Service rollout in 7 cities
The service will initially be available in seven major cities – Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Visakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar, Jaipur and Gurugram. Customers can access the scooters through Royal Brothers Rentals’ established platform and network in these markets. Suzuki said the partnership could be expanded to include additional models from its portfolio in the future.
Focus on flexible mobility
The Suzuki E-Access, billed as an everyday urban commuter electric scooter, is aimed at customers seeking practical electric mobility. Through this rental and subscription model, users will be able to experience the performance and utility of the scooter before making a long-term purchase decision.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Deepak Muttreja, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Suzuki Motorcycle India said that as mobility preferences evolve, customers are looking for flexibility and real-world experience before making long-term commitments.

Expansion in subscription-based mobility
The move signals Suzuki’s intention to participate in India’s growing mobility-as-a-service ecosystem. With growing interest in electric vehicles and changing ownership patterns, subscription and rental models are emerging as viable options, especially in urban markets.
Starting with e-Access, Suzuki is using the rental channel as a way to accelerate electric adoption, improve product performance and grow its customer base without relying solely on traditional dealership sales. More details about expansion plans and the addition of additional models are expected in the coming months.
