If you are living in an Indian city, look at all around you. Look at all the pollution causing, oil guzzling two wheelers, cars and SUV’s and listen to the awful noise pollution of these vehicles.
People driving large OIL guzzling SUV’s and most of the time driving alone. What is the need for a Diesel SUV when 95% of the time, you drive alone or with another person on board? This is 2019, and why don’t we see more Electric vehicles in our cities that can help clean the air in our cities? By Kedar Soman It was almost end of 2017. I was sitting in a Delhi meeting that was supposed to come up with policy suggestions for NITI aayog for electric vehicles. Right across from me sat two individuals from one very established car company in India. As the discussion veered towards what the car manufacturers need to do to advance electric mobility in India, these two individuals literally went berserk. They shouted from the top of their voices how the government should not dictate the direction and the market needs figure it out by itself. Any suggestion for tightening fuel standard, suggesting change in taxation, suggestion of measures to make the car manufacturers make more electric vehicles prompted a strong, almost vicious reaction from these two guys.
Today, Twenty Two Motors and KYMCO, one of the largest two wheeler and leading power sports global brands announced their partnership in India. This marks the entry of KYMCO into the Indian sub-continent. The alliance aims at making scooter experience intuitive, convenient and stylish for Indian customers.

Team Ather Energy After 4 years, 55 prototypes, 50,000 km in on-road testing and over a million man hours, the S340 is finally ready!
And this one is not a render or a concept for a show. It’s rolling off an actual production line as we speak. Artem Energy Future Pvt Ltd, a home-grown electric vehicle technology company has announced the Artem M9 -- the world’s safest electric scooter. The M9 will include unprecedented ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) previously seen only in luxury cars.

Artem is taking a unique approach to EV practicality by allowing the M9 to be charged by an on-board fast charger, as well by swapping batteries.

Day 3 and 4 of our Chalo Chilli tour was very hectic but very exciting!
We visited DLF Mall of India at Noida to check out the work CleanMotion is doing. We met some amazing people at URV enterprises who are going to launch disruptive EV products soon. We then met the EV community and members of EV industry in an event organised by us. We thank Mahindra Electric, Hero Electric and Okinawa for showcasing the e2o Plus, Hero Electric Optima Li-Ion and Okinawa Ridge e-Scooter.
Going by the tremendous response of its test launch of Optima Lithium Battery E-Scooter, Hero Electric, the pioneer and front-runner in the Indian Electric two-wheeler industry, is now set to launch its entire range of high energy density Lithium battery Electric Scooters, this October.
Ather Energy revealed the S340 - India's first smart electric scooter at the SURGE conference in Bangalore.
This e-scooter will be a game changer for the Indian e-bike market due to its connectivity features, uber cool dashboard, its lithium-ion battery, quick charging times, more power than current generation VRLA based e-bikes and remote diagnostics.
By Johnson
For a long time, physically challenged persons have had to get their two wheelers modified on their own to add two extra wheels. This has meant that the wheels are not covered under manufacturers warranty or vehicle insurance.
Hero Electric has taken up the cause of solving this issue with its Optima Plus special ability electric scooter.
Update 2018
The company is not called - ARTEM and will be launching alternative products! Read Press Release Update May 2016 - The company Morello Yamasaki is now focussing on RnD on a new next generation lithium-ion based e-bike platform. They wont be releasing any new products including Nirbhaya until beginning of 2017. Also they plan to rebrand and change their name. We will keep you posted! Original Blog - 26/03/2015 Given the atrocities that happen to women in Indian cities from time to time, an electric vehicle company is thinking ahead by launching an e-bike called 'Nirbhaya' with innovative safety features for women riders. This e-bike will be manufactured and sold by the Ahmedabad based Indo-Japanese electric two-wheeler manufacturer, Morello Yamasaki. By Johnson Let me congratulate Ather on their success in getting funding of $1 million. They have done a lot of hardwork to deserve it. But let me warn that Mahindra had invested 20 times more in the Mahindra e2o and are struggling to sell. Let's not repeat the mistakes of e2o.
But before coming to that let me say that Raju Venkatraman, Sachin and Binny Bansal have given the Indian Automobile industry a big boost by investing in the Ather idea. If successful, this will surely change the face of motorcycling not only in India but also in Africa and South East Asia. |
