Auto Expo 2020: Best Two-Wheelers Of The Show
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Needless to say, the 2020 Auto Expo did not have much to offer to two-wheeler enthusiasts with all big manufacturers giving the biennial event a miss! In fact apart from Suzuki Motorcycle India and the Piaggio group, there were just a handful of electric two-wheeler companies present at the expo. Nonetheless, we scrounged hard and here are the best two-wheelers on display at the 2020 Auto Expo.
Suzuki Katana
Tumblr media
(The headlight is a tribute to the old Katana, but the engine is shared with the Suzuki GSX-S1000F) Suzuki unveiled the all-new Katana at Auto Expo 2020. The Suzuki Katana revives a name which has been taken from Suzuki's past, from the 1980s and 1990s, of a popular sport touring motorcycle with the same name. The 2020 Suzuki Katana is based on the Suzuki GSX-S1000F and is powered by the same 999 cc, in-line four-cylinder engine which pumps out 147 bhp of maximum power at 10,000 rpm, and 105 Nm of peak torque at 9,500 rpm. It has already been showcased in international motorcycle shows like the 2018 Intermot show in Germany, as well as the EICMA 2018 show in Milan, Italy. The electronics package includes a three-level traction control which can be switched off. Braking is handled by Brembo, with radial calipers and ABS. With the sharp and sculpted bodywork which forms the main design theme of the Katana, it also adds to the weight of the bike. The new Suzuki Katana tips the scales with 215 kg kerb weight.
Tumblr media
(The 2020 Suzuki Katana draws power from a litre-class engine with 147 bhp on offer) For now, the Katana has been showcased to gauge audience reaction at Auto Expo 2020. If there is considerable consumer interest, Suzuki India may consider launching the Katana later this year in India, but not as a fully imported completely built unit (CBU), but assembled in India from completely knocked down (CKD) kits to keep prices competitive.
Aprilia SXR 160
Tumblr media
(Piaggio India CEO & MD Diego Graffi with the Aprilia SXR 160 at Auto Expo 2020) One of the two-wheeler highlights is the Aprilia SXR 160, which was revealed at the Piaggio pavilion.

The Aprilia SXR 160 will be offered in four colours which are red, blue, white and black. The 'CrossMax' design. All LED lighting is standard and so is a fully digital instrument cluster which shows a bunch of information. ABS and disc brakes all around is standard fitment as well. Other styling bits include 12-inch 5-spoke machined alloys with wide pattern tyres. It gets the same 160 cc 3-valve engine from the Aprilia SR 160 which makes 10.8 bhp and is paired to CVT gearbox. Aprilia will launch the SXR in a 125 cc variant as well, which will get the SR 125's engine as is. It makes 9.4 bhp and 9.9 Nm of peak torque and gets the same CVT setup as well. Buyers can also choose from a wide range of specially designed accessories like connectivity, mobile docking system and merchandise like Aprilia helmets and apparel.

Thoughts on the Tata Tigor EV Electric Sedan
  The story of the Tigor EV Electric Sedan begins with a authorities contract. For as soon as in 2017, the babus get it proper – as they take an excellent resolution of kick beginning the nascent Indian EV four wheeler market, with a stimulus. So an order of ten thousand automobiles is tendered. When all the bets appeared to be on Mahindra strolling away with the order, Tata Motors emerges as the darkish horse.
Having began my profession with Tata Motors, I’m stunned. The firm just isn’t actually recognized for its agility. To proceed the babu story – what they didn’t anticipate – is the hostile response to EVs that the sarkaari drivers would have. Used to the perks of siphoned petrol and diesel, the drivers’ resistance developed, as they may not determine easy methods to siphon electrical energy! But the greater subject, at the least from the Tigor EV perspective, was the decrease vary. And particularly, when it received in comparison with the different participant, in the two horse EV car race in India, the E-Verito.  ​ The episode jogs my memory of the story, of the demented man who goes to a city and locations an order with the carpenter, who in flip goes on to rejoice by enriching the baker – and many others – and usually the city will get again its financial system. Later on,  the carpenter realises that the order was a spurious one, however by then it would not matter – the velocity has come again in circulation in the financial system, and as the three idiots would say, all izz properly. Like the madman in the above story, EESL realised that that they had goofed up on the specs – and determined that the greatest method to save face was to postpone accepting deliveries. And so right here was Tata Motors, who had spent massive bucks on creating the Tigor EV, questioning what to do with the Tigor EV.
Earlier N. Chandra, the new chairman of the Tata group, had different plans. He created a particular EV division at Tata Motors, which is impartial of the Commercial and Passenger Car enterprise. The division has its personal President – who reviews on to the Tata Motors MD. The consideration of the prime administration made a distinction. Instead of jettisoning the Tigor EV after the lack of Government orders, the firm determined to vary route and promote the car to fleet operators. And guess what, the fleet guys gave the identical suggestions, as the authorities – give us extra vary. And TML listened. In Oct 19, they upgraded the battery pack – and received the vary as much as an ARAI accredited 213 km. A standard Ola / Uber car does about that a lot in a day – in most cities in India, with the exception of the sprawling NCR. So I believe 200 km is a candy spot for the fleet guys. Increase the vary additional, and you’ve got each value and weight penalties.  ​ With BS 6 coming in Apr 20, most car corporations are out of the blue going to be discovering diesel going out of trend. The urea tanks required in diesel automobiles to satisfy NOx emission requirements aren’t actually endearing themselves to car homeowners. So now is an efficient time for corporations to start out providing the electrical drivetrain as an choice to petrol. Of course, at double the worth. There is extra logic to this transfer than that. Given the dismal volumes in India for EVs, it is smart to unfold the mounted value of car improvement – R and D, sheet steel dies, homologation et al – over bigger variety of automobiles. This approach, you may have EVs that do not burn the trousers together with the customers’ pockets. Platform sharing appears to be like to be the approach ahead for everyone.
