S340- The future of the Indian electric mopads.

Today, the rend is rapidly changing the trend of electric mobility and is taking us a step closer toward an electric future with everyday. Almost all the market leaders are trying to gain this opportunity with many new players coming in the market. Tesla has almost revolutionised the future of electric mobility with its extraordinary models. Even the companies from the Lamborghini to the Porsche are also developing their versions of electric beasts. Almost, all the researches are being focussed toward the cars but there are few which are targetting the other segments and the two-wheeler market is one of them. In India too, there are few players who are targetting the two wheeler segments. Ather Energy is one such name which is aiming to change the future of mopads( two-wheelers) in the Indian markets.

 Ather energy is basically an India based startup focussed on building the first smart electric two-wheeler of India, the S340. Founded in 2013, Ather Energy is the brainchild of IIT graduates Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain. Planning for its first official launch in 2018, the startup was funded by the Tiger Global and the Flipkart founders Sachin and Binny Bansal. Soon the startup gained traction and the Hero MotoCorp funded the Ather Energy.

The Ather Energy is focussing on the in-house manufacturing of the required components like the lithium-ion battery pack, Battery Management System, etc. The awesome features of the product are an outcome of the basic researches of the team which revealed the reasons behind the earlier e-bikes which were the limited speed, range etc.

The S340 is offering a top speed of 72 kmph with a 3kW motor and 40Ah battery pack which is related to the nomenclature of the scooter. The scooter features a digital touchscreen dashboard, a lightweight aluminium chassis with a total range of up to 60 km. The innovation has also been achieved in the charging time after which it offers a 80% charging in 50 mins. There are many cool stuffs like the user can create his own user profile on the dashboard, select between sports and economy modes and many other cooler stuffs.


Looking to these cooler stuffs, it seems that the S340 is going to change the future of two-wheeler segment in India.

Faster than the Fastest production car of the world

One thing about which almost every sports car freak is crazy is their mind-blowing speed. It doesn't matter if you could ever achieve that speed on road or not but you'd always desire to boast those numbers among your friends and groups. So fellas, what do you think? Which car should be the fastest car?  Well, you might be thinking about the  Bugatti Veyron Super-sport or the newly unveiled Chiron. But actually, it's not the case. T hey hold the record of the fastest production car according to the Guinness Book of World Records officially but the “ Hennessey Venom GT ” by Hennessey Performance Engineering is unofficially the fastest car at a whopping speed of “270.49 MPH”. Yeah you read it right. It's 435.11 km/h. To make a claim for Guinness Record for fastest production car the company has to at least make 30 cars, while the company has decided to make only 29 cars which is a bit funny. And this company does not make the whole car, they just tune the engine and...

Hydrogen Fuel - The Fuel of the Future

                                                                               As we often hear in our day to day lives, the availability of fuels is decreasing day by day and the biggest concern in automobile is pollution due to these fuels, so the new idea and search comes for zero pollution as well as the better availability, renewability and efficiency too. Although, many researches are going on for the alternate fuels but one of the most promising fuel source is Hydrogen which can produce an abundant amount of energy and that too with zero emissions. Hydrogen may seem to be very abundant but pure hydrogen is not naturally available on earth in large quantity. So, electrolysis and steam-methane reforming processes are methods to produce hydrogen. In electrolysis, the electri...

Muscle Cars - The raw and untamed beasts

Image
Almost every youth on the planet loves speed, obviously after the “Fast & Furious” and “Need for Speed” movies. But when it comes to defining the Muscle car, the things get a bit complicated. As the name suggests, the built up of this automobile is taken care, not only from within but also from the exterior parts. As per American norms, a muscle car can be defined as a two door; rear wheel drive, mid-size cars with powerful engines. These cars are considered as high-performance vehicles compared to other normal ones. Comparison between a muscle car and a sports car:- ·         Engine :- A muscle car uses a V8 engine while an engine of a sports car may be small but is quick. Thus the engine of muscle car is powerful while the same of sports car is quick ·         Bodies :- The muscle cars are made up with lots of curves while a sports car is built with an aim of reducing the force that is appl...
