    Yamaha Electric Motorcycle Patented – Fully Faired Bike, Air Cooled

    Yamaha Electric Bike Concept – Image for illustration onlyBased on patent images, it seems like Yamaha is focusing on technologies that are future proof and relatively affordable
    In the quest for an electric motorcycle, Yamaha has filed a patent for a new high-performance electric motorcycle. Earlier also, Yamaha had showcased the PES1 concept and PES2 concept electric motorcycles in 2013 and 2015, respectively. The company may be ready with the technology and waiting only for the right market conditions to start commercial production.
    Yamaha electric motorcycle – Air cooled, not liquid cooled
    There are many interesting bits about Yamaha’s patented electric motorcycle. One of the key features is an air-cooled system for the electric powertrain. The motorcycle has a uniquely designed battery case that appears to be the focus of the patent filed. Yamaha has chosen to use an air-cooled setup, instead of the liquid cooled system seen with high-performance electric motorcycles. Since an air-cooled setup is relatively less complex, it can help reduce production costs. It will also help reduce the weight of the motorcycle.

    Liquid cooling also has advantages such as achieving the most appropriate temperature for the electric powertrain to operate. That means heating in cold conditions and cooling in warm conditions. But a liquid cooling system is a lot more complex and requires additional supporting components. For example, a liquid cooling system will need parts like pipework, radiators, sensors and pumps.
    Such dependencies are eliminated with an air-cooled system, even though it may not be as efficient as a liquid cooled setup. Yamaha may have opted for an air-cooled setup also because the next generations of battery packs are expected to be more resistant to low and high temperatures. As such, even an air-cooled system should be adequate for managing the temperature of the electric powertrain.

    Unique battery case
    Yamaha has chosen a unique design for the battery case to achieve better space utilization and improved heat dissipation. There’s a large centre casting, along with upper and lower sections that are tub-shaped. As the seams have been minimized, the battery case is more resistant to water ingress. The battery case has four internal platforms and each of these have two battery packs.
    The platforms have fins on the underside for effective cooling. Similar structures can be seen on the side and bottom of the battery case. In addition to cooling, the fins also improve rigidity. Top section of the battery pack houses the battery management system and electronic controls. The on-board charger is installed under the seat. The DC to AC inverter supplying power to the electric motor is located underneath the bike’s belly.
    Yamaha electric motorcycle specs
    A conventional style chassis has been used in combination with a trellis-style front frame. There’s a swingarm pivot, most likely made from aluminium. The electric motor is placed towards the rear. It uses a reduction gearbox to drive the front sprocket. A unique rear suspension has been used to accommodate the rear positioning of the electric motor.
    Performance numbers of Yamaha’s electric superbike have not been revealed. But it’s interesting to note that Yamaha already supplies EV powertrains to other OEMs. These electric powertrains are rated in the range of 35kW (47 hp) to 350kW (470 hp). Considering the level of practicality Yamaha has introduced in the patent, this new electric superbike may actually reach production stage. However, launch could still be years away. More

