      Image – Power RacerElectric two wheeler demand is on the rise with 355 percent YoY increase – Petrol scooters posted a 37.32 percent YoY de-growth
      Two wheeler buyer are slowly but surely turning their attention to electric scooters. More established e-scooter makers such as Bajaj Auto and TVS with Chetak and iQube respectively, are seeing a steady uptick in sales. Between the two, it was TVS iQube that has posted higher sales numbers in November 2021.
      Petrol powered scooters on the other hand are facing dismal sales. Scooter sales in the past month dipped as much as 37.32 percent down to 2,86,765 units from 4,57,519 units sold in November 2020. Much of the blame these poor sales can be attributed to the ever increasing price of petrol, which has now crossed Rs 100/liter mark across India. Suzuki Burgman Street and Honda Grazia were the only two scooters on this list to post YoY growth.
      Top 10 Scooters Nov 2021 – Honda Activa Leads List
      Leading in scooter sales was the hotly favoured Honda Activa (Activa 6G and Activa 125). Despite a YoY de-growth, it was the only scooter in its segment to see sales cross the 1 lakh unit mark while all other scooters failed to even pass 50,000 unit sales. Activa sales dipped 45.05 percent to 1,24,082 units in November 2021, down from 2,25,822 units sold in November 2020. This was a difference of 1,01,740 units even as the Activa commands a 43.27 percent share in its segment.
      Honda now looks forward to the new Activa 125cc Premium Edition adding to its sales numbers. Launched in two variants, Activa 125 Premium Edition is priced from Rs 78,725 for Drum Alloy while Disc variant is priced at Rs 82,280 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

      Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor Spied With Single Side Exhaust

      by

      New Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 With Single Side ExhaustA new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 test mule has been spied testing – Which has a single side exhaust
      In the 650cc segment, Royal Enfield offers the Interceptor and the Continental GT. Both these motorcycles are the best selling motorcycles in the segment in the country. They are also the only 650cc motorcycles which are made in India and exported around the world.
      These flagship motorcycles have been on sale for a few years now. While it still carries a very minimalistic approach and is far from the sophisticated technologies offered in modern premium machines, it also gets some useful features not seen before from the Chennai-based manufacturer. Earlier this year, they did get a minor update. But it still missed out on features like tripper navigation, which was first introduced on the Meteor 350 last year, and on the Classic 350 in Sep 2021.
      2022 Royal Enfield 650 Update
      It is likely that Royal Enfield will dish out more updates to the 650 Twins in 2022. Apart from adding Tripper Navigation system, RE could also update the exhaust system. Instead of the twin exhaust setup (one on each side), RE could offer a single side exhaust system, as seen in the latest test mule that was spied near company plant in Chennai.
      The motorcycle remains same – twin cylinder 650cc. It is only the exhaust system, which will be routed via a single end-can, instead of the double end-can in current 650 RE. It is not clear as to why Royal Enfield is testing a new exhaust system with single end-can. Many customers who are buying the RE 650, want the dual end-can exhaust.
      New Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 With Single Side Exhaust
      There could be some benefits though, of the single side exhaust. Reducing the exhaust end can to just 1, will help reduce the weight by a few kgs. The upswept end-can of test mule will reduce the width of the motorcycle, allowing ease of riding in traffic or in tight spaces. It will also be easier to caliberate as well as source – especially in these times of global parts shortage.
      Tripper Navigation
      Other update expected on board the 2022 650 Twins, is the Tripper Navigation system. This offers turn-by-turn navigation as standard across the range. Meteor 350 was the first bike to be laced with such a feature. It is now also on offer with Classic 350 new gen.
      The Tripper comes in two parts- the pod beside the instrument cluster and the mobile app. While the pod acts as a face, the app acts a brain which essentially means that the rider enters coordinates of the location in the app and the display pod shows turn-by-turn instructions of the route.
      New Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 With Single Side Exhaust
      The app displays information from Google Location and Maps by making use of the smartphone’s processing power as well as GPS for navigation. Using this app also means that navigation won’t be compromised even outside the network coverage area. The display pod not only provides navigation commands with arrows and distances but also captures the rider’s attention by flashing the arrows when a turn approaches close.
      With the arrows gradually filling in when turn approaches, it gets caught in the rider’s peripheral vision which tells the rider to take appropriate action without getting distracted from the road. Royal Enfield will eventually offer this on all their current as well as upcoming new motorcycles.

