      New Honda 50cc Scooters Debut With Updated Features, Colours

      by

      New Honda 50cc Scooter – GiornoHonda has priced Giorno at JPY 2,09,000 (approx. Rs 1.34 lakh), Dunk has been priced slightly higher at JPY 2,29,900 (approx. Rs 1.47 lakh)
      While Japan is home to many quirky and flashy scooters, the streets are also filled with simple and easy to go affordable scooters. Honda has launched updated versions of its two entry-level scooters in its home market- Giorno and Dunk. Both scooters offer a simplistic riding experience to consumers looking for a daily commuter.
      New Honda 50cc Scooters receive the same internals but flaunt distinct top hats which represent different flavours. While Giorno offers a retro design, Dunk seems more inclined for a younger section of riders with modern styling elements. Both scooters offer a simple and neutral appearance but flaunt the impression of Honda’s high quality.
      Honda Giorno, Dunk – Styling
      Starting with Giorno, the updated scooter sports proportions of a normal-sized scooter. The most prominent highlights include a round headlight and overall retro scooter design cues with its curvy bodywork.
      At first glance, Giorno is reminiscent of retro scooters from Vespa. Chrome highlights around the headlamp, taillamp, turn indicators, rear fenders and tail section give the scooter an old-school charm.

      On the other hand, Dunk looks more stylish and modern with edgy panels all around. It flaunts a V-shaped halogen headlight mounted on the front apron and flanked by bulb turn indicators. Unlike Giorno which rides on silver-coloured alloy wheels, Dunk rolls on black alloys which enhances its sporty appearance.
      Both scooters are offered in multiple colour options. Giorno is offered in four paint schemes namely Virgin Beige, Pearl Deep Mud Grey, Matte Armored Green Metallic and Summer Pink. Its modern sibling, Dunk, gets the option of three shades with Matte Jeans Blue Metallic, Pearl Deep Mud Gray, and Matte Ballistic Black Metallic.
      Features on offer
      The scooters are laced with several commuter-friendly amenities making them ideal for urban commutes. Both scooters are equipped with an analogue console (with a digital inset below) and a 12V USB charging port inside the glovebox which gets 500ml storage.

      A large hook at the centre allows riders to pin their luggage on the flat footboard. Both these Honda 50cc Scooters are offered with a decent 23-litre under-seat storage, enough to store one’s knick-knacks.
      Dunk and Giorno offer a 4.5-litre fuel tank capacity and returns a claimed mileage of 75-80 kmpl. This results in a range of around 340-350 km on a full tank. Both scooters are extremely nimble at 81 kilos. While Dunk gets a seat height of 730mm, saddle in Giorno is even more accessible at 720mm.
      Mechanical Specs
      Powering both scooters is a mere 49cc single-cylinder unit that produces a modest 4.5 PS of power at 8,000rpm and 4.1 Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. Hardware configuration comprises a suspension setup of conventional telescopic forks at front for both scooters. While Giorno offers dual shock absorbers at rear, Dunk receives a mono-shock. The former gets drum brakes at both ends, the latter gets a front disc brake and a rear brake. More

All three bikes have powerful LED headlamps and tail lamps. Adventure and Scrambler are equipped with handlebar-mounted USB & Type C charging points.
      Another difference can be seen in instrument console with Scrambler and Roadster getting round pods. In comparison, Adventure has a rectangular instrument console. It comes in a shock-proof casing and can be tilt-adjusted to suit both sitting and standing ride positions. Take a look at the detailed walkaround review of Yezdi motorcycles in the video below by Ujjwal Saxena.

      All three Yezdi bikes offer a comfortable riding stance. Adventure has split seat design in comparison to single seat units on Roadster and Scrambler. The one on Scrambler comes in quilted pattern, which enhances its overall look and feel.
      Yezdi Adventure packs in some additional features such as Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. Users can pair their smartphones with the instrument console via Yezdi mobile app. They can search and fix destinations and get turn-by-turn navigation on the instrument console.

While Roadster and Scrambler get dual exhaust, Adventure has single side exhaust. Braking system is common, 320 mm disc at front and 240 mm disc at rear. Dual-channel ABS is standard across all three Yezdi bikes.
      All three Yezdi bikes have double cradle chassis, integrated with telescopic front forks. Roadster and Scrambler have gas-canister based dual shock absorber at rear whereas Adventure gets monoshock with coil spring and linkage mechanism. While 17-inch rear wheels are common across all three bikes, front wheels are 18-inch for Roadster, 19-inch for Scrambler and 21-inch for Adventure. Choice of rubber is also different. More

      New TVS ApacheStreet naked bikes from Honda like Hornet 2.0 and X-Blade registered single and nil volume respectively

      This was a drop of 33,079 units from October this year and a 26 percent MoM decline. In comparison to November last year, a drop of 58,432 units was recorded which resulted in a YoY decline of 38.21 percent. The top spot was taken by Apache brand of sport commuter motorcycles from TVS.

