The scooter has been launched by the name of E-access in India and would be known as the e-address in the overseas market. This would be the EV version of the 125 cc combustion version of the Access that has been on sale for quite sometime in India. The launch is one of the first step taken in the direction of a carbon neutral society, and Suzuki would soon be launching more EV vehicles in the Indian market.
Beyond the release of just EV vehicles Toshiro Suzuki also spoke about how they would be launching synthetic fuels, Hydrogen Engines and biofuels that would allow the brand to achieve carbon neutrality. Suzuki has committed to eight EV’s by 2030 as reported by Motorcyclenews.com.

The swingarm mounted motor in the scooter would propel it with the power of around 4.1kw and a peak torque of 15 nm. The Top speed would be anywhere around 71 kph.

E-Access Styling Changes
Suzuki has given the scooter a completely new styling that allows the vehicle to have a very different look than that of the ICE version of the Access 125. The EV scooter would have a seat height of 765 mm slightly lower than that of its petrol counterpart. Despite that , thanks to Suzuki’s engineering the vehicle would have a slightly higher ground clearance. The weight of the scooter would be around 122 kg which makes it even heavier than the petrol scooter that it would be sold along with.
