Suzuki India could be close to unveiling its latest model in the electric two-wheeler market. The Suzuki Burgman electric scooter has been seen multiple times testing on Indian public roads.

Suzuki Motorcycles India has continued to expand its offerings in the Indian market. It has had tremendous success with products that are specifically designed for the market. The Suzuki Burgman is the company’s new offering in the electric two-wheeler market.

The Indian e-scooter/ e-bike market holds a lot of potentials, as both sub-national and the central government have continued to provide incentives to support the growth of the market. The sheer number of potential users of electric bikes in the subcontinent continues to draw both local and foreign manufacturers into the market.

The electric version of the Burgman Street 125 motorcycle bears a close semblance to its more established gas-powered motorcycle. It has a distinct blue and white color combination to differentiate it from the Burgman Street 125. The front and rear wheels of the e-scooter will be 12 inches and 10 inches respectively. It has a telescopic front fork and two shock absorbers at the rear, while disc and drum brake systems are used on the front and rear mechanisms, respectively.Suzuki Burgman launch

The Suzuki Burgman e-scooter is customized for the Indian terrain, as the company seeks to continue to draw customers on the basis of its customized and tailor-made models already in the market. It has an Indian spec design and the electric powertrain and battery of the model will have global ramifications. The Burgman e-scooter will likely be at par with some of the popular gas-powered motorcycles in the Indian market, with the pricing reflecting somewhere around 20% as the additional average increment in its price over the gas models.

In a week’s time, the Suzuki Burgman e-scooter will be officially released in India and we are bound to have more details about the new model before the scheduled November 18 event.