    MG Windsor EV Vs Curvv EV, XUV400, Nexon EV, Punch EV – Specs, Prices Compared

    MG Windsor EVOffering battery as a service on Windsor EV might turn out to be next most widely offered strategy in Indian electric vehicle scene
    With huge growth ambitions, JSW MG Motor JV has come up with a unique product proposition in the form of Windsor EV. It is the first passenger electric car in India to offer battery as a service and strikes a very tempting price point as battery is not part of the ownership. Thus striking a tempting Rs 9.99 lakh introductory price ex-sh.
    However, this pricing lends unique perspectives. Perspectives we never even dreamed of having before the launch of Windsor EV. We say this because MG Windsor EV is a direct rival to Curvv, by size. But it is just as affordable as a Punch EV, where initial buying costs are concerned. Let’s take a look.
    MG Windsor EV Vs Rivals
    Interestingly, Punch EV has arrived at Rs. 9.99 lakh (Ex-sh) due to the festive offers and will revert back to its original prices, starting at Rs 10.99 lakh (Ex-sh). Not only is MG offering battery as a service, but there is free public charging for initial buyers for a whole year since purchase, significantly contributing to savings, despite the Rs 3.5/km battery rental charge.
    Where value is concerned, MG Windsor is unbeatable and offerings from Tata, Mahindra and even MG’s own ZS EV look obsolete. Immediate rival, the Tata Curvv comes off as the most expensive in this comparison, starting at Rs 17.49 lakh (Ex-sh). Windsor EV offers a 38 kWh battery as a service, charging Rs 3.5 per km.
    MG Windsor EV Vs Rivals – Specs
    Performance is one aspect associated with EVs, owing to their vigorous acceleration. Among this bunch, nothing beats Mahindra XUV400 with its mammoth 310 Nm electric motor, sprinting to 100 km/h a hair above 8 seconds. On paper, Tata Curvv EV 55 kWh packs 165 horses, but it is not as blistering as XUV400, as we found out during the first-drive review in Udaipur.
    Owing to its larger battery, Curvv pulls ahead with around 500 km of claimed range. MG Windsor promises 331 km on a single charge. In terms of charging, Tata Curvv has a clear edge supporting 70 kW DC charging and comes with a 7.2 kW charger as standard. Owing to their segments, Nexon EV and Punch EV don’t get all-wheel disc brakes as standard fitment.
    The size quotient
    As MG Windsor EV aims for a crossover design silhouette between a hatchback, a sedan and an SUV, it is the biggest 4.3m vehicle on sale in India. The crossover design has allowed the A-Pillars to be forward-set and the 2,700 mm long wheelbase is unmatched. Thus carving immense room on the inside, beating vehicles a segment above.
    MG Windsor EV Vs Rivals – Dimensions
    Windsor EV is the widest and tallest as well. Not only in this comparison but in C-Segment (Compact SUVs) and a segment above. This CUV silhouette has also allowed for best-in-class boot space of 604L, starting from 579L. Nexon EV’s and XUV400’s wheel size is 16-inches as standard, while Punch EV offers 15-inch and 16-inch options. Both Curvv and Windsor EV offer 17-inch and 18-inch alloy wheels.
    Features are subjective, but price, specifications and space are objective. Thus commanding this interesting comparison between MG Windsor EV, Mahindra XUV400, Tata Curvv EV, Nexon EV and Punch EV. As we can see, JSW MG Motor seems to have turned the table around in their favour. We will have to see the market reception of Windsor EV with sales data in the future. More