The best method to do a coronary heart transplant in a petroleum car, is to make use of the engine area for the motor and related electronics – and the area for the gasoline tank for the battery. And that is precisely what Tata has executed. Tesla has its battery pack operating all alongside the flooring, however then Tesla is a ground-up EV. Interestingly, the greater battery floor space of the Tesla additionally presents a hearth hazard – as there have been incidents the place Teslas have flamed up by items of steel mendacity on the highway. The new Tigor will get a 22 kWh battery, which is up from the 16 kWh one earlier. The 30 kW motor does an enough job of dealing with regular city visitors. The battery is a prismatic LFP pack.   ​ Heart transplants include their very own negative effects. What a petroleum car DNA engineer nonetheless doesn’t perceive, is how necessary the battery, aka gasoline tank, in an electrical car is. Imagine designing a Tigor sized car with a scooter gasoline tank – that is the scenario with EVs immediately. And in such a scenario each drop counts. So effectivity is the identify of the sport – and never the brute drive effectiveness – which Tata’s ERC has been used to, of their greater than 50 years of engine constructing. The first rule of effectivity is to journey gentle. I roam round the county with a backpack – and the size of the journey doesn’t matter – so long as I get to do my laundry on a regular basis. On the identical strains, frugality must be the DNA with EV design. How to get the most out of each Watt-hour of vitality saved in the battery. And we hope that the Nano classes of frugality haven’t been forgotten by the Tata Motors crew.​
Here are the low hanging fruit for upping effectivity. Low rolling resistance tyres, that are a wee bit over inflated to get extra juice out of the battery pack. TML crew knowledgeable us that the tyres do have lesser resistance – however I couldn’t see the Toyota Prius type of treads in them. The air-con requires about four kW energy. For a 75 kW petrol car it’s simply 5% of output, however for an electrical it’s greater than 10%. The identical cooling unit additionally has to do a job of cooling the battery pack – and that is necessary – as batteries don’t like being on the fallacious facet of 40 diploma Celsius. The distinction in inside temperatures in white car parked in the solar, when contrasted to a black one parked for the identical variety of hours, will be as a lot as 5 diploma Celsius. No marvel, most Tigor Electrics bought are white. My recommendation to future EV consumers could be, it doesn’t matter what the coloration of your cash, however let your EV be white!
Tumblr media
And now coming to the excessive hanging fruit – weight. Here is my estimate of the weight break-up of the Tigor EV. 
Battery Pack – 215 kg
Motor and drive practice – 85 kg
Body Shell – 300 kg
Steering and Suspension – 150 kg
Seats, Dashboard et al – 150 kg
Electronics and cabling – 150 kg
Air conditioning and Cooling – 100 kg 
Tyres, together with stepney – 80 kg
A complete of 1200 kg – which is about the identical as the petrol / diesel variants. The underlying philosophy being that if the weight stays the identical, the dealing with would stay the identical. Maybe we will query this philosophy. Maruti, in spite of everything, has grow to be market chief in India, as a result of it is automobiles are usually lighter than competitors – with in fact, the concomitant enhance in gasoline effectivity. Government has taxation norms for petrol/diesel automobiles based mostly on the size of the car. For EVs the slabs needs to be weight based mostly – in order that relative vitality guzzlers like the tremendous heavy Teslas – if and once they come into the Indian market – find yourself paying the highest taxes.   The best factor in weight is to do away with the spare tyre. Not joking! The Mahindra E2O was really bought in European markets with no spare wheel – and the frunk (the entrance boot) really had a fish basket. And in addition – the Tigor proprietor would additionally get extra boot area. But coming again to heavier points – the exterior panels are the costliest – and it will not make sense to the touch them. But the inside sheet steel will be checked out. With lesser load in the engine compartment, there might be some weight saving prospects there. Since the car runs smoother, and would sometimes not be a rural off roader, there will be extra weight financial savings in the suspension too. I imagine TML is working on lowering weight in the cab space – we imagine that the seats of the newer Tigor are lighter. What prevents extra investments in weight discount is the uncertainty about volumes. Group chairman Chandra is prepared with investments, proviso to gross sales occurring. Chicken and egg. The goal needs to be to get the Tigor weight all the way down to lower than a ton. 
