      Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter Patent Leaks – Gets Chain Drive

      by

      Launch of the upcoming Suzuki Burgman electric scooter is still a couple of years awaySuzuki Burgman Electric Scooter Patent LeaksIt has already been established that Suzuki is working on an electric scooter specifically for the Indian market. Based on Burgman Street 125, this upcoming e-scooter has been spotted testing on Indian roads on multiple occasions. Spy shots suggest that design of the electric scooter is similar to that of its petrol-powered counterpart.Earlier in April this year, it was reported that development of the Burgman electric scooter had been delayed by two years. According to Suzuki officials, development time of the upcoming electric scooter has been extended thanks to high ambient temperatures in our country.Suzuki Burgman Electric Patents LeakedIn recent times, there have been many mishaps related to electric two-wheelers across the country due to high temperatures during the summer. Hence, Suzuki has decided to take some extra time to failsafe their technology. Meanwhile, a new patent drawing of the upcoming electric scooter has been leaked online. The latest patent image reveals a few significant variations in comparison to the previous patent leaked some months ago.As per the latest patent drawing, the electric scooter is built around the same frame as the petrol-powered Burgman Street 125. However, this time it features a chain drive system which is unusual for an electric two-wheeler. This chain drive comes out of an AC motor placed far forward on the frame under the seat to drive the rear wheel.Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter Patent LeaksAdvantages of chain drive over belt driveA chain drive system has many advantages over a belt drive setup. For instance, the belt drive setup offers a transmission efficiency of 91-94 percent whereas in case of a conventional chain drive it stands at 97-98 percent. Moreover, a belt drive setup is more expensive than a chain drive unit. Also, chain drive is more rugged and adept in tackling harsh Indian conditions like monsoon, bad roads, etc.Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter Patent LeaksAs a belt always needs to be in a tight position, it will keep the motor, wheel axles and ball bearings under load all the time. On the other hand, a chain drive is always designed with a slack and can transmit power even under extreme slack. Only disadvantage of a chain drive system over a belt drive setup is the constant maintenance the former warrants.Other HighlightsFurther, an AC-DC inverter has been placed smartly underneath the floorboard that converts the battery’s DC output to AC for the motor. A DC-AC converter is mounted on the side of the battery pack to step the voltage down. Suzuki has made use of a fixed battery pack instead of a removable unit. This comes as a surprise, since Suzuki has formed a consortium with other Japanese brands to develop swappable battery technology.The battery looks big enough and should offer more range on a full charge in comparison to a similarly rated removable battery. One major downside is that the battery pack may eat a large chunk of the boot under-seat storage which might affect its practicality. More

      Husqvarna India Sales May 2022 At 0 Units – Vitpilen, Svartpilen

      by

      Husqvarna India domestic sales in May 2022 comes to a standstill: exports fall to less than half2022 Husqvarna Svartpilen 250. Image – Dev MTR.Bajaj Auto introduced Husqvarna India in 2019. And the group is poised to work along the footsteps of KTM here. Another business unit championed by Bajaj. As part of its pro-biking initiatives, Husqvarna sales estimates have been met with initial challenges in India. This is largely owing to market disruption sowing to Covid-19 lockdowns through 2020 and 2021.Henric Andersson, CEO comments: “The strong demand from the previous record year continues, but the challenging global supply chain situation is affecting us particularly in the latter part of the first quarter. However, the gardening season is ahead of us, we have a record order backlog and we are taking decisive mitigating measures in order to increase production throughout the season”.Husqvarna India Sales May 2022Husqvarna India domestic sales have been below a bare minimum for April and May 2022. In April, the company reported 5 units in sales. In May, that number was down to naught. A year earlier, the output was naturally starved owing to limitations in place to curb the spread of Covid-19.Correspondingly, exports too were on a decline. YoY May 2022 Husqvarna exports are reported at 776 units having halved from 1,610 units. Volume loss stood at 834 units. 401 exports led at 608 units. MoM exports fell from 762 units. 126 units of 125 were exported, and 42 of 250. 125 exports fell from 420 units. 250 exports fell from 211 units. 200 exports fell to naught from 217 units.Husqvarna India Sales May 2022Husqvarna 250 Twins priceMoM exports fell from 2,458 units. Decline stood at 68.43 percent at volume loss of 1,563 units. 401 exports fell from 1,762 units. 125 exports fell from 420 units. 250 exports fell from 204 units, and 200 exports were down from 72 units.Last month, the company revised the price of the Husqvarna 250 twins by about 2 grands. This puts Vitpilen pricing at Rs 2,17,152, and Svartpilen at Rs 2,17,779. When reporting estimated net sales for Q1 2022, Husqvarna Group emphasised on increased supply chain challenges.Global supply chain shortageWhile demand was strong across product categories, continual global supply chain challenges equated to components/parts shortages. And longer lead times result in delayed deliveries. Given the circumstances, the company estimated reduced production in Q1 2022. And the same situation appears to have trickled into Q2 2022. April and May production and sales/exports in India could be echoing a supply shortage situation.Husqvarna India Exports May 2022Globally, all eyes are on geopolitical developments in Europe. The current situation has no doubt choked and disrupted supply channels. This ongoing supply procurement troubles and urgency continues to boost buoyancy in raw material purchase prices. Simultaneously, energy and transportation costs are on the rise. Efforts are on to mitigate increased pricing trends while reducing backlogs. More

