The Japanese major is set to launch a new two-wheeler on 18 November; could it be the Suzuki Burgman Electric?
We’ve already seen quite a few spy shots of the Burgman electric online. Suzuki two-wheelers have confirmed to be launching a new product on 18 November. And by the looks of it, we expect this to be the all-new Burgman Electric. This would be Suzuki’s very first step into the EV space in India.
[Read more…] about Is the Suzuki Burgman Electric Launching Soon?The new Ducati Hypermotard range, including the SP and the RVE, has been brought in to India.
Ducati India have launched the Hypermotard family back in India in BS6 guise. The range starts with the Hypermotard 950 RVE, priced at Rs 12.99 lakh, and, finally, the Hypermotard 950 SP priced at Rs 16.24 lakh (all ex-showroom).
Ducati have always stayed true to a very aggressive design language when it comes to the Hypermotard. A sleek front with a long beak, chiselled bodylines and an upswept tail complemented by underseat exhausts. The RVE gets a rowdy-looking custom livery while the SP on the other hand gets its iconic red, white and black colour scheme with SP decals all over the bike.
The design of the all new Aprilia SR 160 has been revealed.
The most sophisticated Tuono with a new Marelli ECU, combined with an all-new five-inch colour TFT dash, allows more innovative rider aids than ever. New looks, a higher revving V4, a new swing-arm, and a new aerodynamic package — it is the best Tuono to date. Having spent a day on track at Misano MotoGP racetrack in Italy, we came back highly impressed by this motorcycle. Here is how and why
You could say Aprilia have a slightly unfair advantage as they smartly fitted an Akrapovic silencer to the test bikes, to simply add to the amusement around Misano. It does sound amazing, even at tick-over. I know from experience that Aprilia’s V4 has always had a distinctive “character” but now, with more revolutions per minute (rpm) to play with (300 rpm more) this has amplified the experience to over-indulgent levels.
Leaving the famous pit-lane at Misano, the new Factory sounds magnificent, the V4 blasting pulsating vibrations off the pit wall. Out on to the track on pre-heated Pirelli slicks (no need to warm them up), the bike is straight into it, accelerating hard to join the swarm of Italian racers already up to race speed.
The noise is lovely, what a voice! This is escorted by the smoothest of quick-shifter changes I have experienced on a road bike. The changes are quick, perfectly matched in rpm; it is as if the peg, selector, and gearbox have been purposely designed for me.
The Commuta, Electa and Byka will make their way to India in January 2022
Elysium Automotives, an Indian startup from Hyderabad is all set to introduce a British electric bikemaker, One Moto, to India. The company will initially bring three scooters to India: Commuta, Electa and Byka.
The most affordable offering from One Moto will be the Commuta. Priced at Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom), the Commuta comes equipped with a 2.0-kW (2.7-hp) electric motor that allows for a top speed of 55 km/h. Its 27.5-Ah battery pack takes about five hours to charge and can do 80 km on a single charge.
The latter two, the Electa and the Byka, will be premium offerings from the brand that will be priced at Rs 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom), initially. Both scooters will get a 4.0-kW (5.4-hp) QS electric motor capable of getting them up to a top speed of 85 km/h. While the Electa gets a 45-Ah battery pack while the Byka gets a 48-Ah lithium-ion removable battery pack. Charge times for both scooters are said to be five hours with an expected range of 150 km.
A creature comfort the electric bikemaker will be offering at launch is the One App. This application will allow one to track riding history, battery performance, access GPS, search for battery packs, book service appointments and allow for smartphone integration on the scooter’s display.
Elysium Motors are expected to launch the One Moto range in India in January 2022. The scooters will compete with brands like Rowwet, Benling and a lot more.
