    Jawa Motorcycles Alloy Wheels Option Launch Soon – Spied On Test

    Jawa Alloys
    Classic Legends currently manufactures and retails three Jawa motorcycles in India- Jawa, Forty Two and Perak

    Classic Legends has been testing its retro-styled classic motorcycle Jawa Forty Two with a pair of new alloy wheels. Currently, the bike is offered with wire-spoked wheels which are enveloped by tube tyres. The new setup might make use of tubeless tyres that are easier to repair in case of a puncture.
    Changes spotted on Jawa Forty Two
    It might also offer a better grip and riding experience on the road. There are no apparent changes made to the motorcycle except for the addition of a single-piece grab rail and a short flyscreen although it is yet to be seen whether these are offered as standard or as optional add-on accessories.
    Also, the manufacturer seems to have done away with some chrome elements that have been replaced by blacked-out components such as its front and rear suspension setup, exhaust pipe and black headlamp bezel as well as indicator housings.
    Stitching on the seat also seems to be different. One might expect Jawa to also improve its seat quality since many consumers have complained about Forty Two’s seat size and quality especially for the pillion.
    Current Jawa with wire-spoke wheel
    Powertrain Specs
    If one takes a closer peek, they can spot a little reservoir where its rear suspension is mounted onto the bike’s frame. Apart from these, there are no other noticeable changes made on Forty Two. In all probability, it is also likely to retain the same powertrain. In its BS6 avatar, it is powered by a 293cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that churns out 27 bhp and 27.05 Nm of peak torque. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox. It retailed in two variants- single-channel ABS and dual-channel ABS.
    The test mule seen on the latest set of spy shots is most probably the dual-channel ABS derivative. It is currently offered at a price bracket of Rs 1.65 lakh to Rs 1.74 lakh (both prices are ex-showroom).
    While details on the updated classic roadster are still very thin, we can expect this tyre setup to also find its way to other Jawa offerings such as Jawa Classic and Perak. Expect this new update Forty Two to make its debut in a few weeks time.
    Jawa Forty Two Rivals
    Competition in the retro motorcycle has been intensified ever since the launch of Honda H’Ness CB350 and Royal Enfield Meteor 350 late last year. While the former is a naked commuter roadster, the latter is sort of a cruiser.
    Both motorcycles are powered by 350cc single-cylinder motors and are paired to a five-speed gearbox. While CB350 kicks out 21 bhp and 30 Nm of peak torque, the engine on Meteor 350 produces 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque.

    Sondors Electric Motorcycle Called Metacycle Debuts – 130 Kms Range

    Sondors Electric Motorcycle
    Pre-orders open on the Sondors’ website with shipments set to commence towards the end of this year

    Sondors, an e-bike maker with several bikes and mopeds in its company lineup, has added a new electric motorcycle called Metacycle. Priced at $5,000 (Rs.3.66 lakhs), this highly affordable electric motorcycle offers an 80 miles (130 kms) range.
    Sondors Electric Motorcycle is equipped with a 4000 watt hour 72 volt battery. The battery can be charged via a 110 volt wall outlet in a matter of 4 hours with the motor capable of 20 hp and 8 kW thrust with a top speed of 80 mph.
    Design and Features
    The new electric Metaycle from Sondors is designed for urban use and to take on congested city streets and highways. It weighs 91 kgs and is constructed out of lightweight aluminum with a cast eco-frame with sleek, narrow profile. Its features include LED lighting for head and tail lamps and swappable batteries.
    The electric bike also gets turn signals in the front incorporated into the sides of the halo headlamp. A single seat, wide set handlebars, rear view mirrors and large tyres are also a part of the features seen on the new Metacycle.
    Sondors Electric Motorcycle
    Another striking feature is a built in wireless charger for a smartphone located under a translucent panel where the fuel tank of a regular bike is generally positioned. It also gets a large display integrated into the frame making it easy for the rider to access information such as speed or battery level.
    Braking and suspension is via inverted fork suspension in the front and hydraulic brakes from Brembo subsidiary Bybre. It comes in at a relatively much cheaper price tag of $5,000. Expect deliveries to commence from October 2021.
    E-scooter Brands in India
    There is no indication of the Sondors Metacycle ever coming to India where there are eScooter brands such as Okinawa, Hero Electric, Ather and Ampere gaining ground in this segment. A surge in initiatives into the EV arena being introduced by the Government of India has also seen increased sales while improvement in charging infrastructure and benefits to automakers will surely take this segment to greater heights.
    The notion however of cheaper electric vehicles could be a flawed one. This expectation in large way thwarts the research and development process, and market maturity should be a longterm focus. The choice of electric vehicles should be one made to compact dependency on fuel, and the dream of a cleaner environment. But a lot of this is sidetracked in favour of an inherent expectation of an electric vehicle that’s cheaper. More

    Royal Enfield Classic Modified Bike Ambulance – Developed By CRPF, DRDO

    Royal Enfield Bike Ambulance
    The motorcycle is developed following the urgent need to get to casualties through narrow roads especially in Naxalite zones