The different variable that performs a call in car shopping for, particularly EVs, is preliminary value. The operating value at 1 Rupee a km is a wow ingredient. But the preliminary spend of 13 lakh + is a dampener. The greens would love this worth – and the excellent news for the greens is that the car is now out there for particular person homeowners. However, with FAME subsidies not being given to people, it will be a good suggestion for revolutionary accountants to give you monetary jugaads which may give firm homeowners the cloak of changing into a fleet proprietor – and get the subsidy. We don’t actually count on TML to endorse this conduct, which is on borderlines between good and dangerous ethics. But the moral issues would get sorted out when a fleet proprietor leases the automobiles to people or corporations. The different benefit of leasing an electrical is that it de-risks the proprietor, as she doesn’t have to fret about upkeep. My recommendation to TML could be to start out the leasing service itself. Why let aggregators take away a market – and make a commodity out of cars. The belief in the Tata model will make a lease from Tata simpler for customers to purchase. Till date, business banks have been fearful of lending loans for EV purchases, not being too positive of what the residual values of the automobiles are going to be. Auto producers now have to put cash the place their mouth is – and inform customers by their actions about the belief they’ve in the automobiles they’re constructing. We have seen that occuring with Revolt in the electrical bike area – and the glorious response it has acquired from the market. Time for an encore in automobiles, TML!  Jugaad apart, most of our desi sensibility loves seeing extra inexperienced in the pocket than exterior of it. The battery pack is the greatest value driver of EVs. My guess is that we’re battery vitality storage prices of about 500 $ per kWh. So there goes 11,000 {dollars} or Rs. eight lakh straight. Battery swapping has potential to decrease this value. If swapping can occur in the identical time {that a} fleet driver spends at a CNG pump, then we’re good. We will nonetheless want an actual life vary of 100 km – as we count on a fleet proprietor to drive round 200 km a day. The authorities generally is a big enabler over right here. The crucial in battery swapping is requirements. And right here is the place the babus appears to have adopted a wait and watch mannequin. Even easier stuff like charging ports haven’t been standardised – as the babus anticipate the extra developed nations to actually, take cost. 
In the good previous days of petrol automobiles, the Americans would provide big variety of engine choices. Maybe the time has come, to supply an enormous variety of battery choices in the Tigor EV. Batteries, being modular, work on a special paradigm. Economies of scale occur at the module stage. And once more, if corporations get collectively to outline these commonplace modules, everybody stands to win on this cooperative-competitive sport. Most people and small fleet homeowners wouldn’t be investing in the excessive present quick charging infrastructure. It takes 11 hours to do a full cost with sluggish charging for the Tigor EV. A type of boundary line for in a single day charging. One shudders when one thinks of the 18 hours it takes to cost the 35 kWh Hyundai Kona on sluggish cost. But then with a 452 km vary (ARAI determine), you are able to do a cost each Sunday. One extra choice that may be provided in the Tigor EV is with out capacity for quick charging. Am positive it will shave off a lakh from the worth. And now that I’m on it, my suggestion could be to shift the sluggish charging port to the facet – with much more area to drag out jammed charging ports. Like in Volvo buses, you may have hoses that go into the gasoline tank from either side, the firm can have a look at having the sluggish and quick charging ports on both facet of the car – in the identical slot as the gasoline tank flap.  Combined with a decrease battery dimension, the magic determine of sub 10 lakh might be reached for the private car person.  ​ To finish; would I purchase this car? Hmmm… Real life vary is about 150 km. Now for E2O customers who’ve lived with 100 km vary, to not point out Reva customers who lived with 60, 150 is certainly a step up. If we have a look at typical city drive cycles, most are lower than 100 km. So in a way, the Tigor will meet your week day wants. So if you’re already an E20 person, who has discovered the E20 to be becoming in your drive cycle, and there’s one other ICE car in the storage, then do check drive the Tigor ASAP; this might be E20 substitute. But if the EV goes to be your single car, and you intend to do lengthy drives on weekends, vary anxiousness can occur. A bit of chicken tells me that the Tata Nexon EV launch is only some months away. And with a worth differential of some extra lakh – and a variety distinction of greater than 100 km – weekend drivers, wait and watch!

Vespa GTS
Vespa GTS will go down in history as one of the world’s best loved two-wheelers, the successor to the legendary “Vespone”, the name given to those Vespas with a larger, strictly steel body. Vespas with which to move elegantly around town but that are also ready to travel, or even take on adventures thanks to their increasingly generous engines.
Born in 2003 with the arrival of Vespa GT 125 and 200, the family of big Vespas grew in 2005 with the arrival of the GTS 250 version followed by engine sizes of up to 300 cc. In 2016, the Vespa GTS family also gained i-get engines, of 125 and 150 cc.
For 2019, the entire Vespa GTS range is further improved, with a series of updates to boost performance, comfort and style.
The new Vespa GTS range, packed with standard equipment, now comprises five versions: Vespa GTS, GTS Touring, GTS Super, GTS SuperSport and the brand-new, technological Vespa GTS SuperTech, with colour TFT display that maximises connectivity to the smartphone with the VESPA MIA system.
Two engine sizes are available, the already well-known and appreciated 125 i-get single-cylinder is now joined by the new 300 hpe (High Performance Engine), fruit of the latest Piaggio Group technology, which aims to create engines that are increasingly advanced and efficient in terms of limiting emissions and consumption. Able to deliver more than 23 HP, this is the most powerful engine ever adopted by a Vespa.
Design: tradition and modernity
The style evolution of Vespa GTS continues to be shaped by its heritage, achieving a magical balance of tradition and modernity in the lines of its strictly steel chassis.
The many modifications made to update the design of the new Vespa GTS are further proof of this, the vehicle standing out from previous versions while still retaining certain distinctive traits: the front headlight and rear lights now adopt full LED technology, a solution that contributes to increasing active safety. The front section features a redesigned shield, the centre of which incorporates the unmistakeable horn cover, extended and enhanced with three decorations. Also new is the shape of the handlebar, the chrome crest of the front mudguard, the rear view mirrors and the grilles to the sides of the shield, characterised by a brand-new honeycomb motif.