      Oben Electric Motorcycle Spied Testing In Bangalore

      by

      Oben Electric Motorcycle Spied Testing
      Bengaluru-based EV startup Oben will launch a fully indigenous electric motorcycle in the first quarter of 2022
      December 2021 witnessed the birth of another electric vehicle (EV) brand in India named Oben EV which currently possesses 16 patented innovations. The company has already revealed a working prototype in the form of an electric motorcycle. A prototype of this battery-powered motorcycle has now been spotted testing in Bengaluru.
      Designed and conceptualized by a Bengaluru-based couple Madhumita and Dinkar Agarwal, this electric motorcycle is slated to make its debut in the first quarter of 2022. With EVs gradually gaining prominence in the country, especially in the two-wheeler segment, demand for sustainable mobility is being created in the market.
      Oben Electric Motorcycle Spied
      The latest spy shots credited to auto enthusiast Sourabh suggest that the electric motorcycle is in its final stages of development. Almost all panels of the motorcycle have been wrapped under camouflage, however, its distinct design says it out loud. Ultra-compact dimensions of the electric motorcycle would make it very flickable and easy to handle. The motorcycle flaunts a neo-retro design with many classic styling elements.
      The most prominent highlights are a round LED headlamp and a sculpted faux fuel tank. Unlike the concept prototype which received a split-style raked-up seat, the test mule appeared to boast a flat single-piece seat. The motorcycle rolled on black alloy wheels which enhanced its sporty appeal.
      Oben Electric Motorcycle Concept
      Ergonomics seem fairly simple with an upright riding posture, a wide and tall handlebar and centre-set footpegs that should offer a comfortable riding experience. Even though the motorcycle showcased earlier last month was naked and flaunted minimal body panels, the same cannot be said about the latest test prototype. We expect a few other differences to occur when the production-spec model is unveiled.
      Powertrain, Feature Details
      From the spy shots, it is evident that it gets a hub-mounted electric motor, however, the Bengaluru-based EV hasn’t revealed official specs of the powertrain. Oben has stated the production version of the electric motorcycle should offer a top speed of 100kmph and a range of 200km on a single charge. The battery-powered motorcycle will be able to sprint 0-40 kmph in 3 seconds.
      Charging time claimed for the motorcycle will be 2 hours but it can be fast-charged in an hour using an external DC charger. Oben will be kitting the motorcycle with many modern features such as a fully digital LCD instrument console which houses multiple connectivity suites. Riders can also access multiple ride-related information on their smartphones.
      Oben intends to make a motorcycle made out of fully indigenous parts which will help the motorcycle to be priced aggressively. While official launch is scheduled for this quarter, deliveries of the electric motorcycle are claimed to begin by April 2022. The EV startup is expected to commence bookings in the coming months.

      Yezdi Adventure Prices
      Powering Yezdi Adventure is the same 334cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine which propels Jawa Perak. However, the engine has been tweaked to suit its adventure characteristics and offers more bottom-end grunt. In Adventure, this motor kicks out 30.2 PS of power at 8000rpm and a peak torque of 29.9 Nm at 6500rpm. This unit is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. More

All three motorcycles had been teased on social media ahead of their launch.

Some common visual highlights include a round headlamp, circular rearview mirrors, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, engine radiator shrouds and fork gaiters. However, both motorcycles are significantly different in their design and characteristics.
      [embedded content]
      While Roadster offers a cruiser-like low stance with relaxed ergonomics, Scrambler is aimed more at a youthful section of riders who want to have a fun riding experience. Highlights on Scrambler include a single-piece seat with a ribbed pattern, a raised tail section with split grab rails and a luggage mounting rack. On the other hand, Roadster gets a single-piece flat seat with a pillion cowl and a broad rear fender.
      Yezdi Roadster Specs
      Both motorcycles get dual exhausts, however, the ones offered in Scrambler are slightly upswept in comparison to the straight line units offered in Roadster.

      Colour Options & Features

      by

      Ather Electric Scooter 450xAther electric scooters have become costlier by around Rs 5,500; prices may vary based on state subsidy
      Ather Energy was among the first EV startups to commence operations in the country. Ather currently has two products on offer, 450X and 450 Plus. Both scooters share the same platform, but differ in terms of range, acceleration, and available features. 450X is the top-spec variant, offering a comprehensive range of advanced features.
      Ather 450X and 450 Plus new price January 2022
      Instead of directly increasing prices of its scooters, the company has decided to charge Rs 5,475 for Ather Dot charger. Earlier, the charger was offered at a discounted price of just Re 1.
      Starting price of Ather 450X and 450 Plus will vary based on the amount of subsidy provided by respective state government. Ex-showroom price (excluding subsidies) of Ather 450X and 450 Plus is around Rs 1.70 lakh across most states. Ather 450X comes with additional features that costs Rs 19,010 extra.
      FAME II subsidy provided by central government is fixed at Rs 43,500 across India. State subsidies vary and are updated every quarter based on available budget. State subsidy is directly transferred to the customer and can be obtained by submitting relevant documents. It is to note that not all states offer subsidies for EVs.
      Ather Electric Scooters
      As of now, Maharashtra is among the states offering sizable subsidy for electric two-wheelers. In case of Ather 450X and 450 Plus, the applicable subsidy in cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and Nashik is Rs 24,500.

      Other states like Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Goa, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh also do not have subsidy for electric two-wheelers. Prices of Ather 450 Plus and 450X in these states are close to that of Bengaluru.
      No updates
      There are no updates for Ather electric scooters with this latest round of price hike. Both scooters are equipped with a 2.9 kWh lithium-ion, IP67 battery pack. However, usable capacity is 2.6 kWh with 450X and 2.23 kWh with 450 Plus. While continuous power output is 3.3 kW for both scooters, peak power output is 6 kW for 450X and 5.4 kW for 450 Plus. Torque is 26 Nm and 22 Nm, respectively.
      Both Ather scooters have top speed of 80 kmph. In terms of acceleration, 450X is faster. It achieves 0-40 kmph in 3.3 seconds whereas 450 Plus takes 3.9 seconds. 450X is better in terms of gradeability, as it can handle 20° inclines, as compared to 18° of 450 Plus.
      Another benefit is that 450X gets Warp ride mode. This is in addition to Eco, Ride and Sport modes available with both scooters. Ather 450X offers higher range of 116 km, as compared to 100 km of 450 Plus. In Eco mode, true range works out at 85 km for 450X and 70 km for 450 Plus. More
