    Tork Motors Riding A Rough Patch – Wind Up Possible

    Tork Kratos X Electric MotorcycleWithdrawal of subsidies and unavailability of new funding have presented significant challenges for Tork MotorsWhile the electric two-wheeler segment continues to register robust growth, some startups are staring at an uncertain future. A relevant example is Pune-based EV startup, Tork Motors. The company currently offers only a single product – Kratos R electric motorcycle.Dealers file police complaintAccording to the dealers, dispatches from Tork Motors have stopped since December 2023. Now that more than 7 months have passed, the dealers have collectively filed a police case. They were promised fresh dispatches by the end of June, but there was no further update. Dealers have reported that the company has been unresponsive and most customers have cancelled their bookings. It is reported that the manufacturing unit located at Chakan has been inoperative since last year.Tork Electric Motorcycle Owners ProtestAssistant Police Inspector of Pimpri-Chinchwad, Kiran Pathare, has said that an investigation is currently in process based on the dealers’ complaint. However, more details were not provided, as the matter is confidential. Pathare said that action will be taken by next week.No salary for 7 monthsAs per reports, employees of Tork Motors have not received salaries for the last seven months. Tork Motors recently sent emails to its employees, serving a ‘Notice of Role Dissolution and Employment Termination’. The email mentions that the company has carried out an in-depth assessment of the existing organizational structure and future plans. Based on that, the company feels the need to dissolve certain roles within the organization.Updated Kratos R Electric motorcycleTork Motors has officially declared employee termination, from July 31, 2024. The company says that this move will help align the workforce with the strategic goals of the organization. The employees will be served relieving letters soon.Bharat Forge writes off investmentOne of the key reasons for Tork Motors’ troubles is the inability to secure fresh investments. It was reported last month that Tork could get around Rs 50 crore via a fresh funding round. However, the deal was reportedly cancelled at the last moment.In the latest development, Bharat Forge has written off its investment in Tork Motors. This was revealed during the media interview about the company’s Q1 earnings. Bharat Forge, via its wholly owned subsidiary Kalyani Forge, owns 64.29% equity stake in Tork Motors. Bharat Forge has been investing in Tork Motors over the last 4-5 years. However, with the reduction in FAME subsidy, Tork Motors’ profitability was adversely impacted.Bharat Forge says that it is only an investor in Tork Motors and does not manage the company. If there are doubts about the company’s future, it will be better to accept that and move on. Bharat Forge has stated that there are no plans to make fresh investments available to Tork Motors. They are working with Tork to ensure an orderly wind up.Customer woesMost Tork customers have positive things to say about their electric motorcycle. However, due to the uncertainties, Tork customers are worried about availability of service and spare parts in the future. As the dealerships may be shut down, users may not be able to get their warranty claims processed.Tork Motors is not the only EV company facing such issues. Earlier this month, dealers of Hero Electric had protested at the company’s headquarters. Such developments indicate that the electric two-wheeler industry may be heading towards the consolidation stage. More

    Ola Electric Bike Side Profile Teased – Global Debut Tomorrow, August 15th

    Ola Electric Bike Side ProfileWhen launched, Ola electric bike is likely to gain dominance in electric motorcycle segment, rivalling offerings from Oben, Revolt and TorkAfter dominating the electric scooter market, Ola Electric is trying to replicate similar success in electric motorcycle space. The company has been teasing the production version of its upcoming electric motorcycle. The recent teaser shows Ola electric bike side profile and establishes its silhouette.Ola Electric Bike Side Profile TeasedOwing to its aggressive pricing strategy, Ola has managed to establish itself as a leader of electric scooter segment. The company’s S1 range of electric scooters have been pretty popular in India, leading the sales charts for a very long time. Now, the company intends to extend its success to electric motorcycle realm too.Ola Electric had showcased as many as four electric motorcycle concepts some time ago. One of them was a Roadster concept which is likely to have spawned a production version. Not long ago, Ola’s design patents filed in India were leaked, showing multiple street naked genre of motorcycles.The design patents looked like they were multiple variants of the motorcycle with varied equipment levels and stylistic elements. There is a good probability of Ola launching multiple versions of its motorcycle. A similar approach was observed with Ola’s S1 range of electric scooters too.Ola Cyber Racer Top VariantFrom the side, Ola electric bike takes the shape of a muscular street naked motorcycle. Ola has teased the bike’s battery and some of its electrical components before. We can see a large battery positioned where an engine would be placed in a conventional motorcycle. We can see a few circuitry and other control boards in the previous teaser too.There is a mid-mounted motor that is driving the rear wheels via a chain drive. From the recent teaser, we can see a glimpse of its componentry. It gets RSU telescopic front suspension at the front and a mono-shock setup at the rear. There is disc brake at both ends and there seems to be 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends.What to expect?Considering that it is from Ola Electric, we might get a plethora of features and gimmicks to make a strong mark for itself in the budding electric motorcycle space. A 7-inch touchscreen instrument screen with Ola Maps, music control and more. There might be an on-board speaker to play music as well.Ola Electric Bike Battery TeasedRange from a single charge might be around 180 km, around a similar ballpark as S1 Pro Gen II. From the past teasers, Ola electric bike looks like it is a commuter style product with performance of a 150cc motorcycle. It gets dual LED projector headlights, as seen in previous teaser and other elements. Price could be around Rs 1.5 lakh (effective Ex-sh). More info will be revealed tomorrow. More

