      Ola Electric Posts Lowest 2024 Sales In Aug – 80,000 Complaints Per Month, Touches New High

      by

      Ola Electric Service Center. Image – Akshay BhatOn an average, Ola Electric receives around 80,000 complaints per month which can sometimes go up to 6,000-7,000 per day
      Ola Electric, the Bengaluru based electric scooter manufacturer has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Sales have been dwindling while customer complaints mount to new heights each month. Customers have taken to social media vent their ire in terms of delayed service response with repair wait times ranging from 30 to 45 days.
      Ola Electric Customer Dissatisfaction
      One such customer also set the company’s showroom on fire in Kalaburagi city in Karnataka. The customer cited dire lack of support for his recently purchased e-scooter and lower response from the service team. This incident however, caused Rs 8,50,000 worth of damages while luckily no one was hurt during the fire.
      Ola Electric Scooter Sales 2024 – Lowest in Aug
      A new report reveals, Ola Electric that offers the S1 e-scooter in three variants- S1X (2kWh), S1X and S1X Plus, receives around 80,000 customer complaints per month. It can also go up to 6,000-7,000 per day. In a bid to tackle these grievances, the company has set up a new team with special focus on after sales service operations. This new team consists of employees from other departments such as production and operations.
      Ola Electric has sold 6,80,000 electric scooters since its inception. It currently operates via 430 service stations across India. However, with complaints pouring in, the waiting period for repairs stretches to 30-45 days while a lack of customer support has related to much discontentment among customers.
      [embedded content]
      One particular customer had his e-scooter stuck at a service center for 2-3 months. He cited issues such as the stand sensor problem that took 3 months to resolve. Other issues such as battery failure, range reduction and wheel jamming were also a part of these complaints. The Delhi service center at Najafgarh Road has been labelled the “graveyard of scooters”. The center is grossly understaffed with only 4 service personnel tackling repairs as against a need for a strength of 10 service teams.
      Ola Electric Lower Sales
      Along with growing customer complaints, the company has also reported lower sales in Aug 2024. Its S1 series recorded lowest monthly sales volumes, falling 34% in July 2024 to 27,506 units. Market share of the company also declined to 31% from an earlier 39% share in the electric two wheeler segment. On the other hand, competitors such as Bajaj Auto with the Chetak e-scooter (20% share) and TVS Motor with the iQube (19% share) have cited increased demand.
      Despite falling sales and customer complaints, Ola Electric is going full steam ahead in its future endeavours. The company announced its first electric motorcycles the Roadster, offered in Roadster Pro, Roadster, and Roadster X variants. Deliveries are set to commence from next year.
      Ola Electric also plans to diversify into the 3 wheeler segment as a test mule of their electric three wheeler rickshaw was spied in Bengaluru for the first time. This e3W will be offered in electric auto rickshaw and electric 3W cargo vehicle and is likely to be called Ola Raahi. Ola Electric also introduced India 4680 ‘Bharat’ battery cell which promises faster charging and more energy storage. This cell is currently under trial production at Ola’s Gigafactory.

