      Ather Electric Scooter To Get New Variants – More Range

      by

      Currently, Ather offers 450 Plus for Rs 1.50 lakh and 450X for Rs 1.60 lakh (both prices ex-showroom)Existing Ather Electric ScooterFor a new startup to build the first premium electric scooter in India speaks volumes about the people involved in the firm. In a short span of time, Ather Energy has been able to attract a sizeable number of consumers toward electric mobility. The Bengaluru-based EV manufacturing startup currently retails two e-scooters- 450 Plus and 450X.In an interaction, Ather CEO, Tarun Mehta gave some insights into the company’s future. Ather Energy is looking to add two new battery-powered scooters to its lineup. Both these scooters will be built on the existing 450 e-scooter platform.Upcoming Ather 450 E-scooters450X is currently the higher sales volume generator, thanks to a piece of richer equipment and extra range on offer per full charge. A new version of the electric scooter is currently under development which will offer a higher range than 450X.The aforementioned goal may be achieved with a larger battery pack. This may lead to the scooter gaining a wider stance, as well as a larger bodywork to account for a larger power source. Top speed and performance are unlikely to witness any massive changes. Price of this scooter will be evidently more than 450X.Ather Electric ScooterComing to the second addition to the Ather lineup, this version of the electric scooter will receive cosmetic enhancements in form of new colour options, however, current design will be retained. In all probability, this scooter will be a sportier-looking derivative of 450X.Details about these two e-scooters are still thin. These new variants of Ather 450 are expected to make their debuts towards the end of this year or early next year. With rising competition in the electric two-wheeler space, Ather clearly wants to strengthen its portfolio of electric scooters.Ather 450X, 450 Plus updatesAther recently launched a new update for its electric scooters- 450X and 450 Plus. As per this new update, owners of both these e-scooters will benefit from an additional ride mode called SmartEco mode. The new ride mode has been designed to dynamically adjust range and performance. Latest SmartEco ride mode will only be available to users who have Ather Connect Pro subscription plans.450X is powered by a 6kW (8.04 bhp) electric motor that draws its energy from a Lithium-ion battery pack. It accelerates from 0-40kmph in 3.3 seconds and promises a real world range of up to 85km on a single charge. On the other hand, 450 Plus is powered by an electric motor that kicks out a peak output of 5.4kW (7.2 bhp) and 22 Nm of torque. True range is claimed to be 70km on a full charge.Source More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Exhaust Spied For First Time

      by

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 caught testing once again on the road – A major departure from the Himalayan 411New Royal Enfield Himalayan 450Royal Enfield is developing the new Himalayan 450, designed for both India and the world. The motorcycle was recently caught testing again, this time by automotive enthusiast Bibin Benny Mathew. Thanks to camouflage, most of the design is still not completely visible. But from what we can see, it is going to get an all new design.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 – What to expect?Upcoming Himalayan 450 is expected to come with a newly developed engine, displacing around 450cc. Power and torque output numbers are not revealed yet, but it could be developing around 40 bhp and 45 Nm of torque.A 6-speed gearbox will make it to the Himalayan 450. Unlike the 5-speed unit found on the more off-road oriented Himalayan 411. On the features front, we can expect a host of electronic packages from Royal Enfield like ride-by-wire, riding modes, tripper display for Bluetooth connectivity and navigation.New Himalayan 450 comes with a tubular frame at the front to hold jerry cans. A tubular frame at the back for mounting luggage. The motorcycle also gets a front beak to complete the adventure-tourer look.New Royal Enfield Himalayan 450The seat on the Himalayan 450 is a split unit and looks large enough to offer good riding comfort. The Rider’s triangle seems to be different than current Himalayan. The footpegs of Himalayan 450 look a little too rear set for a hardcore off-roader. The Himalayan 411 gets centre-set footpegs for comfortable touring and for maneuvering the motorcycle while standing up. The Himalayan 450 seems to have a slightly committed riding position.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Exhaust DesignThe upcoming REH 450 will feature an exhaust system which has not been seen on any Royal Enfield motorcycle. The design is somewhat similar to those seen on KTM Duke and Adventure motorcycles. Even the design of engine block is quite different, which we have not seen on other RE motorcycles.It is is expected to get similar wheels and tyre combinations to the Himalayan 411 with a 21” wheel at the front and 17” at the rear. We can also expect a slightly bigger fuel tank than the Himalayan 411. The Himalayan 450 might not get switchable ABS like the Scram 411.New Royal Enfield Himalayan 450Himalayan 450 test mule is seen with vertically laid-out instrument cluster. Speaking about suspension setup, in the front it gets USD forks and the rear is suspended via a monoshock. USD forks will likely make the motorcycle nimble in terms of handling, as will have a tighter chassis mount at the front.Pricing and launch details are unknown. Launch of Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 might result in the company discontinuing existing Himalayan and become the most powerful single-cylinder motorcycle in Royal Enfield’s stable. More

      New Uranus RS Electric Scooter Debuts – 100 Km Range, 110 Kmph Top Speed

      by

      Trinity Uranus RS electric scooter is available at an introductory price of 5,888 Euros, approximately Rs 4.88 lakhNew Uranus Electric ScooterElectric two-wheelers have been registering consistent improvements in terms of their range, top speed and other performance parameters. A relevant example is Uranus RS electric scooter, launched by Germany-based electric mobility startup Trinity. It will be available in showrooms from May 2022 onwards. After the introductory period, the scooter’s price will be increased to around 6,388 Euros (~ Rs 5.29 lakh).Uranus RS Electric Scooter featuresTrinity Uranus RS electric scooter comes in a compact package, but don’t make any assumptions based on its size. The scooter has relatively better numbers in terms of its range and top speed. Uranus RS comes with dual battery packs as standard, which ensure there’s plenty of juice for fast acceleration and best in class range. The lithium-ion batteries are of 72V/ 32Ah capacity.On a full charge, Uranus RS electric scooter can cover a distance of around 60 miles (approx. 100 km). Range could vary based on the terrain, traffic conditions, outside temperature, driving skills, etc. The scooter gets its power from a brushless DC motor that can generate around 15 hp of max power. It’s this powerful motor that allows the scooter to reach a top speed of 110 kmph.To allow users the option to prioritize between speed and range, Uranus RS electric scooter has been equipped with three ride modes. For max miles, users can switch to Eco mode. With Eco setting, the scooter top speed is limited to 55 kmph.Uranus RS Electric ScooterSecond mode is the Standard mode, which is essentially a balance between speed and range. In Standard ride mode, top speed is limited to 80 kmph. Standard mode is best suited for city ride conditions.In situations where users need more speed, the Sport mode can be engaged. Sport mode allows the scooter to achieve its top speed of 110 kmph. This mode can be used in various environments such as during overtaking, riding on highways, etc.Uranus RS stylingUranus RS utilizes a retro design theme with features such as round headlamp and rear view mirrors, chrome highlights, curvy body panels, broad front mudguard and large floorboard area. The scooter has a comfortable, upright riding stance. Its compact profile will make it possible to effortlessly zip through city streets. The scooter is expected to be offered in a range of exciting colour options.In Europe, Uranus RS comes under the A1 electric scooter category. People with a car driving license and the B196 extension will be eligible to legally ride this scooter. At this point of time, it is not certain if Trinity will launch Uranus RS globally. Initially, the company is likely to focus on European markets. The relatively high cost of the scooter makes it unviable in quite a few locations including India. More
