      Bajaj Exploring Hydrogen-Powered Chetak – CNG Bike Launch In June 2024

      by

      Image for representation only: Credit – L. V. LeeuwenHydrogen powertrain development at Chetak Technology Limited is likely to be in early stages, but CNG motorcycle from Bajaj might launch in June 2024Currently indulged in launching “biggest ever Pulsar” on May 3rd, 2024, Bajaj Auto is also spearheading the exploration of alternative fuels for their 2W and 3W vehicles. The company’s interest in fuels other than petrol and electricity has landed them in Hydrogen and CNG realms and the company is working on both.Bajaj Exploring Hydrogen-Powered ChetakHydrogen fuel is not something very common in Indian market. There are no Hydrogen-powered vehicles on sale in India and there never have been. A few car manufacturers in India have expressed their interest in Hydrogen fuel, but Bajaj is the first to explore possibilities of hydrogen powertrain in 2W and 3W vehicles.The company is exploring hydrogen-powered powertrains under their Chetak Technology Ltd subsidiary. This way, Chetak intends to establish a major position for itself in Indian 2W market by being the first OEM in the Asian subcontinent to venture into Hydrogen powertrain territory. That said, Joy e-bike is developing a Hydrogen powered scooter it would be interesting to see which one of these will launch first.The revelation came when Bajaj Auto appointed Abraham Joseph as the Managing Director of its subsidiary brand, Chetak Technology Limited (CTL). Announcing the change in leadership, one of Bajaj Auto’s statements was “CTL will explore the potential of hydrogen vehicles, further expanding Bajaj Auto’s ability to deliver technologically differentiated products.”Bajaj considering Hydrogen-powered ChetakPreviously, Abraham Joseph filled the position the CTO of Bajaj Auto Limited. A position that will now be filled by Ramtilak Ananthan who assumes the CTO role for Bajaj Auto. Ramtilak Ananthan has performed various roles at Bajaj Auto including VP of Bajaj’s R&D in 2013 and Head of Test & Validation at Bajaj Auto in 2019.As of writing this article, we’re not sure what stage Chetak’s Hydrogen powertrain is in. Also, it is unsure whether Chetak is going for Hydrogen Fuel Cells or a Hydrogen IC engine. More likely to be the former.CNG bike launch in June 2024While efforts in Hydrogen powertrains are set for future propositions, Bajaj is spearheading India’s CNG motorcycle portfolio. Factory-designed and developed CNG motorcycles have never been a thing in India. Bajaj will surely garner the title of the first Indian OEM to launch a CNG-equipped motorcycle.Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Spied – Highest Mileage?Speculations suggest a launch timeline of June 2024. Testing for the same has commenced and we have seen quite a few spy shots already. This motorcycle could be based on its 110cc platform and will be positioned as the motorcycle with the least running cost.Owing to its CNG nature, we expect it to yield good mileage (fuel efficiency) and a decent range on a single refill. This motorcycle will be targeted towards value-conscious buyers who need an economical commuter for their daily commute needs. More

      Ather Electric Scooter Owner Disappointed – Says Service Cost Same As His Kia EV6

      by

      Ather 450S electric scooter service costAther electric scooter owner voices dismay over escalating service costs, attributing the issue to the transition from company-run to dealer-run service centersArun Bhat S, an avid owner of an Ather 450S, took to social media recently to express his disappointment with the service costs associated his electric scooter. In a tweet that resonated across the EV community, Arun lamented what he perceived as a stark departure from Ather Energy’s earlier promise of low service and maintenance expenses.Ather 450S Owner’s Post Sparks ConversationSharing his recent service experience, Arun revealed that the quote for servicing his Ather 450S electric scooter at the 30,000 km mark, amounted to Rs 7,500. Arun says that his Kia EV6 which was serviced at 20,000 km, had similar service cost. Work done on his Kia EV6 included AC filter replacement, wheel alignment, balancing and rotation.Ather 450S electric scooter service costArun disclosed that the lion’s share of the Ather service cost was attributed to an overhaul of brake components. This revelation contrasted with his experience with electric cars, where extensive brake maintenance is uncommon due to minimal use, especially in vehicles equipped with regenerative braking systems like the Ather 450S.Arun highlights that when earlier he had subscribed to Ather’s pro service packs for his scooter, it was a peaceful experience. But with service packs discontinued by the company, many Ather owners are facing issues with service cost. He says that Ather’s transition to a dealership model for service might have contributed to the surge in costs, suggesting that only fuel savings could somewhat justify such expenses in the grand scheme of total ownership costs.Ather 450S electric scooter service costAther’s Service Subscription Revisit: Customer DemandsDrawing comparisons, Arun noted that his experience with the Ola S1 Pro electric scooter, another vehicle in his possession, hadn’t encountered similar issues with service costs thus far. Urging Ather Energy to reconsider the decision to discontinue service subscriptions, Arun emphasized that exorbitant service costs have been a significant pain point for numerous Ather customers.Ather 450S electric scooter service cost quoteAccompanying his social media post was a photo of the service quote, where Arun couldn’t help but express his astonishment at the charges for labour and parts. The total amount indicated on the service quote stood at Rs 10,872, prompting Arun to express his incredulity at the apparent disproportionality of the charges.Ather RespondsAther has gotten in touch with Arun, who has shared all the necessary details. Arun replied, “My larger point is about the exorbitant service and maintenance costs now all owners seem to be made to bear. This wasn’t the case earlier, when the service centers were company run and not dealer run. Customers first always.”Arun’s media post has sparked conversations among electric vehicle and Ather owners, highlighting worries about how much it costs to maintain and how transparent are those costs. As the electric vehicle industry continues to evolve, Arun’s experience serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between innovation and affordability for consumers. More

