Suzuki, one of the most trusted two-wheeler brands in India, is entering the electric mobility space with the Suzuki Burgman Electric. Based on the popular Burgman Street scooter, this EV brings a mix of futuristic design, premium comfort, and eco-friendly technology. With the electric scooter segment growing rapidly in India, Suzuki aims to compete directly with Ola, Ather, and TVS.
Stylish Design Inspired by Burgman Street
The Burgman Electric carries forward the maxi-scooter styling of the Burgman Street. It comes with a wide front apron, LED headlights, large side panels, and a comfortable step-through design. Unlike traditional scooters, it has a bulkier and premium stance, making it look futuristic on the roads.
The scooter is expected to be offered in dual-tone shades with blue accents, highlighting its electric character.
Battery and Motor Performance
Suzuki has not officially disclosed the complete specifications yet, but as per reports, the Burgman Electric will come with a 4 kW electric motor paired with a lithium-ion battery pack. The scooter is expected to deliver a top speed of around 75–80 km/h and a real-world range of 80–90 km per charge.
The battery will likely support fast charging, making it convenient for urban commuters.

Its lightweight chassis combined with strong braking (disc brake at front and drum/disc at rear with CBS/ABS) will give riders confidence in city traffic.
