The e-Burgman, a brand-new advancement in the world of electric two-wheelers, has been unveiled by Suzuki Motor Corporation. Burgman’s first official pictures and technical specifications are now available. The e-Burgman, which has already undergone spying tests in India, will now move on to advanced testing in Tokyo, Japan.
The Suzuki Burgman electric scooter is a part of a larger initiative in Japan to encourage battery sharing and expand the use of e2Ws. Suzuki is collaborating with the Tokyo-based battery sharing service Gachaco Co., Ltd. Eight Burgman electric scooters will be used in field tests that will last three months, from April to June 2023.
It is a Class-2 light electric scooter with impressive specifications. Suzuki’s e-Burgman has a range of up to 44 kilometres on a single charge when ridden steadily at 60 kilometres per hour.
It has a 0.98kW rated output, a 4.0kW maximum output, and an 18Nm maximum torque. The following measurements apply: 1,825mm in length, 765mm in width, 1,140mm in height, and 780mm in seat height. The vehicle weighs 147 kg at the kerb. It has a lithium-ion battery and a synchronous AC motor for power.
In addition to Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Suzuki is a member of the Swappable Battery Consortium for Electric Scooters. The consortium is attempting to standardise replacement systems and swappable batteries.
A significant step towards expanding the use of electric two-wheelers in Japan and battery sharing. Common specifications were taken from the technical paper TP21003. For swappable batteries that address concerns about drive range and charging time, development standards have been adjusted. The consortium has also been working with e-Yan OSAKA on field tests to encourage the use of electric scooters.
