      Honda Planning New 150cc Motorcycle – 2022 CBR150R Launch Soon?

      by

      2022 Honda CBR150RWith CBR150R, Honda will be looking to challenge Yamaha’s dominance in entry-level faired bike segmentPatent registration for CBR150R in India has fuelled speculations about the bike’s potential launch in the near future. It is to note that this will be the second time the bike will be launched here. Honda CBR150R was available in India from 2012 to 2017. It was later discontinued likely due to unsatisfactory sales numbers.2022 Honda CBR150R India LaunchIn a recent interview with ET Auto, President of Honda Motorcycles India, Atsushi Ogata stated that they are focusing on 150cc motorcycle segment. He said, “We need to focus more on the 150 cc line up. We are investigating this segment too and you will hear (from us) sooner or later.”It is likely that he was hinting at the launch of 2022 Honda CBR150R. If Honda is to successfully take on Yamaha in entry-level faired bike segment, it will have to launch CBR150R at a competitive price point. Its primary rival Yamaha R15 V4 is available at a starting price of Rs 1.73 lakh (Metallic Red). Dark Knight and Racing Blue variants are priced at Rs 1.74 lakh and Rs 1.78 lakh, respectively. All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi.It is difficult to estimate the bike’s price in India. Most that can be done is to get a rough idea by comparing prices of Honda bikes available in India as well as international locations.New Honda CBR150R Patent Filed In IndiaFor instance, if we consider Honda CB300R, the starting price is THB 151,690. This is approximately Rs 3.50 lakh. In India, CB300R is priced at Rs 2.77 lakh. This makes it around 20% cheaper as compared to Thai-spec model. The India-spec bike is cheaper even though it is BS6 compliant, as compared to Thai-spec CB300R that continues in BS4 format. India-spec BS4 CB300R was available at a starting price of Rs 2.41 lakh.Coming to CBR150R, the bike is priced at THB 92,900 in Thailand. This is approximately Rs 2.14 lakh. If we apply the 20% ratio as applicable for CB300R, pricing for CBR150R in India comes at around Rs 1.71 lakh. This makes it even cheaper than R15 V4. However, this is just a rough estimate.Increased localizationTo be able to launch CBR150R at a competitive price point, Honda will have to increase localization. CB300R is perfect example, which has received a higher level of localization in its BS6 format. Localization for CB300R could increase further in future, as the company is developing the new BS6 engine at its Gujarat facility.2022 Honda CBR150RSomething similar needs to be done for CBR150R if the bike is to emerge as a viable option against R15 V4. Pricing is important in entry-level motorcycle segment, even though it may not be the sole factor that influences customer purchase decisions.In terms of styling, both Honda CBR150R and Yamaha R15 V4 are equally good looking. R15 V4 also offers a wide range of features including USD forks in golden finish, dual-channel ABS, assist and slipper clutch, variable valves actuation, traction control system and quick shifter. Bluetooth-based connectivity features have also been added, which can be accessed via Y-Connect app.While CBR150R has similar set of features, the challenge is about launching the bike at a competitive price point. It remains to be seen if Honda can achieve that goal.Source More

      New Aprilia SR GT 200 Adventure Scooter Debuts

      by

      New Aprilia SR GT 200There are very remote chances of Aprilia launching the SR GT range in India anytime soonAprilia has launched its first adventure scooter in the form of the SR GT 200 in Japan. The SR GT range made its global debut at the last edition of EICMA held in Milan, Italy in November 2021. The SR GT range is available in two derivatives- 125 and 200, the latter being introduced in the Japanese market recently.The scooter has been designed to take the beaten paths on occasions along with maintaining practicality for everyday commutes. Hence, it has been appropriately labelled as an ‘urban adventure scooter’. In line with its nature, SR GT has been equipped with a wider handlebar, long-travel suspension and block pattern tyres.Aprilia SR GT200 – DesignGetting deeper into details, the design of SR GT is striking and draws inspiration from other Aprilia models with a few elements borrowed from the SXR range. In true essence, SR GT is a Maxi scooter with an ADV-like stance. This results in edgy styling with signature tri-LED headlights upfront on the apron.It flaunts signature ADV elements like a smoked windscreen upfront and a heavily faired front panel. The excessive use of cuts and creases give the scooter an aggressive appearance.New Aprilia SR GT 200Thanks to its Maxi-styling, a huge transmission tunnel is placed between the legs of the rider, giving him/her the experience of a motorcycle. A wide handlebar and slightly forward-set footpegs give the rider a comfortable riding posture.The footpegs are bounded by silver-coloured panels which give it the impression of a metallic bash plate. A sharp-looking tail section with a chunky single-piece grab rail and a sharp upswept exhaust canister amplifies the sportiness of SR GT 200. Add to that a pair of coloured alloy wheels- black or red, bring enough attention to the scooter.Distinctive graphics and a slender frame further accentuate the road presence of SR GT 200. Coming to features, SR GT is offered with full LED lighting, an LCD instrument cluster and an auto engine start/stop system. Aprilia offers the MIA connectivity tech as an optional add-on. It gets a 9-litre fuel tank capacity.New Aprilia SR GT 200Hardware, Powertrain SpecsSR GT 200 is underpinned by a double-cradle frame that sits on 33mm telescopic forks upfront and twin shock absorbers at rear, both derived from Showa. Braking duties are handled by petal-shaped discs with 260mm and 220mm rotors at front and rear respectively. SR GT 200 rolls on 14-inch front and 13-inch rear wheels which are shod with knobby dual-purpose off-road friendly tyres.Powering the SR GT 200 is a 174cc, single-cylinder unit that kicks out 17.43 bhp at 8,500rpm and 16.5Nm at 7,000rpm. It is available in two variants- standard and Sport. The former is offered in three colour schemes- namely Aprilia Black, Street Grey and Infinity Blue. For racier paint options, buyers can opt for the Sport trim which is available in three different liveries like Street Grey, Red Raceway, and Street Gold. More

