BGauss Scooters

Factors To Remember Before Buying A BGauss Electric Scooter

If you are in the market to buy an electric scooter and are considering BGauss models, have a look at these points.

1. Range

Range is an important factor when buying an electric scooter. RUV 350 comes with an ARAI certified range of 145 km while the Max C12 gets a range of 123 km. If your requirements meet these criteria, consider the other points.

2. Feature Requirements

BGauss scooters are loaded with features such as Cruise control, regenerative braking, TFT display and USB charging ports. These features greatly enhance the comfort and safety factor of BGauss scooters.

3. Charging

Ensure that you have easy access to a charging port. A port in your house or office will let you charge the scooter while it's idling and reduce the biggest pain point of an electric scooter.

4. Warranty And Service Interval

BGauss offers a 3-year/30,000 km warranty on all of its models, which can be extended to 5 years/ 1 lakh km. Ask dealers about the service interval and costs so you can add these costs and plan your budget accordingly.

5. Availability Of Spare Parts

BGauss only produces EVs which come with fewer parts. Ask the dealership if the spare parts for these models are available and how much they cost. Confirm that these parts can be acquired quickly and do not take long.

Tips To Buy BGauss Electric Scooters

1. Test Drive Models

Taking a test drive of the BGauss models will let you get a feel of the electric scooter. Note your default driving position, seat comfort and how the scooters deal with bumps and potholes.

2. Charging Times

The MAX C12 takes 6-7 hours to charge, meanwhile the RUV 350 takes around 3 hours. Consider which scooter fits your schedule better, as waiting for the scooter to charge will make you despise your purchase.

3. Battery Quality

Both BGauss models are offered with Lithium-ion batteries. These battery packs are reliable for a long time, especially compared to Lead-Acid batteries. Do remember to ask about the cost of replacing batteries, as they account for the costly part in an electric scooter.

4. Confirm Real World Range

The claimed range of batteries usually does not translate to real-life range. Road conditions, load and driving habits all affect battery range, and often in a negative way. Ask other owners or the dealership about the real-world range that you can expect from the BGauss RUV 350 and MAX C12.

5. Ask About Delivery Timeline

Before making a purchase, ask the dealership about the delivery timeline for the electric scooter of your choice. Sometimes models are out of stock with specific colours, so if you are considering a colour choice and it's not readily available, consider buying some other shade.
