      Image – Freestyle RaheeVespa 75th edition model launch coincides with India’s celebrations of its 75th Independence Day
      To celebrate its glorious beginnings, Vespa has launched its 75th edition model in India. In international markets, Vespa 75th model variant is available for scooters such as Primavera and GTS. In India, it is powered by 125cc and 150cc engine options. The former is priced at Rs 1.26 lakh while the latter is priced at Rs 1.39 lakh, ex-Pune.
      Vespa 75th model styling
      Vespa 75th model focuses on highlighting the brand’s cultural and stylistic milestones that it has been associated with since it commenced operations in 1940s. Most distinguishable feature of Vespa 75th model is its metallic yellow shade called Giallo 75th. This shade essentially represents all the various colour options that were popular in the 40s.
      To clear all doubts as to what the 75th model is all about, the ’75’ graphics is boldly displayed on the side panels. This is done in a matte metallic pyrite yellow shade, which creates a clearly visible, yet subtle contrast with the body colour. This ’75’ graphic can also be seen on the front fender.
      There’s liberal use of chrome accents, as can be seen on the headlamp cowl, front apron, mudguard, brake levers, rear view mirrors, side piping, wheel rims, and exhaust heat shield. Take a look at the first look walkaround of Vespa scooter 75th anniversary edition in the video below, credit to Freestyle Rahee.

      The seat comes in dark smoke grey colour, which looks elegant against the glossy metallic yellow body paint. Seat is wrapped in soft Nabuk, which is another treat for sensory perceptions of touch. Functionally, the soft fabric translates into more comfortable rides.
      At the rear, Vespa 75th model gets a chic-looking round bag. It comes in black shade that stands out against the elegant chrome rack. It can be used to carry stuff and doubles up as a trendy vehicle accessory. The bag comes with dedicated straps that help to secure it to the chrome rack. It is equipped with a water-proof liner.
      Vespa 75th model helmet
      For a more seamless 75th model look between the ride and the rider, Vespa is offering a specially designed helmet. It matches the core theme that has been used for 75th model. The helmet has a dark smoke grey colour and chrome piping all across. It has Vespa 75th model logo on the side and graphics in Giallo 75th colour.
      Other than the styling bits, Vespa 75th model will continue to use the same engine and other hardware. In India, Vespa 75th model will be sold as a limited edition. It is powered by the same 125cc single cylinder engine generating about 10 PS and 9.6 Nm. Vespa also has a 150cc engine, which delivers about 10.5 PS and 10.6 Nm. More

      2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Media Rides Start – Launch Soon

      by

      New Royal Enfield Classic 350. Image – Darane DanyThe new-gen Classic 350 is slated to launch on August 27 at an expected starting price of around Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom)
      Ahead of its launch towards the end of this month, the new generation Classic 350 official media rides have started. Automotive enthusiast Darane Dany has spotted the new 2021 Classic 350 in a new colour scheme ahead of its launch. As revealed in spy shots earlier, the new-gen model carried the same retro design of a modern classic motorcycle. However, it has undergone major changes underneath its skin.
      Same Retro-Style Design
      The new-gen Classic 350 retains its modern retro-style design of the outgoing models with signature elements such as a round halogen headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank with rubber grips, tiger-eyed position lights, etc. The spring under the rider’s saddle in the upcoming model has been given a miss.
      It will also receive some new colour options such as Stealth Black, British Green and Glossy Grey. The Green Classic 350 gets a brown colour single seat while the grey and black Classic 350 get black seats.
      While some variants will don a signature chrome finish on mechanical components like handlebar, exhaust pipe and engine casing, others will sport an all-black theme. Some older colour options such as the Signals Edition will be carried forward in the new-gen model.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 350
      Like the previous-gen Classic, the upcoming model will continue to be offered in single and dual-seat layouts. The dual-seat variants get a pillion seat as a separate unit with an integrated single-piece grab rail.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 350
      The new model also sports a different alloy wheel design, one of them being dual-tone, while some variants still offer traditional wire-spoked wheels. Lighting is expected to remain a halogen setup.
      Hardware, Powertrain Updates
      The most notable update is an all-new J platform underpinning the new Classic 350. The new double downtube frame will be suspended on conventional telescopic forks at front and dual shock absorbers at rear. This new frame is expected to improve the overall ride quality and characteristics of the motorcycle. Braking will be handled by disc brakes on both wheels and assisted by a dual-channel ABS as standard.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 350
      The new-gen Classic 250 will be powered by a new 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine which also propels Meteor 350. This powertrain develops an output of 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque. It is coupled with a new 5-speed gearbox. The new motor is provided with a counter-balance shaft which reduces the vibration significantly.
      Features on offer
      In terms of features, the new Classic 350 will get a revised instrument console with an analogue speedometer and a digital odometer and fuel gauge. In addition, it will also receive a digital display for Tripper Navigation which offers turn-by-turn navigation when paired with the Royal Enfield App on the rider’s smartphone via Bluetooth. More

      Kinetic Luna Electric Moped Launch This Year – 80 Kms Range Expected

      by

      Image for reference. Modified Kinetic Luna by Slimline CustomsKinetic Engineering has re-entered the Indian automobile as an EV manufacturer with Kinetic Green developing battery-powered three-wheelers
      People born in the 1970s and 80s must be very familiar with Kinetic Luna. A 50cc moped with no frills and purely designed for average Indian middle-class family for an economical commute. It was coupled with easy-to-ride ergonomics with provision of bicycle-like pedals to propel it forward should it be needed.
      First introduced in 1972 by Kinetic Engineering, it was marketed in the United States as Kinetic TFR while the original Luna was a licensed copy of Piaggio Ciao moped. With tightening emission norms, Luna eventually died a slow death. With this, Kinetic Group also exited the Indian two-wheeler industry thereafter.
      Years later Kinetic made a return to the Indian automobile market as Kinetic Green which ventured into zero emission space by developing new electric three-wheelers and rickshaws. Kinetic Green claims that it is one of the leading players in electric three-wheeler space. Now, Kinetic intends to return to two-wheeler segment by bringing back the iconic Luna nameplate in a whole new avatar.
      More Details
      The reincarnated version of Luna is likely to run a battery power source. This development was confirmed by Ajinkya Firodia, MD of MotoRoyale and part of Kinetic Group on a social media platform. The electrified Luna could make its debut this year itself, probably in a month or two. Furthermore, the upcoming electric moped could feature swappable batteries.
      Modified Kinetic Luna by Slimline Customs
      Electric Kinetic Luna will be manufactured at the company’s new manufacturing facility at Ahmednagar in Maharashtra. This new plant is spread across 30 acres comprising four sheds, each spreading across 65,000 sq ft and has production lines that will cater to electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers as well as the Kinetic Lamborghini Buggy range.
      Expected Specs & Features
      The new electric moped will be powered by a humble 1kW motor which could derive its energy from a Lithium-ion battery pack. This powertrain is expected to return a range of 70-80km on a single charge and a top speed of around 25kmph.
      This means that it will be positioned in the slow-speed category, hence it won’t require any registration. Also, riders won’t be required to carry a driver’s license with them. Moreover, it is expected to be priced very aggressively within Rs 50,000.
      Meanwhile, reports say that a daily commuter is also in the works and might have a higher top speed as well as more amenities. It is speculated to be offered with features such as an electric self-start, LED headlights and DRLs, a digital instrument console, a USB charger and more. Currently, Gemopai Miso is the only moped in India running on a battery power source whereas TVS XL100 is the only moped powered by an IC engine. More