      Vespa Electric Scooter India Launch Planned – Ola, Ather Rival

      by

      Image for reference.Vespa, a subsidiary of Piaggio, had earlier revealed the Elettrica electric scooter in India at the Auto Expo 2020A significant rise in popularity of electric mobility, especially in the two-wheeler segment, has led to the advent of numerous electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing startups in the past couple of years. This has forced even established auto brands to dive into the EV space and create a separate strategy for future electric mobility.Piaggio is one such brand that is looking to dive into the EV space in India. As per a recent report, the Italian automaker is planning to develop an electric scooter specifically for the Indian market.Piaggio currently manufactures three-wheelers in the country but is actively involved in the two-wheeler business through its subsidiary brands- Vespa and Aprilia. It is very likely that the upcoming made for India electric scooter could be launched under both brands Vespa and Aprilia.India-specific Vespa electric scooter from PiaggioIn an interaction with ET Auto, Diego Graffi, managing director of Piaggio India, revealed that the company is planning to establish an EV ecosystem in India that will sustain even without subsidies. It should be noted that FAME II subsidies provided by the Central Government and subsidies offered by various state governments across the country are responsible for bringing down prices of EVs by up to 40 percent.Vespa Electric Scooter Elettrica At 2020 Auto ExpoPiaggio wants to offer EVs that attract consumers for their practical benefits, beyond the benefit of subsidies. However, the two-wheeler manufacturer isn’t venturing into the EV space immediately and there is still some time before the first electric two-wheeler offering from Piaggio rolls on Indian roads. Graffi revealed that the supplier ecosystem in India is unprepared to support a massive transition to electric mobility.Expected DebutWhile the country has the technical expertise related to EV technologies, manufacturing capacity for EVs in the supplier ecosystem is still not present. Piaggio already retails electric scooters in developed markets of Europe, however, the India-specific model is expected to take around 18-24 months of development and testing before it is launched in the market.Therefore, the upcoming electric scooter from Piaggio is unlikely to make its India debut before the end of 2023. Piaggio will solely focus on developing electric scooters for the Indian market and not motorcycles. Hence, it is likely that the scooter will be retailed under the Vespa brand.Vespa Electric Scooter – ElettricaEV offerings by PiaggioThe e-scooter from Piaggio will be at par with the high-speed performance electric scooters present in the Indian market and priced accordingly too. It will also boast all the latest connectivity features seen in modern EVs. At present, the two-wheeler EV space in India is dominated by premium offerings like Ather 450, Ola S1 series, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube.Last year, Piaggio revealed the first electric scooter under its own brand named ‘One’. Earlier, Vespa had also showcased the Elettrica electric scooter in India at the Auto Expo 2020. However, neither of these two models will reach Indian shores, though the India-specific model could borrow some components from the models mentioned above.Source More

      Bajaj Avenger Electric Hybrid Motorcycle – Modifying Kit Price Rs 28k

      by

      Bajaj Avenger Modified into an petrol electric hybrid motorcycleThe EV conversion kit used in Bajaj Avenger 220 has been sourced from GoGoA1 which is available for sale online at a price of Rs 27,760With the rise in demand for electric mobility in India, especially in the two-wheeler segment, the market has also seen a spike in the demand for EV conversion kits. While we recently saw a Maruti Dzire EV and a fully electric Hero Splendor retrofitted with an electric conversion kit, this time a Bajaj Avenger is seen running on a battery-powered source.Bajaj Avenger Modified Electric Motorcycle HybridUnlike the previous two models mentioned above, this EV kit allows the rider to choose between petrol power or battery power mode depending on circumstances. In essence, this is a pure petrol-electric hybrid kit that has the convenience to switch between pure IC engine and pure EV mode.A video of the process of converting this petrol-powered Avenger 220 Cruise has been uploaded on YouTube by Creative Etc. This EV conversion kit has been sourced from GoGoA1 which is available for sale online at a price of Rs 27,760. The kit comprises components like a 2000W, 17-inch Brushless Hub Motor, a Regenerative Controller, a Wrist Throttle, disc with catcher, mounting plate and a coupler.Modifications MadeDesign of the stock Avenger has been kept intact in this modified hybrid prototype for most parts barring a new 17-inch front wheel that houses a brushless hub electric motor. Along with this, it gets new mountings installed on the rear fender to carry the battery pack and a small switch on the right side of the handlebar that lets one turn on electric power.[embedded content][embedded content]Although the video says it’s a DIY (Do It Yourself) Project it will take more than a skilled mechanic to carry out all the complicated stuff to follow. For starters, to incorporate the new front wheel with a hub motor, front forks have been re-fabricated. Also, the front disc brake needs modification in order to collaborate with the new front wheel successfully.Next up, the battery pack needs to be encased within a small metallic box that has to be fabricated through cutting and welding. After this, the battery is installed on the mounts of the rear fender but in order to do that, the bike’s rear turn indicators have to be repositioned. Speaking of the battery, this conversion kit consists of a 72V, 35A Lithium-ion pack.The controller is installed by making some minor changes to the electrical system. Finally, a switch to engage and disengage the electric motor is added near the original switchgear. After the complete modification, the IC engine drives the rear wheel through the in-house transmission system, whereas the electric hub motor drives the front wheel.SpecificationsIn pure electric mode, Avenger 220 is able to touch a top speed of 60kmph which is decent enough whereas it claims to offer a range of 40-50 km on a full charge. The system also comes with a reverse mode. While this is a very attractive conversion kit, its legality still remains a question since nowhere has it been mentioned that it is an RTO-approved kit.
