In the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market, safety remains a top priority for consumers. The Nexus, India’s first high-performance family electric scooter, is setting new benchmarks in safety with its innovative features and robust design. This article explores how Nexus has integrated safety into every aspect of its construction. With the 165 engineering legacy of Greaves and a pan-India ever-growing customer base, safety has to be at the helm of all our innovations.
The Safe Battery Tech
At the core of Nexus's safety features is the battery which is made from the safest chemistry called Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP). Known for its stability and reliability, this battery offers superior safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries, along with 1.3 times longer cycle life. The battery also boasts an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring reliability in various weather conditions.
The Safe Structural Integrity
Nexus takes pride in its industry-leading frame design. The scooter boasts an exoskeleton that is four times stronger than standard models, providing the strongest-in-class chassis for enhanced rider protection. This robust construction gives riders peace of mind, knowing they're protected by superior engineering.
The Safe Visibility Systems
Visibility is crucial for road safety, and Nexus excels in this area. The scooter features the brightest-in-class head and tail lamps. The diamond-cut headlamp design and unique tail lamp ensure maximum visibility, making the rider more noticeable to other road users. Additionally, the Smart Sense Auto Day-Night Mode provides cluster lighting adjustments in varying conditions, just like your iPhone. This unique feature was first introduced in the Nexus. Enter a tunnel or ride through the sunset and see the magic!
Innovative Safety Technologies
Nexus introduces several class-leading safety technologies that set it apart from competitors. The Hill Hold feature provides seamless slope control, preventing backward rolling on inclines. The Auto Indicator Cut-off anticipates rider moves and automatically deactivates turn signals, reducing the risk of miscommunication with other road users. Hazard lights allow riders to quickly alert others in emergency situations, while the Ambient Sensor adjusts display and light brightness based on surrounding conditions.
Ergonomic Design for Rider Comfort
Safety extends to rider and pillion rider comfort as well. The Nexus features an ergonomically designed pillion footrest and the largest-in-class seat, ensuring a stable riding position for both the rider and pillion rider.
Rigorous Real-World Testing
These safety features are not just theoretical; they've been rigorously tested and validated. Nexus underwent a grueling 10,000+ kilometer ride across India and has been tested for lakhs of kilometers across diverse terrains. This commitment to real-world testing has earned Nexus four records in the India Book of Records, including being the first electric scooter to complete a 10,000+ km journey and also the first one to tow a 2000 kg pick-up truck for 2+ kms.
Engineering Excellence and Heritage
The scooter benefits from a rich heritage of engineering excellence, with 165 years of engineering expertise and 16 years of pioneering experience in the EV industry backing its development. This wealth of knowledge translates into a product that's not just innovative, but also reliable and trustworthy.
Comprehensive After-Sales Support
Nexus ensures continued safety and reliability through comprehensive after-sales support. With a pan-India network of over 400 dealerships, innovative serviceability for least downtime, extended warranty options, and 24/7 free roadside assistance, Nexus owners can ride with confidence knowing support is always available.
The Nexus electric scooter represents a significant leap forward in two-wheeler safety. By combining innovative technology, robust design, and innovative features, Nexus has created a vehicle that prioritizes rider well-being without compromising on performance or style. As the electric mobility sector continues to grow, Nexus stands at the forefront, ensuring that the future of transportation is not just efficient and eco-friendly, but above all, safe.
