SUZUKI E-ACCESS

FOR Unconventional Battery Technology AGAINST Low on storage

- Drumil Modi

After multiple entries from startups and legacy brands like TVS and Bajaj, it’s finally Suzuki’s turn to step into the electric scooter game. Unveiled earlier this year at the Bharat Mobility Expo, the long-awaited Suzuki e-Access is now set to hit the roads. We've gotten astride it to see how the electric Access fares and how it stands apart from the competition. Let’s dig in!

Design & Build Quality

In terms of design, the e-Access doesn’t scream “EV” at first glance. For the most part, it resembles a conventional ICE scooter. It features all-LED lighting, including a rectangular headlamp reminiscent of the one found on the 2025 Suzuki Access, paired with a twin indicator setup. There’s also a vertically-oriented LED position light that runs up the centre of the e-Access’ front fascia, adding a subtle futuristic touch. However, the tail indicators, shaped like small cones, do stand out, though perhaps not in the best way, as their design feels a bit odd and out of place.

Overall, the e-Access has an unmistakably Japanese design. It has tight, well-finished panels, a sharp overall profile, and a build quality that feels solid and premium. I genuinely liked what Suzuki has brought to the table here. The scooter comes in three striking colour options: Pearl Grace White, Pearl Jage Green, and Metallic Mat Black. The switchgear feels tactile and satisfying to use—another subtle touch that enhances the premium experience.

That said, not everything is perfect. The under-seat storage, at 17 litres, isn’t the biggest in its segment. Storage space is one of the biggest advantages scooters have over bikes, and this shortfall takes away from an otherwise solid package.