    How Hyundai Ioniq 5 Offers More Value Than Cars Twice Its Price

    Hyundai Ioniq 5 VersatilyWith a host of features and creature comforts for both 1st and 2nd row occupants, Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers a lot more than for the price
    India’s luxury car market offers several appealing options under Rs 1 crore (ex-showroom), but premium electric vehicles are now raising the bar, offering exceptional value. One standout in this category is the Hyundai Ioniq 5, delivering an impressive package for under Rs 50 lakh. Here’s how the Ioniq 5 competes with, and even outshines, cars priced at Rs 1 crore (ex-showroom).
    1. Pricing
    One of Hyundai Ioniq 5’s strongest selling points is its highly competitive price. Thanks to being imported via the CKD route, the Ioniq 5 benefits from lower taxes, making it a great value proposition. Available at Rs 46.05 lakh (ex-sh). For comparison, several electric crossover SUVs with smaller batteries, reduced range, less performance, and less dynamic FWD layouts are priced up to 50% higher than the Ioniq 5. Additionally, many similarly sized ICE SUVs cost significantly more than the Ioniq 5.
    Hyundai Ioniq5
    2. Design
    The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is undeniably a striking vehicle. While design preferences can be subjective, it’s hard to imagine anyone disliking its unique aesthetic. Hyundai has seamlessly blended retro charm with modern design elements, creating a cohesive and stylish machine. The silhouette is that of a large hatchback, enhanced with a crossover twist thanks to the rugged body cladding.
    Retro touches, such as pixel-inspired LED lighting at the front and rear and alloy wheels with a swirling pattern reminiscent of classic wire-spoke designs, add to its visual appeal. The Ioniq 5’s design makes a powerful first impression. Inside, the minimalistic approach is complemented by a range of innovative features, enhancing both style and functionality.
    Hyundai Ioniq 5 Eco Credentials
    3. Inviting & Eco-conscious Interiors
    On the inside, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers a minimalist yet luxurious and sophisticated atmosphere. Two large 12.3-inch displays—one for infotainment and the other for instrumentation—dominate the dashboard, add a modern, high-tech vibe. The seats are well-cushioned and upholstered with premium materials, with the front seats ventilated and both front and rear seats powered. Standout features include a stylish 2-spoke steering wheel, a sliding glove box, calf rests for the front seats, and other thoughtful design elements.
    In addition to its eco-friendly powertrain, Hyundai has incorporated sustainable materials into the Ioniq 5’s interior. Eco-processed leather, natural flower-derived paint, recyclable paperette on the door trims, seatbacks and door armrests made from recycled bottles, and headliners and carpets derived from plant waste are just a few examples. Hyundai India’s commitment to sustainability is further reflected in its RE100 (100% renewable energy) initiative, setting it apart from many rival brands in the market.
    Hyundai Ioniq 5 Interiors
    4. Accommodating Space
    Thanks to its E-GMP platform, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 boasts a generous 3,000 mm wheelbase, which is comparable to the current Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB. This translates into a spacious interior that can comfortably cater to both families and chauffeur-driven owners, a versatility rarely seen in crossovers and SUVs under Rs 1 crore in India. The 531L boot space is also ample for a vehicle of this size.
    To further enhance its appeal to chauffeur-driven customers, the Ioniq 5 comes equipped with features like electrically operated rear seats, three adjustable headrests, a center armrest, rear window sunshades, and a dedicated blower with AC vents on the B-pillars. Additionally, the electrically operated Boss mode for rear passengers adds an extra layer of luxury. These features are rare in vehicles under Rs 1 crore and almost unheard of in those under Rs 50 lakh, making the Ioniq 5 stand out even more.
    Hyundai Ioniq 5 Comfort
    5. Versatility with Performance
    While the Hyundai Ioniq 5’s 0-100 km/h sprint in around 7.5 seconds may not be the fastest, it strikes an ideal balance between versatility and performance, making it one of the best crossover SUVs in India. While some dual-motor SUVs can achieve 0-100 km/h in about 5 seconds under Rs 1 crore, they often lack the practicality and versatility that the Ioniq 5 offers.
    The Ioniq 5 excels in its ability to be both a driver’s car and a chauffeur-driven owner’s vehicle, a rare combination. Its impressive ARAI-certified range of 631 km ensures that daily commutes and long road trips are hassle-free. The convenience of a steering column-mounted gear selector and Porsche-inspired mode selector on the steering wheel adds to its appeal, further highlighting its dual-purpose nature.
    Hyundai Ioniq 5 Boot
    In conclusion, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 redefines what an electric vehicle can offer in the sub-Rs 1 crore segment. With its competitive pricing under Rs 50 lakh, innovative design, eco-friendly materials, spacious interiors, and versatile performance, it effortlessly combines luxury and practicality. Whether you’re looking for a daily driver or a chauffeur-driven experience, the Ioniq 5 ticks all the boxes, providing incredible value without compromising on features. It’s a car that not only competes with much more expensive rivals but also sets a new benchmark for what buyers can expect in this price range. More