      Bajaj Pulsar 400 Spy Shots Leak – New Details Out Before Launch

      by

      Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shots by The Fat BikerWhen launched, Bajaj Pulsar 400 new details puts it against TVS Apache RTR 310, Hero Mavrick 440, Triumph Speed 400 and KTM 390 DukeThere have been a few teasers for Bajaj’s “Biggest Ever Pulsar” launch released by the company. The launch is slated for May 3rd, 2024 and is one of the most anticipated motorcycles in India. Ahead of launch, new details of Pulsar 400 have surfaced on the internet (thanks to The Fat Biker channel), which show interesting design choices from Bajaj.Bajaj Pulsar 400 New Details RevealedIf there is a motorcycle brand in India that is hell-bent on completely overhauling one of its sub-brands, it has to be Bajaj Auto. The company is launching new Pulsars like launching missiles in a war zone. The next proper launch from Bajaj will be their flagship Pulsar. This time around, it will be launched under the Pulsar umbrella.Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shotsOwing to Bajaj’s naming strategies in domestic and export markets, initial speculations on “Biggest Pulsar Ever” revolved around a re-branded Dominar 400 as Pulsar 400. However, recent spy images from The Fat Biker reveal first look at the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 400.From the looks of it, these images seem to be captured at Bajaj’s storage within their manufacturing facility. We can see bubble wrap on the motorcycle’s fuel tank indicating that it might be on the verge of being transported. Probably to dealerships. We can see a new face Bajaj is going for and some bits of handlebar and engine compartment.Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shotsHeadlight design is unique to this Pulsar 400 and is an amalgamation of Pulsar N series and the new Pulsar NS series. The bi-LED projector headlight is carried over from Pulsar N series and the lightning bolt-like elements are from Pulsar NS series. The fascia looks like it is larger than the Pulsar N series.Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shotsAlso larger are tank shrouds that lend muscular and chiselled aesthetics typical of a street fighter. Further contributing to its macho appearance, we have beefy USD telescopic front forks finished in a lovely shade of Gold. As opposed to Pulsar N250 with its dashboard doubling as a windscreen, Pulsar 400 gets an actual windscreen. A small one at that, though. Take a look at the spy shot video below, shared by Rohit Paradkar.[embedded content]Same engine as Triumph Speed 400?Other notable attributes we could spot are LED turn indicators, conventional handlebars like Pulsar N250, handlebar risers for upright ergos, and a number plate holder below its headlight.Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shotsAlso visible is the muscular engine cowl and what looks like a radiator shroud. This begs the question, what engine might Pulsar 400 sport? Speculations suggest either the same 373cc engine from Dominar 400 or the 398cc engine that is seen on Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. Either way, the upcoming Pulsar 400 will be a fitting rival to other high-performance single-cylinder machines like KTM 390 Duke, Triumph Speed 400, Hero Mavrick 440, TVS Apache RTR 310, BMW G 310 R and the likes. Below are renders of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 400. More

      2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220 Arrives At Dealer Showroom – New Features, Colours, Walkaround

      by

      2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220. Images – Kiran AutomobileSpec to spec, 2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220 only has only one rival in Indian motorcycle industry in the form of Hero Xtreme 200S 4VBajaj Auto is on a roll and is launching new Pulsars left, right and centre. However, in typical Bajaj fashion, units have reached dealerships ahead of an official announcement. The same has happened with 2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220 and all the colours have been detailed too. Here’s a look at the new Pulsar 220 in all possible colours.2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220 Reached DealershipsHow many updated Bajaj Pulsars did we witness till now? Let’s take a count. We first saw the launch of Pulsar N150 and Pulsar N160. Then we saw updated Pulsar NS160 and Pulsar NS200. Pulsar 150 was next and then Bajaj’s gaze fell on Pulsar N250 and that was updated too.2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220Just today, we covered a Pulsar N160 with USD forks update and then we have the “biggest ever Pulsar” launch on May 3rd, 2024. Ahead of the launch of “biggest ever Pulsar” Bajaj’s original “biggest ever Pulsar”, the Pulsar 220 has been updated for MY24 with new features and colourways.As for the MY24 update, Bajaj has introduced a fully digital instrument cluster that we recently saw with 2024 Pulsar 150. This replaced the prior semi-digital instrument cluster with an analogue tachometer and a digital speedo and trip computer. Other notable attributes with Pulsar 220 is a USB charging socket on the dashboard area with easy access.2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220Unlike the fully digital instrument cluster seen with larger Pulsar NS and Pulsar N range featuring turn-by-turn navigation, the one offered with 2024 Pulsar 220 is pretty limited where functionalities are concerned. It only offers Bluetooth connectivity with smartphone app and notification alerts.2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220New coloursNo Bajaj update is complete with new graphics and 2024 Pulsar 220 doesn’t disappoint in this regard. We see three colour combinations with the new Pulsar 220 – Black & Grey, Black & Blue and Black & Red. Remember the rare and limited Silver monotone colour offered with Pulsar 220 in the early days? Whatever happened to that lovely colour, huh? It would be so classy today on this machine.[embedded content]Specs and componentry have been kept identical to the preceding model. The same tried and tested 220cc single-cylinder air cooled engine with 20.11 bhp and 18.55 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox continues duty. Tyres, brakes, single-channel ABS, lighting, suspension and other cycle parts remain the same.2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220Pulsar 220 is a special motorcycle in Indian motorcycling history as it was brought back from the dead. Popularity and legacy of this legendary machine couldn’t be buried and re-surfaced to bring sales and volumes in the 200cc to 300cc segment that Pulsar 250 twins (N250 and F250) couldn’t achieve.Also read – Bajaj Pulsar 400 launch on 3rd May 2024.
