Bajaj Adventure Motorcycle Spotted Testing in India; Launch Expected by 2027

Bajaj Auto appears to be working on a long-awaited entry into the trending adventure motorcycle space. A heavily camouflaged test mule has been spotted on Indian roads, offering the clearest indication of the brand developing a new dual-sport motorcycle.

 

At first glance, the motorcycle ticks all the right boxes for a purpose-built dual-sport. It features a tall beak-style front fender, a slim and upright fuel tank section, and a long single-piece seat designed for both on-road comfort and off-road mobility. While the front end looks completely new, the rear section carries familiar Pulsar design cues, including the split LED taillight setup. An upswept exhaust further adds to its rugged adventure-ready stance.

With underpinnings leaning towards dual-sport intentions, the test mule was equipped with long-travel suspension, with a telescopic fork setup at the front and a monoshock with linkage at the rear. It rides on spoke wheels that appear to be 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear—a favoured setup for touring and light off-road capability.

 

While there is no information on the technical specs or cycle parts, from the looks of it, the engine casing suggests the bike could be powered by a 250cc single-cylinder motor borrowed from the Pulsar N250 with a different tune. Interestingly, the test bike was seen alongside a Pulsar N250, which further suggests the shared powertrain. The Pulsar N250’s motor is capable of churning out 24.1bhp and 21.5 Nm, which can be a ballpark figure for the upcoming dual-sport motorcycle.

Based on the proportions and silhouette of the test mule, the motorcycle appears to be close to the production-ready stage. If that is the case, one can expect Bajaj to introduce the motorcycle by late 2026 or the first quarter of 2027. In terms of segment classification, the upcoming motorcycle might be targeted at the Hero Xpulse 210 or the more premium and capable KTM 390 Enduro space.

VinFast India Hits Production Milestone; 10,000 Units Produced

VinFast has reached an important milestone in India, rolling out its 10,000th vehicle from its manufacturing facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. The achievement comes less than a year after the Vietnamese EV maker started production in India and signals that its local operations are gathering pace.

VinFast's India plant currently manufactures the VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs. While neither vehicle has become a common sight on Indian roads just yet, the Vietnamese carmaker has been steadily laying the groundwork with local manufacturing, supplier partnerships, and dealer network expansion. The Thoothukudi facility is VinFast's first manufacturing plant outside Vietnam and currently has an annual production capacity of 50,000 units. That figure can be increased significantly as demand grows.

The company has also outlined plans to increase localisation and use India as an export base for select international markets in the future. Of course, producing cars is only half the battle. The bigger challenge lies in convincing Indian buyers to choose a relatively unknown brand over established players. Sales, service support, charging infrastructure, and long-term ownership experience will ultimately decide VinFast's success story.

For now, though, crossing the 10,000-unit production milestone is a strong start and proof that VinFast's India journey is moving in the right direction.

Tata Safari EV Spied Testing; Debut Likely In 2026

Tata Motors' heavy push into the Indian EV market looks set to continue with a host of new models. Aside from the already confirmed Sierra EV and the all-new Avinya electric SUV, Tata also looks to be readying an all-electric derivative of the Safari. The electric Safari could arrive as early as late 2026, with Tata previously confirming that it would launch at least two new nameplates in India in 2026. Reports suggest the production spec Avinya is expected to arrive early next year.

Tata Safari EV spied 2

The heavily camouflaged test mule was spotted on Indian roads recently. While only visible from the rear, the housing for the rear electric motor can be clearly seen under the vehicle. Given that the Safari shares its platform with the Harrier, the Safari EV too is expected to be rear-wheel drive as standard with an option for a dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain on top variants. Battery sizes are also expected to mirror the Harrier EV's, which comes with 65 kWh and 75 kWh options. Range, however, is expected to be lower than on the Harrier given the Safari’s slightly larger dimensions and the additional weight, in part because it is a three-row SUV.

