Royal Enfield 650 Twins’ Update
Royal Enfield’s 650 twins were in the news a fair bit this week. Limited editions of both the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650 were first launched in Europe. Following that, the brand finally gave the retro beauties some much-needed modern touches abroad. Alloy wheels, an LED headlight, a USB charging port and more, here’s everything new that the bikes get.
Electric News
The electric two-wheeler segment has been keeping us very busy. But hey, we’re not complaining! We first got to know about the Ola S1 and S1 Pro’s batteries’ prices – and they cost nearly 70 percent of the price of the e-scooters themselves! Check it out here.
Vida announced that it has set up nearly 300 charging stations at 50 locations in three cities in India. Check out which cities we’re talking about here.

The Indian electric scooter segment got as many as three brand new additions this week. First it was the Bounce Infinity E1 Limited Edition. All the details in our exclusive story here. Next in the list was Okaya. The electric mobility brand launched the Faast F2F electric scooter. It’s got a decent range, features and a very reasonable price tag.
But what was arguably the most exciting of the lot was the River Indie. This ‘SUV of Scooters’ boasts of massive storage spaces while packing a solid range and top speed. Have a detailed look at it here.
