RR Global’s brand BGauss has created a splash in India’s electric vehicle market by introducing its new electric scooter, the C12i EX. Till 19th September 2023, the C12i EX is available at a discounted rate of Rs 99,999 (ex-showroom). It’s quite an impressive launch, considering the success of BGauss’s prior electric scooter, the C12i MAX. Launched in June 2023, the C12i MAX managed to garner 6,000 bookings within three months of launch.
Battery and range
The C12i EX features a removable 2 kWh lithium-ion battery, which can be charged fully in three hours. The battery offers a certified ARAI range of 85 km on a single charge. The battery also has an IP-67 rating, which means it is waterproof and dustproof. The battery is connected to a 2500-WATT (P) Rotor, which provides the power to the electric scooter.
C12i EX features CAN-enabled technology, enabling the user to keep tabs on and control the scooter via a smartphone app. Tracking data such as battery status, speed, mileage and GPS position is available. Plus, the app grants access to additional features like remote locking and unlocking, geo-fencing, and anti-theft alarm.

The C12i EX comes in seven attractive color options – Matte BGauss Blue, Foliage Green, Yellow Black, Red Black, Shiny Silver, Pearl White, and Brooklyn Black. Boasting a sleek and futuristic design, this electric scooter is further enhanced with LED headlights and tail lights, digital instrument cluster, and alloy wheels.
