Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL) showcased an extensive portfolio of multi-pathway mobility solutions at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, centred on the theme 'Spectrum of Mobility'.

The highlight was the unveiling of Suzuki’s first electric scooter, the e-ACCESS, a bold step toward electric mobility. The company also introduced the all-new Access 125, offering a blend of urban elegance, superior engine performance and modern features for an enhanced commuting experience. Further broadening its portfolio, Suzuki launched its inaugural E85-compliant motorcycle, the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel, aimed at propelling India towards a carbon-neutral future.

Talking about the new products unveiled, Suzuki Motorcycle India Managing Director Kenichi Umeda, said, “Spectrum of Mobility - the theme for this year’s Bharat Mobility Global Expo, resonates with Suzuki’s commitment to carbon neutrality and its multi-pathway approach to realizing this goal. At Suzuki Motorcycle India, this vision comes to life through the introduction of our new products: e-ACCESS, our first electric scooter, the ethanol-compatible GIXXER SF 250 Flex Fuel and the new Access with improved fuel economy. Serving our customers with the highest level of satisfaction and hospitality remains our top priority”.

Speaking at the event Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, President Toshihiro Suzuki said, “At Suzuki Motor Corporation, we are committed to our goal of carbon neutrality through a multi-pathway approach. While battery electric vehicles play an important role, they are not the only way to the carbon neutrality. We are also focusing on alternative options such as E-Fuels, Hydrogen Engines, Bio-Fuel models, and better fuel economy in internal combustion engines. The Indian market is largest for Suzuki, and we are committed to the market. By staying true to our mission of creating products of superior value and focusing on customer satisfaction, we aim to grow further in the motorcycle business and contribute meaningfully to customers’ needs.”

The e-Access

The e-Access represents Suzuki’s commitment to quality and innovation, delivering on key promises of style, performance, reliability, practicality and connectivity. Powered by a rigorously tested 3.07 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, the e-Access ensures enhanced safety, long battery life, and durability. Its fixed battery pack, securely housed within the frame, provides additional protection.

Charging options cater to both home and portable use, with a full charge achievable in 6 hours and 42 minutes using a portable charger or 2 hours and 12 minutes with a fast charger. Suzuki’s proprietary E-technology powers the EV drivetrain, enabling a maximum speed of 71 km/h, peak power output of 4.1 kW, and torque of 15 Nm. The scooter offers a range of 95 km per charge, with energy consumption rated at 39Wh/km.

Advanced features include three drive modes—Eco, Ride A, and Ride B—plus a reverse mode for convenience. Safety is prioritised with systems like side-stand interlock and tip-over detection. The keyless system enables remote locking and unlocking, while a multi-function starter switch integrates controls for seat opening, steering lock, and charging inlet. Both centre and side stands further enhance practicality.

A vibrant TFT LCD screen and smartphone integration via the Suzuki Ride Connect-E app offer real-time navigation and traffic updates. Premium design details include raised nameplates and a metallic-finish chrome "S" emblem. The e-Access will debut in three dual-tone colour schemes: Metallic Mat Black No. 2/Metallic Mat Bordeaux Red, Pearl Grace White/Metallic Mat Fibroin Grey, and Pearl Jade Green/Metallic Mat Fibroin Grey. Pricing will be revealed closer to launch.

All-New Access 125: Urban Mobility Refined

The all-new Access 125 is engineered for improved acceleration, superior fuel economy, and enhanced comfort. At its core is a 125cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine compliant with OBD-2B norms and equipped with Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP) technology. This engine delivers 6.2 kW at 6,500 rpm and torque of 10.2 Nm at 5,000 rpm, ensuring smooth performance in city traffic.

The scooter’s design enhancements include an LED position light, LED tail lamp, and a front lock-operated external fuel lid. Practicality is increased with dual front pockets, expanded under-seat storage, and a larger fuel tank. Rider comfort is prioritised with an improved rear suspension layout, ergonomic seating, and aluminium footrests. Safety features include a passing switch, hazard switch, and brake lock on the rear left lever.

The Bluetooth-enabled multi-function digital instrument cluster now offers new features such as calendar and rain alerts, ambient weather updates, periodic service notifications, a digital wallet, and renewal reminders, all accessible via the Suzuki Ride Connect app.

The Access 125 is available in three variants—Standard, Special, and Ride Connect Edition—across five colours: Solid Ice Green, Pearl Shiny Beige, Metallic Mat Stellar Blue, Pearl Grace White, and Metallic Mat Black No. 2. Pricing begins at INR 81,700 (ex-showroom Delhi).

To support ethanol-based fuels, the motorcycle incorporates upgraded components such as a modified injector, fuel pump, and fuel filter, making it fully compatible with E85 fuel.

The Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel boasts a European-inspired aerodynamic design featuring a wide LED headlamp, Gixxer-styled LED tail lamp, and a sporty dual muffler.

BikeWo Green Tech is aiming to expand its operating fleet to approximately 10,000 vehicles during FY2026-27, supported by a preferential warrant issue of more than INR 760 million.

The expansion forms part of a corporate transition from vehicle sales and distribution toward electric vehicle asset ownership, fleet operations, leasing and logistics technology, operating under the initiative name BikeWo Ascend.

As part of this strategy, BikeWo has secured agreements with Reliance Industries’ Bio Energy Division to supply and deploy electric tractors fitted with loader, catcher and grabber equipment, along with vehicle operation and driver services. The contracts hold an estimated total value of INR 66.4 million, with validity extending through July 2033 for use in biomass-handling and bio-energy operations.

Hiten Pal Saklani, CEO, BikeWo Green Tech, said, "For us, BikeWo Ascend is about building a much larger business around electric mobility. We started with vehicles, but we see a significantly bigger opportunity in the infrastructure, operations and technology that enable those vehicles to deliver value. Our engagement in the bio-energy sector is an encouraging example of how specialised electric mobility can find applications beyond conventional transportation."

The business model covers mid-mile, last-mile and long-mile commercial transport, alongside enterprise fleet management and charging infrastructure. To support the operational shift, BikeWo has named Sumanth Badiga, an executive with 30 years of experience in the automotive sector, to its Advisory Board.

"Scale for us is not simply about putting more vehicles on the road. It is about building the operating capability around those vehicles. We want to create a platform that can bring together the right assets, partners, technology and operating capabilities for different mobility requirements. As we expand across India, that is the business we are focused on building," added Saklani.

The company is listed on the National Stock Exchange under the ticker BIKEWO and plans to establish further operating partnerships across energy, logistics and technology sectors to support its fleet operations across India.
