Senzar Introduces Blind Spot Detection Tech For Bikes In A Portable Package

The system is likely to be compatible with any motorcycle.
The main radar sensors are placed on the rear end of the motorcycle.
It also features a haptic vibration unit, which goes under the seat.

A few days back, we had reported that Honda was working on a radar-equipped helmet. Other bikemakers such as Kawasaki, Suzuki and Ducati are also coming up with their own radar-based safety systems. But, most of these are still in early prototype stages, and there's some time before they debut on a production bike. However, if you don't want to wait, Senzar has you covered with its portable radar-based blind spot detection system for motorcycles.

Cub ElecParts Inc, a Taiwan-based company, has come up with this portable radar-based blind spot detection system called the Senzar Blind Spot Detection System or BDS in short. It is easy to install as well. All the rider has to do is stick the main radar sensors at the rear or on the number plate. Run the wires through the seat and connect it with the small LED lights which are placed on the rear view mirrors.

The sensors have a 30-feet scanning field and will notify the rider if any vehicle enters this field. There are two ways in which it can notify the rider - the LED lights on the mirrors will light up when the system senses an approaching vehicle. Alternatively, when the radar detects any kind of danger, the haptic sensors placed under the seat vibrate to alert the rider.

Now, coming to the not-so-sweet part, the price. The Senzar blind spot Detection System is priced at $399 (around Rs 27,864). However, the website mentions that this is introductory, and will be changed when it’s officially launched in the coming months. But, interested customers who sign up now, will get up to 50 per cent off as per the company’s pre-order deal.

Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible.

Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen. It has two themes and relays a

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed
