Suzuki E Access Electric Scooter is finally here. And yes, it’s turning a lot of heads already. The company has taken its popular Access scooter and turned it electric. That means familiar comfort but with a cleaner heart and smarter tech.
People have been asking when Suzuki will join the EV race in India. With big names like Ola, Ather, and TVS already in the market, the wait was getting long. But now, Suzuki has shown they’re ready. And they’ve done it with style.
Let’s dive into every detail of the new E Access. From design to battery, range to price, features to booking updates—everything you need to know is right here.
Familiar yet fresh design
The E Access still looks like the petrol Access in some ways. That’s not a bad thing. It keeps that comfort-first approach that users already love. But Suzuki has made some smart changes to give it a modern electric vibe.
At the front, the LED headlamp is new. It’s sharper and gives a nice white glow. The indicators are sleeker. The apron design is more streamlined too.
From the side, the scooter looks clean. No unnecessary graphics or bulky panels. You get smooth lines and a premium feel. The footboard is wide and flat. That means enough space to carry bags or just stretch your legs.
The rear gets LED tail lamps and a small E Access badge. The alloy wheels look stylish. And you even get a side stand sensor, which is a good touch.
Suzuki is offering the scooter in fresh colors like matte silver, pearl white, deep blue, and a subtle green. All of them look classy.
Electric heart with smooth performance
The Suzuki E Access is powered by a mid-mounted electric motor. It’s silent, smooth, and tuned for city use. Don’t expect race-bike level power here. But what you get is more than enough for daily riding.
It produces around 4.5 kW of peak power. That gives it a top speed of around 75 km/h. Acceleration is quick and linear. You twist the throttle and it moves without delay.
There’s no gear, no clutch, and no vibration. Just twist and go. That’s what makes electric scooters so easy to ride. And Suzuki has nailed the tuning. It doesn’t feel jerky or lazy. Just natural and confident.
You also get two riding modes—Normal and Eco. Eco gives you more mileage, while Normal gives you better speed and throttle response.
Battery and range
This is the most exciting part for many riders. The E Access comes with a 3.5 kWh lithium-ion battery. It’s fixed under the floorboard. So it keeps the center of gravity low and the ride more balanced.
Suzuki claims a real-world range of 100 to 110 km on a single charge. That’s very competitive. Even if you ride hard or in traffic, you can expect around 90+ km, which is decent for most people.
Charging is simple too. With a regular home charger, it takes around 5 to 6 hours for a full charge. Suzuki will also offer a fast-charging option at select service centers.
You get a smart Battery Management System (BMS) that protects against overheating, overcharging, and short circuits. The battery is IP67-rated, so it’s safe during rains too.
Digital features and tech
This is where the E Access surprises you. Suzuki has added some smart touches here.
First, the fully digital instrument cluster. It shows speed, battery level, range left, ride mode, and turn signals. The screen is backlit and easy to read, even under sunlight.
Then there’s Bluetooth connectivity. Through the Suzuki Ride Connect app, you can check your scooter’s status. It shows trip history, battery health, and even lets you locate your scooter if you’ve parked it somewhere busy.
You can also receive call and SMS alerts on the screen while riding. It doesn’t distract much, and you can always disable it if you want a clean screen.
The E Access also comes with remote lock/unlock, anti-theft alarm, and geo-fencing in the top variant.
Comfort and ride quality
Suzuki scooters are known for comfort. And the E Access continues that tradition.
The seat is long and wide. It’s soft but firm enough for long rides. Pillion comfort is also good. There are strong grab rails and well-placed footrests.
Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front and a single shock absorber at the rear. The setup handles bumps well. Even speed breakers and rough patches are taken care of smoothly.
The ride is stable even at top speed. And the scooter doesn’t feel light or shaky like some other electric options in the market.
Brakes and safety
You get disc brakes in the front and drum brakes at the rear. Braking is confident and predictable. There’s CBS (Combined Braking System) too, which helps new riders stay safer.
The tyres are tubeless and grip well on both dry and wet roads. The frame is solid, and the build quality feels good when you sit on the scooter.
Other safety features include:
- Side stand cut-off
- Keyless start in top model
- Parking mode
- Reverse assist for tight spaces
- Hazard light function
Practical storage options
You get 21 liters of under-seat storage. It can easily hold a half-face helmet and a few extras. There’s also a front glove box for small items like a phone, wallet, or charger cable.
A USB charging port is placed near the glove box, which is handy during rides. The footboard is flat, so carrying grocery bags or a backpack is easy.
Variants and expected price
Suzuki is planning to launch the E Access in two variants—Standard and Smart Connect.
The base version will have the same motor and battery but fewer smart features. The top-end will have all the app-based controls and tech goodies.
Expected pricing is the best part. The base variant may start at around ₹78,000 (ex-showroom). The top version could go up to ₹88,000 to ₹90,000.
That’s very competitive. Especially when you compare it to Ola S1, TVS iQube, or Ather 450. Suzuki is clearly aiming at budget-conscious city riders.
India launch and booking updates
Suzuki has confirmed that the E Access will officially launch in early 2025. Bookings are expected to start by December 2024. You can book it online or at your nearest Suzuki showroom.
Delivery will begin in top cities first, followed by smaller towns. Suzuki also plans to expand its EV service network with trained technicians and charging points at showrooms.
Test rides may start in January, and demo units will be available at dealerships soon after the launch event.
