The sub-brand of RR Global (India’s
largest firm in the electrical industry) has also launched the BGauss B8
electric scooter. The flagship product of the company has 3 variants and is
available at a starting price of INR 62,999* (US$ 844).
One look at the new BGauss B8 electric
scooter and you would realise that it is a premium product. It has quite an
interesting and seamless design which should attract many buyers. We like the
way BGauss has incorporated the side turn signals which are flushed with the
front apron of the electric two-wheeler. Also, the rearview mirrors are
beautifully designed. They have a unique shape and their build quality seems
pretty solid.
The BGauss B8 features designer LED
projector headlamps with LED DRLs that enhance the electric scooter’s visual
appeal, especially in the dark. The LED taillamps are also decent-looking and
come with integrated side turn signals. The instrument cluster of the BGauss B8
is a fully-digital and multi-colour unit. There’s also a ‘Go’ button on the
dash to touch start the electric scooter.
The BGauss B8 is available in 3 variants -
lead-acid, lithium-ion, and Li technology. The lead-acid variant comes with an
IP65 rated 60V/22.3AH fixed battery pack that takes 7-8 hours to fully charge. It
can provide a range of up to 78km. The lithium-ion variant has an IP67 rated
57.6V/1.45AH removable battery pack which needs 3 hours to charge up to 100%.
The range it offers is the same as that of the lead-acid variant. The Li
technology variant features an IP67 rated 57.6V/1.45kW battery pack. It is a
removable unit and requires 3 hours to fully charge. The range here is limited
to a maximum of 70km. All the three variants of the BGauss B8 electric scooter
come equipped with a 1900W BLDC Hub Mount electric motor which is capable of
providing a top speed of 50 km/h.
The BGauss B8 electric scooter is
available in 4 colour choices including Silk Red, Sparkling Blue, Nebula Grey,
and Pearl White. Online bookings are now open for a token amount of INR 3,000.
The deliveries are expected to commence from next month in Pune, Navi Mumbai,
Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