At the rear, the side panels undergo a restyling, running under the body, while versions driven by a 300 HPE engine stand out for a new engine crankshaft cover and a new silencer cover.
Legendary comfort, further improved
The perfect ergonomics and natural seat position have always contributed to making every Vespa comfortable, pleasant to ride and accessible to all. The new Vespa GTS further highlights that strong touring tradition that big Vespas have always embodied, offering a new seat able to guarantee greater comfort for both rider and passenger. A result achieved thanks to optimised ergonomics and the use of new materials for the padding and upholstery.
The large under-seat compartment makes the most of available space, able to accommodate two Vespa Visor 3.0 demi-jet helmets and more besides. Adding to the load capacity of Vespa GTS is a glove box, inside which there is also a USB port, useful for the recharging of external devices.
The Piaggio 300 hpe engine: the most powerful Vespa of all time
The new Vespa GTS boasts the latest evolution of the 300 cc single-cylinder, 4 stroke, 4 valve, liquid-cooled engine with electronic injection: the result of Piaggio Group R&D experience, and known as 300 hpe (High Performance Engine), the unit has benefited from extensive work aimed at increasing performance while at the same time reducing fuel consumption. With respect to the previous version, maximum power comes in at 17.5 kW (23.8 HP) at 8250 rpm, which translates into a 12% increase, while maximum torque, equating to 26 Nm at 5250 rpm, has been boosted by 18%. Improvements that are paired with a significant reduction in consumption, with mileage increasing from 29.4 km/l to 31 km/l in the WMTC cycle.
This is the most high-performance engine ever mounted on a Vespa, a result achieved thanks to meticulous work by Piaggio technicians across a large number of components, with the aim of optimising thermodynamic output and reducing friction. The adoption of a new head and a piston with redesigned architecture results in a highly efficient combustion chamber, which also benefits from valves and ducts of increased diameter inside the head. The single camshaft distribution system with roller tappets gains a camshaft with optimised timing and valve lift speeds. The introduction of a new high pressure multi-jet injector also helps to improve combustion. Lastly, a more generous intake line improves the torque delivered at low revs and ensures an exceptionally smooth ride at any speed. The new iridium ignition spark-plug ensures greater durability.
The transmission has also been dramatically redesigned: the CVT boasts a new belt, new geometry and new materials, all enveloped by a new cover coated with sound-absorbent material, to reduce mechanical noise, also aided by a new, more rigid clutch drum.
The engine is controlled by a latest-generation Magneti Marelli MIUG4 ECU, already compatible with the future Euro 5 standard.
125 i-get engine
All models in the new Vespa GTS range are also available with a 125 i-get electronic injection engine, with four valve distribution and liquid cooling. An engine that tops its category in terms of performance and respect for the environment.
Engines in the i-get family stand out for the adoption of the Piaggio patented Start & Stop system known as RISS (Regulator Inverter Start & Stop System). The system eliminates the traditional starter, replaced by a brushless “direct mount” electrical device, installed directly on the crankshaft. There are many advantages: a quieter start, increased lightness and reliability, and lower fuel consumption. The Piaggio Start & Stop system automatically switches off the engine 3 to 7 seconds after the scooter has stopped (depending on whether the engine has reached its correct operating temperature or not). A minimal rotation of the throttle is enough to instantly re-start the engine, absolutely silently, as there is no traditional starter. If the side stand is deployed or the tilt sensor comes into operation, the control unit cuts off the Start & Stop function, that is, the engine turns off and will not re-start automatically.
The 125 i-get engine is accredited with power of 9 kW at 8250 rpm. A figure that, translated on the road, highlights the brilliance of the engine, specifically designed and created to suit the daily needs of users in urban environments. These riding conditions are marked by frequent starts and stops which require elasticity, lively acceleration and a smooth ride. Qualities ensured by the excellent torque value (11.1 Nm at 6750 rpm), which allows the Vespa GTS to excel when it comes to the standing start and acceleration. All with a guaranteed consumption of 40 km/l in the WMTC cycle.
Technical features aimed at maximum safety
The Vespa GTS chassis, in line with all Vespas from 1946 until now, is strictly steel for unrivalled robustness as well as truly unique levels of safety and dynamism. The result is a particularly brilliant ride both in city traffic as well as on country roads: a blend of thrilling handling and reassuring stability, also thanks to the generously sized tyres on 12 inch wheels. The double-disc braking system ensures prompt deceleration, even in sports use, with a modularity reserve able to put even a beginner’s mind at rest.
The Piaggio Group is the first manufacturer to introduce scooter ASR electronic traction control, once available only on the best motorcycles, to prevent wheel spin. The electronic control package is rounded off with the ABS anti-braking system. Both come as standard on Vespa GTS family models.
Always connected with VESPA MIA
The VESPA MIA connectivity system allows you to connect your smartphone to the Vespa GTS on-board electronics system via Bluetooth and enjoy exclusive functions for an even more satisfying and fun riding experience.
VESPA MIA and the new Vespa app are specifically designed to connect iOS or Android mobile devices to the latest Vespa models equipped with an instrument cluster with TFT display: Vespa Elettrica, Vespa Primavera S and Vespa Sprint S, and the brand-new model in the Vespa GTS range, the SuperTech version.
