Electric Scooter in Pune

BGauss Sense in the city · March 10, 2022 ·

There has been a growing need for electric scooters in India. With urbanization, problems such as congestion, crowding and environmental degradation have been increasing at a rapid rate. Electric scooters serve as an effortless, efficient and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. BGauss in particular has been increasing its operations from city to city in India to meet this need. They currently have two electric scooters available that are BGauss A2 and B8, and both these scooters provide good speed, high range, and come at a pocket-friendly price. To understand the reason behind a majority of people moving to brands like BGauss, let’s look at the rise of electric scooters in Pune . As most of you must be aware, Pune is a city situated in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Pune is widely regarded as the second major “IT hub of India” and the top “automobile and manufacturing hub of India”. It is known as the Oxford of the East with the presence of a wide range of educational institutions.

Over the years, the city’s economic boom has resulted in a complex transport infrastructure causing people to spend more time stuck on the road, rather than at work, home or anywhere else! The city’s population has also exponentially grown in the last two decades, consequently leading to a higher number of vehicles on the road. If that weren’t enough, widespread urbanization has adversely affected the average Air Quality Index in Pune which can pose detrimental to one’s health and the environment in the long run.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s become all the more difficult to travel via public transport. Buses within the city are usually crowded and aren’t feasible given the new social distancing norms. On the other hand, auto-rickshaws are very less in number and aren’t viable for daily travel.

Considering all the factors like personal mobility, cost of fuel, convenience of travel, safety, and the planet, electric scooters in Pune have become the need of the hour. Let’s take an estimate. Over 3 years, the fuel cost for a petrol-powered scooter will become equivalent to the cost of your electric scooter, which indirectly means that your electric scooter is free of charge! Unlike ICE driven vehicles, e-scooters have fewer components and moving parts, ultimately having a significantly lower cost of maintenance. Even the cost per KM is about ₹ 0.25

So, should you get an electric two-wheeler in Pune? Absolutely. And that’s where we come in!

Presenting BGauss, a sensibly stylish electric scooter brand from the house of RR Kabel, globally renowned for their electric solutions.

The flagship e-scooters are fashionably functional with their contemporary design, advanced technology and superior performance. Since e-scooters are powered by batteries they have zero gas emissions and let you have a noiseless, environmentally friendly commute. Moreover, due to its lightweight design, electric scooters take up very less space on the road, which means that as the market share for electric scooters in Pune increases, the traffic and congestion on the road will automatically decrease.

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!

A Guide To Electric Scooter Motors

BGauss · January 12, 2022 ·

Done trying to wrap your head around those complicated guides that focus more on the technical terms and inner mechanics of electric motors?
If yes, then ride along because this is an uncomplicated guide to understanding electric scooter motors, how they work and why they’re great for two-wheeler performance.

The lifecycle of an electric scooter motor has a direct impact on your daily riding, which is why it’s necessary for us to understand its components, basic functioning and how it helps electric scooters run efficiently.

Electric Motor scooters are made of three key components which are:
Battery – A rechargeable battery also known as the power source that acts as a fuel for the electric scooters to cover long distances. The Electric scooters usually consist of Lithium-ion batteries and Lead Acid Batteries.
Motor – Also known as an electrical motor is an electrical machine converting electrical energy into mechanical energy in order for the scooter to move. Nowadays Electric scooter motors use Brushless DC motors.
Controller – A controller helps to keep the flow of power from batteries to the motor in check. It allows the power to get distributed based on the amount of charge left in the batteries

Motor Power
The electric scooter motor power of your next E-scooter is like the heart of a human body without which it would fail to function properly or at all for that matter. That is why you need to be really careful when you buy an e-scooter.
You can know a lot about the quality of your next e-scooter just by knowing the motor power rating given in Watts or Wattage.

A Watt is simply the measure of power or energy and the more the wattage, the more would be the amount of power your electric scooter motor would be able to consume in a given time. And the more power it consumes, the more energy it would be able to produce which in turn would lead to better performance and who doesn’t want that right?

In simple words, the performance of an electric scooter would be directly related to the amount of watts an e-scooter consumes. The higher the amount of motor watts, the better the performance.

Higher motor power would lead to more power generation and therefore, higher acceleration. You can read more information about this below:
Electric motors when properly installed produce less vibration and noise, get less unheated and last longer which leads to higher efficiency.
Electric motors are more durable because there are only a few moving components leading to less wear and tear and therefore less maintenance cost too.
The higher the motor power,i.e, the number of watts and a higher battery capacity, the more energy your electric scooter have to climb those steep slopes.
Heavy-duty electric scooters like BGauss are designed to encounter additional stress and as they have a stronger motor and big batteries, they have a higher load capacity.

Every BGauss electric scooter is built with the highest grade German technology, powered by a 1900 Watt Motor and equipped with three riding modes for ease that can be customized according to the route and use.

Motor Torque
Torque, if it had to be explained in simple words, is the measurement of the amount of pressure applied with the same force which in turn leads your electric scooter to move forward.

Torque is usually measured in units of Nm or Newton-Meters and is really important if you want to make sure that your electric scooter motor is worth the money you are spending but only a few companies including BGauss actually mention Newton meters.

