Range and Daily Use
The RUV 350i EX claims 105 km of certified range, and BGauss quotes about 90 km in real-world riding. As a result, a rider covering 30 km a day can go about three days between charges. Moreover, the quick 5.8-second sprint to 40 km/h makes it feel lively in traffic. Its 16-inch wheels also roll over potholes far more smoothly than typical 12-inch scooter wheels.
Charging and Running Cost
The 2.3 kWh battery charges fully in about 5 hours 15 minutes from a regular home socket. As a result, even an evening charge tops it up for the next day. With home charging, running costs stay at roughly Rs 0.20 per km. At 1,000 km a month, that’s about Rs 200 in electricity, against roughly Rs 2,100 in petrol for a 110cc scooter.
BGauss RUV 350i EX Features
The base version keeps the RUV’s strong hardware. Metal body panels on a tubular chassis feel sturdy, while full LED lighting includes DRLs. Moreover, reverse mode with a dedicated switch helps when parking. A simple digital display shows key ride data, and a USB port charges your phone. It also adds a 4.5-litre footboard box and a 2.2-litre phone pocket to the underseat storage. On the safety side, it gets CBS, stand cut-offs and IP67-rated parts.
What You Miss Over the EX
The RUV 350i EX skips several smart features found on higher versions. It doesn’t get a TFT display, navigation, call alerts, cruise control or hill hold. For Rs 15,000 more, the RUV 350 EX adds all of these with the same battery. Meanwhile, the BGauss C12i EX costs the same but offers less range, a lower top speed and smaller wheels.
