Recent revelations show Vinfast is hot on setting an electric scooter portfolio as well, along with electric cars. Vinfast Klara S electric scooter has now been patented in India, fueling speculations.Vinfast Klara S Patented In IndiaVietnamese automaker, Vinfast, might be better for its portfolio of electric cars. Vinfast was also a key player in the race to acquire Ford’s Chennai plant post the American brand’s exit from Indian market. But Vinfast serves up a decent range of electric scooters on home turf. The same could be one of its identity in India as well.Vinfast Klara S FeaturesIndia is currently the hottest market for electric scooters and there are more players today than what the industry expected a decade ago. The adoption rate for electric scooters has seen a greater reception from Indians than any other 2W EV genre. As an electric scooter manufacturer, that might prove a perfect business proposition for Vinfast.First electric scooter launch from Vinfast in India may be Klara S, as it was recently patented in India. Klara S is a classic design electric scooter, giving me Vespa vibes. Vinfast proudly advertises Klara S as “Quintessence Of Italian Design”. It is a handsome-looking electric scooter and could be a fitting rival to Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1 range, owing to their design genres.Vinfast Klara S Dual BatteryWe can see a hexagonal-shaped LED headlight, U-shaped LED tail light, LED turn indicators and premium-looking pillion foot-pegs. There are options for contrasting colours on the floor board along with seats. A fully digital instrument cluster along with telematics features facilitated by a built-in e-sim are note-worthy attributes.Vinfast Klara S Patented in IndiaSpecs, features and performanceColours for Klara S include – Black, Red, White, Blue, Matte Black, Nurturing Green and Moss Green.

    2024 Hero Vida V1 Plus Launched At Rs. 1.15 Lakh – 30K Less Than V1 Pro

    Hero Vida V1When compared to top-spec V1 Pro, Hero Vida V1 Plus launched costs Rs. 30,000 less and packs almost similar specs and performanceIn a strategic move, Hero MotoCorp has re-launched Vida V1 Plus in India for an attractive price of Rs. 1.15 lakh (including subsidy and portable charger) in most states. This makes Vida V1 Plus a tempting proposition to rival the likes of Ather 450S, Ola S1 Air and S1 X+ along with TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Simple Dot One.2024 Hero Vida V1 Plus Launched At Rs. 1.15 LakhIndian 2W electric industry has been reaching new heights thanks to more buyers gravitating towards greener mobility solutions. However, 2W juggernaut, Hero MotoCorp, had to navigate through multiple hurdles to launch their EV under a separate Vida sub-brand.Hero Vida V1 Plus Launched – InstrumentationThe launch did happen and faced crushing criticism for being priced above expectations. Earlier last year, Hero revised its pricing strategy and launched Vida V1 Pro at a reasonable Rs. 1.4 lakh effective price (including central subsidy). Various state governments offer added subsidy, bringing the effective price even lower.Vida V1 Plus was discontinued, making top-spec V1 Pro the sole offering under Vida brand. Fast-forwarding to 2024, Hero MotoCorp has re-launched Vida V1 Plus at Rs. 1.15 lakh effective price (including FAME II central subsidy and portable charger).Hero Vida V1 Plus Launched – StoragePound to pound, 2024 Vida V1 Plus is Rs. 30,000 less expensive than top-spec Vida V1 Pro. This is a tempting proposition for buyers as the entry point to Vida lineup is now a lot more affordable than what was quoted at launch.Many States & UT Governments offer further subsidies to EVs. For example, Delhi residents can get Vida V1 Plus at an effective price of under Rs. 1 lakh. Rs. 97,800, to be precise. Other than Delhi, a few other States and UTs offer state-level subsidies as well, to take some burden off buyers for a faster adoption of electric mobility.Differences between V1 Plus and V1 ProThere are not a lot of differences between Hero Vida V1 Plus launched and top-spec Vida V1 Pro. Both share similar styling cues along with seating ergonomics and other componentry. V1 Plus and V1 Pro also share their technology and feature a 7-inch touchscreen dashboard. Top speed is the same at 80 km/h with both scooters as well.Differences lie around a few attributes to justify added price increment for top-spec Vida V1 Pro over Vida V1 Plus. For starters, V1 Pro packs a larger 3.94 kWh battery pack promising 110 km of range from a single charge. Whereas, V1 Plus has a smaller 3.44 kWh battery promising 100 km range. Despite having the same 6 kW electric motor, V1 Pro is 0.2 seconds quicker. More

    Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Tripper Dash Review Post Feb 21st FOTA Update

    Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Tripper Dash UpdateBefore this update, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Tripper Dash Maps and music features never worked – They started working post update to latest versionRoyal Enfield, is ushering into a new era of technology with the launch of New Himalayan 450. This is easily the most technologically advanced and feature-packed offering from Royal Enfield ever. Part of this tech fiesta is the new Tripper Dash which received an FOTA update on Feb 21st. Let’s take a look at how it works now.Royal Enfield Tripper Dash ReviewBefore embarking on what the new FOTA update has brought to this package, we have to understand what Tripper Dash is and how it functioned before this update. Royal Enfield has developed a new circular TFT display for New Himalayan 450 that will make its way to other RE motorcycles like Scram 650 which was recently spotted testing in India.Himalayan 450 Tripper Dash Music Controls – When it worksThere is a dedicated app for Android and iOS that overlooks the transmission of data between smartphone and Tripper Dash unit for call and notification alerts, maps and even music controls. When I first collected Royal Enfield New Himalayan, the Tripper Dash was one of the main negatives I faced with this motorcycle and I mentioned the same in our first impressions review as well.Simply because it didn’t work. Both with Android and iPhones, the Bluetooth connection was established, but maps and music control never worked. Since then, there have been a couple of updates to Royal Enfield mobile app and there was a FOTA update from the company for Tripper Dash too.Himalayan 450 Tripper Dash Maps – When it worksHas this FOTA update fixed the issues?The Royal Enfield app on my phone notified me about this FOTA update on 21st February, 2024. I was away from the motorcycle and couldn’t install this update till 25th Feb. It was a package of five different software patches and took around 10 minutes to fully install. I am happy to report that my unit has been responding pretty well after this update.Both Maps and Music Control are now working which wasn’t the case before. But do they work without any glitches? No. There is still wiggle room for Royal Enfield to improve and I am hoping the company will fix these issues in the near future. For starters, both Google Maps and Music Controls have shown glitches in just a day I saw them working.They only work sometimes, but it is still better than not working altogether. When they work, Google Maps has four zoom settings to choose for trajectory view. In music controls, I could increase and decrease volume or skip a song forward or go back to previously playing song by pressing Up, Down, Right and Left buttons on the 5-way clickable D-pad.Himalayan 450 Tripper Dash Maps – When it doesn’t workHimalayan 450 Tripper Dash Music – When it doesn’t workDo features work consistently?When navigation is on and map data is moved to Tripper Dash, the phone’s screen stays on for some reason. Despite having big hands, I prefer small phones and my small Samsung S Series phone has a small battery too. For Maps and Music to work on Tripper Dash, my phone’s Wifi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Location and 1000+ Nits screen have to be on at all times, draining battery in just a couple of hours.Sure, there is a Type-C charger below the handlebar to charge my phone on a mobile stand. That brought different issues because now the phone is exposed to direct sunlight and screen brightness is 100%. The phone gets extremely hot forcing Google Maps and music to stop working. I wish Tripper Dash had a built-in GPS, compass and accelerometer along with a tiny built-in storage to store off-line route data set from the app. Or at least the phone screen to turn off when connected.Himalayan 450 Tripper Dash – Phone screen remains on More

    2024 Royal Enfield Scram 450 Spied – Alloys, Telescopic Forks, Wide Rear Tyre

    2024 Royal Enfield Scram 450 Spied. Credit – RagasUpon launch, Royal Enfield Scram 450 will take on rivals such as Triumph Speed 400, Hero Mavrick 440 and KTM 390 DukeAfter dominating the 350cc and 650cc segments, Royal Enfield is looking to achieve similar results in 450cc space. Beyond Himalayan 450 ADV, enthusiasts can look forward to various other models based on the new 450cc platform. Possibilities include Hunter 450, Scram 450, etc. A roadster version is also likely, as revealed in the latest spy shots. Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Ragas for sharing these exclusive spy shots of RE Scram 450.Royal Enfield Scram 450 – Key featuresIt is likely that the roadster version will be one of the most affordable bikes in Royal Enfield’s 450cc portfolio. This is evident with the changes in the equipment list. As compared to Himalayan 450 that has 43 mm USD forks, the roadster version is equipped with standard telescopic forks at front. However, it is possible that USD forks could be offered as an optional feature.2024 Royal Enfield Scram 450 SpiedTo reduce costs, Royal Enfield Scram 450 will share a number of components from Himalayan 450. It includes an all-LED lighting setup, the monoshock suspension at rear and 320 mm front / 270 mm rear disk brakes. Dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard. However, switchable ABS feature available with Himalayan 450 may not be offered as standard with the roadster version. This will further help reduce cost.One can notice a distinct profile for Scram 450, with features such as round headlamps, curvy fuel tank, offset filler cap, alloy wheels, fork gaiters, a single-piece seat and short tail section. The circular 4-inch TFT display appears to be the same as that of the new Himalayan. It remains to be seen if the full functionality including Bluetooth, phone connectivity, Google-powered turn by turn navigation and media controls are offered with Scram 450.2024 Royal Enfield Scram 450 SpiedRoyal Enfield Scram 450 specs, performanceThe upswept exhaust appears to be the same as that of Himalayan 450. The bike has 17-inch alloys at both ends, shod with road-biased tyres. The rear wheel’s wide tyre should allow a good grip for some high-speed fun. The bike has a comfortable, upright riding stance. Seat height is expected to be less than 800 mm, which will help improve overall control and handling.2024 Royal Enfield Scram 450 SpiedFrom the spy shots, it appears that the engine is being used as a stressed member. Powering the bike will be the same 452cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder, DOHC, 4-valves engine. It churns out 40.02 PS of max power and 40 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and comes with slip and assist clutch. It is possible that Royal Enfield may introduce some tweaks to the gear ratios in line with the bike’s roadster profile.Royal Enfield Scram 450 priceAssuming that the base variant won’t have features like USD forks and switchable ABS, the bike could be launched at an affordable price point of around Rs 2.30 lakh to Rs 2.40 lakh. Initial offer price could be even lower. In comparison, Triumph Speed 400 is available at a starting price of Rs 2.33 lakh. Hero Mavrick starts at Rs 1.99 lakh, whereas KTM 390 Duke is priced at around Rs 3.10 lakh.2024 Royal Enfield Scram 450 Spied More