    Honda Electric Motorcycle With Sidecar – Patent Leaks

    Image for reference onlyWhile it is early days to say that the sidecars have returned, but it is interesting to see the direction Honda is heading
    One of the most iconic aspects associated with a vintage motorcycle has to be sidecars. Popular in the past, sidecars are not exactly a thing in the modern world. We occasionally see one in a resto-mod of a vintage bike. But Honda thinks Sidecars need to be back and it will make them more technologically advanced than ever before.
    Honda Electric Motorcycle With Sidecar
    Sidecars are almost non-existent in today’s world. Once considered a practical attribute to multi-personnal transportation, is obsolete today. Today, we only see sidecars with motorcycles in museums, resto-mods of vintage bikes and old movies.
    Honda thinks there is more to sidecars and is working on a modern model. With technology taking centre stage, Honda’s new sidecar patent shows modernization and sophistication and is packed full of technology. We say this because Honda’s sidecar model is electrified and seems to be optimized for excellent dynamics.
    For starters, there are load sensors on Honda’s upcoming sidecar where the supports connect this external structure to the motorcycle. Sidecar’s wheel is powered by an electric motor which will work on data fed to it by various sensors. Also, controller of this electric motor detects if the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating.
    Honda Electric Motorcycle With Sidecar Patent Leaked
    Idea is that the Sidecar will work in tandem with motorcycle and will cause minimum alterations to bike’s dynamics. In a straight line, the electric motor drives itself when motorcycle is accelerating and brakes when the motorcycle is braking. With varying speeds, power delivery of electric motor modulates accordingly.
    How does it work?
    Honda aims to reduce or remove the sudden yaw movement with added sidecar on straight line conditions. Expecting a uniform motion, reducing change in direction expected with added sidecar. Thus giving riders more confidence to ride a motorcycle with a sidecar attached.
    While cornering, sidecar will either apply brakes or accelerate further with the help of an onboard electric motor, depending on said corner. If sidecar is on the outside of a curve, then it needs to cover a larger distance than motorcycle needing slight acceleration. If it is on the inside, it needs to brake to retain traction.
    All this sophistication is to neutralize the added effect of a sidecar on motorcycle’s original dynamics. As of now, the efficiency of this system is not yet revealed. It would be interesting to see where this development leads.
    We are yet to see sidecars for motorcycles gain more popularity in the future, to justify any input costs to develop a technology in this direction. Also, will this only work with electric motorcycles? Or sidecars will have dedicated batteries of their own? There seem to be more questions than answers. More

    Hero HF Dawn Spied Testing – The Next Big Thing In Commuter Motorcycles?

    New Hero HF Dawn Spied TestingLooking close to production, Hero HF Dawn might be the most affordable motorcycle on sale in India when it is launched soon
    India is one of, if not, the largest 2W market on earth. Establishing dominance in this market is paramount. The best way to crack this market is to launch affordable commuters, which still forms the major chunk of sales. Hero has aced this genre and is taking the game to the next level with upcoming HF Dawn, which has been spotted testing recently.
    Hero HF Dawn Spotted Testing
    World’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, is the best-selling 2W brand in India. The company relies heavily on its 100cc portfolio with Splendor brand being the golden goose. Hero MotoCorp has been witnessing stiff competition from HMSI (Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India).
    Hero has regained market leadership last month in domestic market, but only by a small margin. To expand its market share, Hero intends to pull out the big guns in the form of HF Dawn, which was discontinued in May 2017 owing to poor sales. However, times are different today and Hero needs a more affordable 100cc offering.
    This is where the recently spied Hero HF Dawn comes into play. With less equipment and bodywork than every other Hero offering today, HF Dawn could very well be the most affordable Hero motorcycle and the most affordable motorcycle of any brand.
    Hero HF Dawn Pre 2017
    Currently, HF 100 is the most affordable offering from Hero MotoCorp and the upcoming HF Dawn will be positioned below that. Think, of a price point of around Rs 55,000 (Ex-sh), as opposed to HF 100’s Rs 59,018 (Ex-sh) pricing. We can see very basic componentry and equipment with HF Dawn.
    The larger headlight setup with a cowl on HF 100 will be replaced with a simpler round headlight. This round headlight looks better, if you ask me. There will be a simple analogue instrument cluster and elements like a tachometer and fuel meter might be absent. Electric self start will be a “feature” on this motorcycle.
    When will it launch?
    Wheels are alloys, similar to the one seen in HF 100. Braking is via drum units at both ends. Seat is long and rear is suspended by twin shock absorbers and front gets RSU telescopic forks. All the lighting will be via halogen bulbs.
    Hero HF 100
    An exact launch timeline from Hero MotoCorp is yet to be announced, but the test mule spied recently looked production-ready. It will bear the same 97.2cc single-cylinder air-cooled unit with around 8 bhp of peak power and 8 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. This engine might not get i3S stop/start feature to keep pricing competitive.

