The Suzuki e-Access is one of the most highly anticipated electric scooter launches in 2025 and we finally had the opportunity to ride it on a fun karting track in Bengaluru. Suzuki is yet to reveal the prices of the e-Access and we understand that the company will announce the prices in the next few days. The e-Access will of course try to utilise the highly successful ‘Access’ brand name, and look to emulate the success of the Access 125, which is still the highest-selling 125 cc scooter in India.
Suzuki e-Access: Design
Now, the first ever electric scooter from Suzuki carries a simple, clutter-free design and yes, it does look different from the Access 125. The e-Access has a sharper front end, with a sleeker LED headlight and a vertical DRL running down the front apron. The silhouette is different too, with the e-Access having a tighter, more compact proportions. The rear section has a dual-tone colour finish, with the fibroin grey going really well with the pearl jade green. All in all, a no-nonsense design that will appeal to maximum buyers.
Suzuki e-Access: Features & Specifications
The e-Access weighs in at 122 kg, which is relatively light and has a seat height of 765 mm. And the ground clearance is a decent 160 mm. The space under the seat is less than that of its rivals, but is enough to pack in some groceries and a small-sized half-face helmet.
In terms of features, there is a 4.2-inch TFT LCD screen which offers good legibility and you get features like smartphone/app connectivity, three riding modes which are eco, ride mode A and ride mode B where the mode A gets stronger regen. Both modes offer a top speed of 71 kmph, while the top speed in the eco mode is 55 kmph. Then, there’s a reverse mode as well but on a scooter this light, it isn’t entirely necessary.
Now, the e-Access gets a 3.072 kWh LFP battery, which offers a claimed range of 95 km. Real-world range can be expected to be around 75-80 km, depending on your usage. We were going pretty hard around the track, which meant that the battery levels were dropping quickly. Peak power output is 4.1 kW and the peak torque output is 15 Nm.
Suzuki e-Access: Handling
While riding the e-Access at Meco Kartopia, a fun and technical go-kart track in Bengaluru, the first thing that captured my attention was the agility and the nimbleness that the scooter showcased. It felt quite easy to manoeuvre and there was good grip from the tyres too. The scooter turned in so well that most of us ended up scraping the centre stands and having a nervy moment here and there. Lot of fun was had while negotiating corners on the karting track.
