      Okinawa Electric Scooter Sales In 2021 Records 1 Lakh Milestone

      by

      Okinawa Electric Scooter SalesOkinawa reports sales milestone of over 1,00,000 units in India in 2021 largely attributed to the family e-scooter success
      Okinawa has attained yet another milestone in its exciting journey as a new and leading electric vehicle brand in India. The company reports that sales have surpassed the 1,00,000 units milestone in India. This includes high-speed and low-speed models that Okinawa sells.
      Through 2021, Okinawa sales has been dominated by iPraise+ and Praise Pro electric scooter. Sales momentum has been helped largely by the locally manufactured iPraise+ and Praise Pro. They accounted for about 60 – 70 per cent share of yearly sales.
      Okinawa dealer network
      In order to improve its footprint and reach out to more and more buyers, Okinawa has focused on increasing its dealership network. This helps meet growing demand for its family e-scooters. Current dealership count stands at 400+ points spread across metro cities, Tier 2, Tier 3 cities, and rural markets.
      Okinawa Galaxy experience centre in Uttarakhand lets customers know more. In order to let customers better understand design and high-tech capabilities of its products, 50 more Okinawa Galaxy Stores will be inaugurated through the country in 2022.
      Okinawa Electric Scooter Sales In 2021
      Total investment through the next three years is earmarked at Rs 500 crore. Through Phase I, Rs 250 crore is to be invested. Gradually, investment will be increased over the coming years. Okinawa operates its own assembly line for motors and controls. Localisation is set to reach 100 per cent with the exception of battery cells. These units will continue to be imported. Okinawa is geared up to launch its new ‘High Speed Electric Scooter’ in Q1 2022.
      Okinawa riding experience
      In recent years, understanding of electric two-wheelers has gained mainstream attention. Better understanding has raised awareness around such products, and as a result purchases have improved. With companies reporting improved sales, manufacturers are taking the bull by its horns. R&D investments have improved, and the number of launches each year continues to increase.
      Stakeholder investments too have improved on the back of positivity. In a market that is still small by volume, Okinawa has been met with success when it comes to mass penetration of e2Ws in India. Through months of difficulty brought on by Covid19 pandemic, Okinawa is reputed as the second most selling E2W in India.
      Jeetender Sharma, MD and Founder of Okinawa Autotech, remarked of the milestone achievement, “We are glad and appreciative to those who expressed their belief in Okinawa and therefore helped us achieve this milestone. With our dynamic product selection and unique riding experiences, Okinawa has set new milestones in the mass penetration of Electric Two-Wheelers in India since its beginning.
      We’ve had only one strategy from the start: raise awareness and debunk all kinds of myths around EVs. We will continue to cater to the requirements of the purists, while also fulfilling the aspirations of a new base of the youth who have a very different approach with two-wheelers. We remain committed in our endeavour to serve our consumers with exciting new launches and curated experiences.” More

      by

      Royal Enfield 650 Modified By STG TrackerOther than 650cc Twins from Royal Enfield, no other motorcycle was able to touch four or even three-figure sales mark in November 2021
      Popularity of premium motorcycles has seen a rise over the last few years. However, the recent crisis courtesy of semiconductor chip shortages has put a dent in their sales figures in recent months. A total of 2,491 motorcycles from this segment with engine displacement above 500cc were sold across the country in November 2021.
      In comparison, during the same period last year, a total of 1,364 bikes from this category were sold which has translated to YoY growth of 82.62 percent. The top spot was taken by the 650cc Twins from Royal Enfield- Interceptor and Continental GT. Both motorcycles combined to generate a monthly volume of 2,154 units.

      The 650 Twins accounted for a whopping 86.47 percent of market share in this segment. A total of 1,109 units of 650 Twins were sold in November last year which led to YoY growth of 94.23 percent. The second spot was occupied by Kawasaki Z900 which recorded a monthly volume of 49 units last month as opposed to 59 units sold in November last year. This led to a YoY degrowth of 17 percent.
      Triumph Garners Decent Volume
      The third spot was taken by Triumph Trident with 32 units dispatched across the country last month. Trident, which was launched earlier this year, is currently the most affordable offering by the iconic British brand in India. Kawasaki sold 31 units of Ninja 650 in November this year as opposed to 21 units sold during the same period last year. This translates to YoY growth of 47.62 percent.

