How Reliable Are Electric Scooters? Here’s What to Look At

BGauss · May 31, 2022 ·

With the exponential growth in technology, electric scooters are becoming more reliable and safe with each passing year. A significant reason for its growing popularity is its cost-effectiveness and easy to ride structure.

But, the question remains, how reliable are electric scooters?

Electric scooters are pretty reliable; how? Well, most well-recognized brands offer tech-savvy features, good range and high-quality batteries that prioritize your safety and comfort. These brands conduct extensive testing to ensure their electric scooters make for a safe travel companion. Most manufacturers also offer support and knowledge to customers at every step of the way to ensure a smooth shift to electric mobility.

Here are a few factors you can consider to ensure your electric scooter is reliable:

1. Complete metal body exterior
Most brands offer electric scooters with a plastic or fibre exterior that is lightweight and easy to handle; however, they cannot take on hard impacts. On the other hand, a full metal body exterior is definitely heavier but more reliable. Such exteriors can take on tough hits and have a better endurance towards unexpected incidents on the road. The new BG D15 is built with a solid full metal body to give you the experience of a stress-free ride through any challenges.

2. Tubeless Tyres
Suppose you’re looking for an electric scooter that is suitable to be a family vehicle and is good for long distance riding. In that case, a tubeless tyre is a must as they tend to be more heavy-duty, puncture resistant and high performance. Most premium electric scooters in India offer tubeless tyres. Keeping this in mind, the new BG D15 is equipped with 16-inch big wheels for better grip and performance and tubeless tyres for better stability.

3. Robust frame
A tough and robust frame is essential to ensure high endurance and strength. The new BG D15 is embodied with a high strength tubular steel frame, built for 1,00,000+ km with a 150kg payload. So now you can rely on your electric scooter for every outing with your friends and family. Plus, the BG D15 has undergone 500 hours of salt spray test along with a 5 Step CED Coating Process to ensure a rust-free ride

4. Weather-proof design
The IP rating of an electric scooter is essential for commuting through every season. Usually, a scooter rated IP54 is suitable for light rain or dusty terrain. In comparison, an IP67 rated battery and motor can protect against heavy, constant rain and some immersion. The BG D15 is IP67 rated, making it highly safe to use during monsoons.

5. Good Range
The range of an electric scooter is the distance that can be covered in a full charge, which varies depending on your riding habits and riding conditions. The BG D15 offers a 115+ km/hr range, perfect for everyday commuting and long distance riding. Moreover, it also comes with an intelligent Distance to Empty feature that gives accurate estimates on how much distance can be covered in kilometers, truly keeping range anxiety away!

6. Battery Safety and Reliability
Generally, electric scooters are equipped with a lead acid battery or lithium ion battery; the latter is safer and lasts longer. BG D15’s battery is designed to last for more than 70000 km. Usually, electric scooters run for approximately 10000 km in a year. With BG D15, you won’t have to think about battery replacement for the next 6-7 years, making it highly reliable. Moreover, BG D15 comes with 20 battery safety features.

7. Intelligent technology
Electric scooters these days are being differentiated by their technology integrations like IoT and AI. BG D15 offers upgraded and first in its segment features like charging station suggestions, limp-home mode, and roll over sensor. We also provide vehicle live tracking and anti-theft alerts to truly give you an experience of intelligence that is tailored to your convenience and safety.

The newly designed electric scooter keeps you safe and gives you an all-around experience of a fun journey to your destination. The D15 offers a 36000 km or three years warranty for extra assurance, making it easily the most reliable electric scooter on the market!

Why Smart Technology in Electric Scooters is The Need of The Hour!

BGauss · May 31, 2022 ·

In 2015, the Indian Government introduced the Smart Cities Mission to develop new smart cities and enhance the overall landscape connectivity through technology. Transportation is an essential facet of this initiative and contributes to the larger picture of the nation’s development.

With the growth of electric vehicles in India, we are moving faster than ever to realize the nation’s vision of developing smart cities. This also involves solving the problems of congestion and peak hour traffic caused by urban logistics and delivery services. By adapting to electric vehicles with IoT technology, such customers and clients can have higher cost savings, increased efficiency and better performance!

So what exactly is IoT, and why is it important?
IoT(Internet of things) is concerned with integrating components such as sensors, gadgets, clouds and apps into vehicles and their use. It helps in the technological functions and improves the experience of the user. For smart cities especially, IoT is an imperative requirement, just like AI in the software industry and is an excellent tool for taking personal mobility and urban logistics systems a long way.