Cosmetically, not much is visible with the basic elements, such as the connected tail lamps and lower secondary lights on the bumper edges, all unchanged from the ICE Safari. The camouflage on the wheels suggests that the EV will get its own unique alloy wheels for improved aerodynamics.

 

On the tech front, the Safari EV is expected to get all the bells and whistles from the Harrier EV, including a 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen, JBL Black audio system, powered front seats with ventilation, powered boss mode, digital rear-view mirror, panoramic sunroof and more.

Keeway's First Electric Scooter For India To Feature 14-Inch Wheels And ABS; Launch In June

India's electric scooter market is set to welcome a new player next month – Keeway, which will launch the EZI Hypevolt e-scooter in June. So far, Keeway – part of Adishwar Auto Ride India (AARI), which also handles QJ Motor and Benelli – has been a fringe player in India, and has previously offered high-capacity petrol scooters such as the Vieste 300 and the Sixties 300i. However, Keeway is now introducing its first electric scooter in the Indian market, picked up from its ‘EZI’ sub-brand in China.

 

keeway ezi hypevolt electric scooter india launch in june 2026 carandbike 9

 

What is EZI?

 

To roll out a range of electric two-wheelers, Keeway founded EZI in 2020. EZI has a manufacturing facility in Ziyang, Sichuan, in China, and the brand currently produces a variety of scooters and electric motorcycles, including a scrambler, a cruiser and a maxi-scooter, among others.

 

EZI Hypevolt: Design and powertrain

 

In its design, the EZI Hypevolt may remind some of the BMW CE 04, with its long, avant-garde shape. It even has a CE 04-like bench seat, split into sections for the rider and pillion. 

 

keeway ezi hypevolt electric scooter india launch in june 2026 carandbike 8

 

The Hypevolt has split LED headlights flanked by vertical LED daytime running lights, and it will have a raised stance, as it rides on large, 14-inch alloy wheels. Seat height is 770 mm, and the scooter weighs 145 kg.

 

keeway ezi hypevolt electric scooter india launch in june 2026 carandbike 7

 

In China, the Hypevolt is available with twin 2.5 kWh batteries for a total capacity of 5 kWh. The scooter, in its home market, can be had with either a hub motor, or a mid-drive motor. Continuous output is rated at 6 kW (8 bhp) for the latter, while peak output is 12 kW (16 bhp). Top speed, as per EZI, is 115 kmph.

 

keeway ezi hypevolt electric scooter india launch in june 2026 carandbike 6

 

EZI claims the Hypevolt will have a range of up to 140 kilometres. The scooter features fast charging as well.

 

EZI Hypevolt: Safety and features

 

The Hypevolt will have disc brakes front and back, and while a variant with a combi-braking system (CBS) is offered in China, we expect the India-spec scooter to be offered with dual-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS). 

 

keeway ezi hypevolt electric scooter india launch in june 2026 carandbike 4

Other key safety equipment on the scooter includes traction control, hill descent control and hill hold control. Interestingly, in its home market, the Hypevolt is also equipped with a rear camera and a blind spot detection system, but it remains to be seen if these features are included on the India-spec scooter.

 

EZI Hypevolt: How much will it cost?

 

With the launch likely to take place in mid-June, the EZI Hypevolt will enter uncharted territory, as it is likely to be one expensive e-scooter. While it won't be as pricey as the BMW it somewhat resembles, the Hypevolt – with its twin batteries and equipment levels – is expected to cost upwards of Rs 3 lakh (ex-showroom).

All-Electric Toyota Urban Cruiser EBella E3 Variant Launched At Rs. 23.60 Lakh

Price of the long-delayed Toyota Urban Cruiser EBella has finally been announced, and the top-spec E3 variant has been launched for Rs. 23.60 lakh. Sadly, as of now the carmaker has only announced the price of the top-spec model, and prices for the lower versions – the E1 and E2, remain unknown. It appears Toyota plans to launch the other variants in a phased manner, and given how this EV has already been delayed so much, we wish that wasn’t the case.