Once the smartphone is connected to Vespa GTS SuperTech – paired to the vehicle via the dedicated Vespa app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play – the TFT display will clearly show all notifications relating to incoming calls and messages in the centre of the screen. The system also allows for call management via the practical joystick on the right-hand control block and the use of vocal commands to make calls or listen to music, by activating a playlist. To fully enjoy all these functions, Vespa GTS SuperTech offers a special dedicated Jet helmet as an accessory, the helmet complete with built-in earphones and Bluetooth intercom.
The display also serves as a navigation system, accompanying the rider along the route, pre-set in the Vespa app, with directions and pictograms.
Available as standard with Vespa GTS SuperTech, the VESPA MIA system is available as an optional for other models in the new Vespa GTS range: as well as Infotainment and navigation functions, which make use of the instrument cluster with TFT display, the app is also an exceptional source of information when it comes to vehicle status, riding parameters and journey stats, which can be viewed on the smartphone. VESPA MIA technology serves to optimise Vespa GTS usage in both town and country, enhancing the travel experience.
Versions and colours
The classic version of the Vespa GTS comes in Dolomite Grey and two new colours, Relax Green and Energy Blue. This base gives way to the adventurous Vespa GTS Touring, a tribute to Vespa’s travelling vocation. Millions of Vespas, equipped for tourism, have long travelled the world’s roads, giving entire generations the opportunity to get to know each other, expanding their borders and encountering different cultures. Vespa GTS Touring stands out for its evocative top fairing, which improves protectiveness without impacting on elegance, thanks to its reduced dimensions, and its rear luggage rack that, combined with the spacious under-seat compartment, ensures excellent load capacity for unforgettable holidays, whether alone or in two. Available in Vignola Red and new Forest Green, Vespa GTS Touring also boasts refined and elegant seat upholstery and a dedicated plate on the back of the shield.
The GTS Super version embodies typical Vespa GTS values such as style, comfort and safety, as well as boasting a high level of sportiness, the successor to legendary sports models such as the 1955 Vespa GS 150, the 1965 Vespa 180 SS and the 1985 T5 “Pole Position”. Immediately recognisable for its black rims with diamond finish and double upholstered seat with edge, it is available in four colours: Innocence White, Polished Black, Passion Red and the new Summer Yellow.
Vespa GTS SuperSport is the height of Vespa sportiness and boasts a strong character, marked by its full black rims and two bold matte colours, Titanium Grey and Bright Blue, enhanced with new dedicated graphics. As with the Super version, GTS SuperSport also features a seat with double upholstery and edge.
The new Vespa GTS SuperTech represents the top of the Vespa GTS range, the maximum expression of sport and technology. GTS SuperTech is the first large-bodied Vespa to adopt a fully digital instrument cluster thanks to a 4.3″ full colour TFT display. The instrument cluster, as well as displaying all the classic information such as speed, total and partial mileage, ambient temperature, and fuel level, also serves as the display for the VESPA MIA smartphone connectivity system.
Aesthetically, Vespa GTS SuperTech is characterised by its rims and decorations on the typical horn cover, offered with a special matte black finish. The yellow painted front shock spring serves as an original element that contrasts against the two available colours of Volcano Black and Matter Grey. Even the seat features a “hi-tech” finish, with double upholstery and two-colour stitching with yellow sections.
Accessories
In line with Vespa tradition, the new GTS boasts a wide range of accessories with which to personalise the vehicle and increase levels of comfort and functionality.
The top box, with room to accommodate one full-face helmet or two jet helmets, is painted to match the chassis and comes complete with a padded backrest to optimise passenger comfort.
The chrome front and rear luggage racks are among the most requested and appreciated accessories, showing off that Vespa personality as well as its long touring history in a strong and distinct manner.
The chrome perimeter guard kit is just one of the chrome accessories and guarantees maximum Vespa protection as well as clear aesthetic personalisation. For an added touch of elegance, a dark brown “Made in Italy” real leather seat is available.
On-board protection is guaranteed by the windscreen, in anti-impact and anti-splinter methacrylate and the high quality top fairing (transparent or smoke), with its compact, sporty lines. The leg cover in thermal material is easy to install and offers year-round riding comfort. The range of accessories also includes an anti-slip waterproof rubber mat, external and internal vehicle covers, a mechanical anti-theft system, an internal top box bag, luggage rack belts and a smartphone bracket.
For the Super and SuperSport versions, and in addition to the perimeter guards and luggage racks in matte black, the following elements are also available: a sports seat combining two technical materials and refined aluminium details for sports-orientated look, a top fairing, mudguard crest, rear view mirrors and handlebar control component kit, including brake levers, hand grips and handlebar ends in forged aluminium.
All Vespa accessories and style compliments are available online. On the vespa.com website, a point of reference for the world’s Vespa fans, Vespa Store shop windows open to create an internet space that provides fans with access to all the Vespa lifestyle collections. In the Vespa Store, a wide range of clothing, gadgets and accessories, conceived and designed according to classic Vespa iconography, allows everyone to experience Vespa style, dress with casual elegance, and surround themselves with carefully made objects reminiscent of timeless shapes.