      by

      Earth Energy Glyde SX Electric ScooterGlyde SX and Glyde SX+ electric scooters are more affordable as compared to TVS iCube and Bajaj Chetak
      Even as Hero Electric, Okinawa Scooters, Ampere Vehicles, Ather Energy and Revolt Motors are top players in the electric two wheeler segment in India, there are several startups entering the fray. Recent sales charts show up that it is this electric two wheeler segment that is quickly gaining ground.
      If this pace of growth is anything to go by, one can firmly believe, that India’s two wheeler segment will be led by electric vehicles in the not too distant future. Earth Energy, one such electric vehicle startup, had marked its entry into this segment earlier with two commuter e-scooters Glyde SX and Glyde SX+.
      Earth Energy EV Glyde SX Electric Scooter
      Pre-bookings commenced at a down payment of Rs 1,000 via the company’s website. Retail rollout starts from company plant in 1st week of Jan 2022. The company has now announced pricing of the two scooters that vary state-wise.
      Presented across 7 states in India, the SX and SX+ are priced at Rs 79,000 and Rs 97,000, respectively in the state of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Prices in Gujarat are at Rs 73,000 and Rs 97,000, while in Kerala, Glyde SX and SX+ will carry a price tag of Rs 74,000 and Rs 97,000.
      Earth Energy Glyde SX Electric Scooter
      Likewise, in Maharashtra, prices will be at Rs 74,000 and Rs 95,000, respectively and in Karnataka, Glyde SX and SX+ will cost Rs 79,999 and Rs 98,175. Prices will be highest in the state of Tamil Nadu at Rs 78,000 and Rs 1,00,000. The company has also appointed dealerships in each of these states and also in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa where sales will commence later.
      Earth Energy confirms that these two e-scooter will be built from the ground up, with upto 98 percent localization. Production will be carried out at the company’s greenfield plant in Maharashtra, spread over an area of 20,000 sq ft which will be expanded by an additional 20,000 sq ft with annual capacity of 46,000 units. Earlier this year, the company also set up a 7000 sq ft R&D facility in Vasai, Mumbai, and produces Li-ion battery packs in-house.
      Glyde SX and SX+ – Technical Specs
      Earth Energy’s Glyde SX and SX+ e-scooters will be powered by a 3.9 kW battery pack with 12 percent grade-ability. The SX scooter with 74 Nm torque will be capable of a drive range of 150 kms per charge and a top speed of 25km/h. License will not be required for the SX variant but will be necessary for the SX+ e-scooter due to its higher capacity and top speed.
      Earth Energy Glyde SX Electric Scooter
      The SX+ variant with 140 Nm torque will have a driving range of 100 kms per charge and will be capable of a top speed of 90 km/h. Charging time will be in 40 minutes via a fast charger and in 2 hours 30 minutes via a normal 3 pin plug.
      Aimed at the commuter segment, features on the Glyde SX+ will include LED lighting and a 5 inch digital instrument cluster showing off battery charge, speed and range.