      Flagship high-speed sports bikes such as Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, Ninja 1000 and Suzuki Hayabusa also made their presence felt with 18 units, 15 units and 17 units sold respectively last month. The adventure tourer range of Kawasaki- Versys, made it to the list with 1000cc and 650cc iterations. Both motorcycles accounted for respective volumes of 12 units and 11 units last month.
      This led to YoY growth of 71.43 percent and a YoY decline of 47.62 percent. Versys 650 was immediately followed by its nearest rival in the form of Suzuki V-Strom 650 at the twelfth spot. The Japanese bikemaker was able to sell only 10 units of the adventure tourer which translated to 16.67 percent.

      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150cc Adventure Motorcycle Debuts

      by

      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 Adv Motorcycle LaunchedInternationally, Yamaha Crosser 150 will serve as a perfect rival to the recently launched Honda CB150X
      After Honda, it’s time for its Japanese counterpart Yamaha to set foot in the entry-level adventure motorcycle space. Yamaha has launched Crosser 150 ABS in Brazil which will serve as the brand’s entry-level offering in the ADV segment. Prices start at R$ 15,590 (approx. INR 2.09 lakh).
      The motorcycle will be available in two variants- 150S and 150Z, the latter being priced at R$ 15,790 (approx. INR 2.12 lakh). It is offered with four colour options-Black Eclipse, Sports White, Competition Blue and Dakar Sand. Design of the Crosser 150 is in line with contemporary adventure bikes.
      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 – Design
      Crosser 150 features signature ADV highlights such as a tall stance and a rugged appearance with minimalistic body panels. The Z variant feels slightly more rugged thanks to a longer beak upfront and fork gaiters. However, both variants make use of a small headlamp and a tiny flyscreen, a slight departure from contemporary ADVs.
      Other highlights include fuel tank extensions with air scoops, arrowhead-shaped mirrors, and a side-mounted high-slung exhaust. A tall handlebar, with a high saddle and ground clearance, are other notable mentions when it comes to the styling of Crosser 150. Crosser 150 also receives a luggage mounting rack at rear which enhances its touring credentials.
      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 Adv Motorcycle Launched
      Features & Dynamics
      In terms of features, the bike is pretty basic with its semi-digital instrument console being the biggest highlight. Illumination of the motorcycle is taken care of by modest bulb-type lighting. Crosser 150 rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels which are shod with dual-purpose Metzeler Tourance tyres. These units are said to provide excellent grip while treading into off-road surfaces.
      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 Adv Motorcycle Launched
      While the suspension setup features simple telescopic forks upfront and a mono-shock at rear, there is plenty of travel on offer for undulated surfaces at both ends. Braking is carried out by a single disc brake at each wheel aided by ABS to avoid skidding while stopping aggressively.
      Powertrain Specs
      Powering Crosser 150 is a 149cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that kicks out 12.2 bhp of power and 12.74 Nm of peak torque. This unit is paired with a five-speed gearbox. The best thing about this motor is that it can run on multiple types of fuel such as petrol, ethanol or both, which improves fuel efficiency.
      2022 Yamaha Crosser 150 Adv Motorcycle Launched
      Considering its overall package, Crosser 150 could actually be a very good proposition in the Indian mass market if priced right. However, Yamaha isn’t likely to launch this entry-level ADV tourer to our shores anytime soon. But given the rise in popularity of adventure tourers in India in recent years, Yamaha would want to tap into this segment at some point in the future. More

