Electric scooters and wading through clogged roads easily? Well, this is something which you may think that can’t be the case but turns out, some e-scooters really excel this test. All credits go to the water wading feature that allows the e-scooter to go through shallow and deep water levels.
The monsoon season has arrived and summers have officially taken off to the next year. But, do you remember the decision of buying the BG C12 e-scooter you made pre-monsoon? Actually, let us prove to you that your decision was not wrong or if you’re planning to get the BG C12, read more and find out what exactly to expect.
Despite delivering the best quality e-scooters, the excited BG Electric team decided to perform various tests and also tested the 250 mm water wading of the BG D15. A few energetic employees at BG Electric got on the BG D15 and here we have the result.

The water wading test has been done under expert supervision, so, we insist not to try this at home or outside, anywhere.
Now talking about the BG C12, let’s note down a few points to understand the water wading of this vehicle.
1. What is the water wading feature?
Well, of course water wading you may say, but there’s more to brag about. The BG C12 is made in India and made for the Indian roads. During the monsoon season some roads in your city would be known just because they get flooded and boom, that’s the only possible way to your destination. To overcome this, the BG C12 comes with a 300mm water wading limit, yes, 50 mm extra from the BG D15 just because the BG C12 is all about extra.
2. How does the water wading feature function?
The water wading feature incorporates various engineering advancements to ensure the safety and performance of a vehicle in aquatic conditions. Let’s take a closer look at the key components and mechanisms involved:
a. Increased Ground Clearance: Vehicles like the BG C12 e-scooter, equipped with the water wading feature possess a higher ground clearance, allowing them to navigate through water without the risk of submerging crucial parts like the motor. The BG C12 comes with a 155 mm ground clearance.
b. Elevated Air Intake: One of the critical aspects of the water wading feature is the positioning of the air intake. It is typically placed higher in the vehicle, allowing it to draw in air from above the water level. This design prevents water from entering the motor and ensures a continuous air supply, even in wet conditions.
c. Waterproofing and Venting: BG Electric uses specialized waterproofing measures to safeguard critical components like the battery, motor, and the drum brakes. Additionally, strategically placed venting systems enable the release of any accumulated water, ensuring the vehicle’s optimal performance.
3. What are the benefits of the water wading feature?
The water wading feature offers several advantages for those living in flood-prone areas:
A. Enhanced Safety: With the ability to cross shallow water bodies, the water wading feature reduces the risk of stalling or damaging vital components. This feature enables drivers to navigate through flooded areas or unexpected water crossings with confidence and peace of mind.
B. Durability and Reliability: Vehicles equipped with the water wading feature undergo rigorous testing to ensure their resilience and durability in demanding conditions. This feature is a testament to the engineering prowess of manufacturers, providing customers with reliable vehicles capable of withstanding the elements.
Get prepared for the monsoon and get the BG C12 home today. In conclusion, just like the BG D15, the BG C12 passes the water wading test with flying colours. Tap here to read more about the BG C12 e-scooter.
