Close to the end of 2020, images of a new Suzuki electric scooter emerged on the internet. The electric scooter could come with underpinnings on the Suzuki Burgman Street petrol scooter. Now, pictures of a patent design have leaked on the internet, which gives us a glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming electric scooter.

According to the patent design, the upcoming electric scooter will have a large battery pack underneath the seat. The battery is likely to use up all the luggage space. The patent design also reveals a pivot mounted motor and chain or belt drive. The electric scooter will also come with an air-cooled transformer with a cooling fan and an air-cooled controller unit. The battery pack also appears to be air-cooled, but Suzuki has employed an intake and exhaust fan system on the power unit to help achieve better thermodynamic efficiency.

One of the patent designs also shows a scooter similar to Burgman Street in the background art. The details on the powertrain specifications are not available at the moment. Speculations are that the new electric scooter could get an IP67-rated electric motor with the power output equivalent to a 110cc petrol scooter. The electric scooter is also likely to return a range of 100 km on a single charge.
