      New TVS Electric Scooter Features – Remote Locking, 105 Kmph Top Speed?

      by

      Image for illustration purpose onlyWith good response to iQube, TVS is looking to strengthen its position in electric 2-wheeler segment by introducing new productsIt was at 2018 Auto Expo when TVS had showcased its Creon e-scooter concept. It is possible that launch was delayed due to the pandemic. Now, a new product is scheduled to be unveiled on August 23, 2023. Based on teasers, it is expected to be the production version of Creon concept electric scooter.TVS has released a new teaser that gives hints about the scooter’s front fascia. It appears to be a lot sportier in comparison to existing iQube. With words like ‘thrill’, TVS could be hinting at a performance-oriented premium lifestyle product. If that’s the case, TVS new electric scooter will take on rivals such as Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X and Simple One.TVS Creon-based electric scooter – new detailsUpcoming new electric scooter from TVS will have a vertically positioned headlamp. As may be recalled, Creon concept e-scooter had a similar setup. The scooter will have a dominating street presence, similar to that of maxi-scooters. In the teaser, one can also get hints of the sporty apron, DRLs and indicators. More details will be revealed in the coming days.It remains to be seen how much of the original Creon concept is retained in the production version. There are likely to be some changes, keeping in mind the practicalities of everyday riding. But one thing is certain that TVS new scooter will be a real head turner on the streets. Test mules spotted on road tests have revealed that the scooter has beefed-up proportions.New TVS Electric scooter headlampFiner details of TVS new electric scooter are hard to decipher due to the full camouflage of test mules. As revealed at the 2018 Auto Expo, Creon e-scooter had sharp panelling, wide handlebar, blacked-out headlamp casing, sporty graphics, dual-tone colour and sleek tail section. The scooter has thick, comfy seat, which should ensure optimal comfort for both rider and pillion.New TVS Electric scooter digital colour screen showing 105 – Is 105 kmph top speed?Another teaser reveals state of the art features, including an all new digital colour screen. It will have multiple themes, that can be customized as per your mood. There is also remote lock and unlock feature via connected apps. Teaser also shows screen with the number 105, which could be the top speed of this new TVS electric scooter.TVS Creon-based electric scooter performanceAt the time of its unveil, the original Creon concept was equipped with a 11.76 kW motor. It was claimed that the scooter could accelerate from 0 to 60 kmph in 5.1 seconds. That number may have been good enough back then. But a lot has changed in the last five years.New TVS Electric scooter – Remote lock / unlockFor example, Ola S1 Pro takes just 4.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 kmph. Similar performance is achievable with Simple One as well. Assuming that TVS is looking to raise the bar with its new electric scooter, things like acceleration, top speed and range will have to be among the best in segment.Talking about top speed, Ola S1 Pro can reach 116 kmph in Warp mode. Simple One and Ather 450X have top speed of 105 kmph and 90 kmph, respectively. In terms of range, Simple One leads the pack with 212 km. Ola S1 Pro is next with 181 km. Ather 450X can ride 146 km on a full charge. TVS is likely to be looking at a similar set of numbers for its upcoming electric scooter. More

