BGauss RUV350 Electric Scooter Unveiled Ahead of India Launch on June 25

BGauss, the Chakan-based manufacturer, has unveiled its upcoming RUV350 electric scooter in India. Upon arrival, the BGauss RUV350 will join the C12i in the existing lineup. The latter is available in three variants in India – the C12i EX, the C12i Max 2.0, and the C12i Max, with prices ranging from Rs 1.13 lakh to Rs 1.39 lakh (ex-showroom, India). While the pricing and specifications of the new RUV350 – BGauss' first RUV for India – will be made known on June 25, a set of official images reveals what appears to be large alloy wheels, likely to be 16 or 17 inches in size. There also seems to be a decent-sized footboard to make the ride comfortable, while the hardware looks all but basic with telescopic front forks, a rear monoshock, and drum brakes at both ends. 

Besides, the BGauss RUV350 should get a fully digital instrument cluster and all-LED illumination. BGauss says the RUV350 is built to tackle all terrains.

BGauss RUV350: Technical Specs

The RUV350 could be positioned above the C12i as the company's premium offering. Speaking of the C12i, BGauss launched the scooter in 2023 in the country. The entry-level C12i EX, launched in September last year, gets a 2kWh lithium-ion battery with an ARAI-certified range of 85km. While the mid-spec C12i Max 2.0 runs on a 2.7kWh battery offering a claimed range of 123km, the top-end C12i Max has a 3.2kWh battery pack with a range of 135km on a single charge.

Whether the new BGauss RUV350 will get the same battery and motor options as the C12i is yet to be seen. In terms of market competition, the RUV350 will take on the Ola S1 Air, Ather 450S, Bajaj Chetak, and the TVS iQube.
