Suzuki Electrifies India: First E-Scooter Confirmed for December Production

India-based Suzuki Motorcycle is finally going electric. The leading two-wheeler manufacturer from Japan is best known for its popular Access and Burgman scooters. Finally, the company has confirmed the production of its first electric scooter for India. Here's a brief breakdown:

Production Starts in December

Brace up for the roll-out of the Suzuki electric scooter off the production line by December 2024. This then means that the launch should be just around the corner, by the first quarter of next year.

Fixed Battery Pack for Convenience

Unlike the spotted e-Burgman with a swappable battery design, Suzuki's electric scooter is reportedly heading to India with a fixed battery pack. This is similar to most electric scooters available in the market.

Targeting 25,000 Units Annually

With this new electric scooter, Suzuki is averaging an annual production output of 25,000 units, which clearly indicates the faith and belief endowed by them in the growth of Indian electric two-wheelers.

Still a Mystery: The Name and e-Burgman's Fate

What exactly will the new electric scooter be and what's in a name? The lid is being lifted on further details of the new electric scooter, but there is still some suspense. But what Suzuki hasn't given away yet is the official name for this e-scooter. But of course, with the popularity of the two brands, Access and Burgman, any name will definitely resonate with one of them.

The future of the e-Burgman, at least with its removable battery concept, is still uncertain. Maybe Suzuki will launch it as a standalone model in the near future or will come up with a permanent battery pack for the Indian market.

A Growing Electric Two-Wheeler Market

Another major tectonic shift that the Indian two-wheeler market is witnessing is a move to electric vehicles. The entry of Suzuki may only add to the increasing competition in an already crowded field of established players such as Bajaj, TVS, and Ather Energy. This basically works well for customers eyeing a wide range of electric scooters.
