We had a chance to ride the BGauss RUV 350 Max & here’s what we think about its real-world performance

Unconventional design, with large 16-inch wheels & minimal body panels – Looks like South-East Asian underbone scooter

Powered by a 3.5kW motor, offering a claimed top speed of 75kmph

Gets 3 riding modes: Eco, Ride, and Sport – Well differentiated in terms of acceleration & top speed

Eco limits the top speed to 45kmph, Ride to 60kmph, and the Sport Mode to 75kmph

Gets a 3kWh battery pack with a claimed real world range of 120km – Charges from 0-100% in 6 hours & 50 minutes

Handles quite well & tips into corners eagerly thanks to the large 16-inch wheels

Gets 130mm drum brakes at both ends – Offers decent braking performance considering that these aren’t disc brakes

Reverse mode & cruise control are standard, with dedicated buttons for both

Gets a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity – Offers features such as turn-by-turn navigation & Call/SMS alerts

But navigating through the console is hard without a dedicated button – A 4-way switch cube would have made things easier
