What Suzuki Says About the e-Access
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Kenichi Umeda, Managing Director, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd., stated that the e-Access represents Suzuki’s first global strategic battery electric vehicle. According to him, the scooter focuses on long-life battery performance, agile handling, seamless acceleration and high-quality fit and finish, while ensuring an easy, enjoyable and worry-free ownership experience.
Engineered with Suzuki e-Technology
At the heart of the scooter is Suzuki e-Technology, built around five core strengths that focus on real-world usability rather than just headline numbers.
1. Reliability and Durability: The Suzuki e-Access undergoes rigorous global-standard testing, including:
- Submersion tests
- Extreme temperature testing
- Drop and vibration tests
- Comprehensive battery safety evaluations
This ensures the scooter can handle Indian road and weather conditions with ease.
2. Long Battery Life with LFP Technology: The e-Access uses a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, which offers up to four times longer life compared to conventional Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries. This also improves safety and thermal stability.
3. Agile and Stable Handling: A lightweight chassis combined with an aluminium battery case integrated into the frame improves rigidity, cornering confidence and straight-line stability. The result is a scooter that feels predictable and balanced in daily riding.
4. Seamless Acceleration in Every Situation: Powering the scooter is a 4.1 kW motor producing 15 Nm of torque, delivering smooth and consistent acceleration even when the State of Charge drops to 10%. The scooter also gets three ride modes, reverse mode and regenerative braking.
5. Premium Fit and Finish: Suzuki has paid close attention to quality with features like LED lighting, two-tone alloy wheels and a maintenance-free drive belt that offers a lifespan of up to 7 years or 70,000 km. Panel gaps, switches and levers feel solid and vibration-free.
Ride Modes Explained
The Suzuki e-Access offers three drive modes to suit different riding needs:
- Eco Mode: Limits top speed to 55 km/h, prioritizes energy efficiency and strengthens regenerative braking to maximize range.
- Ride Mode A: Delivers maximum power and top speed of 71 km/h, with stronger regenerative braking (2 kW) for quicker deceleration.
- Ride Mode B: Also offers maximum output and 71 km/h top speed, but with lower regenerative braking (1 kW) for smoother coasting.
Reverse Mode for Easy Parking
The Reverse Mode assists riders while maneuvering in tight parking spaces. After stopping, the rider presses the reverse button while holding the brakes and gently operates the throttle to move backward. This function is designed strictly for parking assistance.
