      New Yamaha Electric Scooter Launch Price EUR 3k – Approx Rs 2.5 L

      by

      Yamaha Neo’s is based on the E02 concept that was showcased by the brand at the Tokyo Motor Show back in 2019New Yamaha NEO’S Electric Scooter Launched In EuropeA week after globally unveiling its first electric scooter, Yamaha has launched Neo’s electric scooter in Europe. The Japanese two-wheeler giant has priced the e-scooter at EUR 3,005 which is equivalent to INR 2.52 lakh. It will be available for sale starting May this year, across select European markets.It is a fully electric equivalent to a 50cc petrol scooter with a similar name retailed by Yamaha in a few international markets. Yamaha has been manufacturing 50cc scooters since the 1990s and Neo’s has been one of the more popular ones. As expected, Neo’s borrows some inspiration from its petrol-powered counterpart.For instance, Yamaha has retained some trademark design elements of the original Neo’s like a pair of distinctive twin headlights in the new battery-powered scooter. As seen in the images, it flaunts a youthful and futuristic design which is very attractive. Neo’s features a curvy yet compact bodywork wrapped in minimalistic styling. In order to protect body panels from scratches, edges have been wrapped around by rubber mouldings.Yamaha Neo’s- Powertrain SpecsComing to powertrain, Neo’s is powered by a brushless DC hub motor which derives its energy from a 50.4V, 19.2Ah Lithium-ion battery pack weighing 8kg. The scooter offers a provision of two removable battery packs of identical capacity in order to extend its range. Neo’s comes with two ride modes- STD and Eco. In STD mode, this powertrain returns a peak output of 2.5 kW (3.4PS) of power and 136 Nm of torque.Yamaha Neo’s Electric ScooterNominal power output stands at 2.3kW whereas top speed is restricted to 40kmph. In Eco mode, peak output drops to 1.58kW while maximum range is rated 38.5 km on a single charge. Using a second battery pack, estimated range can be extended to 68km. Using a standard AC charger, the battery takes eight hours to juice up from 0 to 100 percent.Hardware Specs & FeaturesIn terms of hardware, suspension duties in Neo’s are handled by KYB-sourced telescopic forks at front and a single shock absorber at rear. Braking is carried out by a disc brake upfront and a rear drum brake. The electric scooter rides on 13-inch alloy wheels wrapped with low rolling resistance tyres.It gets an accessible seat height of 785mm to go along with a ground clearance of 135mm which is decent enough for European roads. Even with a heavy battery pack, Neo’s is fairly nimble at 90kg. Neo’s also receives a generous 27 litres of under-seat storage.New Yamaha NEO’S Electric ScooterAs far as features go, Neo’s gets an LCD instrument cluster that is compatible with Yamaha’s MyRide app. This allows Yamaha electric scooter rider to access information like vehicle battery status, route tracking, etc. remotely on his/her phone. It also helps display call and message notifications on the console. Other features on offer include keyless start and full LED lighting.India launch of this new Yamaha Electric Scooter has not been confirmed yet. But, Yamaha India is working on EVs. As per latest update, they have planned a dealer meet on 11th April to showcase the future of Yamaha India. It is likely that at this event Yamaha will showcase their first India-spec electric scooter. More

      2022 Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter Spied Again – New Spy Shots

      by

      Upon its launch, the electric scooter from Suzuki will compete against rivals like Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and Ola S12022 Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter. Image – Saubhagya VasdevLike many other automakers, Suzuki has been investing its time and resources in developing an electric two-wheeler for the Indian market. The company has been testing a prototype that could be the brand’s first electric scooter in the country for more than a year now.This scooter, which is speculated to be a fully electric derivative of Burgman 125, has been spied testing once again recently. The latest spy shots have been clicked by automotive enthusiast Saubhagya Vasdev. The electric scooter looks very familiar to Burgman Street 125 in terms of look.Suzuki Electric Scooter SpiedLike in previous instances, the test was completely undisguised and wore a dual-tone paint scheme with blue and white colours. Biggest highlight from the recent spy images is the absence of an exhaust canister which is clearly visible. It also features a grey sleeve around the footboard which offers a visual distinction. Overall exterior appearance of the test mule is very similar to conventional scooters- both petrol and battery-powered.However, as per patents leaked earlier last year, it features a unique set of internal mechanics. Conventional scooters in EV space usually feature an electric motor and swingarm as a combined unit or take another approach of mounting the motor on the hub of the rear wheel. This allows freeing up space within the chassis to create more room for luggage or larger batteries.2022 Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter. Image – Saubhagya VasdevIn this case, however, patents have revealed a unique design where a drivetrain is located in the under-seat area connected to a motor via a chain drive setup. Rest of the electric scooter’s electronics are mounted on top of the motor along with a speed controller, transformer and battery.Other visual highlightsAdditionally, the reflector is now re-positioned above the registration plate as opposed to below the plate. It also gets a rear tyre hugger for better protection and a digital instrument console, which might feature Bluetooth connectivity as well as 4G LTE. This allows for smartphone connectivity as well as connected features.Most visual details from the electric scooter have been carried forward from Burgam Street 125 though there are very noticeable variations. For starters, a single-sided shock absorber in Burgman is replaced by twin shock absorbers at rear – probably to carry additional weight of lithium-ion battery pack. Like Burgman Street, the battery-powered scooter features a similar set of alloy wheels and a chunky grab rail for pillion.2022 Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter. Image – Saubhagya VasdevSuzuki hasn’t yet revealed any official word on its EV program in India. We expect the upcoming electric scooter to feature a powertrain comprising a 3-4kWh battery pack and a 4-6 kW electric motor. Its exact launch timeline isn’t confirmed yet, we expect Suzuki to officially unveil this upcoming electric scooter sometime later this year. Honda, TVS, Yamaha, Hero are other major two wheeler brands which have plans to launch electric scooter in India. More