      New TVS Ntorq Thor, Spider Man Editions Launched – Iron Man Discontinued?

      by

      New TVS Ntorq Thor and Spider Man Editions launchedNew Super Squad variants are in addition to existing Captain America and Black Panther – Iron Man Edition removed from website
      Aiming to provide more choices to superhero fans, TVS has launched Spiderman and Thor variants of Ntorq 125. The timing seems perfect, as Spider-Man: No Way Home has just opened in theatres across India. Theme of the movie also connects, as identity of our own friendly neighbourhood web-slingers will be revealed soon.
      Same goes for fans of hammer-wielding Thor, the protector of both gods and humans. Next edition of Thor, Love and Thunder is slated for release in July 2022. Ntorq Spiderman and Thor variants are priced at Rs 84,850 (ex-showroom, Delhi). This is the same as other Super Squad variants.
      TVS Ntorq Spiderman and Thor variant details
      While Spiderman’s suit has undergone numerous variations across movies and comic books, Ntorq Spiderman edition sticks to the original red and blue theme. This one probably has the highest recall among most Spidey fans.
      Front apron of the scooter gets the red shade whereas the front fender comes in blue. A mix of red and blue can be seen on side panels. Enhancing the theme further are spider and web-like decals which cover much of the body panels.
      New TVS Ntorq Thor and Spider Man Editions launched
      Ntorq Thor Super Squad edition looks relatively sober with a mix of black, grey and red shades. Decals matching various aspects of the superhero such as hammer, lightning, knitted dark grey suit and burgundy cape can be seen on side panels.
      It is apparent that Ntorq Spiderman edition will be much easier to spot, as compared to Thor variant. Ntorq Spidey will have a strong street presence, just like Captain America and Black Panther Ntorq. The Iron Man edition of Ntorq is no longer listed on the official website. It has likely been discontinued, as the Avenger dies in Endgame.
      Theme of Ntorq Spiderman and Thor variants extends to the SmartXonnect app as well. UI has been customized to reflect notable aspects of the superheroes such as their silhouette, Spiderman logo, Thor’s hammer, etc. Aim is to make overall experience a lot more engrossing and fun for superhero fans. Customized UI for the app is also available for existing Ntorq Super Squad variants.
      TVS Ntorq Iron Man Edition removed from website – Likely discontinued
      No superhero powers
      New Ntorq Spiderman and Thor editions will continue with the same features and hardware as existing Ntorq. Some key features include aggressive front cluster, aircraft inspired styling, gaming console inspired speedometer, sporty split grab rail, split type rear fender, stubby muffler, afterburner styled rear vents, and sporty T-shaped rear lamp.
      In terms of comfort and convenience, the scooter offers patented EZ centre stand, engine kill switch, pass by switch, large underseat storage with USB charger and light, external fuel fill, and dual steering lock. Safety features include high speed alert and parking brake.
      Ntorq is powered by a 124.8 cc motor that generates 9.2 hp of max power at 7,000 rpm and 10.5 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. The scooter has under bone tubular type frame with telescopic front suspension and coil spring units at rear. It runs on 12-inch alloy wheels, shod with 100/80 tubeless tyres at both ends. Braking duties on disc variants are performed by 220mm disc at front and 130mm drum brake at rear. More

