highways, urban stretches, heat, humidity and challenging terrains. Over these 15 consecutive days the Ampere Magnus GMax will face a temperature swing of roughly 20° from around 15°C in the humid, monsoon-hit conditions of Dong to over 35°C in the Gujarat heat – descent of over 1,200 meters from Dong to sea level, and five distinct terrain types – rocky mountain passes, forested hill roads, smooth national highways, dense urban city stretches, and the coastal/salt-flat terrain near Guhar Moti. Every kilometer, every charge and every reading will be recorded.
The expedition brings Ampere’s “Built for Bharat” philosophy to life. India is not one kind of road, one kind of rider or one kind of riding condition – and scooters built for that reality must prove it in the conditions themselves. The Ultimate Endurance Ride takes this philosophy to the road, putting the Ampere Magnus GMax to the test across ~4,000 km across 8 states, from the cold, steep terrain of Arunachal Pradesh to the hot and long stretches of Gujarat. Along the way, the scooter will showcase how its Next Gen LFP battery which offers 2,00,000 km battery life, dual frame chassis and NxG.io smart technology come together to deliver durability, reliability, endurance and connected intelligence.
Speaking about the expedition, Mr. Vikas Singh, Managing Director, Greaves Electric Mobility Limited, said, “At Ampere, ‘Built for Bharat’ is rooted in a simple belief – India is not one kind of road, one kind of rider or one kind of riding condition. It is a country of immense diversity, and our products need to be built with that reality at their core. The Ultimate Endurance Ride takes that belief and tests it. Over ~4,000 km from Dong to Guhar Moti, the Magnus GMax will be put to test the durability, reliability and intelligence capabilities across challenging weather and terrain conditions our customers will ever use. This journey is about demonstrating that when technology, reliability and performance are built around Bharat, electric mobility can become a truly smart ride for India.”
The expedition will also make key stops in Patna, Varanasi and Jaipur, creating opportunities for engagement with Ampere’s dealer network, riders and local stakeholders, while taking the Built for Bharat story into different parts of the country. The completion of the expedition will mark another milestone in Ampere’s effort to demonstrate, why the Ampere Electric Scooters are Bharat Ki Smart Ride.