      New Honda Hawk 11 Cafe Racer Makes Global Debut – Photos

      by

      Quite a few styling bits for Hawk 11 appear to have been borrowed from CB4 Interceptor Concept that was showcased in 2019New Honda Hawk 11 Cafe Racer. Image – AutoByIn global markets, Honda Africa Twin’s platform has been utilized for other popular bikes such as Rebel 1100 and NT1100. To ensure choices are not limited to tourer, cruiser, ADV segments, Honda has unveiled an entirely new 1100cc bike.Named Hawk 11, the bike was unveiled at the 2022 Osaka Motorcycle Show. This new Honda motorcycle will work to fill the gap that’s been left with the recently discontinued CB1100.New Honda Hawk 11 Cafe RacerA neo-retro cafe racer, Hawk 11’s most distinguishing feature is its Monza fairing. As it is similar to that of CB4 Interceptor Concept, it provides a clue about the level of similarities that could be there between the two bikes.Other key highlights include circular headlamp with DRL and chrome surround, compact windscreen, round rear view mirrors, spear-shaped turn indicators, low-set handlebar and sculpted fuel tank. A single-piece seat will be used for Honda Hawk 11. Images are credited to Young Machine.New Honda Hawk 11 Cafe RacerWhile the CB4 Interceptor Concept had 4 exhaust pipes, making their way under the seat, this one features a more practical design for the exhaust. The bike has minimal fairing and much of the chassis is similar to Africa Twin. A few changes have been introduced to suit its cafe racer profile. Hawk 11 is an all muscle, with the massive twin-cylinder engine highlighting its beasty nature.New Honda Hawk 11 Cafe RacerHonda Hawk 11 specsPowering Hawk 11 will be the same 1082.96 cc engine used with Africa Twin. The liquid cooled motor generates 100 ps of max power at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. The bike is offered with manual as well as DCT transmission option.Hawk 11 has a semi double cradle steel frame with USD front forks and monoshock rear suspension. It’s likely that suspension will be stiffer to ensure optimal performance on the tarmac. The bike has disc brakes at both ends, integrated with dual-channel ABS as standard.New Honda Hawk 11 Cafe RacerLike Africa Twin, Honda Hawk 11 comes with a range of advanced features. It includes heated grips, cruise control, throttle by wire system, selectable and cornering ABS and wheelie control. Multiple ride modes will be on offer including user customizable options. These make adjustments to power delivery based on riding conditions.The bike gets a full-digital touchscreen instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation. Users will be able to access their smartphones for calls, text, music, etc. While cafe racer motorcycles are gaining popularity in India, it’s mostly in the middle-weight segment. High price of the Honda Hawk 11 may limit its prospects. NT1100 has a better chance of getting here, as it has been patented in India. More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan Vs Scram 411 Vs Yezdi Scrambler – Comparison

