Innovations often lead the market to new directions and, similar seems to be the case with the two-wheeler segment. Going by the new innovations in Hybrid and CNG powertrains a question that arises is would they be able to replace the existing petrol powered Scooters. Continuing in the new direction Yamaha has launched a Ray Z with a Mild Hybrid system and beyond that the beyond that TVS has been working on a CNG powered scooter as well.
Ray Z Hybrid
The Hybrid scooter has become one of the most widely acknowledged scooter due to the HYBRID technology that has been instilled in it. The 125 cc scooter has a onboard SMG to charge the battery and produce a power output of 8.2 ps along with a peak torque of 10.3 NM for quicker acceleration. The scooter has been priced at 85,830 Rs, and is readily available all across the market. The Hybrid Air cooled engine is the main standout feature of the scooter.
The scooter hence has a Hybrid power assist as well as a automatic start stop system that allows the vehicle to shut down the scooter and start up as necessary. This would help the scooter save up on fuel and provide a superior mileage. The Scooter allegedly gives out a mileage of about 68.75 km per liter. While there has already been a CNG powered bike the CNG Jupiter would be a new addition to the two wheeler market in India. The Jupiter CNG would be visually identical to the 125 cc version from the appearance. But underneath the scooter is powered by CNG.
