Suzuki electric scooter launch in India
Suzuki has announced in a global press release that Suzuki Motorcycle India will launch its first electric scooter in 2025. The new electric scooter will be targeted at the commuter two-wheeler segment. While the press release indicates that the new electric two-wheeler is a ‘motorcycle’, this is widely believed to be the result of a literal translation. The new electric two-wheeler is likely to be an electric scooter, especially considering the target audience.
Suzuki could introduce the electric Burgman maxi scooter which has been spied testing for quite some time now. The company could also introduce a mid-size scooter based on Burgman’s electric platform. Suzuki has been testing the electric Burgman platform for almost two years now and it has been spotted testing on public roads. The Japanese two-wheeler maker has also highlighted its plans to launch 8 new electric two-wheelers in India by FY2030. The company estimates that 25 percent of its Indian lineup will be EVs by FY2030. Suzuki is also working on introducing bigger capacity bikes that can run on carbon-neutral fuel.
Both the Japanese brands can be seen prioritizing commuter-specific electric scooters that will be more oriented towards practicality and cater to city commutes. Neither Honda nor Suzuki are chasing high-performance sporty electric two-wheelers at the moment.
