Why Electric Scooter is The Right Choice for Daily Travellers?

BGauss · April 26, 2022 ·

Travelling is one of the most time-consuming activities for students, office goers and daily commuters. While commuting by public transportation or a fuel-based personal vehicle is a popular alternative, it is also time-consuming and nerve-racking. Imagine how far your productivity would go up by eliminating the stress and fatigue that comes with travelling.

Technological advancements have streamlined or improved most of our daily processes. From fancy gadgets to renewable energy, technology has touched every aspect of our lives with more accessible and better solutions. One such innovative solution to the daily hassle of travelling is an electric scooter. Zoom past every hurdle with a stylish, comfortable, fun and affordable travel buddy, i.e. an electric scooter.

So, let’s understand how an electric scooter is perfect for you!

If you are someone who uses public or fuel-based personal transportation, here are some of the things you must have experienced while travelling:

1. Long queues and longer excuses for being late. AGAIN!
Everyone who travels by train knows that the journey may be long, but the queue has to be longer, especially during peak hours. To make matters worse, running late or out of time only adds to the stress of reaching your destination on time.

2. That one train that everyone is trying to get on.
Even if you’ve managed to save time and get a ticket from the ticket counter, you will be catching a train that is already packed and congested. There is the time that you took out to read your favourite book or listen to your newest playlist! And don’t even get us started on what’ll happen if you meet an acquaintance on the same train. Phew!

3. Personal safety and health aren’t probably on your side while travelling via public transport.
Travelling might be tedious, but your health and personal safety are also on the line while using public transport. With many people travelling, there is a possibility of getting pickpocketed and sitting next to someone with a transmittable virus.

4. Time isn’t on your side if you’ve missed out on a train/bus.
We know how difficult it is to reach the office or college on time, especially on a Monday. And catching a train or bus is all about timing. If you’ve happened to miss out on your usual bus/train, there is no hope for you to reach on time.

5. You spend more time around the petrol station than your favorite eatery.
With the rising price hikes, fuel-based vehicles have become more expensive than ever. Plus, you’d have to pay a visit to the petrol station at least once in a week.

So, how does an electric scooter help you cut downtime, give you a laidback stress-free ride and still cost you less than other transportation?

1. Refuelling your vehicle constantly isn’t on the table anymore.
With an electric scooter, you won’t have to stand in long queues at the petrol station or constantly refuel your vehicle. You will only need to recharge at the convenience of your own home.

How?

5. Low maintenance cost for an easy-breezy ride!
Compared to petrol-based vehicles, electric scooters don’t require as much maintenance. The only maintenance required is for you to get it serviced on the appointed date.

6. The cost of the bill is way less than what you think it may be.
The cost to charge an electric scooter with 70 kms range fully would be around Rs. 20-25. In comparison, the cost of petrol scooter per 70 km would be over Rs.150.

In all, electric scooters are not just smart, efficient and affordable but also greener than traditional modes of transportation, making them an ideal choice for daily travellers. If you’re interested in buying yourself an electric scooter, book your test drive with BGauss B8 today!

Gearless E-Scooter An Ideal Choice for Everyone

BGauss · March 15, 2022 ·

In the past, whenever one would think of commuting to a specific destination or any destination for that matter, the ideal choice would always be fuel-based vehicles such as cars, bikes, scooters or trains. A majority of the population has been heavily dependent on such fuel-based vehicles for their everyday travel. But the rise in the amount of harmful vehicular pollutants in the air has consequently caused a significant increase in global warming, leading to a severe decline in the quality of air around the world.

Due to these factors, the authorities decided to encourage, or rather mandate, a shift towards electric scooters by promoting the adoption of new-generation electric vehicles for urban transportation to improve the air quality and help people save money.

This has led to a new era favouring electric vehicles known as The EV Revolution. Electric vehicles are powered by geared or gearless hub motors. To understand better about the two, a gear reduction system connects the geared hub motor and the stator.

Consequently, each time its case rotates, the internal gear rotates at a higher speed. This allows the motor to comparatively work at a faster and efficient speed, however make them less powerful. In general, geared motors have more friction, and more moving parts. That results in higher wear and tear, a shorter life span and more expenses in defects and repairs.

In comparison, the gearless hub motor’s stator combination is more complicated. At the center of the motor, it comprises an axle which is actually the axle of the motor itself with copper windings fixed to it. However, since the motor is big and heavy, it acts as a heat sink and prevents the motor from overcharging easily. Plus, gearless hub motors provide better torque and power and are more suitable for high performance e-scooters. Which means greater power, higher top speeds and better climbing angles.

We suggest you factor in your power and weight requirements before choosing between the two.

