    Image for reference.
    A joint product development and platform sharing between Hero Electric and Mahindra Group will also enable electrification of Peugeot Motorcycles portfolio
    Hero Electric and Mahindra Group have announced a strategic partnership in the electric mobility space. This partnership has been forged as part of Hero Electric’s growth and expansion plans in order to cater to the growing demand for electric vehicles in India.
    As part of this joint venture, Mahindra will manufacture two of the most popular electric scooters from Hero Electric- Optima & NYX to meet the growing demands of the market. These two electric scooters will be manufactured at Mahindra’s Pithampur plant in Madhya Pradesh. This is the same plant where Mahindra manufactures their Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles.
    Hero Electric-Mahindra JV: More details
    This collaboration will also help Hero Electric with the expansion of their existing Ludhiana facility. By expanding its manufacturing facility, Hero intends to meet its demand of manufacturing over 1 million electric two-wheelers per year by 2022. It will further enable them to drive adoption of a cleaner mode of transport.
    Naveen Munjal, MD, Hero Electric, has stated that partnership between the two automotive firms will enhance manufacturing capabilities to meet demand and utilize Mahindra Group’s robust supply chain to reach newer centers in the country. He further revealed that a long-term partnership will also see both the companies make the most out of each other’s deep knowledge of EVs and drive new product development in the next few years.
    Hero Electric Scooters
    The primary purpose of this joint venture will be production and development of a supply chain and sharing of platforms for electric two-wheelers. Though Mahindra currently doesn’t manufacture electric two-wheelers of its own, it supplies and manufactures parts for e-scooters for the French brand Peugeot. The joint development efforts will prove beneficial for Peugeot when it comes to platform sharing.
    Development of EV-related tech for other brands
    Mahindra and Hero Electric will enter into a 5-year contract with a possibility to enhance the areas of collaboration in future. The value of the transaction is expected to stand in the range of Rs 140-150 crores over the contract period.
    The two companies will create a seamless channel of communication to aid knowledge sharing among the R&D teams to build new products and technologies. This will be done keeping the Indian and global markets in mind that will not just further the growth of electric vehicles but also go on to set benchmarks for faster adoption in the industry.
    The partnership between Hero Electric and Mahindra will further help the latter in developing new EV-related technologies which could be further utilised in other Mahindra-owned two-wheeler brands such as Jawa, Yezdi and most importantly BSA. Reports of Classic Legends developing an electric motorcycle under Jawa had surfaced online a few months back. More

      Mahindra owned Classic Legends had bought rights of BSA Motorcycles back in 2016 for around Rs 28 crores and has now re-introduced the BSA Gold Star. This new 650cc motorcycle made its public debut earlier this month at the Motorcycle Live Show in the UK. It has been designed and developed in the UK and will also be launched there first.
      It may be recalled that the BSA Gold Star was originally sold between 1938 and 1963, when it was offered with engine options ranging from 350cc to 500cc. It now comes in retaining some of these old school design elements but with more modern underpinnings and a newly developed 650cc engine.

      BSA Gold Star 650 is positioned on a double cradle frame, sports traditional rounded headlamps with integrated LED DRLs and an LED tail lamp. It also receives wide set handlebars and teardrop shaped fuel tank along with wide fenders, spoked wheels fitted with Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tyres and a single seat setup.
      Chrome accents are seen on its body around its headlamp housing, fuel tank and on the exhaust pipe. The bike gets a twin pod instrument cluster with analogue speedometer and tachometer and an LCD multi-function display. A new TVC set against a dark night backdrop, draws our attention to classic features and engine specifications of this reborn BSA project.

      Some of these designs have also been inspired by the classic Bonneville Twins. BSA Gold Star will receive multiple colour options that will include Insignia Red, Dawn Silver, Midnight Black, Highland Green and Silver Sheen (Legacy Edition).

