Suzuki Burgman Street Electric: The much-anticipated all-electric scooter has finally made its debut in India. After months of spy shots and patent leaks, Suzuki Motorcycle India has pulled the covers off its first all-electric scooter. Designed to take on rivals like the Bajaj Chetak Electric, Ather 450X, and TVS iQube, the Burgman EV blends Suzuki’s maxi-scooter styling with an eco-friendly electric heart.

Every testing unit spotted so far has showcased a dual-tone white and blue paint scheme, which is expected to be offered at launch.
