The CNG infra is a very real concern, the size of the petrol tank however isn’t a big one - bigger tank will add weight and won’t give users enough incentive to ride on CNG mode
The engineers who conceptualised and designed this were on some really great stuff. The ones who named this though, they used the spare change from the engineer's budget. 😂
This is the must have commuter arround, For those who are worrying about the safety if this let me tell you that I'm working in a Company in india where we manufacture these CNG tanks using very high precision machines & stringent quality checkpoints. So you don't have to worry about the safety.. Go Ahead with this.. This is the real future of Vehicle Industry
I have few questions but answers are not available. 1. How much percentage of ethanol mixed petrol this bike can sustain? 2. Can i run this bike only on CNG without using any petrol throughout the bikes lifetime? 3. Can this bike climb a mountain pass with 30 degree steep incline while carrying a payload of 130 kg on cng fuel? 4. Does this bike need approval of RTO for every 2 years for cng tank?
2 litres capacity?! What the hell were they thinking? CNG isn't as freely available as petrol. If one has to rely more on petrol for daily commuting, that would mean frequent visits to the petrol pump. Everything else is great, terrific design as well, just the fuel carrying capacity limits its travel capabilities...
@@saiprithvi3154 the issue is of CNG availablity. Very few CNG pumps are there and even they have very long queues. That's going to be an irritation for users.
@@powerdriftofficial yes bro...but bajaj why not focus on scooter segment in petrol...already they have. Chetak in ev version..now a days scooter like by many people from college guys to senior people for multiple usage..
Could this lead to higher capacity motorcycles? Of course if this product is successful. How about ease of filling the gas considering already dense CNG stations. On the parallel what actions are being taken to develop more CNG stations
Bajaj has done 11 internal tests, including puncture tests and head on collisions - none of them showed any deformation of the tank or loss of pressure
No problem sitting in front of a 10 kg/55 litre tank kept inside a tin can that is cut into two by a splendor going at 70 kmph, but concerned about sitting on a 2 kg tank that is enclosed by one of the sturdiest motorcycle chassis design?
@@powerdriftofficial Are 11 Internal tests sufficient. They should continuously do the test to ensure that there is no safety concern in different weather conditions. One does not after 2 years or 3 years is the safety mechanism still holds good.
Doesnt matter. There is a petrol station roughly 50Km even in highways and in a day you can only travel for 300-350 Kms.. There is no electric bike with that range and with good ride quality
Its a compromise between lower operating costs and more frequent trips to the gas station. But I guess the intended demographic wouldn't mind the latter if there were more gas CNG stations around in our country. I think it will be the infrastructural limitations that will fail this bike rather than its design limitations.
ABS should have been provided. Atleast in form of variant. Instead they have given Halogen and LED variants! Good quality LED bulbs are available in market (i.e Osram, Philips) to replace stock Halogen bulbs but ABS cannot be installed by customers.

We are sure safety was a priority when Bajaj started this project
Its more of a misconception I think. Besides CNG is a lot safer than something like LPG.

Not a fan?
Could this lead to higher capacity motorcycles? Of course if this product is successful. How about ease of filling the gas considering already dense CNG stations. On the parallel what actions are being taken to develop more CNG stations
No actions are being taken by Bajaj for CNG stations - but they trust that the increase in demand for CNG will lead to more stations
Higher capacity CNG motorcycles? In theory, yes but since the name of the game is efficiency - it will probably be restricted to commuters
Up to 200 cc motorcycles are very much possible don’t you think?

Waiting for this bike with so excited way but capicity of tank(4ltr total) disappointed me now 😢
How much did you expect?
@@powerdriftofficialatleast 6 ltr both
Bajaj managed to make thos bike look a little like an offloader. It'll look good as a higher displacement motorcycle too.
A sporty touch to the CNG commuter wasn’t what we were expecting either
This is the first 4 seater motorcycle in India.

It could!

Hey there!
The main con is the missing of auto fuel switch.
But the manual switch isn't too painful
Cng stations must have increase, then only this bike will success, and other thing is in 2kg cng tank only 1.25 cng will only fulled, not 2kg cng
Good point. Ye bhi test karege

Why don't they use this long seat on other powerful bikes like 250cc or 400cc bike. That would be very interesting.

Whats the idea or logic behind such a long seat ? Delivery agents luggage bags ?
That could be one reason for sure. We also think the longer seat has made the packaging of the CNG tank a bit neater

We are seeing Husky
Now cng lines will be much longer
And hopefully there will be more CNG pumps!