How has BGauss Electric incorporated IoT in the new BG D15?
Backed by world-class technology, BGauss Electric has introduced an upgraded App for the new BG D15 electric scooter to enable smooth integration with phones and other smart devices, thereby taking smart transportation to a whole new level.

2) Real time battery diagnostics

A battery is a crucial component of an electric scooter, and its maintenance is vital to increasing the vehicle’s lifespan. With the Real time battery diagnostics feature, we provide crucial information like the battery health, performance and level of charge so that you can stay worry-free at all times.

3) Find my vehicle buzzer
Apart from BG D15’s eye-catching look, you can differentiate your vehicle instantly from the rest with our smart Find my vehicle buzzer. Regardless of whether it’s a busy street or parking lot, find your scooter, any time, anywhere, with just one click!

Just like the name suggests, now know exactly how much distance you can cover in kilometers within the given charging level of your scooter. This way, you can plan ahead and take a quick break to charge your vehicle’s battery.

5) Easy Lock and Unlock
Technology has come a long way from using your phone to make a call to lock and unlock your vehicle. Our smart vehicle will sense your movement within its given radius and allow you to seamlessly unlock your vehicle on the BGauss App as you walk towards it and lock it when you leave.

6) Firmware Update
With technology constantly evolving, any firmware update that you receive on the BGauss App will be updated on your vehicle via Bluetooth. This way, you can stay updated at all times.

7) Charging Station Suggestions
Who doesn’t love receiving a personalized, curated list? With BG D15, we aim to cater to your requirement and provide convenience like never before with our first in its segment Charging Station Suggestions feature.

Artificial intelligence and IoT in electric vehicles are imperative to realize India’s vision of a smart future. This revolutionary movement will transform the transportation infrastructure and reduce pollution levels. However, all stakeholders involved will have to contribute to accelerating the progress being made in smart transportation. For instance, the Government needs to introduce more policies to overcome infrastructural challenges; manufacturers need to integrate best-in class technology in their vehicles, and consumers need to drive the change by embracing the concept of sustenance. Together, we can achieve India’s futuristic goals and make them today’s reality!

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?

With BGauss B8 electric scooters, you can recharge the removable lithium-ion battery at the convenience of your home. The advanced technology ensures a full charge in 3 hours, good enough for 2 days of commuting.

2. There’s only one stop while riding an electric scooter: Your destination.
No more waiting on the bus or standing on the train for your platform to come by. With BGauss B8, it’ll just take one click on the push-button start to reach your destination with ease!

3. No more strangers taking over your personal space.
One of the best things about travelling on a two-wheeler vehicle is the comfort of having your personal space. Enjoy a nice and breezy ride all to yourself or with someone you know with your electric vehicle. Plus, these scooters are noise-free too! So no more clutter.

4. Catch up with the news, not the bus schedule.
With electric scooters, you can take your time to leave your home, have a healthy breakfast, catch up with worldly updates, or get extra sleep if necessary. Plus, BGauss B8 has an estimated range of 70 km, which is perfect for a comfortable and hassle-free ride in and around your city.

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!

5 Reasons Why Electric Two Wheelers Just Make Sense!

BGauss · April 26, 2022 ·

If you’re someone who commutes every day back and forth for work or personal reasons, a two-wheeler electric scooter is an excellent choice to help cut down travel costs. Especially with the busy streets of India and the increasing cost of fuel, there’s been no better time to switch to electric than now! To break it down, below are the five reasons why purchasing an electric two-wheeler is perfect for you.

1. The maintenance cost of an e-scooter won’t slim down your wallet. How?
Electric scooters consume around one-three units of electricity per charge. This costs approximately Rs. 10 (per unit). Even if your electric scooter requires more than 3.5 units per charge. You’ll still be paying no more than Rs. 35-40 (per charge.) In comparison, the cost of petrol per 100km of the ride would cost over Rs.150, assuming your vehicle has a mileage of 70kmpl.

Another benefit of owning an electric scooter is that it comparatively requires lesser maintenance as it has fewer moving parts and simpler mechanics. However, it is essential to get your two-wheeler checked as per your service appointment to help you detect issues that might escalate later. With proper care, an e-scooter can save you a lot of money and time and keep you stress-free and safe. Both BGauss B8 and A2 are built with the highest technology and security features such as short-circuit prevention and over-charging protection, to keep you worry-free!