Here are a few reasons why gearless e-scooters are the way to go:

Budget-Friendly – If you are exhausted with the recurring costs incurred on the maintenance of your gear-box & fuel tank, then a gearless e-scooter is an ideal choice for you. Why?
Because electric scooters consist of fewer moving parts, all it needs is cleaning parts every now and then, which means that you can wave your mechanic Goodbye!
This, in turn, leads to less maintenance costs when compared to fuel-based scooters, which require frequent servicing and your constant attention.

Easy-to-ride – It gets tiring and complicated to ride a petrol-based gear vehicle. The constant switching of gears is a big pain point for most people.
Here’s when riding a gearless electric scooter comes in handy as there are fewer moving parts, which mainly consist of an electric motor, controller, and battery, making it
light-weight and easier to ride! It’s convenient for anyone to learn to ride an electric scooter as there is no hassle involved because you don’t need to press the clutch or constantly switch between gears.
With BGauss electric scooters, you can experience utmost convenience since they are equipped with three riding modes providing you with high performance and high speed.

So now, switch between riding modes instead of gears at your convenience for an easy & worry-free ride.

Time-Saving – We understand and respect your time and without any further ado, let’s look at how you can save your precious time by considering gearless e-scooter as your ideal choice. Gearless e-scooters require batteries to function efficiently, unlike fuel based scooters which require petrol or diesel. With this you can be rest assured that you’ll have zero visits to the petrol station and can go to your workplace worry-free and on time.
To help you save more time, BGauss e-scooters are equipped with a portable battery, which means that you can fully charge the battery within 3 hours anytime and anywhere, which is good enough for a full day of commuting. Electric scooters also take up less space on the roads, so you can glide through the traffic easily and be ahead of the rest.

In general, Gearless e-scooters have gained popularity over time since they are lightweight, easy to ride, environmentally friendly and pocket-friendly. The majority of the population has already started switching to electric, and even the Indian Government has set a target to have 80% sales of new two wheeler vehicles to be electric by 2030.

Maintenance of an electric scooter – Should it be a Cause of Worry?

BGauss · March 14, 2022 ·

Each time we buy a new vehicle or any high-value object for that matter, we are naturally concerned about its upkeep and maintenance. If you’ve just bought a new electric scooter, we understand that you might have a lot of thoughts running through your mind. Well, in order to keep your electric scooter in a good condition, you’ll have to follow the right maintenance techniques and ensure your electric two wheeler is being looked after on a regular basis.

Before we delve into tips to maintain an electric scooter lets understand its factors.

1. Cost of maintenance of an electric scooter
An electric scooter consumes one to three units of electricity per charge (approximately Rs 10 per unit of electricity). Even the most expensive two-wheelers need little more than 3.5 units per charge. You’ll pay no more than Rs 30-35 per charge for two-wheelers with its range varying from 50 to 150 kilometer, which is a very budget-friendly price. In comparison, the cost of petrol per 100 kms of ride would cost over Rs. 150, assuming your vehicle has a mileage of 70 kmpl.

2. Cost and maintenance of the battery
The batteries of electric scooters usually last for 4-5 years and the warranty period ranges from brand to brand. BGauss provides a 3 year warranty on its lithium-ion, portable batteries, keeping you worry free at all times. Moreover, if your battery is damaged beyond the date of warranty, the cost of replacing a battery is very less due to the petrol cost you save round the year. In comparison, people spend over Rs. 70,000 a year on petrol on an average.

What we’re trying to say is that you should not worry about the maintenance of electric scooters since their cost is far less than petrol vehicles.

Now that you’ve understood the cost-breakup, listed below are a few easy tips to maintain your electric scooter and ensure efficient performance.

1. Keep your e-scooter clean: It’s important to keep your e-scooter clean and keep it away from dust and debris that might cause any damage. Wipe your e-scooter before and after every ride. And even if you are not going to use your electric scooter for a while, make sure to keep it clean, especially the battery.

Electric Scooters Vs Petrol Scooter – A comprehensive Guide

BGauss · February 3, 2022 ·

Back in time, if you would have thought of purchasing an electric scooter, it would not have made sense because of the high demand for petrol scooters in every country, and also because the only thing that powered scooters was petrol.

But the times have changed. Consumers around the world are slowly shifting towards alternatives that reduce vehicular pollution and its contribution towards environmental damage and that improve the quality of air while elevating their own lifestyle.

While many of us would like to become protectors of the environment, a lifestyle change like this ultimately comes down to savings, maintenance and the overall feasibility of owning an electric scooter versus a fuel-operated one.

