As electric mobility gains traction in India, the focus is shifting from just battery range to durability, reliability, low maintenance, and long-term value. Suzuki Motorcycle India (SMIPL) is leading this transition with its first electric offering, the Suzuki e-ACCESS. Rather than following the trend of chasing range headlines, Suzuki is focusing on real-world performance and durable battery choices. The company has chosen to equip the Suzuki e-ACCESS with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology, which is known for its longer cycle life, better thermal stability, and lower risk of overheating.
The LFP battery in the Suzuki e-ACCESS offers a range of 95 km with a 3.1 kWh battery, which is aligned with the average Indian two-wheeler user’s daily travel distance of 30 km. This range supports three days of typical urban commuting on a single charge, reducing charging frequency while maintaining optimal ride quality. By prioritizing balance over bulk, Suzuki retains the agile handling and responsive performance that riders expect from the brand.
The battery is housed within a rugged aluminum casing and integrated directly into the scooter’s frame for enhanced protection. Every battery and component undergoes rigorous testing procedures, including exposure to extreme heat and cold, submersion, vibration, drop, puncture, crush, and motor bench tests. This engineering approach and quality assurance measures reflect Suzuki’s broader manufacturing ethos of building machines that last and minimize the chances of damage in real-world conditions.
The Suzuki e-ACCESS is designed to redefine the future of e-mobility, with a focus on battery stability, safety, and maintenance costs. Rather than chasing trends, the brand is focused on building electric vehicles that are robust, rider-friendly, and future-ready. Suzuki is preparing its existing dealership network to be fully EV-ready across the country, with trained technical staff and dedicated service infrastructure to meet the specific needs of electric two-wheeler customers.
The company’s intent is to lead with purpose, bringing to market products that reflect deep engineering insight and an understanding of what Indian riders truly need. With the Suzuki e-ACCESS, the company signals its commitment to delivering not just advanced electric vehicles but also reliable and seamless support throughout the customer’s ownership journey. By choosing LFP battery technology and prioritizing durability and reliability, Suzuki is setting a new standard for electric two-wheelers in India.
