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.

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.

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.

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.

Bhago Mobility has partnered Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India and Honda Power Pack Energy India to launch an electric last-mile rental service for Delhi Metro passengers.

The service, named BhaGoMo – iRide, has commenced operations at ITO Metro Station, marked as the first of six hub locations finalised with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.

As per the understanding, passengers will now be able to rent Honda Activa e: scooters at Gate No 3 for hourly or daily durations. The verification will occur through the Bhago app via DigiLocker, while vehicles use swappable batteries compatible with the Honda e:Swap network, which operates across 90 stations and 202 battery exchangers in Delhi NCR.

The partnership combines vehicle supply from Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, battery swapping infrastructure from Honda Power Pack Energy India, and digital platform management from Bhago Mobility. The companies plan to expand the service model to additional metro networks across Indian cities.

Aditya Goyal, Founder, Bhago Mobility, said, “The ITO launch is a beginning. Together, Bhago and its partners intend to replicate the metro-hub model across the country – taking the same combination of metro-station convenience, Honda-engineered vehicles, battery swapping and AI-powered operations to metro networks and transit hubs in cities across India. The goal is simple: wherever mass transit moves people, an easy, convenient, comfortable, reliable and safe electric last-mile ride should be waiting at the gate. Bhago itself is inspired by Soichiro Honda’s philosophy Yume no Chikara – the Power of Dreams – and Sapno Ki Sawari, the Ride of Dreams, is our expression of it: world-class Japanese engineering, India’s world-class metro, and a platform that keeps the city Always On”

Mutsuo Usui, Director of Sales & Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “This collaboration brings together shared strengths to make electric last-mile mobility more practical and convenient for everyday commuters. It is a meaningful step towards addressing evolving urban mobility needs,”

Takuya Taniguchi, President & CEO, Honda Power Pack Energy India, said, "Battery swapping has already proven itself for commercial EV fleets – now, with BhaGoMo – iRide, we're bringing that same Honda e:Swap convenience to Delhi's daily commuters. This launch at ITO is the first step in a partnership that extends the ease of Delhi Metro travel all the way to the commuter's final destination."

Dr Amit Kumar Jain, Director of Operations & Services at DMRC, said, “DMRC is committed to strengthening last-mile connectivity through safe, convenient and eco-friendly mobility solutions. The iRide initiative by BhaGoMo will offer commuters a sustainable last-mile connectivity option while contributing to reducing pollution. We welcome this initiative and look forward to extending such eco-friendly solutions to more metro stations.”

The new Pulsar 150 carries an introductory price of INR 115,233 ex-showroom Delhi, while the Pulsar 125 is priced at INR 92,900.

Both models feature revised gear ratios to improve acceleration, a diamond-type frame using the engine as a structural member and a nitrogen-charged emulsion monoshock unit.

The new Pulsar introduce three riding modes (Road, Rain and Sport), low-speed traffic assist technology, LED headlamps and an Integrated Starter Generator with start-stop functionality on top variants to reduce fuel consumption.

Sarang Kanade, Chief Business Officer – Two-wheeler Business Unit, Bajaj Auto, said, “For over 25 years, Pulsar has been more than just a motorcycle. It has been the first taste of performance for generations of riders – the muscular tank, the unmistakable grunt, the rush of acceleration and the attitude that made it impossible to ignore. Pulsar has always been ‘Definitely Daring’, and that spirit remains at the heart of the brand. With the new Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 125, we have retained everything that makes Pulsar iconic while reimagining what lies beneath it. The result is a new generation of Pulsars that feels familiar in all the right ways, but is built for the riders of today.”
