Bajaj Sunny EV SpottedThe new upcoming Bajaj Sunny EV spotted testing has almost identical design and aesthetics of old ICE Sunny scooter sold in mid-90sWords scooter (ICE) and Bajaj don’t often go hand in hand in a sentence in recent past. Last ever scooter from Bajaj I could remember, is Kristal. Many have no recollection of Kristal too. That said, Bajaj used to make popular scooters in the past like Chetak and Sunny. Now that Chetak is resurrected in EV guise, Sunny EV resurrection is underway too, as seen from spy shots.Bajaj Sunny Scooter Spotted Testing – Back from the dead!The Indian 2W and 3W manufacturer, Bajaj Auto, has a diverse portfolio both here in India and abroad. With EV scene on the rise, Bajaj seems to be carving a niche for itself new entrants and mainstream bikemakers. The company currently has Chetak e-scooter which is getting a hub motor and is homologated too.There seems to be space for an entry-level e-scooter in Bajaj’s portfolio that may be filled by upcoming Sunny. Considering how old Bajaj Sunny is, there has to be a major design overhaul, right? Wrong. Bajaj seems to be playing nostalgia card or affordability card as upcoming Bajaj Sunny EV is almost identical to old Sunny (ICE scooter).The round headlights, minimal body panels, rectangular tail lights, 3-spoke steel wheels, slim and long seat, thin aprons and long front fender is reminiscent of Bajaj Sunny of the yesteryears. There are some differences, though. For starters, the spare wheel placed at the footwell is now replaced with a battery pack and rear wheel is swapped for a hub motor.Bajaj Sunny EV floorboard-mounted batteryThis is the first time Bajaj is testing an exposed and removable battery. Seeing how exposed the battery is, it wouldn’t fly in India when it goes on sale. This is likely to be a pre-production unit and production-spec model may get a concealed battery, taking up floorboard real estate. Side exhaust is gone and rear now gets a hub motor.Why though?Other tiny details that are different with this new test mule include conventional ORVMs instead of round ones of mid-90s Bajaj Sunny. Turn indicators are much sleeker and probably have LEDs too. Pillion grab rail is redesigned and still features a rack as well. Looking at this motorcycle, it would be a slow-speed scooter (top speed below 25 km/h).Bajaj Sunny EV – New Vs OldWe hope the front suspension setup has telescopic forks and not steel springs. More performance than the 3 bhp 60cc engine on old Bajaj Sunny would not be a stretch to imagine. But it begs the question of existence. Why is it under testing? Does Bajaj intend to launch it in India or just ship it to under-developed nations?It doesn’t make much sense as a last-mile-delivery application because of its floorboard-mounted battery setup. Speaking of last-mile-delivery applications, there is a very good chance of this being based on Yulu scooters too. Since this is the first-ever sighting of Bajaj Sunny EV, more test mules will follow in the future and reveal more details.Source More

Bajaj Pulsar N150 LaunchedThe new Bajaj Pulsar N150 is a combination of P150 and N160 motorcycles within the Pulsar lineup, offering best of both worldsPulsar line from Bajaj Auto has been one of the most popular and sought-after among motorcycling enthusiasts. Today, Bajaj has launched yet another Pulsar in India. This is the Pulsar N150 and is the third 150cc Pulsar in its portfolio. Bajaj has priced it at Rs. 1.17 lakh (ex-sh), which is in line with the segment considering Pulsar P150 starts from Rs. 1.17 lakh (ex-sh) for single disc single seat variant. Bajaj Pulsar N150 Launch SoonIf there is a motorcycle lineup that has the most models under one sub-brand, it has to be Bajaj’s Pulsar. Now, there are two 125cc Pulsars, three 150cc, two 160cc, one 200cc, one 220cc and two 250cc Pulsars. Bajaj has already confirmed launch of “biggest Pulsar” by the end of this financial year.Rushlane’s sources have confirmed 294cc engine displacement number for this “biggest Pulsar”. By the end of this financial year, Bajaj has confirmed six new Pulsar launches and Pulsar N150 is likely to be first of these six. New Pulsar N150 boasts an edgier and slightly more appealing design than Pulsar P150. There are three colour options on offer – Racing Red, Ebony Black and Metallic Pearl White. Pearl Metallic White shade resembles the one offered with Pulsar NS160. This is by far the best colour for Pulsar N range and we hope it makes it to Pulsar N160 and Pulsar N250 as well. Sticking to Bajaj’s core strategies, there is no design change with Pulsar N150 when compared to Pulsar N160. In a general way, one can surmise Pulsar N150 as the Pulsar N160 with Pulsar P150’s powertrain and wheels.[embedded content]One thing that Pulsar N150 seems to miss out on, is an option to choose a split seat and dual disc brake variant. Something which Pulsar P150 has on offer for Rs. 1.2 lakh (ex-sh). We would wager that Bajaj will introduce a twin disc with split seat variant with Pulsar N150 in the future if there is enough demand. Changes as opposed to Pulsar P150New Bajaj Pulsar N150 has similar headlights, body panels and fuel tank as Pulsar N160. Bi-LED projector headlight setup along with LED DRLs is slightly better than on Pulsar P150. Overall design is sharper and edgier too and fits the overall aggressive character that Bajaj is going for.Even though most design attributes are from Pulsar N160, wheels and tyres aren’t. New Pulsar N150 gets the same alloy wheels as Pulsar P150. But tyres are fatter than on Pulsar P150 with a 90-section width at front and a 120-section width at the rear.Pulsar N150 Racing Red and Pearl Metallic WhitePowertrain is similar to the one on Pulsar P150. This is a 149.68cc single-cylinder engine generating 14.29 bhp and 13.5 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Attributes like USB phone charger, bezel-less semi-digital instrument cluster, single disc setup at both ends, single-channel ABS and underbelly exhaust are notable.Words from the manufacturerSarang Kanade, President – Motorcycles, Bajaj Auto said, “Twenty years ago, we launched the first Pulsar 150 cc motorcycle that shook up the entry-level sport biking segment and has been India’s largest selling 150cc since then. With the N150, Pulsar is back to rule the road in its biggest and boldest avatar.Its aggressive styling, segment-leading features, stellar on-road performance and an incredibly attractive price point make it a splendid value addition to the Pulsar family. Our goal is to make the joy of riding accessible to everyone, and this new bike is a testimony to that mission.” More