      Triumph Speed T4 Vs Speed 400 – Specs, Features, Pricing Compared

      by

      Triumph Speed T4 Vs Speed 400 MY25With a more affordable version of Triumph Speed range, Speed T4, helps the brand better rival segment leader Royal Enfield Classic 350
      The iconic motorcycle manufacturing brand, Triumph Motorcycles, has been actively widening the horizon of its affordable lineup. Just recently, Triumph launched its most affordable offering yet, in the form of Speed T4. Bajaj-Triumph duo has been sharpening its product offensive against Royal Enfield for some time.
      Updated MY25 Speed 400 will rival the Guerrilla 450, Speed T4 will rival the just updated Royal Enfield Classic 350. While the obvious rival is Classic 350, there are many changes in Speed T4 when compared to MY25 Speed 400. Let’s look at everything new and different with Speed T4 compared to the updated MY25 Speed 400.
      Triumph Speed T4 Vs Speed 400 MY25
      Triumph Speed T4 Vs Speed 400
      There are major changes in the powertrain and exhaust to set up a unique new motorcycle with Speed T4 from a Speed 400. For starters, both Triumph Speed T4 and Speed 400 share the same basic powertrain. In this sense, they both get the same 398cc DOHC 4V single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.
      However, Triumph has worked on this 400cc engine to carve out two different flavours. On Speed T4, Triumph has replaced the electronic throttle control system of Speed 400 with a manual one. Speed T4 also comes with a lower state of tune generating 30.6 bhp of peak power at 7,000 RPM and 36 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 RPM.
      Triumph Speed T4
      MY25 Speed 400 continues with the previous tune of 40 bhp at 8,000 RPM and 37.5 Nm at 6,500 RPM. Both vehicles get a 6-speed gearbox, but the final drive of Speed T4 gets a O Ring chain, while Speed 400 gets an X Ring chain. Triumph has also reworked on Speed T4’s exhaust note to make it more bassy.
      Other than powertrain changes, there are changes in dimensions and componentry as well. Starting with dimensions, Speed T4 is slightly wider with handlebars at 827 mm and taller without ORVMs at 1098 mm as opposed to 814 mm and 1084 mm of Speed 400, respectively. Speed T4 also has a taller seat height of 806 mm and weighs 180 kg, 4 kg heavier than Speed 400.
      Triumph MY25 Speed 400
      Where componentry is concerned, the main noticeable difference is that Triumph Speed T4 gets 43mm RSU telescopic front forks, as opposed to the 43mm USD forks in gold finish on Speed 400. Another notable difference is that Speed T4 gets narrower 140-section tyres, while Speed 400 retains fatter and more premium 150-section tyres.
      Different riding characteristics
      With MY25 Speed 400, Triumph is offering adjustable levers, which are absent on Speed T4. Conversely, Speed T4 gets a bassier exhaust that Speed 400 misses out on. Other features and lighting setups are shared between both bikes. With Speed T4, one can expect relaxed riding characteristics, while Speed 400 continues to be high-strung, where performance is concerned. More

      2025 Honda XRE 190 ADV Debuts – Sportier Profile, New Features

      by

      2025 Honda XRE 190One of the popular dual-sport motorcycles in Brazil, the Honda XRE 190 is preferred for its agility, lightness and robust performance
      After introducing the updated versions of Sahara, Tornado and Bros adventure bikes, Honda has launched the 2025 model of XRE 190 in Brazil. The bike was originally launched in 2016 and has recorded cumulative production of over 180,000 units. 2025 Honda XRE 190 will start reaching dealerships in Brazil from October onwards.
      2025 Honda XRE 190 – What’s New?
      Changes to 2025 Honda XRE 190 are focused on improving safety, practicality and overall user satisfaction. The updates are based on Honda’s evolving design strategy as well as feedback and suggestions received from users. There are updates to the fairing, something similar that we have already seen with the newer Sahara 300, XR 300L Tornado and NXR 160 Bros.
      2025 Honda XRE 190
      Changes can also be seen across the fuel tank, side profile, seat and tail section. The stepped seat is now larger in size, with more clearly defined rider and pillion sections. Grab rails merge towards the rear to form a flat surface that can be used to install a top case. The bike gets a new exhaust tip and has aluminium footpegs for the pillion.
      There are two variants – a standard and an Adventure version. The base model has colour options of Pearlescent Red and Matte Metallic Blue. The Adventure variant gets Pearlescent Gray with exclusive graphics. 2025 Honda XRE 190 has all LED lighting for a sportier look and enhanced illumination.
      New Honda XRE 190
      The digital instrument console has been updated with a high-contrast screen. It displays a range of information such as odometer, fuel level, available range and average fuel efficiency. Another key update is a USB Type C charging port, located near the instrument panel.
      Improved suspension
      While much of the hardware specs are the same as earlier, the front forks now use wider 33 mm tubes instead of 31 mm tubes seen with the outgoing model. There are no changes to the rear suspension. While the front suspension has 180 mm of travel, the rear swingarm-linked spring shock absorber has 150 mm of travel.
      New Honda XRE 190
      The bike continues with a 19-inch spoked steel wheel at front and a 17-inch unit at rear. These are fitted with Pirelli MT60 tires. Braking setup remains unchanged at 240 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc. Single-channel ABS is offered as standard. 2025 Honda XRE 190 has a dry weight of 126 kg. Seat height remains unchanged at 836 mm.
      2025 Honda XRE 190 will continue using the same engine as earlier. The 184.4, air-cooled flex single-cylinder unit delivers 16 hp and 16.28 Nm when using petrol. When running on ethanol, the numbers are 15.9 hp and 16.18 Nm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
      New Honda XRE 190
      Starting price of 2025 Honda XRE 190 is R$22,060 for the base variant, which is approximately Rs 3.37 lakh. The adventure variant costs R$22,496 (Rs 3.40 lakh). These prices are excluding the freight and insurance charges. For complete peace of mind, Honda is offering a 3 years warranty with no mileage limit. More