3. Good for the earth, even better for you!
Most electric vehicles are powered by lead-acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries. The best electric two-wheeler vehicles are the ones with Lithium-ion batteries. Although they’re comparatively more expensive than lead-acid batteries, they are durable, long-lasting, practical and good for the environment. Plus, with electric scooters, you can eliminate the dependency on fuel, reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a greener and pollution-free environment.

4. Even more affordable than a fuel operated bike!
Let’s say you’re heading towards the malls and you’ve got to park your electric scooter with a dozen of two-wheeler vehicles. Already annoyed it’ll be a hassle to find your scooter once you’re back? Well, not anymore. Both BGauss B8 and A2 are equipped with the ‘Find your scooter’ feature that makes it easy to locate your two-wheeler instantly! Other fun features include the reverse mode, side stand sensor, push start button, anti-theft alarm and remote lock and unlock!

4. Batteries that are quickly and conveniently rechargeable
You may think recharging an electric scooter is time-consuming and a hassle but BGauss electric scooters are powered by removable lithium-ion batteries which can be charged within 3 hours anywhere in a normal charging mode. The best part is that both B8 and A2 can be recharged from the comfort of your home, office, cafes etc. Plus, lithium-ion batteries are 60-70% lighter than regular batteries and are designed to give you a comfortable, light and stress-free ride through the city traffic. The batteries used in BGauss can be recharged for a couple of years and post that there is also a process defined to recycle the batteries.

It’s quite evident that electric vehicles are the future of transportation since they have plenty of benefits for us and the environment. If you’re looking to purchase an affordable, smart and stylish electric scooter then BGauss is the right choice for you! Plus with its environmentally friendly aspect, you can also bring sense to your city.

Electric Scooter In Nizamabad

BGauss Sense in the city · March 22, 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 Nizamabad. As most of you must be aware, Nizamabad, a district in Telangana, is aptly known as a rich heritage site. Nizamabad is equally blessed by nature as well with beautiful lakes like Alisagar and Nizamsagar.

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 Nizamabad 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 Nizamabad 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 Nizamabad? 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 Nizamabad increases, the traffic and congestion on the road will automatically decrease.

Incase you’re not convinced, here are some other noteworthy features:
With BGauss, you have the option to choose between a high-speed variant, the B8 model or the low-speed A2 model. Both models come in a range of trendy colors and offer a host of unique features, including keyless start, side stand sensor, anti-theft alarm, reverse mode, LED dashboard, USB charging port, etc.

All BGauss e-scooters come with a removable Lithium-ion battery, with a 3 year warranty. The best part is, you can charge it anywhere by plugging the battery into a standard charging outlet.
Most electric scooters once completely charged have a relatively lesser range. BGauss on the other hand, once completely charged, can travel a distance of 70 – 75kms, and offer a speed of up to 50 kmph. This is more than sufficient for both legs of your daily commute, and can even make for an excellent long-distance trip within the city!

BGauss also has a strong dealership network of 900+ electrical and infrastructure solutions, 25000+ retail touchpoints, 4000+ employees and 85+ countries global sales.

You can have a hassle free experience with BGauss, given their 3 years warranty on the B8 model.
Most electric scooters in the similar price bracket as BGauss either compromise on the range, top speed, quality or external build. BGauss on the other hand, provides high grade German technology and the best range, speed and quality to ensure a fun and safe riding experience for its customers at a pocket friendly cost of Rs. 62,999 and 52,499 for B8 and A2 respectively. Those who are looking to purchase one by exchanging their old ICE scooter can do so with the added advantage of getting approximately ₹25,000 off, in addition to leveraging Government mandated scrappage schemes and tax rebates.

BGauss is not only a form of sustainable transport but also a style statement in itself. It comes with a 360-degree chrome finish, multi-colour digital display, designer LED projector lamps and powerful taillights that ensures clear visibility and signature style. Plus it’s IP67 rated!

The Government of India has also introduced various subsidies to incentivise people to switch to electric commuting. Under the Fame 1 subsidy, a total of 314 charging stations had been installed state wise across the country. Whereas, under Fame 2, the Government installed a total of 2867 stations, amounting to a staggering 900% increase!

Factors like these assure a convenient experience to electric vehicle owners. India is on a mission to have 80% of all two-wheeler and three-wheelers on the roads to be electric by 2030. The scope of growth for this market is unparalleled!

To help you bring sense to your commute by making the switch to electric scooters in Nizamabadmore easily, we have recently launched a showroom at Armoor Road. It opened its doors to conscious commuters a few months ago and has seen tremendous success ever since!