Caterham Seven review - the iconic British track car is still going strong
For  The absolute definition of a sports car Against  Can be pricey; not the last word in usability Put simply, the Caterham Seven is one of evo's favourite cars. The Caterham Seven is about as close as you’ll find to a car that represents what evo is all about - the thrill of driving. From the moment you squeeze yourself into its racecar-like form to the point you climb out, windswept and possibly a little uncomfortable but grinning like a Cheshire cat, you’ll have experienced one of the most exciting cars on the road. > Best track cars That the Caterham Seven is still almost identical in concept to the Lotus Seven launched in 1957 is a testament both to Colin Chapman’s original idea and to the constant, small but important tweaks that Lotus and later Caterham have made. Engines have changed over time, different variants have improved the car’s appeal and there have been improvements to quality and reliability, but broadly the idea itself has remained constant - maximum driver interaction. In a world where every car has traction control, stability control, airbags, electric power steering and an infotainment screen the Seven is an anachronism, but what it sacrifices in usability it will always retain in the kind of driving purity that very few other modern cars can offer. The Seven is far from perfect and it’s not a car many are likely to use every day thanks to some fairly glaring limitations, but as a vehicle to squirrel away in your garage to enjoy on a sunny weekend, there’s little better. Choosing a favourite model is very difficult indeed too, thanks to Caterham’s wide range of options. Whether you want to blast along B-roads or dominate at trackdays, you’ll probably find something to suit. Caterham Seven in detail Performance and 0-60 time - Light weight means all Caterhams are quick, but the most powerful examples are terrifyingly so. Top speed of all models is limited by 1950s aerodynamics. Engine and gearbox - Plenty of choice here, from the entry-level 3-cylinder Suzuki with its notchy manual shift, to highly-strung Ford four-pots on individual throttle bodies paired with racing-style sequentials. Ride and handling - All Sevens handle beautifully. Behaviour ranges from the Goodwood Revival-style four-wheel drifts of the skinny-tyred 160s, to insane levels of grip with semi-slick-shod 620Rs. The ride is firm with all models, but not as bad as you’d expect. MPG and running costs - Outright economy varies from model to model - the 160 is very frugal indeed - and many other costs (brakes, tyres, servicing) are kept relatively low thanks to the car’s light weight and simplicity. Interior and tech - Not much of an interior or tech to speak of, but provided you physically fit, it’s not a bad environment from which to drive. It’s actually worse with the tent-like roof up. Design - The basic design hails from the 1950s, but still looks great to us, whether in retro Sprint and SuperSprint form or the bright colours and trackday tyres of R versions. Image 2 of 12 Image 2 of 12 Prices, specs and rivals Seven pricing begins at £17,725 for the 160. The 270 is priced at £22,410, the 310 at £23,910, the 360 at £25,910, the 420 at £28,910, the 620S at £46,410 and the 620R is a hefty £51,405. The limited-run SuperSprint is £29,995. However, all those prices are effectively the DIY rates. Get the factory to build your car and you can add £2500 to those numbers (aside from the 620 models and the SuperSprint, which are all factory-build only), while Caterham’s various options and packs add further costs. Specify the road-orientated S trim and you’re looking at £3495, and R pack cars with limited-slip diffs, uprated suspension, race seats and harnesses and the like add £4495 to the base price of relevant models. > Lotus Elise review Choose a wide-body car and you’re adding £2500, a six-speed ‘box and it’s £2495, and a dry-sumped engine (standard on the 420 and up) is £1550. A windscreen, hood and side screens comes to £1250, and a long list of other features, from roll cages to shift lights can add hundreds more. Some of the options are quite tempting, so it’s safe to assume you can take the base price of any model with a pinch of salt. Image 3 of 12 Image 3 of 12 The good news is that Sevens depreciate slowly, and some - like the retro Sprint and SuperSprint special editions - are likely to actually rise in value, as each has been produced in such a limited run and both sold out within hours of their respective on-sale dates. Rivals? Take your pick - the Seven’s pricing structure puts it up against various vehicles in purely economic terms, though chances are the specialist nature means you’ll be considering other sports cars, and specifically British ones like the Lotus Elise, Ariel Atom or Morgan 3-Wheeler as rivals. Performance and 0-60 time It’s always a good sign when the slowest car in the range can reach 60mph in under seven seconds, and the Seven 160 manages that in 6.9. Top speed is very much limited by 1950s aerodynamics (in all models, though it’s most apparent in those with the least urge), meaning the 160 can only reach 100mph - though to be fair, a hundred in a Caterham feels perfectly brisk. > Caterham Seven Donington Edition review The numbers climb quickly from there. In order of accelerative ability, the 270 hits 60mph in five seconds flat, the 310 in 4.9, the 360 in 4.8, the 420 in 3.8, the 620S in 3.4 and the sequential-’boxed 620R in 2.8sec. Top speed is 122mph for the 270, 127mph for the 310, 130mph for the 360, 136mph for the 420, 145mph for the 620S and 155mph for the mental 620R As with everything about the Seven, it’s the delivery and feel of that performance that matters as much as the numbers. The 160 is brisk, but stops well short of the terrifying pace of the fastest Sevens. The little Suzuki engine doesn’t have the throttle response of its stablemates even though its turbo is tiny, and it’s less keen to rev than the fours too, though a healthy mid-range means you can travel quickly enough without breaching the rougher reaches of the rev counter. Image 4 of 12 Image 4 of 12 The Ford four-cylinders rise in excitement proportional to their on-paper numbers. The evo team is split on just which variant is most satisfying to use, but all share throttle response seemingly hard-wired to your brain, and a willingness to bat into the rev limiter in every gear. The 310 is undoubtedly the pick of the 1.6s, delivering seriously quick performance without it feeling overdone for public roads, and it emits an engagingly raucous note as you race through the gears. > Caterham 160 review The Duratec models are all seriously fast and by the time you get to the 620R there’s barely enough time to blink, so quickly do numbers show up on the speedometer. Even the 420 has an ungodly turn of pace, and after our old Fast Fleet long term 420R was fitted with a set of individual throttle bodies, it instantly became the best-sounding car on the fleet. Engine and gearbox The choice here is wide but broadly revolves around three engine variants, a 660cc turbocharged Suzuki three-cylinder, and naturally-aspirated 1.6 and 2-litre Ford four-pots in various states of tune. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on most models with a six-speed manual standard on the 420 and a six-speed sequential on the 620R. The basic architecture means Caterham will only too happily fit a six-speed on all but the 160 though, and a limited-slip differential is available on all Sevens except the 160 - though the limited-run SuperSprint does include a limited-slip diff as standard equipment. > Caterham Seven 620S review The entry-level engine in the Seven 160 comes from Suzuki. An unusual choice? Perhaps, but the diminutive K6A engine has been used in Suzuki’s cars for decades so it’s a proven design, and its tiny size and affordability make it a natural choice for the basic Seven. It produces 80bhp, which doesn’t sound like much these days but feels healthy enough in the Seven, giving 163bhp per ton. The SuperSprint features a tuned version of the unit making 95bhp. If you want proper power though, the rest of the range can provide it. Next up is a 1.6-litre Ford Sigma four-cylinder, making 135bhp in the Seven 270 and 152bhp in the Seven 310 and developing a suitably sporting blare as they race towards the red line. The 2-litre Ford Duratec-engined models are rampant, with 180bhp the entry-point in the Seven 360, rising to 210bhp in the Seven 420 and, fitted with a supercharger, 310bhp and 219lb ft of torque in the 620R. Image 8 of 12 Image 8 of 12 Caterham fits the latter model with a six-speed sequential transmission - probably just as well, as while the Seven’s manual gearboxes are as tactile as transmissions get, we doubt our arms could move fast enough to change gear manually in the 620R. Ride and handling Light weight, a stiff spaceframe chassis, a front-mid engined layout, a low centre of gravity, rear-wheel drive… simply by looking at the car’s on-paper characteristics you know it’s going to be good, and true to form the Caterham remains one of the great drivers’ cars, decades after Colin Chapman first introduced the Lotus Seven way back in 1957. > Ariel Atom review That low weight influences virtually everything that makes the Seven great. Basic Seven 160s dip under the half-ton mark at 490kg and no other Seven weighs more than 575kg at the kerb. Even though the Seven is narrow by the standards of most cars, it’s wide for its height and combined with great front-to-rear balance and, if selected, sticky tyres, the car’s grip and change direction and the space it gives you on the road are pretty much unrivalled among regular road cars. You direct it through a quick, unassisted steering setup and a tiny wheel, meaning the smallest of movements have a large outcome and all but the tightest of turns can be dismissed with the flick of a wrist. The steering bombards you with feedback, but so tiny is the Seven’s frame that you feel as much about what the car is doing through the seat as you do from the wheel - and perched above the rear axle, you’re perfectly placed to detect changes in the car’s yaw. Only motorcyclists and single-seater racing drivers are granted more two-way communication between pilot and chassis. Image 6 of 12 Image 6 of 12 The Seven’s ultimate behaviour does depend on which model you go for, which gives the wide range of variants Caterham offers surprisingly different characteristics. The basic, live-axle 160 on its narrow tyres feels very much like driving a particularly well set-up classic, without the power to really excite the rear axle in the same way as its stablemates, but a wonderful front-to-rear balance and relatively low grip that lets you pull off tiny four-wheel drifts at satisfyingly sane speeds. > Morgan 3 Wheeler review At the other end of the scale, Caterham’s R models on near-slick Avon tyres grip tenaciously but give you more options when it comes to altering your cornering line with the throttle. Models in between do a bit of both, so choosing the car that best suits your driving style requires little more than the right budget and deciding just how fast you want to travel. The Seven’s ride quality is better than you’d expect, as the ultra-light chassis allows a softer spring rate than you’d normally require for such cornering performance. It’s never less than firm in any Seven, but the car’s small size means you always have the option of avoiding rougher sections of road altogether. MPG and running costs You’d probably not choose a Caterham Seven as an economy car, but for something with the potential for such huge performance, they can be surprisingly affordable to run. Caterham only quotes fuel economy for the basic Seven 160, mainly because it’s absolutely remarkable - 57.6mpg combined, with only 114g/km of CO2. The latter means an initial bill of £160 for VED (something not even the frugal 1.5-litre Mazda MX-5 can manage, with 139g/km and a first year bill of £200), with annual VED of £140 thereafter. That economy-car engine really pays dividends here. Image 9 of 12 Image 9 of 12 You can expect the four-cylinder Sevens to be less economical, though on a steady cruise you shouldn’t expect too many shocks at the pumps from most of them. Better will be the way you don’t chew through tyres or brakes as you might from a heavier performance car, and with so few toys in the cabin, there’s little to actually go wrong in the first place. As a car from a small-volume manufacturer though, there’s still the potential for little, niggling faults and the