      New Royal Enfield Classic 650 Spied Undisguised – Dual Tone Colour Schemes

      by

      New Royal Enfield Classic 650The new images highlight various angles of the Classic 650, which borrows design cues from the smaller Classic 350, including the retro styling elements that fans appreciate
      The highly anticipated Royal Enfield Classic 650 has been spied fully undisguised ahead of its official launch. The spy shots, credited to Rushlane Spylane member Darren Waite, were captured outside India, likely in the UK where Royal Enfield operates its technology center.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 650 Spied
      These new images provide a clear look at the upcoming Classic 650, showcasing its retro styling and design elements, as well as hinting at its expected features and specifications. Positioned as an affordable option in the 650cc range, the Classic 650 promises to carry forward Royal Enfield’s legacy of blending vintage aesthetics with modern performance.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 650
      The motorcycle features a classic, timeless design with a circular headlamp, wide handlebar, curvy fuel tank, retro-styled front and rear fenders, and circular tail lamps. The latest spy shots show a maroon and cream dual-tone colour scheme, which enhances its vintage appeal. Both wire spoke and alloy wheel options are likely to be available, maintaining the retro-modern fusion Royal Enfield is known for.
      Powertrain and Features
      The Classic 650 will be powered by a 648cc parallel-twin engine that delivers 47 PS of power and 52.3 Nm of torque. This engine is shared with Royal Enfield’s other 650cc models like the Interceptor and Continental GT. It’s expected to offer smooth gear shifts and a strong low-end performance, ideal for cruising. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox, and like other RE bikes, it could have a similar exhaust note with the classic “thump.”
      New Royal Enfield Classic 650
      A tubular steel frame will support the motorcycle, offering optimal stability and a comfortable ride experience. The braking setup is likely to consist of a 320 mm front disc and 300 mm rear disc, with dual-channel ABS as standard. In terms of suspension, it has conventional telescopic front forks and preload-adjustable twin shocks at the rear.
      Pricing and Competition
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 is expected to be priced around Rs 3.5 lakhs, positioning it as an affordable option in the REs range of 650cc motorcycle. Thanks to this competitive price, it is unlikely to offer premium features like USD forks or the Tripper navigation pod as standard. However, the Tripper navigation pod may be available through the brand’s Make It Yours (MIY) customization program.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 650
      The Classic 650 will expand Royal Enfield’s stronghold in the middleweight segment, offering an accessible alternative for those who want a bigger displacement classic-style motorcycle without breaking the bank. These spy shots further solidify the company’s strategy to cater to a broader audience by blending heritage design with modern performance, making the Classic 650 a highly anticipated model for 2024.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied Altitude Testing At Leh Ladakh – Launch Nearing?

      by

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied

      Where off-roading bikes go, upcoming Hero Xpulse 210 will be the most affordable one by a large margin, with improved touring capabilities

      After successfully aligning itself with adventure motorsport, Hero MotoCorp aims to give some of that pedigree in their consumer offerings. Hero Xpulse is getting a major powertrain upgrade with Karizma XMR’s modern tech-loaded engine. Spy shots of Xpulse 210 test mules have been spotted in Leh Ladakh. Let’s take a look.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied

      The updated version of this adventure tourer will get a technologically advanced powertrain from Hero MotoCorp. Thus expanding the horizon of Xpulse platform’s capabilities. After a mid-life facelift launched last year, Hero is now offering a major powertrain upgrade to their beloved Xpulse 200.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied

      Thanks to automotive enthusiast Chaitanya Helwatkar, who spotted a couple of Xpulse 210 test mules near Khardung La, Leh. These test mules had support vehicles with them too. All of these motorcycles had camouflage on them, concealing their identity. However, the Xpulse’s silhouette is unmistakable.

      Similar to the previous spy shots, there are very few changes to Xpulse 210’s design. It will retain the same LED tail lights and the H-shaped LED headlight might be carried over too. We can see some added elements around fuel tank, which could be tank shrouds to increase aerodynamic efficiency and touring capabilities.

      What are the changes?

