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!

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.

2. Regularly inspect the tyres of your e-scooter: A crucial aspect of maintaining your e-scooter is to regularly check the tyres for any wear and tear. Always refer to the user manual provided by the manufacturer. And make sure to maintain the right amount of tread, particularly during the colder seasons.

3. Maintain the battery of your e-scooter: The battery of your electric scooter is critical for its performance. Here are a few points to keep in mind to maintain the battery of your e-scooter.

Always use the original charger since the voltage for different chargers varies and can damage the battery of your electric scooter.
Store your electric scooter battery in the proper temperature range, whether you plan to use it the next day or leave it for a while. Check your unit’s specifications as well, because each one has a different ideal temperature.
The battery of your e-scooter may still be heated after charging it; hence it’s better to wait for 30 minutes before your next ride. BGauss e-scooters come with temperature control, overcharging protection, over-discharging protection and many other features that can keep your battery safe and you stress-free!
If you intend to park your e-scooter for long periods of time, then it’s best to give it a full charge once in 30 days. This practice will keep your battery healthy and avoid premature replacement.

4. Avoid contact of battery with water: BGauss electric scooters are IP67 rated making them completely waterproof and dustproof. However, just like any other electronic device, never allow too much water to shower over the battery or any of its parts for a long time during the rainy season or seasonal flooding situation. Keeping the battery neat and clean will certainly make it more efficient in the long run.

5. Regular servicing: Electric scooters have relatively simpler mechanics and can be easily fixed with basic tools. However, regularly getting a check-up of your e-scooter is essential to detect issues before they escalate. At BGauss, we recommend customers visit the service center as per the service schedule for a regular battery health check-up.

With proper care and precautions, you can easily maintain your electric scooter.

BGauss B8 is an excellent pick if you’re searching for a budget-friendly and low-maintenance e-scooter. It comes with high technology and security features and is priced at INR 82,999/-, truly giving you value for your money.

Now imagine experiencing this every day while riding the BGauss range of premium electric scooters. These sustainable yet sophisticated scooters carry an engaging personality and indeed turn heads wherever they go! Before justifying why we’re saying this, let’s take a quick look at what electric two-wheelers are.

Electric scooters fall under the roof of Electric Vehicles (EV) and are in the two-wheeled form. They come fitted with a rechargeable battery. Their engine power ranges from 250W to 1900W, enabling the scooters to attain a 25 km/hr speed to 50 km/hr.

Electric scooters are becoming increasingly popular in metropolitan cities as an optimal commute solution. As per Business Insider, most current and potential customers are concerned about two essential features of electric scooter: their price and efficiency. Customers prefer investing in an electric scooter that is budget-friendly and can provide maximum speed with no transmission loss. At BGauss, we truly understand what customers are looking for in an electric two-wheeler, and this has informed the creation of products that exceed expectations.

BGauss electric scooters come in two models, B8 and A2. The B8 is available in four colours: Silk Red, Sparkling Blue, Nebula Grey, and Pearl White. The low-speed variant A2 is offered in three colours: Caspian Blue, Glacier Ice and Super White. Each of these products has distinct specifications, designs, features, etc.

The two product ranges have various essential features in common, some of which are highlighted below:

Headlights: The scooters boast designer LED projector lights in their BGauss B8 model, Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), which is bright white light, which gives the driver a crystal-clear vision compliments well with the scooter’s overall style and exterior look.
Paint Quality: Something that contributes heavily to the scooters’ appearance is superior quality paint on the surface. This ensures longer life, extra gloss finish and most importantly, resistance and protection against UV with a special coating. This coating is also resistant to high heat and temperatures.
Boot Space: The storage or boot space of BGauss rides allow the rider to store more than just bike accessories or essentials. This feature prevents the inconvenience of balancing bags and packages in a small room in the footrest area.
Anti-theft and Anti-alarm: Usually, this feature predominantly appears in cars, but the BGauss brand comes with uncompromised safety. Thanks to the advanced anti-theft motor locking and anti-theft alarm features, customers need not worry about theft and vandalism of their vehicles.
Tyre and Wheels: Both B8 and A2 scooters have tubeless tyres that are designed to be airtight. These make them capable of handling punctures better. Tubeless tyres also come with a repair kit that doesn’t involve removing the wheel. The wheels of the BGauss electric scooter are lightweight yet sturdy as they are made from alloy. The back tyre has a rear disc brake whilst there is a disc brake double piston in the front tyre with 180 mm high quality, making the scooter more reliable.
Find your scooter: This extraordinary feature lets you find your scooter when you are not sure where you parked it, you have to press the unlock button on the remote, and the scooter will beep. This helps you park your scooter without worrying about finding it.
Reverse Mode: The reverse mode in the BGauss electric scooters can conveniently and safely turn the scooter backwards.
