Re: Suzuki Burgman electric scooter spotted for the first time

Approved.

Nice. With a 2025 deadline for EV implementation(proposed by NITI Aayog which actually has only advisory power), manufacturers better hurry up with their electric commuter offerings. (of course, there's a big chance this deadline will be extended).

I really think that all manufacturers should start by readying a 80k-90k vehicle first, one that stably touches 60+kmph, and range is around acceptable. Obviously with essentials like Li ion battery and BLDC motor and front wheel ABS, and no big costly feature.

And no need to mention that they'll face hard competition (on price basis) even from startups, just because getting an electric vehicle right is comparatively a lot easier than I.C.E. and these startups often keep low costs, low margins and hence, low prices. Read the below extract from an article:-

I was wondering that ICE of BS6 Burgman weighing 110 curb mass. Will Suzuki increase the weight adding with the electric motor? If they do, it would the 2nd heaviest EV scooter on sale compare to Tvs icube- 118, Ather 450X-108 & Bajaj Chetak-NA. Wish they comes up with better range with a minimum of 100+. Not to mention that only Ather 450X is sale in Chennai as of Dec'2020.
