BGauss, a sub-brand of
RR Global which is India’s largest firm in the electrical industry, unveiled
two new electric scooters (A2 and B8) for the Indian market. The company has
now launched the BGauss A2 in the country. The low-speed electric two-wheeler
is available in two variants with prices starting at INR 52,499* (US$ 703).
The BGauss A2 electric scooter has a very
modern and attractive design. It features a pair of uniquely-shaped LED
headlamps which sit quite low in the front apron. The portion of the front
apron between the handlebar and the headlamps is vacant and imparts a cleaner
look to the electric vehicle. Just like the headlamps, the LED taillamps and
side turn indicators of the A2 electric scooter are also quite different and
uncommon.
The fully-digital instrument cluster of
the BGauss A2 low-speed electric scooter is capable of showing a plethora of
information such as speed, trip meter, odometer, battery level indicator, and
riding mode. There is also a side stand sensor for extra safety. Other features
include a USB charging socket, 20-litres of under-seat storage, decently-sized
floorboard, stylish rear grab handle, reverse mode. The BGauss A2 lead-acid
variant comes with an IP65 rated 60V fixed battery pack which charges from
0-80% in 5-6 hours and 0-100% takes 7-8 hours. It is capable of providing a
range of up to 110km. The 250W BLDC electric motor provides a top speed of up
to 25 km/h.
On the other hand, the BGauss A2
lithium-ion variant features an IP67 rated 57.6V removable battery pack. The
charging time is significantly less here; 0-80% takes 1 hour 45 minutes whereas
0-100% takes 2 hours 15 minutes. The range and top speed, however, remains the
same at 110 km.
The BGauss A2 electric scooter is
available in 3 colour choices - Caspian Blue, Glacier Ice, and Super White. The
lead-acid variant has been priced at INR 52,499* (US$ 703), whereas the lithium-ion
variant costs INR 67,999* (US$ 911). Online bookings for both the variants are now open
for a token amount of INR 3,000 (US$ 40). The deliveries are expected to commence from
next month in Pune, Navi Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