occasional failure to proceed, so factor this into your buying decision and set aside a little money for unexpected costs. On the plus side, slow depreciation means you'll not take too great a hit when you come to sell up. Interior and tech There’s not much interior to speak of in a Seven, but the biggest concern you’ll probably have is whether you even fit. Caterham does offer different seat options and perhaps more pertinently, a large SV frame is still available for particularly tall drivers, but it’s certainly not a car for the broad. Next, you’ll want the roof off. It’s handy that Caterham supplies one, but it makes getting in and out a considerable faff, it’s fiddly to erect or stow, it makes the cabin a claustrophobic place, doesn’t really make it a great deal more weatherproof, and frankly it looks a bit crap too. A better bet is the recently introduced 'shower cap' roof that leaves the rear of the car open but can be erected or lowered in a matter of seconds; unlike the full roof, which takes minutes and the skin off your knuckles. Ultimately, for wet weather driving we'd recommend warm waterproof jacket and a healthy sense of adventure. The doors are worth using if you intend to drive your Seven without a helmet, mostly because the car’s unique shape turns the interior space into a vacuum above a certain speed and actually makes it quite difficult to breathe. Image 10 of 12 Image 10 of 12 The rest of the Seven’s cabin is as simple as they come. You can option a heater and a heated windscreen as mild creature comforts, and if you’re in a racy mood then the fixed-back bucket seats with harnesses ramp up the race-car feel - though they do make getting in and out even more of a chore. The dashboard is pretty much a board (albeit made from carbonfibre in some models) with instruments strewn about its surface, and you’re hemmed in by the transmission tunnel to one side and the chassis to the other. Pedal room is tight, but once you’ve got the knack they’re just right for heel-and-toe and their short actions complement the tight gearshift and rapid steering. And if you are the right shape for a Seven, then you might even find it surprisingly comfortable inside - though some of our testers complain about the lack of elbow room for changing gear and working the wheel. Design “Purposeful” is perhaps the best description of the Seven’s styling. We think it looks great, but at the same time it’s fair to say it’s not a conventionally attractive car. Oddly, it doesn’t look as old as the 60 years of its basic design, but perhaps that’s down to the car’s gradual evolution - or perhaps we’re just so used to the way it looks that the styling has taken on a completely timeless quality, not unlike that of the Land Rover Defender or the overall shape of a Porsche 911. That said, Caterham did offer a heavy rose-tinting package for your spectacles when it launched the Sprint and later the SuperSprint - stick an age-appropriate numberplate on either of these and it’ll take a connoisseur to realise they don’t hail from some time in the 1960s. Image 11 of 12 Image 11 of 12 Other Sevens embrace modernity by way of fat tyres, aggressive alloy wheel designs, bright colour schemes and optional splashes of materials like carbonfibre. There’s certainly appeal in the design from a pure engineering standpoint too, as few vehicles short of an Ariel Atom give you such a clear look at their basic mechanicals. And all Sevens stand out on the road, partly because they look hilarious among rows of bland hatchbacks and enormous SUVs, and partly because they’re still a relatively rare sight. 31 Jan 2018

Caterham Seven review - the iconic British track car is still going strong
For  The absolute definition of a sports car Against  Can be pricey; not the last word in usability Put simply, the Caterham Seven is one of evo's favourite cars. The Caterham Seven is about as close as you’ll find to a car that represents what evo is all about - the thrill of driving. From the moment you squeeze yourself into its racecar-like form to the point you climb out, windswept and possibly a little uncomfortable but grinning like a Cheshire cat, you’ll have experienced one of the most exciting cars on the road. > Best track cars That the Caterham Seven is still almost identical in concept to the Lotus Seven launched in 1957 is a testament both to Colin Chapman’s original idea and to the constant, small but important tweaks that Lotus and later Caterham have made. Engines have changed over time, different variants have improved the car’s appeal and there have been improvements to quality and reliability, but broadly the idea itself has remained constant - maximum driver interaction. In a world where every car has traction control, stability control, airbags, electric power steering and an infotainment screen the Seven is an anachronism, but what it sacrifices in usability it will always retain in the kind of driving purity that very few other modern cars can offer. The Seven is far from perfect and it’s not a car many are likely to use every day thanks to some fairly glaring limitations, but as a vehicle to squirrel away in your garage to enjoy on a sunny weekend, there’s little better. Choosing a favourite model is very difficult indeed too, thanks to Caterham’s wide range of options. Whether you want to blast along B-roads or dominate at trackdays, you’ll probably find something to suit. Caterham Seven in detail Performance and 0-60 time - Light weight means all Caterhams are quick, but the most powerful examples are terrifyingly so. Top speed of all models is limited by 1950s aerodynamics. Engine and gearbox - Plenty of choice here, from the entry-level 3-cylinder Suzuki with its notchy manual shift, to highly-strung Ford four-pots on individual throttle bodies paired with racing-style sequentials. Ride and handling - All Sevens handle beautifully. Behaviour ranges from the Goodwood Revival-style four-wheel drifts of the skinny-tyred 160s, to insane levels of grip with semi-slick-shod 620Rs. The ride is firm with all models, but not as bad as you’d expect. MPG and running costs - Outright economy varies from model to model - the 160 is very frugal indeed - and many other costs (brakes, tyres, servicing) are kept relatively low thanks to the car’s light weight and simplicity.