 

The Maruti Suzuki eVitara, the EBella EV twin, has already been on sale for a while now. Interestingly, the former’s Alpha variant, the counterpart to the E3 grade of EBella, is priced at Rs. 20.1 lakh (ex-showroom) that’s a price difference of almost Rs. 3.6 lakh.

Meanwhile, the motorcycle is available in five colour options – Glossy Black, Candy Blazing Red, Matt Axis Grey, Matt Nexus Blue, and Matt Chestnut Brown.

Ultraviolette Tesseract Launch Delayed to January 2027; Significant Tech Upgrades Behind the Hold-Up

Ultraviolette Automotive has officially confirmed that the launch of the Ultraviolette Tesseract has been delayed to January 2027. The electric scooter was first showcased in March 2025, and while initial expectations pointed towards a 2026 launch timeline, buyers will now have to wait roughly another eight months before the scooter finally enters the market. The company has explained the reason for the delay is mainly due to the extensive redevelopment and engineering changes carried out on the scooter since its unveiling.

Ultraviolette Tesseract launch January 2027 carandbike 1

According to Ultraviolette, the showcased version at the time of reveal was a mid-production-ready prototype. While functional, several elements of the scooter were still under development. Since then, the company had collected feedback from over 1,000 people including existing Ultraviolette owners and prospective buyers. Based on this feedback, the Tesseract has undergone revisions in ergonomics, practicality, comfort and packaging.

Among the major changes are a redesigned seat with improved cushioning, a slimmer yet longer floorboard for better accessibility and practicality, and enhanced material quality aimed at improving long-term durability. Ultraviolette says nearly 95 per cent of the original design has still been retained.

 

However, the biggest update comes underneath the bodywork. The Tesseract will now feature India’s first 100V scooter architecture, which the brand says enables significantly higher performance and efficiency. The new platform supports higher sustained power output, improved thermal management, faster charging and more compact electronic systems.

Ultraviolette Tesseract launch January 2027 carandbike 5

The company claims the scooter produces nearly three times more power than rivals at the same price point, while also supporting charging speeds that are roughly twice as fast as the current industry average. With the upgrades, the scooter will reportedly produce around 15kW of power and offer a top speed close to 125 kmph.

 

Ultraviolette also confirmed that several technologies from the Ultraviolette F77 have been carried over, including control systems and battery architecture. Interestingly, while the F77 relies on liquid cooling, the Tesseract will use an air-cooled setup with revised axial thermal conductivity solutions for better heat dissipation.

Ultraviolette Tesseract launch January 2027 carandbike 8

While the technological upgrades sound promising, the delay also raises questions about planning and development timelines. The Tesseract was already showcased publicly over a year ago, and such extensive redevelopment after unveiling suggests the scooter may have been revealed earlier than it ideally should have been. For customers who placed bookings soon after the reveal, the prolonged wait could potentially result in booking dropouts, especially in a highly competitive EV market where newer alternatives continue to arrive rapidly.

 

Also Read: Ultraviolette To Invest Rs 200 Crore To Expand Production; Eyes Second Manufacturing Plant In Karnataka

Ultraviolette Tesseract launch January 2027 carandbike 4

Production readiness could also become another concern. Ultraviolette has signed an MoU with the Karnataka government for a new manufacturing plant that will eventually have an annual production capacity of 1,50,000 units. However, the facility is still under development and is expected to become operational around the same time as the scooter’s launch. While the company says initial production can be managed by its current facility, the possibility of delays in plant readiness could also impact the commencement of deliveries.

 

Looking ahead, the production-ready version of the Tesseract is likely to make its global appearance at EICMA before its official market launch in early 2027. Lastly, as for the Shockwave motorcycle, it will also be delayed but Ultraviolette says it will share updates on the motorcycle in the coming weeks.
