BGauss has launched the C12 MaxR electric scooter in India, introducing a new model focused on range, performance, durability and connected features.
The C12 MaxR is built on BGauss’ WSA platform, a vehicle architecture designed to support different motor, battery and wheel configurations. The platform uses high-tensile micro-alloy steel and robotic manufacturing processes and is engineered for a vehicle life of up to 150,000 km.
The scooter is equipped with a 3.8 kWh IP67-rated LFP battery housed in an aluminium enclosure for thermal management. Its Battery Management System incorporates 110 safety and protection features. The battery delivers an IDC-certified range of 178 km on a single charge.
4.2 kW HyperZen Motor
The C12 MaxR uses BGauss’ HyperZen in-wheel hyperdrive motor platform, which delivers 4.2 kW of peak power and a top speed of more than 75 km/h. The system integrates the motor, gear transmission, braking system and Motor Control Unit into a compact architecture.
The integrated transmission eliminates the need for a conventional belt or chain, while the integrated Motor Control Unit reduces wiring and packaging requirements. The scooter is available with Eco, Ride and Sport riding modes, along with reverse mode, cruise control and regenerative braking.
The C12 MaxR has a gradeability of 18±2° and is equipped with 12-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. Braking hardware includes a 220 mm front disc and rear CBS, while suspension comprises hydraulic telescopic front suspension and a five-step adjustable Nitrox gas-emulsion rear suspension.
Storage and Connected Features
The scooter includes under-seat storage capable of accommodating two helmets, along with a pop-out umbrella holder, lockable storage compartment, wireless charging, mobile and bottle storage, and a dedicated cleaning-cloth space. Its floorboard is designed to accommodate medium-sized luggage.
Technology features include a 5-inch TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation, call notifications, ride and charging statistics, user profiles, document storage and multiple display themes.
The C12 MaxR also includes features such as Distance-to-Empty, FallSense, side-stand and main-stand motor cut-off, service reminders, Remember My Mode and Guide My Home.
Through BGauss’ connected ecosystem, users can access Parental Lock, SecureLock, selectable speed modes, profile settings, firmware updates, vehicle health checks, SOS and DigiLocker connectivity.
Designed for Indian Riding Conditions
The C12 MaxR has 160 mm of ground clearance and a standard payload capacity of 150 kg. The company said the scooter has been engineered for varied Indian riding conditions.
Design elements include the Krystal Lamp and full LED lighting for the headlamp, tail lamp and indicators, along with a quilted seat.
The scooter will be available in Sparkling Wine with Champagne Gold, Terra Green with Champagne Gold, Pearl White and Satin Black through BGauss’ dealership network in India.
Founded in 2020 by Hemant Kabra, BGauss operates under the RR Global umbrella. The company currently has 182 dealerships and more than 350 customer touchpoints across India.
