BGauss RUV 350
The BGauss RUV 350 is a metal-bodied electric scooter for riders who want a sturdy, big-wheeled commuter without stretching past Rs 1.35 lakh ex-showroom, priced from Rs 1,15,000. It comes in two variants built around the same 3.07 kWh battery and 2.6 kW motor, with ARAI-claimed range of 90 km on the entry 350i EX and 120 km on the 350 Max. No independent real-world range test exists yet for either variant, so treat both figures as manufacturer claims until proven on Indian roads.
Is the BGauss RUV 350 right for you?
Best for
- Riders whose daily commute fits comfortably inside 60-70 km, leaving buffer against the ARAI-claimed 90-120 km range
- Buyers who want a solid, metal-bodied scooter with 16-inch wheels rather than a lightweight plastic-heavy design
- Anyone with a fixed parking spot near a home AC socket, since the battery is not removable
- First-time EV scooter buyers prioritising a sub Rs 1.35 lakh price and a 3-year battery and motor warranty over segment-topping range
Think twice if
- Buyers who need a portable or removable battery because they park in a basement or a spot without a socket nearby
- Riders who cover long daily distances and want a range figure backed by independent real-world testing rather than only an ARAI claim
- Anyone in a hurry to finalise on-road price, since listings across BGauss and dealer sites have shown inconsistent ex-showroom figures that need confirming in person
- Buyers expecting the full 120 km ARAI number in daily mixed city riding, since real-world range typically runs lower than the claimed figure

Charging and living with it
Charging: 0-100% in about 2 hr 21 min on the standard charger; optional fast charger tops up in about 1 hr 55 min. AC home charging.. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. The 3.07 kWh battery is fixed, not removable, so charging happens wherever the scooter is parked. A standard AC charger takes the pack from 0-100% in about 2 hours 21 minutes, and BGauss's optional fast charger brings that down to roughly 1 hour 55 minutes. A 3-year warranty covers both the battery and the motor, which is a reasonable safety net at this price point.
5-year cost of ownership
Based on 40 km/day, the BGauss RUV 350 RUV 350i EX costs about ₹320/month to run versus ₹2,800/month for a comparable petrol scooter, a saving of ₹30,174/year at July 2026 prices.
| Monthly | Annual | 5-year | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | ₹2,800 | ₹34,067 | ₹1,70,335 |
| EV | ₹320 | ₹3,893 | ₹19,465 |
| You save | ₹2,480 | ₹30,174 | ₹1,50,870 |

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the BGauss RUV 350?
There is no independently tested real-world figure yet for either variant. BGauss claims 90 km ARAI range for the 350i EX and 120 km ARAI range for the 350 Max, but real-world range in mixed riding typically trails the ARAI number, so plan around a lower figure until independent tests confirm it.
How long does the BGauss RUV 350 take to charge?
On the standard AC home charger, a full 0-100% charge takes about 2 hours 21 minutes on both variants. BGauss also offers an optional fast charger that cuts this to roughly 1 hour 55 minutes.
Which variant should I buy, the 350i EX or the 350 Max?
Both use the same 3.07 kWh battery and 2.6 kW motor, but the 350 Max is tuned for a higher 120 km ARAI range versus 90 km on the 350i EX, for Rs 20,000 more (Rs 1,35,000 vs Rs 1,15,000). If your commute needs the extra range buffer, the Max is worth the premium; if you ride shorter distances, the EX saves money for a similar core scooter.
Can I charge the RUV 350 if I don't have parking right next to a power socket?
This could be a problem. The battery is not removable, so you cannot carry it indoors to charge like some rivals. You need a parking spot with reasonable access to an AC socket for regular home charging.
Is the BGauss RUV 350 good value against other electric scooters in this price band?
On paper it competes well: a sturdy metal body, 16-inch wheels for a planted feel, a 75 kmph top speed for highway-edge stretches, and a 3-year battery and motor warranty, all under Rs 1.35 lakh. The catches are that its real-world range is unverified and ex-showroom pricing has shown inconsistencies across BGauss and listing sites, so confirm the final on-road number with your dealer before comparing rivals rupee for rupee.