    Citroen C5 Aircross EV Spied Testing Without Any Camouflage

    Citroen C5 Aircross EV SpiedCurrently, 48V self-charging Hybrid and PHEV versions are on sale and for the first time, we can see a Citroen C5 Aircross EV
    Globally, Stellantis conglomeration is under a major crisis and Citroen, one of its subsidiaries, has been facing tough times as well. Recently, Citroen even called it quits in Australia after operating there for over 100 years. Amidst all these crises, Global Citroen is soldiering ahead with a new all-electric C5 Aircross SUV and seems to be in final stages of testing.
    Citroen C5 Aircross EV Spied
    After launching C3 and C3 Aircross SUVs (global-spec), Citroen has turned its gaze towards C5 Aircross SUV. It has to be noted that C5 Aircross is the largest SUV Citroen makes and is of paramount importance for the brand in the premium segment.
    Citroen C5 Aircross EV Spied
    Even amidst dwindling sales and unsure future of C5 Aircross, Citroen is willing to launch an all-electric version of it, showing its commitment to electric powertrains and its projected future. The test mules of an all-electric Citroen C5 have been spotted for the first time in Southern Europe.
    Currently, Citroen sells a 48V self-charging hybrid and a more advanced plug-in hybrid version of C5 Aircross SUV. But a fully electric model is spotted for the first time. CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares, had confirmed the development of an all-electric Citroen C5 Aircross and a year later, we get to see prototypes in what seems like final stages of testing.
    Citroen C5 Aircross EV Battery
    The test mule in these spy shots carry identical bodywork as outgoing C5 Aircross Hybrid. We can even see a Hybrid badge at the back, which the company hopes will mask the actual identity of this fully-electric test mule. Like hiding in plain sight. Internally, it is known as CR3 and it will be positioned on Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform.
    However, there are a few new elements on this particular test mule suggesting that it is indeed, a fully-electric offering and not a PHEV with a small battery. For starters, there is no exhaust at the back, something both C5 Aircross Hybrid and C5 Aircross PHEV have. Also, there is a giant battery protruding downwards from the floor.
    Citroen C5 Aircross EV Deceiving Hybrid Badge
    What can we expect?
    The 13.2 kWh battery in C5 Aircross PHEV does not protrude downwards like this. This battery unit seems to be stretching across the wheelbase, which was not the case in C5 Aircross PHEV. All these hints and the CEO of Stellantis confirming the development a year ago, suggest that the test mule in this spy shot is indeed, a fully-electric Citroen C5 Aircross EV.
    There won’t be a lot of visual changes between outgoing model and the upcoming C5 Aircross EV. It might be called Citroen e-C5 Aircross, upon launch. Interiors are likely to be carried over too. We can expect a large 86 kWh battery pack with up to 500 km of range on a single charge. Similar to Peugeot E-3008 and Opel Grandland Electric. This particular model is less likely to launch in India.