    New Honda CGX 150 (Baby CB350) Debuts – 12 HP, 100 Kmph Top Speed

    Honda CGX 150 (Baby CB350) DebutsAfter launch in China, the Honda CGX 150 will also be considered for multiple international marketsAhead of its expected official unveiling next month in September, some images of the Honda CGX 150 have been presented online. The retro bike will be manufactured at Wuyang-Honda in China. A total of three variants of Honda CGX 150 will be available for sale.Honda CGX 150 – Engine, specsUpcoming Honda CGX 150 is based on the smaller sibling, the classic Wuyang Honda CG 125. Although Honda CGX 150 uses a higher capacity 149cc engine, the engine architecture is the same as the smaller 125cc engine.Honda CGX 150 (Baby CB350) DebutsThe air-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder unit generates 12 hp. The bike is expected to be offered with a 5-speed gearbox. Top-speed could be around 98 km/H. It is possible that Honda may also introduce a 125cc model of the CGX at a later date.Honda CGX 150 utilizes 17-inch wire spoke wheels at both ends, shod with dual-purpose knobby tyres. The front and rear tyres measure 90/90-17 and 110/80-17, respectively. Both ends have disc brakes and front ABS is offered as standard.Honda CGX 150 (Baby CB350) DebutsSuspension setup comprises telescopic forks at front and dual-rear shock absorbers. The bike has a slightly upswept exhaust, which indicates its mild off-roading capabilities. Weighing just 128 kg, Honda CGX 150 can deliver agile performance across varied ride environments. The lightweight profile also makes the bike suitable for beginners.Honda CGX 150 (Baby CB350) DebutsHonda CGX 150 – Styling and featuresSimilarities with the CB350 are quite apparent. Honda CGX 150 has a circular headlamp, circular rear-view mirrors, fork gaiters, curvy fuel tank and minimal body panelling.The cafe racer variant has an exotic design with bar-end dual-tone mirrors, frame in red shade and a rider only seat with a hump at the rear. The fuel tank utilizes a vibrant mix of Honda’s signature blue, white and red colours. The seat is dual-tone and the rear suspension springs are painted red.Honda CGX 150 (Baby CB350) DebutsOther two models get a proper seat and standard grab rails. One of these is a grey-black model, whereas the other utilizes an all-black theme. The latter can be seen with some official accessories such as a visor and side bags.Honda CGX 150 – Launch date, pricingIt is expected that Honda CGX 150 will make its debut in China in September 2024. Launch is scheduled in the spring of 2025 in China. Honda CGX 150 could be offered at a starting price of approximately 10,000 yuan (Rs 1.17 lakh). After the 150cc model, Honda could introduce a smaller 125cc bike based on the same format. Export potential will be evaluated across various international markets.Honda CGX 150 (Baby CB350) DebutsManufacturing will commence at the Wuyang-Honda facility. A joint venture between Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Motors Group Company, Wuyang-Honda has been functional since 1992. At the Wuyang-Honda facility in China, around 20 million two-wheelers have been produced till date.Will Honda CGX 150 launch in India?As the CB350 has emerged as a popular choice, a smaller 150cc retro bike seems to have potential. But it is unlikely to be launched here anytime soon. More