    A special bike ambulance has been developed by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) to attend to urgent evacuation needs of security personnel in the event of a medical emergency or battle injury.
    This new bike ambulance, is based on the Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycles. It is called ‘Rakshita’ and have been successfully launched in Delhi today, on Monday 18th January 2021.
    Royal Enfield Modified As Rakshita Ambulance
    These modified Royal Enfield motorcycles consist of a single seat for the rider and a reclining seat with straps at the rear for the patient. The patient can be either in a sitting or sleeping position depending on the injury. It also includes a stretcher with wheels and emergency medical facilities such as neck brace and an oxygen cylinder.
    Ambulance siren is also a part of its features along with three beacons, two of which are fitted in the front and one at the rear with a GPS enabled tablet. The bike ambulance can tackle the most challenging of road conditions and get the injured to the nearest hospital or to be airlifted by a helicopter for emergency treatment.
    Royal Enfield based Rakshita Ambulance
    Rakshita ambulances are particularly useful in Naxalite and Maoist affected areas where the roads are so narrow that no regular ambulance can be accommodated. Security personnel in these areas are in constant danger of encounters, attacks and injuries and deaths are commonplace
    Particularly in the regions of Bijapur, Sukma, Dantewada etc. It was found that due to these constraints of narrow roads, medical assistance was delayed thus making the situation even more critical.
    Bike Ambulances from Hero MotoCorp
    Earlier in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic first struck, Hero MotoCorp also donated 60 mobile ambulances to the Government of India to reach out to patients in rural and remote areas so as to get them to the nearest hospitals on time.
    Royal Enfield based Rakshita Ambulance helping a security personnel
    These were custom built motorcycles with engine capacity of 150cc and above. Hero MotoCorp fitted these bike ambulances with sleeping arrangements for the patient and essential medical equipment such as first aid kit, oxygen cylinder, fire extinguisher and siren.
    Nationwide, the importance of motorcycles extends well beyond just being daily commuter vehicles. Companies have in recent times as part of their CSR activity offered bikes for patrolling purposes in feasible areas.
    Fleet of Royal Enfield based Rakshita Ambulances
    In other areas, motorcycles function as carriers for medical emergency. yet in other locales, bikes function as recce vehicles for fire incidents. This functionality is undisputed in urban areas where lanes are narrow, and underdeveloped areas where roads don’t exist. As such motorcycles have often been primed to make inroads where other vehicles are unable to pass through.

    Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter Spied Up Close – Chetak, Ather Rival

    Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter
    Suzuki is expected to launch an electric scooter with the Burgman moniker sometime later this year

    With a rise in electric mobility solutions, many manufacturers are looking to introduce electric offerings in the near future especially in the two-wheeler segment. Plus with stricter emission norms in place, electric powertrains make good sense to bring down harmful pollutants in the air.
    Over recent past, many new electric scooters have been launched or revealed in India and many other manufacturers are planning to introduce such models in coming future. One of them is Suzuki which is planning to bring an electrified version of its power scooter Burgman.
    Latest Spy Shots
    Two prototypes of the electric scooter were recently spotted testing again in Delhi-NCR. Like in previous instances, the biggest highlight from the images is the absence of an exhaust canister which is clearly visible.
    The electric scooter is very similar to Burgman Street in terms of its design. Both test mules sported the same white and blue dual-tone paint scheme as in previous sightings.
    Suzuki Burgman Electric
    Suzuki had first revealed its intentions of developing an electric scooter for the Indian market back in 2018. However, at the time it wasn’t known that the Japanese manufacturer will be branding it as Burgman. Although tagging it as Burgman does seem a sensible decision since Suzuki’s first electric scooter will be expensive and it needs a strong donor with attractive styling and features to justify its price.
    Design & Features
    Speaking of its styling, it carries forward the maxi-style design of its petrol counterpart. It sports a white-blue paint scheme with blue highlights on the lower parts of the side panel and near handlebars.
    It also features dual shock absorbers now in order to handle the extra weight from the lithium-ion battery packs. Although it does feature standard telescopic forks at front and alloy wheels which are carried from the regular model.
    Suzuki Burgman Electric
    Apart from this, Suzuki is also set to offer all features which come on Burgman Street as standard on the electric scooter. These include an LED headlamp, LED taillights, a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth as well as smartphone connectivity. A couple of months ago, Suzuki released the latest version of Suzuki Connect which now offers features such as Whatsapp alerts, SMS and CALL alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, charging status, riding status, etc.
    Expected Specifications
    Details of its powertrain are yet to be disclosed although one could expect Suzuki to offer a battery pack of 3-4 kWh and paired to a motor generating 5-6 kW of power. Its single-charge range would be around 80-90 km while it can attain a clock speed of around 80 kmph. It is expected to be offered at a price of over 1 lakh (ex-showroom). Upon its launch, it will compete against the likes of TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Ather 450X.
