BGauss C12i specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Motor, battery and charging
The C12i's 2.5 kW motor is the 37rd most powerful among the 48 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 60 km/h, which limits it to city use.
A full charge from a home socket takes about 4.45 hours, and it supports fast charging for a quicker top-up on the road. The battery is removable, so it can be charged indoors if you cannot park near a plug.

Dimensions in practice
The C12i weighs 106 kg with fluids, has an 765 mm seat, 155 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1292 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
Tyres are 90/90-304.8 front and 90/100-254 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
Electric
Public or home fast charger support cuts a full charge from overnight to an hour or two.
Carry the pack upstairs to charge. Solves the no-plug-at-parking problem.
Recovers a little charge when slowing and saves brake pads.
Cruise control
Holds a set speed on open roads. Mostly a highway feature.
Over-the-air updates
Software features and fixes arrive without a service visit.
Safety and braking
Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Equipment against DX, Wave and N-First
Against DX, Wave or N-First, it gets side-stand engine cut-off, hazard lamps, usb charging port and fast charging that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: front disc brake, alloy wheels, bluetooth connectivity and reverse mode, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