      New Hero Karizma LED Headlight and Signature Revealed In Latest Teaser

      by

      New Hero Karizma LED HeadlightHero Karizma XMR 210 is likely to get liquid-cooling, DOHC, dual-channel ABS and 6-speed gearbox – Launch on 29th Aug 2023Dominating the world’s largest 2W market with a massive lead is no mean feat. Regardless, Hero has achieved just that and is now shifting the gaze from budget commuters, to motorcycles higher up the price range. A premium dealer lineup like Maruti’s Nexa is in the pipeline as well, with more than 100 outlets planned in 2024.Collectively, Hero seems to be making a lot of efforts towards premium bikes, especially when the launch of Karizma XMR 210 is this close. The latest teaser for Karizma XMR 210 shows some design attributes and launch date, which is set on 29th August, 2023. Karizma XMR could be the embodiment of ‘Hero’s are remembered, but legends never die’.New Hero Karizma LED SignatureLatest Hero Karizma XMR TeaserThe company used #LiveTheLegend in the teaser, which is likely to be the new tagline for Karizma XMR 210. For context, OG Karizma R and Karizma ZMR had ‘Jet Set Go’ and ‘Above All’ as their taglines. Hrithik Roshan advertised for both Karizma R and Karizma ZMR. So, Hero has naturally chosen Hrithik Roshan as a promoter for Karizma XMR 210.The Bollywood star is also pushing some content on his social media handles regarding this upcoming motorcycle. This new teaser doesn’t show a lot of details. It is quite short and only highlights some of the bike’s LED headlight. Earlier we got to see its sharp and aggressive fuel tank and 3D metallic Karizma badging that indicate sophistication.The leaked image from a recent dealer showcase shows a lot more details, without any camouflage. A previous teaser reflected the same, highlighting the bike’s side profile. We can see some of the bike’s componentry. Like the front suspension setup is RSU telescopic, there are petal discs for braking with better heat dissipation, stylish alloy wheels and more.All these components will be on-board a new tubular chassis that should strike the right balance between lightness and rigidity. Trellis or diamond type, only launch will reveal. Speaking of, Hero will launch it on 29th August 2023 and will be on offer as the brand’s flagship.The best fully-faired bike of its class?Even though specs are under wraps, we can see a liquid cooling setup with this brand-new 210cc engine. Considering there are two channels going to the head in patents, we can expect a DOHC setup too. Rumour mill suggests possibility of a 6-speed gearbox. Because rivals get it, dual-channel ABS could be a possibility as well.Just like Xtreme 160R 4V, we can expect Karizma XMR 210 Pro in the future with USD forks. In recent spy shots, we can see a larger instrument screen and improved switchgear as well. Power figures could be in the range of 25 bhp and 30 Nm, pitting it against Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 and its KTM counterpart RC 200. Pricing could be below Pulsar RS 200 at around Rs. 1.6 lakh (ex-sh).

      4 New Ola Electric Motorcycles Showcased – Launch In 2024

      by

      New Ola Electric MotorcycleOut of the four Ola electric motorcycle concepts, Diamond Head looks the wildest and features an unconventional front setupIn an ambitious manoeuvre, Ola Electric has introduced its most affordable electric scooter yet. We’re talking about Ola S1 X, which the company has priced very attractively, starting from Rs. 79,999 (introductory) for base 2 kWh model and Rs. 89,999 (introductory) for 3 kWh model. The 4 kWh model is Ola S1 X+ and it costs Rs. 1,09,999 (introductory) (all prices ex-sh).Purchase windows for all the versions of S1 X range are currently open. But the most exciting showcase of this event for me, was Ola’s four new motorcycle concepts. These are very distinct in their design. Let’s take a look.Four new Ola bike concepts4 New Ola Motorcycle conceptsAs seen with the teaser before, Ola is investing heavily in compartmentalisation of its portfolio. We’re talking about cars and motorcycles, other than its scooter portfolio. On that note, Ola showcased four new electric motorcycle concepts in physical prototype form. The company had shown 5 motorcycles in design concept form before.While Adventure and Diamond Head are recurring concepts, Cruiser and Roadster are all new. So, we can say those remaining three design concepts met their demise, or something of that sort. Out of the four physical prototype concepts, Diamond Head is the pinnacle and a true flagship. It features a design and form that defies conventional. Take a look at the detailed walkaround below, shared by EV Gyan.[embedded content]Diamond Head looks like a hunkered-down bull, poised to make a pounce. It has a diamond-type headlight cowl, lending its name. There is a wide LED DRL strip and headlights below it in a sleek housing. It has an aggressive seating posture with clip-on handlebars. There is a retracting panel that goes down to show the instrument cluster.Unveiled on stageIt doesn’t get a conventional triple tree with front forks. Instead, it gets a swingarm-like element that could feature either a push-rod or a pull-rod mono-shock suspension system. Not sure whether the production model will derive it. But other motorcycles are a lot more conventional in their appeal.Will Ola Adventure be India’s first electric ADV?Starting with the Ola Adventure concept, it is an upright and off-road-oriented motorcycle. It features a vertical lighting element, knuckle guards, god-finish USD front forks, block-pattern tyres, fork covers, wire-spoke wheels, a windscreen and more. We could easily see this being the most popular in India, upon launch.Radical Diamond HeadThere is a Roadster, which has all the recipe to be the most affordable of this bunch. Considering the Roadster concept was the only one working on stage, we would wager it to launch first. Then we have the Cruiser concept that looks the most menacing of this bunch. It has a neo-retro charm and a relaxed riding position.Cruiser concept had a conventional triple tree and suspension setup at the front. But sported massive front fork covers. It gets horizontal LED headlight elements and sleekest ORVMs of this bunch. All four motorcycle concepts featured a large rectangular instrument cluster. Highly likely to be the same 7” touchscreen unit as S1 Pro. Launch timeline is by the end of 2024. More