      New Bajaj Pulsar Launch Teaser 13th July – Is It Pulsar 160 N?

      by

      Updates for Pulsar 160NS have become necessary due to better equipped rival products2022 Bajaj Pulsar N 160 teased?A popular street fighter, Bajaj Pulsar 160NS competes with rivals such as TVS Apache RTR 160, Yamaha FZS-FI and Hero Xtreme 160R. To keep it relevant to evolving customer preferences, Bajaj will be launching next-gen version of Pulsar 160NS soon. In its new avatar, it could be rebranded as N160 or 160N.Ahead of launch, Bajaj has now shared a new teaser, with the Pulsar face. The teaser reads – Thrill; Now in a new Avatar. It is very likely that this is the first official teaser of the upcoming Pulsar 160 N. Interestingly, Bajaj had also shared a teaser last week, for Pulsar 250 Eclipse edition.New-gen Bajaj Pulsar 160N key updatesAs is evident from earlier spy shots, next-gen Pulsar 160NS comes with a range of visual enhancements. For example, the headlamp looks entirely new, featuring a redesigned casing and compact projector unit. It is inspired by the Pulsar N250.Another key change can be seen in the fuel tank that now gets longer extensions. The tail section looks familiar, but tail lights could feature a new design. The bike is known for its aggressive muscular styling, which will be carried forward or improved further.2022 Bajaj Pulsar N 160 teased?Next-gen Pulsar 160N could get an updated fully digital instrument console. There can be various other subtle changes that will be revealed at the time of launch. Another update could be new colour options for the new-gen Pulsar 160N. The current model is offered in colour options of Metallic Pearl White, Burnt Red and Pewter Grey.New-gen Bajaj Pulsar N 160 enginePowering new Bajaj Pulsar N 160 will be the same 160.3cc, oil cooled, Twin Spark BS6 DTS-i FI engine as earlier. It is capable of generating 17.2 PS of max power at 9000 rpm and 14.6 Nm of peak torque at 7250 rpm. It comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It is possible that Bajaj may choose to tweak the engine for the new Pulsar 160NS. However, even then, there isn’t going to be any significant difference in performance.Most of the other hardware and equipment is expected to be the same as earlier. The current model has telescopic front forks with anti-friction brush and Nitrox mono shock absorber with canister at the rear. The bike utilizes 17-inch alloy wheels that are shod with 90/90 -17 49 P tubeless tyres at the front and 120/80 -17 61 P tubeless units at the rear.Braking system comprises 260mm disc at the front and 230 mm disc at the rear. Single-channel ABS is offered as standard. Bajaj Pulsar 160 N weighs 151 kg and offers 177 mm of ground clearance. Fuel tank capacity is rated at 12 litres. As the changes are largely cosmetic in nature, new-gen Bajaj Pulsar 160NS could get a marginal price hike. The current model is priced at Rs 1.22 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). More

      503-HP BMW M3 Touring Combines Practicality and Performance

      by

      The longroof M3 combines a station-wagon body with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine.It has standard xDrive all-wheel drive including a RWD drift mode.It will go on sale in Europe (and elsewhere) later this year but is seemingly not coming to U.S.We are often frustrated when European automakers deny us cars with the excuse that they would be in limited demand in the U.S. This, sadly, is one of those occasions, with BMW’s official confirmation of a car that rational market forces are set to deny us. Meet the new BMW M3 Touring.That’s right, it’s an M3 wagon, the first that BMW has ever built through six generations of the nameplate. It got close in the past, having nearly launched a longroof version of the E36-generation M3 that was built between 1992 and 1999. But this is the first to actually make it to production and, on the basis of these images, it is every bit as awesome as you would expect such a combination of practicality and performance to be.
      The M3 Touring follows the M4 coupe and convertible and the M3 sedan, and is set to make its official debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K. this weekend. As you’d expect, it shares the station-wagon body of the existing 3-series Touring, which remains a strong seller in Europe, with the all-wheel-drive powertrain of the M3 Competition. And yes, it keeps Howitzer-caliber quad exhaust tips.

