Ampere Primus First Ride Review | Range, Performance, Features | Can It Take On Premium E-Scooters?9 Apr, 2023 2721 views
Ampere Primus Pros and Cons
Primus Advantages
Spacious seat, Smooth power delivery in all riding modes, Good price to performance ratio
Primus Disadvantages
Drum brakes feel inadequate given the scooter’s 130kg weight, Plastics quality feels sub-par in places, Low-set handlebar will foul with knees while taking U-turns, Instrument console feels too basic
Primus Expert's Conclusion
The Primus offers fairly decent performance and features, but for a little more money you can get more premium e-scooters like the base TVS iQube and Ola S1. Ultimately the Primus is an adequately capable, but forgettable, electric scooter.