      Ola S1X Launch Price Rs 90k, Deliveries From Dec 2023- S1 Pro Sport Edition

      by

      Ola S1 Pro Sport EditionOla Electric has launched a range of new scooters today – This includes their most affordable range of e-scooter, the S1XOla is on the verge of being the de facto electric scooter maker in India. As of now, the company has dominance in the electric scooter market where sales are concerned. But there is always room for growth and Ola is striving hard to diversify its portfolio with new product types including an electric car, electric motorcycle and more.Starting with the S1 electric scooter range, Ola is quick to extend its newfound expertise to compartmentalize its portfolio. The company has showcased new products like new versions of S1 Pro scooter, S1 Air and a sneak peek into what to expect from the future.Ola S1 Pro Sport EditionAll-new Ola S1 Pro Sports EditionWe had seen images from Ola Owner’s Group which suggested a new Sports Edition based on Ola S1 Pro. Now, seeing in the flesh with the new Gen II motor, we can see it being the most exhilarating scooter in India. 11 kW of power and 120 km/h top speed with the new Gen II powertrain is impressive.New S1 Pro’s acceleration is 2.6 seconds to 60 km/h. Range is now 195 km per charge, up from 181 km. Pricing for the Gen II S1 pro is Rs. 1,47,499 (ex-sh). Purchase window will open today and deliveries will commence in September 2023.New Gen Ola S1 ProAlong with that, there are a bunch of new customisation packages with S1 Pro. We can see different colour wheels, decals on the body and a dual-tone effect as well. This brings youthfulness to the equation and will appeal to a younger generation.New Ola S1Ola S1 Range Gen II productsThere are a slew of improvements with the new Gen II products that the company showcased today. The motor controller is now within the motor and the banana-shaped battery pack now has way less components. This leads to an up to 30% increase in optimisation. There is a reduction of parts, which leads to simpler engineering and reduced weight. The frame is upgraded too. From a tubular frame to a new hybrid chassis. This has 70% fewer parts with side frame, from 22 to just 6. This helps in shedding a lot of weight. There is increased strength as well. Cost for the frame is low too. Further strengthening Ola’s ‘End ICE age’ motto.The company claims a 30% improvement in performance, a 25% improvement in thermal performance, a 25% reduction in cost, 11% lesser parts in general, 7% lesser energy consumption, and a 6% reduction in range. Ola’s new indigenous 4680 Li-ion battery cells saw a demonstration as well. Gen II products won’t feature this new cell, though. Ola Electric reassured S1 Air buyers that their vehicle is a Gen II product. The company claims to have established India’s largest battery manufacturing facility. Which will produce this new battery here, which will debut next year.New Ola S1 Range of scootersOla S1 XThe company claims that S1 X is the epitome of their ‘Kill ICE’ ideology and will redefine the Indian scooter segment. S1 X is the main attraction within this event. It has a slight redesign in the front and establishes visual distinction from the rest of the S1 range. It has a taller headlight cowl. Ola S1 X will get both 2 kWh and 3 kWh battery sizes. There is a separate variant of S1 X namely S1 X+ with a larger 4 kWh battery pack. If we take Ola’s current portfolio, the S1 Pro powertrain is unrelated to S1 Air and S1 X. This way, Ola has an extended portfolio to cater to a wider range of audience.S1 X+ costs Rs. 1,09,999 (ex-sh) and just like S1 Pro, the purchase window opens today and deliveries will commence by the end of September 2023. For this week only, Ola is feeling generous and is introducing an introductory price of Rs. 99,999. The 3 kWh S1 X costs Rs. 89,999 (introductory) and Rs. 99,999 (ex-sh) regular. Deliveries will commence in December. Lastly, the 2 kWh S1 X is the most affordable of the bunch. It costs Rs. 79,999 (introductory, ex-sh) and Rs. 89,999 (regular, ex-sh). Deliveries start in December too. Introductory prices will last for this week only.Ola S1XMove OS 4 & 100 new service centersOn India’s Independence day, Ola is inaugurating 100 new service centers. Company boasts that it has 1000 experience centers up and running in India. Apart from this, Ola also introduced Move OS 4, which is the biggest update with software regards. There is an extensive new array of features and improvements in existing set of features. Beta version will roll out in a month and then stable versions will follow in the future in a phase-wise manner. Company promises improved range, regen and a bug-free experience in the overall layout. Indigenous maps is a major add-on to this update as well. More