Suspension and braking is via 41mm telescopic fork in the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear along with single disc at both ends with Brembo calipers and Continental dual channel ABS.
      Classic Legends has not announced any definite plans to launch the new BS Gold Star in India. More recently, the BSA 650cc was also spied on test in India, with a likelihood that the company could produce this motorcycle in India solely for export purpose.
      New BSA Gold Star
      2022 BSA Gold Star 650 will go on sale in the UK first, wherein it will rival the likes of Royal Enfield 650 Twins, Kawasaki W800 and Triumph Street Twin. If launched in India, the new Gold Star will be positioned in a similar segment as the Royal Enfield 650 Twins. More

      This news might bring smiles to the faces of classic motorcycle lovers. In the latest development, Mahindra & Mahindra owned Classic Legends will be reviving one of the iconic motorcycling brands in Britain- BSA Motorcycles. The company’s operations have been defunct since 1972.
      Classic Legends intends to start assembly of BSA Motorcycles in Britain by mid next year. Anand Mahindra, chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra Group, owns 60 percent of stakes at Classic Legends and is reported to be the primary backer of this project.
      Revival of BSA Motorcycles – New Logo Teaser
      Classic Legends will first start by developing a technical and design centre in Banbury, Oxfordshire which will be followed by the commencement of assemblies of new motorcycles at BSA’s facility in Midlands. The spotting of BSA motorcycle test mule in Pune, suggests that the new range of motorcycles may have already been developed by Classic Legends in India.
      BSA Motorcycles have launched their new social media handles, where they have announced their comeback, and even shared new logo. Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Rakesh for sharing the update. Take a look at the teaser below.

      — BSA Motorcycles Official (@bsamotorcycles_) November 24, 2021

      Government of UK has already awarded a grant of £4.6 million (or INR 45.2 crore) to Classic Legends which is nearly half the money required to set up an R&D centre at Banbury, near Coventry. This will also provide 255 new job opportunities. This facility will be utilised exclusively to develop bikes with electric powertrains, first of which is expected to undergo production later next year.
      Legacy of BSA motorcycles
      BSA which stood for Birmingham Small Arms was originally founded in 1861 as an arms manufacturing unit at Small Heath in Birmingham. The setting of Small Heath has been aptly showcased in the popular BBC Network show ‘Peaky Blinders’.
      The company started producing motorcycles in the year 1910 and had a decent run until the mid-1960s. Things started to fall apart when Japanese manufacturers entered the market and BSA eventually had to shut down its entire operation in 1972.

      Other Details To Look Out For
      Apart from the incentive by British Government, the other reason for Mahindra to revive BSA Motorcycles in the UK is to maintain the brand’s legacy. The project is being handled by Anupam Thareja, co-founder of Mahindra’s Classic Legends subsidiary. It will be interesting to see what powertrains and platforms Classic Legends use in the new BSA bikes. Currently, the company has two single-cylinder motors- a 293cc and a 334cc unit which it employs on Jawa motorcycles. The same team is also getting ready to revive Yezdi brand.
      It is to be noted that Mahindra brought the controlling stake of both Jawa and BSA Motorcycles around the same time in 2016. The proposed new bikes under the revived BSA brand will cost between £5,000 and £10,000 (Rs 4.9 to 9.8 lakh) in the UK. The first BSA motorcycles are expected to be in the 650cc segment, taking on the Royal Enfield Twins range. More

      Mahindra Mojo Aero Tested, Bolt-On Adv Body Kit By Autologue Design

      by

      Mahindra Mojo ADV Kit by Autologue DesignMahindra Mojo doesn’t have a direct rival in the market but competes against the likes of Bajaj Dominar and Jawa
      Of all the touring bikes currently on sale in the market, Mahindra Mojo seems the most underrated. Clearly, it had to bear the brunt of poor marketing and substandard sales and service network of the company’s two-wheeler division that never really took off. Despite that Mojo has been able to create a small niche consumer base for itself even in such a competitive environment.
      At first glance, one has to admit that Mojo is able to grab all of his/her attention thanks to its unique design. The twin round halogen headlamps setup with an oddly shaped headlamp cowl gives it a quirky styling. Yet it possesses all basic qualities of a good touring machine.
      Mahindra Mojo ADV Kit by Autologue Design
      Updated Design
      Autologue Design, a Pune-based, aftermarket customisation workshop has developed a new body kit specifically for Mojo that turns it into an adventure motorcycle, at least on its look side.
      Dubbed Mahindra Mojo Explorer, the motorcycle wears a new aftermarket body kit over its stock body panels. In its new attire, Mojo Explorer looks a proper adventure tourer with a redesigned fuel tank, a tinted front screen to keep away the wind burst and a traditional beak as seen in most contemporary.
      Mahindra Mojo ADV Kit by Autologue Design
      Handlebar is taller for a better reach while tyres wrapped around 17-inch alloy wheels also seem to be dual-purpose ones. The Mahindra insignia is still intact beneath the fuel tank.