      2022 Honda Navi Modified By Workshops In The USA

      by

      2022 Honda Navi ModifiedHonda is offering its own range of customisation packs called Icon and TrueTimber with Navi in USA
      Just a few days ago, Honda Navi went on sale in USA at a launch price of USD 1,807 (approx. INR 1.34 lakh). Barely a week later, custom Navi motorcycles were showcased at the model’s media ride event at Westside Museum in Southern California. These projects have been given life by two US-based aftermarkets workshops- MNNTHBX and Steady Garage.
      2022 Honda Navi Modified were also displayed at last month’s IMS Outdoors motorcycle show at OC Fair & Event Center. The two workshops mentioned above were given early access to the platform by the bikemaker to enable potential buyers and fans to see the possibilities that can be achieved.
      MNNTHBX- Race-inspired Navi
      Both aftermarket brands dressed up the miniMoto in their respective manner that gave Navi a more serious look. Starting with the one created by MNNTHBX, the workshop has incorporated a racetrack pit bike theme for its build. In this iteration of Navi, the bike flaunts racy red, white and blue graphics which are complemented by a matte black finish of internals, alloy wheels, handlebar and front forks to lend it a sporty appeal.
      Ergonomics have been revised with a Renthal low-positioned MX-style handlebar while dynamics of the bike have been made sportier with a single shock absorber sourced from Öhlins. Further, it gets a fully custom-built Yoshimura exhaust wrapped in carbon fibre. In order to make it more appealing for Gen Z, MNNTHBX has plonked a full sound system including two 6.5 inch Kicker speakers between the rider’s legs.
      2022 Honda Navi Modified
      Steady Garage- Going Neo-Retro
      Steady Garage, on the other hand, takes a different approach on Navi which appears to take inspiration from Grom and Ruckus- the other two miniMotos in Honda’s portfolio. The biggest highlight is the larger and wider rear tyre which they have barely managed to fit. It has been equipped with a unique custom exhaust with stainless-steel flex pipe and twin outlet tips.
      In this version of a custom Navi, Steady Garage has employed a high-end custom-built mono-shock by Taiwanese company Gears Racing. All these modifications lead to a clean look of the miniMoto. Another interesting feature is the custom-built saddle wrapped in carbon fibre following the lines of the diamond tail. The paintwork on body panels is all custom with the most eye-catching touch being the illuminated pinstriping.
      The LED strips change colours giving Navi the effect of a rolling neon sign. Another unique detail is a retro helmet visor attached to the headlamp. Interested Navi owners can opt for their favourite customization as both MNNTHBX and Steady Garage will offer several of the components used in their projects.
      In addition, Honda Signature Accessories is offering special graphics kits that were developed in a pair of collaborations. Powered by a 109.2cc single-cylinder mill, Honda Navi sold in USA is being exported from India. More

      New Benelli TRK 251 India LaunchApart from KTM 250 Adventure, Benelli TRK 251 will rival the likes of Royal Enfield Himalayan as well
      Benelli has ended the year 2021 with a bang as it has introduced its fifth model this year. After launching a scrambler, two adventure tourers and one cruiser this year, the Italian brand has launched its entry-level adventure bike in the form of TRK 251.
      Offered at a starting price of Rs 2.51 lakh (ex-showroom), the motorcycle is currently the most affordable offering by Benelli in India. At this aggressive price range it directly competes with the KTM 250 ADV, which had a launch price of Rs 2.55 lakh, ex-sh. Price of KTM 250 were recently slashed by Rs 25k, and it now costs Rs 2.3 lakh ex-sh for limited period of time.
      Benelli TRK 251 ADV – Design
      Available in three striking colour options, TRK 251 takes a lot of styling inspirations from its older siblings- TRK 502 and TRK 502X. It gets signature ADV styling elements such as a pointy beak, a large windscreen upfront, a front-heavy quarter fairing, an exposed trellis frame and a sculpted fuel tank.
      Sporty graphics are visible on the front and side fairing and tail section. The wide and tall handlebars aided with centre-set footpegs and an accessible saddle height of 800mm should offer comfortable riding ergonomics.

      The twin-pod LED headlamp along with turn indicators mounted on the side fairings give the motorcycle a distinct appeal. Touring capabilities are enhanced with a luggage mounting rack and pannier boxes as an accessory.
      Other common details include a side-on exhaust and a steep tail section. In terms of features TRK 251 is equipped with a fully digital LCD instrument console that displays a wide range of information such as speed, rpm, fuel level, gear position, time and trip meter. Like most ADVs in India, TRK 251 is a road-biased tourer, hence, it rides on 17-inch front and rear alloy wheels shod with road-purpose tyres.
      Mechanical Specs
      Hardware comprises a steel trellis frame suspended on USD forks up front and a T-swingarm type mono-shock absorber at rear. Braking duties are handled by 280 mm single disc with 4-piston callipers at front and 240mm single disc with a single-piston calliper at rear. Anchorage is aided with a dual-channel ABS as standard.

This engine cranks out 25 bhp at 9,250 rpm and 21.2 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm. This unit is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