So let’s delve into the details and look at a few points that you need to consider while making a choice between the two:

Performance
When it comes to performance, It’s easier to say that electric scooters win against petrol scooters.

Why?
Electric scooters can start directly or produce max torque directly from 0RPM whereas petrol scooters take time as the torque increases gradually.

The smooth and fast acceleration and little-to-no vibration make electric scooters a better choice by providing you with superior ride quality and quieter surroundings due to their noise-free operation.

BGauss B8 has been equipped with the highest grade German technology which is powered by a 1900 Watt motor and equipped with three riding modes for ease that can be customized according to the route and use.

The smooth acceleration and no vibration makes riding a B8 an experience like no other.

In the case of petrol-based scooters, they produce a comparatively louder and more disturbing noise, especially while riding and are comparatively much slower in terms of acceleration.

Maintenance
Electric scooters require less maintenance as they consist of fewer moving parts including a lightweight battery which you can even charge at home and occasional check-up of screws and other parts.

On the other hand, petrol scooters require higher maintenance as it consists of an engine, spark plugs, air, oil filters, and other small components that need to be serviced frequently to keep them from wearing out.

And well, the more the maintenance, the higher the cost.

That’s why BGauss has made sure to make its scooters even more pocket-friendly when compared to other electric scooters.

They have focused on economical, efficient manufacturing and battery costs without compromising on the quality of their electric scooters by using lithium-ion batteries which last 3-4 times longer than lead batteries without losing effectiveness over a long period of time.

Air Pollution
Another important factor to consider is the contribution of these vehicles to air pollution.
As the world is progressing, so many industries like the automobile industry are also launching new vehicles which are adding to the pollution every day.

The AQI or the Air Quality Index – a measure used to gauge how polluted the air currently is or can be in the near future- has also started to deteriorate significantly especially in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Delhi & Kolkata. The Air Quality Index ranges between 0-500 and the higher the number, the greater is the public health risk. The AQI in the cities mentioned above is 175, 351 & 226 respectively.

One of the many reasons the government wants to switch to electric mobility is the amount of pollution that petrol vehicles including petrol scooters cause.

Electric scooters run on an electric motor that is battery-powered (mostly all the high-quality scooters including BGauss use lithium-ion) by electricity and even after the battery stops functioning, it can still be repurposed or reused for other energy applications.

As they run on electrical energy, there is no emission of harmful gases or fumes in the air and also help people in reducing their carbon footprint.

BGauss B8 and A2, both are equipped with rechargeable batteries which help in more distance coverage in a single charge leading to less fuel dependency and zero emissions thereby leading to a cleaner and healthier environment. Moreover, their noise-free operation also ensures that they don’t contribute to noise pollution.

On the other hand, petrol scooters/vehicles run on fuel-based engines and tend to emit various harmful gases leading to severe air pollution and in turn global warming.

Cost and Savings:
Furthermore, the most important factor for everyone when it comes to purchasing any vehicle including electric scooters or petrol scooters is Cost & Savings

Maintenance cost is very low as there are only a few parts involved in electric scooters such as the battery, motor and controller. Whereas petrol scooters consist of an engine, transmission, gearbox, converters, filters, and so many more components which require frequent servicing causing a lot of damage to your pocket.

With electric scooters, you can charge the battery at the convenience of your own home, although there are only a few electric stations in case your electric scooter runs out of battery.

The BGauss B8 uses rechargeable lithium-ion batteries which only require a 3-hour charge making it extremely time-saving too and can be charged at home, office, café, school, etc. with a regular 5A socket.

In the case of petrol scooters, you have to have to fill the fuel tank every now and then, and given the current petrol prices are too high, electric scooters are more economical because they only require the battery to be charged frequently, leading to barely any costs whatsoever.

Purchasing any type of scooter, be it an Electric or petrol scooter is still a big decision because, in the end, it’s something you would be using regularly and for a relatively long period of time.

  • A petrol scooter requires a lot of effort to maintain. You need to make sure that :
  • Your Petrol scooter gets serviced frequently
  • You are willing to pay high maintenance costs
  • The constant vibration, noise and air pollution doesn’t bug you.
  • You are ready to pay high petrol prices

In the case of electric scooters which runs on an electric motor powered by electricity, which means that:

  • You can charge the battery at your own home
  • Good for short distances and city commutes
  • Eligible service charges as it has fewer parts compared to petrol scooters
  • No more going to a petrol station and wasting money.

While the market may have been heavily dominated by petrol vehicles for a long time, electric two-wheelers and micro-mobility are the way to go as the world looks to undo the damage caused by excessive fossil fuel usage, while
exploring a stylish and sensible new way of going around town!
