Yet another action-packed week with a lot of interesting two-wheeler happenings
2021 might be coming to a close but that hasn’t slowed down the two-wheeler industry one bit. And the second week of December was lively as ever. Here are the top five news happenings from the week that went by:
Simple One Electric Scooter Spotted
The Simple One electric scooter was spotted undergoing final phases of testing on public roads, before commencing deliveries next year. According to sources, the main aim of these tests is to ensure optimal performance, range, and durability. Interestingly, the final product will also bear a few design changes and a bump in performance. For full details, read our exclusive report.
Royal Enfield Scram & Updated Interceptor 650 Spied Testing
Royal Enfield’s upcoming scrambler, the Scram 411, was spotted testing twice this week. Once in Goa, in a production-ready avatar, probably on its way for a TVC shoot. And secondly in Chennai, wrapped in a grey colour undergoing highway testing.
Not only this, even the 2022 Interceptor 650 was spotted separately, bearing a new exhaust system. This could make it lighter and more practical for tight spaces.
Ola Electric FINALLY Commences Deliveries!
After a long delay, Ola Electric finally commenced deliveries of the S1 and S1 Pro. While this is a good sign for Ola customers, the first batch of scooters were missing some crucial features. According to Ola, these features will be unlocked via OTA updates in a month's time. Need more details? Simply head to our news story.