      That means power from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that makes 503 hp and 479 pound-feet of torque, with this delivered to the road through a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. The AWD system has an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch to apportion torque between its front and rear axles, plus an equally clever rear differential that allows full variation of the amount of effort sent to each rear wheel. Like the sedan, it will also feature a pure rear-wheel driven mode, although one that can only be selected with the disengagement of the DSC stability control system. Doing this will bring the additional dynamic option of the variable M Traction Control feature which will, according to BMW, “allow the skilled driver to enjoy a driving experience of remarkable purity.” Or, translated: big skids.The new car is slightly heavier than the M4 coupe and M3 sedan, although BMW hasn’t confirmed by quite how much. But it will still be brutally quick: BMW is claiming a sprint to 62mph in just 3.6 seconds—just a tenth behind the company’s claim for the sedan. Top speed will remain limited to 155 mph in standard form, although buyers who opt for the M Driver’s Package will see that increase to 174 mph.
      But it is also a wagon, one that will offer a claimed 18 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the rear seats in place, and with this figure increasing to 53 cubic feet with the seats folded. As with lesser versions of the 3-series Touring, practicality is enhanced by the ability to open the rear tailgate glass separately, allowing small items to be placed into the load space without opening the trunk.Beyond the obvious bodywork changes, the M3 Touring sticks closely to the look of the sedan, but it also marks the debut in an M car of BMW’s new Operating System 8 system, and also a new 14.9-inch curved touchscreen display. As the pictures confirm, it extends from the edge of the merged digital instrument cluster to overlap the front passenger’s position.
      There has been an M-branded Touring model before this one, with the E60-generation M5 combining wagon bodywork with the sonorous performance of that car’s naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V10 engine. This one is slightly less practical, but also quicker. It will be going on sale in markets including the U.K., Europe, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and Australia later this year. Sadly it seems there are no plans to bring it here.

      2018–2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango Recalled for Rollaway Risk

      by

      Stellantis will be recalling Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs to fix a problem with the antilock braking system that could potentially cause the vehicles to roll away unexpectedly.Included are 270,904 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango models in the U.S., built between June 2018 and April 2019. The recall report filed with NHTSA blames a ZF hydraulic control unit ABS module that “falsely reads pressure in the primary circuit,” allowing brake lights to stay on and the vehicle to start and shift out of park without use of the brake pedal.More than 270,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs are being recalled because they could accidentally start, shift out of park, and move without the brake pedal being depressed. In filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the automaker says “suspect” hydraulic control unit modules were installed in vehicles built between June 10, 2018, and April 30, 2019. The faulty modules can “falsely read pressure in the primary circuit,” potentially allowing the brake lights to come on and the vehicle to start and shift out of park.

      2018 Dodge Durango.
      FCA US LLC

      Fiat Chrysler (FCA), as it’s named in the recall documents, first began an investigation last fall after noticing increased warranty claims for brake lights staying on in the two models. There have been more than 200 such claims to date related to the problem, but no reported accidents or injuries, according to FCA’s filing with NHTSA.The recall will include 211,934 Grand Cherokee and 58,970 Dodge Durango vehicles. The automaker is still working out the remedy and said it will notify owners by letters that are to be mailed at the end of July. In the meantime, owners can check whether their vehicle is affected on the NHTSA recalls site.

