The smaller A2 caters to the slow-speed e-scooter segment while the more premium B8 competes in the high-speed electric scooter space. The latter is available in three battery options: lead-acid, lithium-ion and Li technology while the A2 comes with either a lead-acid or lithium-ion battery pack.

Powering the A2 is a 250-watt BLDC motor that delivers a claimed top speed of 25kmph. The lead-acid battery variant takes around 7 to 8 hours for a full charge, while the 1.29KW lithium-ion version takes up to 2 hours 15 minutes. A claimed range of 110km should be ample for your daily commutes.

If you’re looking for a bit more performance, the B8 is the way to go. It’s powered by a larger 1.9kW Bosch BLDC electric motor that offers a claimed top speed of 50kmph. You can choose between battery options as mentioned before. The lead-acid version can be fully charged in 7-8 hours and offers a range of 78km while the lithium battery pack B8 delivers a lower range of 70km and takes 3 hours for a full charge. Both the A2 and B8 come with three riding modes. Head here for a detailed look at both the scooters.

In terms of rivals, the smaller BGauss A2 takes on the Gemopai Miso and Hero Electric Optima LA while the BGauss B8 will lock horns with other homegrown premium scooters like the Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike.  For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX.