An electric motor’s torque is crucial to be familiar with as it shows the amount of load an engine can handle to generate a certain amount of energy. This is why the smooth acceleration and no vibration makes riding a B8 an experience like no other.

Motor Controller
The Controller, also known as the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) is an electronic circuit which like the name suggests, helps to control the speed of your electric scooter motor and also in performing a dynamic brake, reversing of the motor. and so much more.

It helps to adjust the flow of energy from the battery to the motor and it is very important as this would be one of the deciding factors in regards to your safety(so that you don’t lose control of your E-scooter).

It’s important that you understand the basics of an E-scooter motor because that would be the basis of how your future e-scooter would perform on the road, the convenience and comfort it would be able to offer, the average lifespan and so on.

If chosen correctly, E-scooters can make a huge contribution to your daily life such as:
Low maintenance costs – Save your hard-earned money and finally buy something for yourself as well
Less Noise Pollution – Not only good for the environment but also soothing for your ears
Can be charged at home easily – Say Bye to those frequent visits to petrol pumps
No air pollution – Now You can go on an adventure while being an Earth Saviour!

To make this an adventure of a lifetime for you during those rides through the dust and rains, the motor of BGauss B8 has been sealed with an IP67 rating making it dust-free and water-resistant which especially makes it perfect for Indian roads. Not just that, it comes with a 3-year warranty so that you can ride worry-free.

Lead Acid Battery or Lithium-ion Battery: The Best One for You!

BGauss · January 12, 2022 ·

With the economic expansion and growth in urban cities, commuting has become a challenge. An electric scooter is ideal in this situation. They are light, compact, and are relatively safe, allowing you to get to your destination quickly. There are various parts to an electric scooter that support its functioning; however, a battery is one of the most important ones. For instance, a battery failure may lead an entire system to malfunction. This powerful energy source serves various functions in daily life, ranging from delivering the initial power required to start automobiles’ engines to acting as a backup source of electricity. Two of the most common battery chemistry types are lithium-ion and lead-acid, and we’re here to help you understand which one would be better suited for you!

As the name suggests, Lead-acid batteries are made with lead metal, whereas lithium-ion batteries are made with lithium metal. These differences in chemistry result in different performances and costs. While both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries are viable storage options, here’s a comparison of which is better for electric scooters

COST AND SIZE:
Lead-acid batteries are a popular, low-cost option that comes in various pack sizes. However, the cost-effectiveness of the battery type you are looking for will be determined by your application purpose. Lead-acid batteries are ideal for large-scale stationary applications with plenty of space and low energy demands. As a result, they’re primarily found in power plants and renewable energy storage systems such as inverters. On the other hand, lithium-ion batteries have a much higher energy density, allowing them to deliver the same amount of power in a much smaller space. If you want to travel the same distance in your Electric Scooter with Lithium-ion and Lead-acid batteries, the former takes up eight times less space and weighs eight times less. As a result, lithium-ion batteries may be the best option for your electric vehicle in terms of cost and size! BGauss e-scooters are powered by high quality rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries that come with a 3 year warranty making it very cost effective.
ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE:
Lithium-ion batteries are better for the environment since they contain little to no toxic materials. On the other hand, lead-acid batteries are made of lead, a heavier metal and an environmentally hazardous substance, containing harmful chemicals, such as sulphuric acid. Although, they are comparatively less expensive than lithium-ion batteries due to their widespread availability and higher recyclability rate. Comparatively, Lithium-ion batteries contain landfill-safe materials and are environmentally friendly. They have an increased lifespan of 2-3 times longer than lead-acid batteries, making it possible to argue that lithium-ion batteries are “greener”.
CHARGING:
Lithium-ion batteries use less energy to maintain their charge than lead-acid batteries and have a 90% efficient charge cycle as compared to 80-85% efficiency for a lead-acid battery. A full charge of a 1-2 kw lithium-ion battery pack takes less than 2-3 hours, thanks to fast charging technology that cuts the time between the two. On the other hand, lead-acid batteries take up to 10 hours to completely charge and are less efficient due to their low specific energy, poor cold-temperature performance, and short calendar and cycle life. They also self-discharge at a faster rate than Lithium-ion batteries. BGauss B8’s Lithium-ion battery model takes only 3 hours to charge completely, enough for an entire day of commuting.
LONG-LASTING:
Lithium-ion batteries have a higher lifespan if used properly and have a life cycle of around 5-8 years or 2,000 charging cycles at the very least. They can last up to 3,000 cycles if used properly and with care. Lead-acid batteries, on the other hand, have a life cycle of about 1000 cycles when used properly. Extreme heat and other environmental factors can drastically shorten the life of a lead-acid battery.

Overall, lithium-ion batteries should be used in your electric bike because they have a higher energy density and can fit into the limited space of your scooter. Automobile brands using lithium battery-based EVs are now the best option for contributing to a greener future. Moreover, in contrast to lead-acid batteries, which are most commonly used in mobility scooters, Lithium-ion batteries require less frequent replacement and lesser maintenance costs. With it’s cost-effectiveness, higher performance, and reliability, we believe Lithium-ion batteries are the future. BGauss provides you with high performance electric scooters, powered by a portable Lithium-ion battery that you can charge at any place with a regular 3A socket. Moreover BGauss is powered by an IP67 battery too, making it dust-proof and water-proof. Happy riding!