      by

      With Indian economy recovering and a low base in May 2021, we see a healthy 225.54% YoY growth in May 2022Modified RE 650 by Neev MotorcyclesRoyal Enfield has been dominating the 500cc+ motorcycle market with its flagship Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. Both of these bikes are powered by the same 648cc parallel-twin engine. Even though it isn’t exactly cheap in foreign markets, it is in India. Starting from Rs. 2.8 lakh, this 650cc platform is the bargain of the century for what it packs as a whole package. This is reflected in the sales figures as we take a deeper look.500cc+ Motorcycles Sales May 2022With 1357 units sold in May 2022, Royal Enfield 650 twins (Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 combined) top the chart with 314.98% YoY growth over just 321 units sold in May 2021. 650 twins are the undisputed champions of this segment with 81.89% market share in May 2022. At second spot is the mighty Z900 from Kawasaki with 42 units sold in May 2022 with 600% YoY growth over just 6 units sold in May 2021 with a respectable 2.53% market share in May 2022.Triumph Tiger 1200 and Kawasaki Ninja 650 weren’t on sale last year and in May 2022, they clocked 28 units and 21 units respectively with a market share of 1.69% and 1.27% respectively. The legendary Hayabusa from Suzuki sold 11 units in May 2021 and doubled in May 2022 with 100% YoY growth and 1.33% market share.We have witnessed the rise in ADV popularity and it shows in the charts too. Honda Africa Twin, Kawasaki Versys 650 and Triumph Tiger 900 have registered a positive YoY growth of 375% with 19 units, 1200% with 13 units and 33.33% with 12 units sold in May 2022 respectively.500cc+ Motorcycle Sales May 2022Sporty machines like Kawasaki’s ZX-10R, Ninja 1000 and Honda’s CBR650R have also clocked positive YoY growth of 25% with 15 units, 333.33% with 13 units and 38.46% with 18 units sold in May 2022 respectively.

Other cruisers like Triumph Street Twin, Harley-Davidson Fat Bob and Honda Gold Wing GL1800 weren’t on sale in 2021 and have clocked 12, 6 and 6 units in May 2022 respectively.Motorcycles With Dip In SalesMotorcycles don’t always sell as manufacturers hoped. If we take a look at Harley-Davidson Low Rider, Low Rider S and Fat Boy 107, all of them have failed to sell a single model in May 2022. Now, coming to Harley-Davidson’s Iron 883, Road Glide and Softail Standard and Kawasaki’s W800 and Triumph’s Bonneville Bobber and Speed Triple, all of them have only sold one unit each in May 2022 with a massive dip in sales and contributing to only 0.06% of the market share each.Now, coming to motorcycles like Kawasaki Z650RS, Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic and Triumph’s Street Triple, Street Scrambler and Bonneville Speedmaster, all of them have sold just 2 units each in May 2022 with vast dip in sales and contribute to around 0.12% of the market share each. Motorcycles like Kawasaki Z650, Triumph’s Street Twin, Bonneville T100 and Rocket 3 and Harley-Davidson’s Pan America and Street Glide have sold 3 units each with dip in sales and contributing to 0.18% of market share each in May 2022.No500cc+ Motorcycles SalesMay-22May-21DiffGrowth % YoY% Share May 221650 Twin1,3573271,030314.9881.892Z90042636600.002.533Tiger 120028028–1.694Hayabusa221111100.001.335Ninja65021021–1.276Africa Twin19415375.001.157CBR 650R1813538.461.098Ninja ZX-10R1512325.000.919Versys 650131121,200.000.7810Ninja100013310333.330.7811Tiger 900129333.330.7212Speed Twin12012–0.7213Fat Boy 1141129450.000.6614Tiger 66010010–0.6015Fat Bob606–0.3616GL1800606–0.3617Vulcan S523150.000.3018Trident536-31-86.110.3019DL650XA404–0.2420Boneville T120419-15-78.950.2421Z650303–0.1822Street Twin311-8-72.730.1823Boneville T100303–0.1824Pan America303–0.1825Street Glide303–0.1826Rocket III3300.000.1827Z650RS202–0.1228Street Triple218-16-88.890.1229Street Scrambler23-1-33.330.1230Boneville Speedmaster202–0.1231Heritage Classic202–0.1232W800101–0.0633883 Iron101–0.0634Boneville Bobber13-2-66.670.0635Speed Triple15-4-80.000.0636Road Glide101–0.0637Standard101–0.0638Fat Boy 107015-15-100.000.0039Low Rider05-5-100.000.0040Low Rider S01-1-100.000.00–Total1,6575091,148225.54100.00Triumph Bonneville T120 and Suzuki V-Strom 650XT have sold 4 units each contributing to 0.4% of the market share each in May 2022. Coming to the best (relatively) performer of all vehicles with negative YoY growth in May 2022 is Triumph Trident 660 with only 5 units sold in May 2022 over 36 units sold in May 2021. Newly launched Tiger 660 registered sales of 10 in May 2022.Looking at the sales chart and analysing the YoY growth of 500cc+ motorcycles, we can see that the lower end of the price bracket of this category is still performing very well. It is at the expensive side of things, where numbers go down. Royal Enfield’s 650 Twins are the clear leader though with around 82% market share. Immediately after that is the Kawasaki Z900 and at Rs.8.86 lakh (ex-sh) it is the cheapest 4-cylinder engine-powered motorcycle currently on sale in India. More