      Ola Electric Scooter True Range 135 Kms – How To Achieve In Real World

      by

      Image – Bhavish Aggarwal
      Ola Electric has revealed the true range for the S1 Pro e-scooter which stands at 135km on a single charge
      The electric scooters from Ola generated a frenzy in the online world and continue to garner interest even four months after their unveiling due to various reasons. While electric vehicles are mobility solutions for the future, hesitancy in their acceptance remains even now. The primary reason behind this is range anxiety among the masses.
      People are still concerned about the distance an EV can travel on a single charge. Ola offers a claimed range of 181 kms on S1 Pro e-scooter which sounds impressive on paper. However, expecting this range in a real-world scenario would be unreasonable and the Bengaluru-based EV startup has now come up with an explanation for it.
      The company has said that the ARAI-certified range of 181 kms has been attained when tested under a controlled lab environment. However, such a condition would be vastly different when driving in a real-world scenario. Ola has also shared the true range of S1 Pro which stands at 135 kms on a single charge.
      Ola Electric Scooter Range In Real World
      Automotive enthusiast Anish Deshpande asked Ola about the true range of their electric scooter in real world conditions. To this, Ola Electric scooter support team has replied with specific details.
      Conditions under which you can achieve the True Range of 135 kms from Ola electric scooter S1 Pro in real world
      The EV maker has laid out a set of conditions for buyers to achieve this range. For starters, the 135 kms range can be achieved when only there is only the rider and no pillion. Weight of the rider has been considered 70 kgs with no other load being carried on the scooter. For city driving conditions, a maximum 3-5 percent incline has been taken into account.
      The entire duration of the ride has to be covered in the Normal ride mode with a moderate riding style. Even weather conditions have been pre-defined between 24 and 35-degree celsius. Implementation of all these conditions should provide the said 135 kms range. With deliveries commencing recently, it will be interesting to hear from buyers in this regard.
      Ola Electric recently started shipment of the first batch of its e-scooters across the country after several delays. There are two variants of the electric scooter on sale- S1 and S1 Pro, priced at Rs 1.0 lakh and Rs 1.30 lakh (both prices ex-show) respectively. Both variants of the scooter are powered by an 8.5kW electric motor with a continuous output of 5.5 kW.
      Battery Specs
      That said, S1 Pro features a larger battery pack of 3.97 kWh whereas S1 gets a smaller battery pack of 2.98 kWh. There has been no approval of a true range in S1, however, previous claims of an ARAI-rated range has been pegged at 121 kms. The true range of the base S1 trim will also be exciting to see in the coming future. More

      2022 Tork Electric Motorcycle Production Spec Spied Testing

      by

      2022 Tork Electric MotorcycleBharat Forge owns as much as 49 percent stake in Pune based EV maker Tork Motors
      Several new comers are marking their entry into the electric scooter segment. Ola launched the Ola S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters in India at Rs 99,999 and Rs 1,29,999 respectively. Bengaluru-based Simple Energy also unveiled its e-scooter at Rs.1,09,999. In addition to this, there are many electric scooters on offer from leading brands in the space like Hero Electric, Okinawa, Ampere, Ather etc. Bajaj and TVS also have an offering each in this space.
      Auto component manufacturer, Bharat Forge also entered this space recently, for which it has tied up with Tork Motors. The latter is a Pune-based EV manufacturer. Tork Motors has its own T6X, India’s first performance electric motorcycle, scheduled for launch in India in early 2022. Ahead of that, its production-spec variant has now been spied on test.
      Tork T6X electric motorcycle
      This electric motorcycle which has been under development for the past 7 years, it will come in with state of the art features and updated technology. It will launch in India in sometime next year and will be powered via lithium ion batteries. It is likely to offer a top speed of 100 km/h and a range of 100 kms on a single charge. Quick charging option could also be on offer.
      Tork Motors has also recently met with FAME II regulations which means that the upcoming products will stand to gain from these subsidies offered by the Government of India. Their customers will also take advantage of benefits being presented on electric vehicles by various State Governments.
      2022 Tork Electric Motorcycle
      Electric 2 and 3 wheeler market
      Bharat Forge seeks a 5-6 percent market share in this electric two and three wheeler segment along with electric trucks and buses, by 2025 along with Kalyani Powertrain (KPTL). KPTL is also in talks with vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators in respect to its e-mobility platform.
      The company seeks to supply sub-system, complete electric motors and light weight structural components and has also lowered capital expenditure guidance from an earlier Rs 300 crores announced in June 2021 to Rs 200-250 crores for FY22.
      Apart from partnering with Bharat Forge, Tork is also seeking an alliance with three wheeler makers for the supply of electric powertrains. This space is currently commanded by the likes of Mahindra, Piaggio and Atul Auto while automakers Bajaj Auto and TVS Motors are also set to enter the fray.
      Bharat Force also has a 50:50 investment with Refu Electronik GmbH of Germany for developing, manufacturing and selling on-board controllers and components used in the manufacture of hybrid and electric vehicles. Bharat Forge also used to controls a 35 percent stake in UK based Tevva Motors for development of powertrain solutions for commercial vehicles but has since exited from this alliance.