      While there has been no official word from Hero MotoCorp regarding these developments, but this upcoming Xpulse is packing Karizma XMR 210’s engine. This is a 210cc, DOHC 4V liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine making 25.15 bhp of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

      This is the most high-tech powertrain Hero MotoCorp has ever created. On Xpulse, it will unlock vastly improved touring capabilities owing to increased performance and the added 6th gear. There might be improvements with refinement and everyday rideability along with off-road capability.

      Other notable additions expected with upcoming Hero Xpulse 210 are slip and assist clutch, dual-channel ABS along with a new TFT screen for instrumentation, similar to the one we saw on Karizma XMR 210. This unit will support Bluetooth connectivity with smartphone app and turn-by-turn navigation.
      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied

      Is this Xpulse 400?

      There is a tiny possibility of this being an Xpulse 400. To be more precise, Xpulse 440, based on the same platform as Hero and Harley’s Mavrick 440 and X440. Test mules of a larger Xpulse 440 have been spotted before. However, the ones spied recently are more likely to be that of Xpulse 210.

      Hardware setup of Xpulse 210 looks similar to current Xpulse 200’s. We can expect a Pro model too, with adjustable front and rear long-travel suspension along with knobby Maxxis off-road tyres. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheel setup might be retained as well. There will be a slight price hike owing to the tech-loaded powertrain. More

      RE Bullet and Meteor 350 followed in quick succession with 8,660 units and 6,785 units in terms of sales. Both these models suffered both YoY and MoM decline.

      Lower down the sales order, Super Meteor and Shotgun 650 also suffered from lower demand. Meteor sales fell by 5.71% to 1,041 units while there were 316 units of the relatively new Shotgun 650 sold last month.

      Ever since Royal Enfield has launched Guerrilla 450 in India, it has received an excellent reception among the motorcycling community. Once known for pretty-looking retro motorcycles with outdated technology, Royal Enfield has turned the tides around and has developed the Sherpa 450 platform.
      The first vehicle based on this platform was Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450 was launched more recently. The popularity of Guerrilla 450 is such that it has surpassed Himalayan 450 sales in just a couple of months since it first went on sale. Let’s take a look at the finer statistics of this development.

      There are a multitude of reasons why Guerrilla 450 might have surpassed Himalayan 450 in sales. Before diving into that, we need to glance over the sales and statistics of these motorcycles. In July 2024, Royal Enfield sold a total of 60,755 units. Out of these, Himalayan 450 sold 2,769 units and Guerrilla 450 sold 1,469 units.
      In July 2024, Himalayan 450 was still in the lead by 1,300 units. However, that doesn’t paint the full picture. It gets interesting when we bring sales analysis data into the picture. In July 2024, Himalayan had registered a 12.68% YoY decline as opposed to 3,171 units sold in July 2023. Losing 402 units in volume YoY.

      Not just that, there was a 9.57% MoM decline as well, with over 3,062 units sold in June 2024, losing 293 units in volume. Guerrilla 450 on the other hand was taking off, where sales are concerned. If we look at August 2024 sales, Himalayan 450 sold 2,009 units, while Guerrilla 450 climbed up the ladder with 2,205 units.
      However, more interesting stats come from Himalayan’s sales analysis in August 2024. Sales of this popular ADV almost halved YoY when compared to 3,856 units sold in August 2023 with a 47.90% YoY drop and 1,847 units lost in volume. Even MoM, Himalayan 450 registered a 27.45% drop in sales, losing 760 units in volume.
      Guerrilla 450, on the other hand, registered a 50.10% MoM growth, with 736 units gained in volume. This might be an indication that Indian motorcycling enthusiasts are preferring Guerrilla 450 over Himalayan 450.

      Why though?
      There are many reasons why motorcycling enthusiasts might be considering a Guerrilla 450 over a Himalayan 450. Primary reason might be the price, as Guerrilla 450 undercuts Himalayan 450 by Rs 46,000 (Ex-sh). Styling and positioning might be a reason too. Owing to its Roadster genre, Guerrilla 450 comes out as a daily machine, while Himalayan looks too focused on touring and off-roading.
      Sticking with daily machine theory, Guerrilla 450 is 11 kg lighter than Himalayan 450. While that is not a lot of weight-saving, it makes a difference in the long run. The Roadster’s seat height is a more accessible 780 mm, while Himalayan’s goes till 845 mm. Guerrilla is smaller in size with fatter tyres, lending user-friendly dynamics.
