    BGauss India has launched the D15 Electric scooter. The BGauss D15 is available in two variants – D15i and D15Pro. The difference between the two is that the D15i gets a single lithium-ion battery, while the latter gets an additional valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery.

    The BGauss D15 is powered by a hub mounted 3.1kW PMSM motor that develops 110Nm of peak torque. There are three modes – Eco, Sport and Reverse. BGauss claims the scooter can accelerate from 0-40kph in 7sec in Sport mode and hit a top speed of 60kph. The top speed falls to 50kph in Eco mode.
