Suzuki has launched the e-Access at Rs 1,88,490 (ex-showroom, Delhi). For that money, you get an electric scooter with a 3.07kWh LFP (Lithium Ferro Phosphate) battery pack. That gives it a claimed range of just 95km! The scooter can be charged using a portable charger as well as a fast charger. The portable charger takes 6 hours 42 minutes to charge the battery completely, while the fast charger takes 2 hours and 12 minutes for the same. All that doesn't really add up, and hence the price makes no sense at all.
The e-scooter has a 4.1kW, 15Nm electric motor. It has three ride modes (Eco, Ride Mode A, and Ride Mode B), and can reach a claimed top speed of 55kmph in Eco mode. In the other two modes, it can reach a claimed top speed of 71kmph.
Underpinnings of the Suzuki e-Access include a telescopic fork and a single-sided shock absorber. It gets a 190mm front disc brake and a 130mm rear drum unit, with a combined braking system for more safety. It rolls on 12-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in a 90-section front and a 100-section rear tubeless tyre.
It’s quite feature-packed as well with its all-LED lighting setup, and the 4.2-inch TFT instrument console. The fully-digital console The console is equipped with smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth for turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS notifications, and even weather alerts.
The scooter comes in four colour schemes: Metallic Mat Black No.2 / Metallic Mat Bordeaux Red, Pearl Grace White / Metallic Mat Fibroin Gray, Pearl Jade Green / Metallic Mat Fibroin Gray, and Metallic Mat Stellar Blue / Metallic Mat Fibroin Gray. Bookings of the new e-scooter have started and it will also be available on Flipkart once its deliveries begin.
BikeDekho Says
The Suzuki e-Access does a lot of things right – performance is decent, and there’s enough practicality and features for everyday use. Being a Suzuki, we expect it to be quite reliable, and have consistent after sales support. However, none of that adds up to justify the price that the scooter commands. It’s a very basic scooter that commands a super premium price tag. To give you a better perspective, it’s a TVS Orbiter or Vida VX2 rival at a price higher than the Ather Apex. That completely blows away any value-for-money factor. At best, the Suzuki e-Access should have been priced at Rs 1.1 lakh (ex-showroom) if it were to make any sense.

Suzuki e Access User Reviews
- E-Access - Accessibility over High Performance.wanted an electric alternative. had an activa generation 2 before this. rented this from a friend in another state and have been riding it ever since. And since suzuki has their own platform for e-service, i was interested to ride it and check it out overall. about alright. suspension is on the stiffer side but overall smooth! the seat comfort and height is very friendly, as compared to other scooters in the market, anyone in the 5ft in range can easily ride this without any fear. I would recommend this bike only if you ride short distances. This is the kind of EV that offers average range as compared to the bigger brands that have been around for a decent bit, not to name any names. Overall, a 3.8 rating from my end is a good standard rating.Read More3 3