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Recalled Over Braking Issue – 26k Units Affected

      by

      Image for reference. Credit – An ExplorerRoyal Enfield today announced a recall of 26,300 units of Classic 350 motorcycles made between 1st Sep 2021 and 5th Dec 2021
      A few days after the roll-out of 100,000th unit of the new gen 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycle, the company has now announced a recall. The 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Recall has affected 26,300 motorcycles which were made between Sep and Dec this year.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 2021 Recall
      As per Royal Enfield, their technical team has discovered a potential issue in one of the parts – the brake reaction bracket attached to the motorcycle swing arm – used specifically on the 2021 single-channel ABS and rear drum brake Classic 350 motorcycles.
      They further add – Under specific riding conditions, it was discovered that exceptionally higher braking load applied on the rear brake pedal could lead to potential damage of the reaction bracket, which could further lead to unusual braking noise, and potential deterioration of braking efficiency in extreme conditions.
      The issue has only been found in Classic 350 motorcycles with rear drum brake and single channel ABS. All other motorcycle variants are not affected by this issue and are not part of the latest Royal Enfield recall.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 350
      Affected Owners
      Over the next few days, Royal Enfield and their dealerships will start contact owners of the motorcycles which are part of this recall. These owners will have to bring in their motorcycle to the dealership, where Royal Enfield will “reinforce the brake reaction bracket of the swing arm for all units.”
      Proactively, owners of Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycles can also check if their vehicle is part of this recall by checking with local dealers / workshops or by calling RE customer care. You can also check the same by visiting Royal Enfield website.
      Earlier Royal Enfield Recall
      This is not the first time Royal Enfield is recalling vehicles in 2021. Earlier in May this year, Royal Enfield had announced a recall which had affected over 2.3 lakh motorcycles. In that recall, it was the Bullet, Classic (old-gen) and Meteor that were affected. That recall was due to manufacturing defect in ignition coil.
      Speaking about the recalls, Royal Enfield says – “At Royal Enfield, we have robust and rigorous testing and development protocols, and adhere to global validation standards of quality and durability. However, issues like this can arise under specific, extreme riding conditions, and we are committed to resolving this at the soonest, with minimum inconvenience for our customers.” More

      2022 Jawa Cruiser 350 Render Based On New Spy Shots – 5 Colours

      by

      2022 Jawa Cruiser 350 – RenderUpon its launch, the Jawa cruiser will directly lock horns with Royal Enfield Meteor 350
      Classic Legends has its hands full as the company is currently at war footing to revive two iconic brands BSA and Yezdi. At the same time, the bikemaker is also focussing on expanding its lineup under the Jawa brand. The next big launch from the Jawa portfolio is expected to be a cruiser.
      This cruiser has been spotted on multiple occasions in recent months and it has now been digitally rendered by design artist Pratyush Rout. The motorcycle is expected to share its underpinnings with Perak which is a bobber-style cruiser. However, the upcoming bike shown in the images below represents a more conventional cruiser.
      2022 Jawa Cruiser 350 – Rendered Design
      The illustration shown has been created on basis of the spy shots which have emerged online recently. As usual, Classic Legends have adopted a retro styling for the cruiser with highlights such as a round headlamp, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and circular rearview mirrors. In line with the spied test mules, the bike in this digital illustration gets broad rear fenders.
      Other styling highlights such as round taillamp and turn indicators, fork gaiters and split-style seats give the motorcycle a modern classic appeal. The design artist has incorporated some special touches in order to lend the cruiser a distinct identity. For starters, the fuel tank flaunts the signature Jawa insignia with a 3D emblem. The side toolbox panel features three stripes and a ‘350’ numerical signifying its engine size.
      2022 Jawa Cruiser 350 – Render
      While fuel tank and side panel have been painted deep red, rest of the parts including mechanical components, running gear and exhaust have dipped in black colour which ensures a sporty dual-tone theme. Unlike the current Jawa models, the upcoming cruiser will only get a single exhaust pipe.
      Comfortable Ergonomics
      Although it is unlikely to be a proper conventional cruiser, it is deemed to offer comfortable riding ergonomics thanks to a tall and wide handlebar, a low saddle and centre-set footpegs. The bike is seen standing on black multi-spoke alloy wheels of different sizes. The rear tyre seems fatter than the front which should aid long-distance cruising.
      The thick padding of foam under the seat should further enhance riding pleasure. Since ride comfort is an optimum priority in this class of motorcycles, the Jawa cruiser is expected to be softly sprung. Suspension duties are expected to be handled by conventional telescopic forks at front and dual shock absorbers at rear. Braking duties will be taken care of by single disc brakes at both ends aided by dual-channel ABS.
      Expected Powertrain Specs
      The upcoming Jawa cruiser is expected to be powered by a 334cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, DOHC engine. This unit also propels Perak and pushes out 30 bhp and 32.74 Nm of peak torque in the bobber. The motor will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper and assist clutch. More
