Our review of BGauss B8 electric scooter
- It is lightweight. So easy handling for women and schoolgoing people.
- The height of the scooter is less. It is a plus point for people whose height is 5.6 feet or lower. The low height of the scooter is uncomfortable for taller people.
- The scooter looks stylish and comes in attractive colors.
- The power of the electric motor is just sufficient. We would have preferred a motor of at least 2.5 KW.
- The Lithium-Ion battery charges fairly quickly. But the lead-acid battery charging time is high.
- If you buy the lead-acid battery variant, then the point to remember is that this battery is not removable. You can’t take out the battery for charging in your home or office. In situ charging facility is required.
- Battery capacity is also on the lower side. Both lead-acid and Lithium-Ion battery should have been of higher capacity
- With a pillion rider, the mileage will reduce to near 60 Km. This our estimate.
- Ground clearance is also on the lower side. So be careful while driving on rough roads.
- The fiber body is not very sturdy. Better quality body panels should have been provided.
