Suzuki is preparing to launch its first electric two-wheeler in the form of eAccess.

Ahead of its launch let us look at some of key expectation from the upcoming electric scooter:
Suzuki e Access: Expected Design
The design of the Suzuki eAccess is nothing like its petrol-powered namesake. It’s a classic case where a manufacturer is trying to utilise the name of its most famous product to get more traction on the new product. features sharp design lines with a raked front, flat side panels, a large footboard, and a flat seat. The headlight is nestled within the cowl of the handlebar whereas the apron features twin LED position lamps.
The overall design is a lot sleeker and simpler than the petrol-powered Access 125. The e-ACCESS will be available in three dual-tone colour options – Metallic Mat Black No.2/ Metallic Mat Bordeaux Red, Pearl Grace White/ Metallic Mat Fibroin Gray and Pearl Jade Green/ Metallic Mat Fibroin Gray.
Suzuki e Access: Expected Features
The eAccess comes equipped with a decent set of features including keyless entry, a colour TFT intrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation with real time traffic alerts, LED headlight, tailight, and winkers, USB charging port, side-stand interlock system, and tip-over detection.
Suzuki e Access: Expected Hardware
In terms of hardware, the Suzuki eAccess sits on telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock. Braking hardware comprises disc brake up front and a drum brake at the rear. The scooter rides on 12-inch front and rear wheels.
