Suzuki is known to be preparing an electric scooter version of the Suzuki Burgman. The latest info, this motorbike seems to be going into production soon because the patent image has appeared to the public.

But using the Burgman 125 as a base, then changing the engine to use an electric motor and battery. So far the development program has been carried out in India, but the process has slowed down due to an increase in air temperature, which affects the electrical system.