      by

      Both Royal Enfield Scram 411 and Yezdi Scrambler are aimed at a similar section of buyers who opt for touring as well as scrambling on rough terrains occasionallyImage – Dev MTRRoyal Enfield has launched the much awaited Scram 411 in India at a starting price of Rs 2.03 lakh (ex-showroom). Even before it got launched, Scram 411 has been compared closely with models- Royal Enfield Himalayan and Yezdi Scrambler.The former since Scram is based on the ADV and is a more accessible derivative of the same. The latter because it is Scram’s sole direct rival currently in the Indian market. Now that we have got hold of Scram 411’s official details, we have pitted it against its two closest nemeses and checked how it fares against them on paper.Royal Enfield Himalayan Vs Scram 411 Vs Yezdi ScramblerEven though Scram 411 is based on Himalayan there have been quite a few changes that have led to varying dimensions. The most significant of those is a shorter 17-inch front wheel instead of a 21-inch unit in Himlayan which has resulted in a tighter rake angle for Scram at its front fork. It has also resulted in a reduction of wheelbase and ground clearance by 10mm and 20mm respectively.Due to deletions of components like tank braces, front windscreen and luggage mounting rack at rear, kerb weight of Scram stands 14kg lighter than its ADV sibling. On the other hand, it is still 3kg heavier than Yezdi Scrambler. Both scramblers get same ground clearance but the one from Yezdi offers a much shorter wheelbase of 1403mm. Scram also receives the shortest seat height of 795mm.Royal Enfield Himalayan Vs Scram 411 Vs Yezdi ScramblerPowertrain SpecsBoth Scram and Himalayan are identical in this department as they are powered by the same 411cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 24.3 bhp and 32 Nm of peak torque. In comparison, Yezdi Scrambler is powered by a smaller 334cc engine, however, this one produces a higher output thanks to a liquid cooler.The powertrain in Yezdi Scrambler kicks out 28.7 bhp and 28.2 Nm of peak torque. This unit is paired with a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. At the same time, Royal Enfield siblings are offered a 5-speed gearbox.Hardware SpecsEven in terms of hardware configurations, Scram 411 is almost identical to its donor model. Both are underpinned by a Half-duplex split cradle frame that is suspended on 41mm telescopic forks upfront and a mono-shock at rear. However, front forks for Scram offer 10mm less travel than its adventure twin. In case of Yezdi, it features twin gas-charged shock absorbers at rear.Royal Enfield Himalayan Vs Scram 411 Vs Yezdi ScramblerScram and Scrambler have an exact same wheel configuration with the latter offering slightly fatter tyres at rear. Braking configurations are also similar for all three bikes with Yezdi offering a slightly larger 320mm disc brake at front. All three bikes offer dual-channel ABS as standard, however, Himalayan gets a switchable unit which lends it better control on rough terrains.PricesScram has the lowest priced base model at Rs 2.03 lakh, followed by Yezdi Scrambler at Rs 2.07 lakh and Himalayan at Rs 2.15 lakh (all prices are ex-showroom). The same trend continues in higher variants as well but price differences are not alarming to affect one’s buying decision. More

      2022 Yamaha R15 V4 Vs Honda CBR150R – Specs, Features Comparison

      by

      Both CBR150R and R15 V4 are popular names in the entry-level sports bike category, however, the latter is better equipped than its counterpart2022 Honda CBR150RHonda might be bringing back the entry-level CBR moniker to India. Recently, it was reported that CBR150R has been patented in India and could be making a comeback in the country soon. Prior to its discontinuation in 2017, it was a formidable rival to R15, however, its sales figures did not match up to Honda’s expectations.The Japanese auto giant globally introduced a generation upgrade to the entry-level sports bike in late 2020. Currently, on sale in several international markets, the bike is one of the most favoured motorcycles for young and amateur riders.2022 Yamaha R15 V4 Vs Honda CBR150R – SpecsHere, we compare it against its old arch-rival from Japan- R15 which also received a generation upgrade a few months ago. Starting with powertrain, both motorcycles are closely matched as far as engine output is concerned. On one hand, R15 is powered by a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that features variable valve actuation. This unit pushes out 18.1 bhp and 14.2 Nm of peak torque.On the other hand, CBR150R is propelled by a 150cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC mill which kicks out 17.1 bhp at 9,000rpm and 14.4Nm at 7,000rpm. Both engines are paired with a 6-speed gearbox via assist and slipper clutch. Yamaha clearly has the advantage in terms of power while Honda gets a 3kg lower kerb weight which might aid its performance.2022 Yamaha R15 V4 Vs Honda CBR150RHardware SetupBoth motorcycles are underpinned by different kinds of chassis. While CBR150R is based on a diamond-type truss frame, R15 V4 is underpinned by a Deltabox frame. Suspension duties on both fully-faired bikes are handled by upside-down forks at front and mono-shock at rear. Both Honda and Yamaha offer single disc brakes at both ends that are aided by a dual-channel ABS on their respective offering.FeaturesIn this department, R15 clearly outclasses CBR150R with ease. Latest iteration of the entry-level sports bike from Yamaha gets a fully-digital LCD instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity. It also benefits from rider-aided electronics such as traction control and quick shifter (optional) that aren’t usually associated with bikes from this segment.CBR150R, on the other hand, doesn’t receive any of these. Like R15, CBR150R also features all-LED illumination and a fully digital instrument cluster. While dual-channel ABS is a standard fitment in R15, in CBR it is offered in higher-spec variants. Yamaha also provides owners of R15 access to Y-connect App which offers plenty of connectivity features.2022 Yamaha R15 V4 Vs Honda CBR150R2022 Yamaha R15 V4 Vs Honda CBR150R – PriceYamaha R15 scores better than its Honda counterpart in almost every department. One positive for the latter is that the new-gen R15 has been priced quite steeply starting at Rs 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom). For CBR150R to be an attractive offering for Indian buyers, Honda needs to price considerably lower than its arch-nemesis and for that, it needs to be heavily localised. More