      However, hardware components such as the front forks, subframe and swingarm which are wrapped in golden paint in Touring Edition have been blacked out like the rest of the components. Therefore underneath it is the same motorcycle as the stock model.
      Specifications & Features
      In its BS6 iteration, Mahindra Mojo is powered by a 294.72cc single-cylinder, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled motor that churns out 25.37 bhp and a torque of 25.96 Nm. This unit is paired to a six-speed gearbox.
      Mahindra Mojo ADV Kit by Autologue Design
      Hardware of the bike consists of a Twin Tube Exposed frame suspended on conventional telescopic forks at front and a gas-charged mono-shock at rear. Disc brakes at both ends with 320mm and 240mm rotors at front and rear respectively carry out stopping duties.
      [embedded content]
      In terms of features, it is offered with a semi-digital instrument console with digital readings for odometer, speedometer, tachometer and trip meter. Lighting setup comprises twin-pod halogen headlamps, LED DRLs and LED taillamp. Safety net is provided by a dual-channel ABS as standard. It is currently priced between Rs 1.99 lakh and Rs 2.11 lakh (ex-showroom, India). More

      2020 Mahindra Mojo 300 BS6 prices hiked by Rs 11k – Select colours

      by

      The base Black Pearl shade of the BS6 Mahindra Mojo 300 DOES NOT receive any price revision
      It was only recently that Mahindra Two Wheelers launched the BS6-compliant 2020MY version of its flagship touring motorcycle, Mojo 300. Ex-showroom prices start at roughly Rs 2 lakh or Rs 5,000 more than its phased-out BS4 ‘dual-channel ABS’ counterpart. One could argue that the Indian automaker is a bit late to the party since India’s 250-350cc motorcycle segment has got some compelling alternatives at competitive prices.

      Apart from becoming ‘cleaner’ and receiving new colours, the 2020MY Mahindra Mojo BS6 remains nearly identical to its predecessor. There are four colour options: Black Pearl, Red Agate, Ruby Red and Garnet Black. The very first booking took place in Pune last month and deliveries are expected to start by mid-September.
      In the meantime, the company has announced a price hike. While the base Black Pearl option does not get any price revision, Red Agate and Ruby Red shades have become costlier by Rs 11,000. Garnet Black costs Rs 6,000 more than before. Hence, ex-showroom prices of the updated Mahindra Mojo 300 BS6 now range from Rs 2.00-2.11 lakh.

      As mentioned before, the touring motorcycle sports minimal changes over its BS4 avatar. Notable details include twin-pod headlamp setup, exposed ‘twin tube frame’, 21-litre fuel tank, LED tail lamp, 320mm front petal disc brake (regular 240mm unit at the back), 5-spoke alloy wheels, blacked-out theme, engine cowl, semi-digital instrument console, etc. It has several shortcomings compared to other players in the segment. At the moment, KTM India’s 390 Adventure offers the highest value in terms of performance and equipment.
      The Mojo 300 commands a ground clearance of 165mm and weighs about 186kg (wet). It rides on 110/70R17 and 140/70R17 tyres at the front and rear, respectively. To aid its touring traits, the front suspension boasts of 143mm travel. This drops down to 135mm for the rear monoshock.
      The Mahindra Mojo originally debuted with LED DRLs, dual exhausts, Pirelli tyres, USD forks, etc. — later under ‘XT300’ moniker. The current version appears to be an updated ‘UT300’ variant. Primary rivals include the KTM 250 Duke, BMW G 310 GS (BS6 update on the way), Bajaj Dominar 250, Royal Enfield Himalayan, etc.
      Engine & specs
      Powering the 2020MY Mahindra Mojo 300 is a BS6-compliant 294.72cc liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder engine. It churns out 25.35bhp @ 7,300rpm and 25.96Nm @ 6,000rpm while mated to a 6-speed transmission (no slipper clutch). In BS4 format, the power plant made 26.6bhp @ 7,500rpm and 28Nm @ 5,500rpm. More
