The trend of electric bikes and scooters has started catching up in India. Many two-wheeler manufacturers have already launched or are planning to introduce an electric scooter or motorcycle in our market. Currently, the Ather 450Xis the most powerful and feature-loaded electric scooters offered in the Indian market. It was launched by a Bengaluru-based electric scooter start-up Ather last year, and it became popular among buyers in a short period of time. Meanwhile, Suzuki Access 125 is one of the top-selling 125cc scooters in India. Both scooters belong to two different categories but to test their performance, here’s an acceleration test video between the two.
ArrayTalking about Ather 450X, it is powered by a 2.9kWh lithium-ion battery, which develops 8bhp of power and 26 Nm of peak torque. On the other hand, the Access 125 is propelled by a 124cc, single-cylinder unit, which churns out power and torque outputs of 8.6bhp and 10 Nm. In total, three rounds of acceleration test were conducted. We tested how much time the Ather 450X and Access 125 take to reach from 0-60kmph, 0-80kmph and their top speed. In the first round, the Ather 450X took 5.85 seconds to reach from 0-60 kmph, while the Access 125 does the same job in 6.90 seconds. In the second round, the Ather 450X accelerated from 0-80kmph in 10.83 seconds, and the Suzuki Access 125 took 12.88 seconds.
