Xiaomi Himo T1 Unveiled

  • Xiaomi has launched the Himo T1 only in China, but you can order it in India through the company’s Chinese e-commerce website.
  • It gets an all-LED headlight.
  • The digital instrument cluster displays information like battery percentage, speed and time.

Till date, we have seen Xiaomi making phones and other electronic equipment which are affordable and packed with features. However, the Chinese company is expanding its portfolio and has decided to enter into electric mobility. We have already seen the all-electric bicycle, the Himo C20, which costs $375 (around Rs 26,000) and has a claimed range 80km. Now, Xiaomi has launched a new electric vehicle called the Himo T1. While the previous Himo models were all-electric bicycles, the T1 is an all-electric moped. And as you would’ve guessed it, this one too comes at an affordable price of just $450 (around Rs 31,477, excluding Indian taxes).

The Himo T1 features an LED headlight and an all-digital instrument cluster which displays information such as battery percentage, speed, time and more. The e-moped is powered by a 14Ah battery that holds 672Wh of charge. However, the company is also offering a bigger 28Ah battery as an optional extra. The standard variant has a claimed range of 60km. But with the bigger battery, it is good to go for 120km on a single charge.

Suspension duties are taken care of by conventional forks at the front and dual coilovers at the rear. The front gets disc brakes but at the rear, you get a cable-actuated drum brake and regenerative braking via the in-wheel motor. Xiaomi hasn’t revealed the Himo T1’s top speed or weight, but China’s new law on electric bicycles states that they must have a minimum top speed of 25kmph and should weigh at least 55kg. So, we expect that the Himo T1 to match these figures.
Just like the Himo C20, the T1 is also a China-only product. But fret not -- if you really want one in India, you can order the electric moped through Xiaomi’s Chinese e-commerce website. Of course, you might have to pay a small premium for this import.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

BMW Motorrad Showcases Radical Electric Vision DC Roadster

The Vision DC Roadster takes the brands iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine design and gives it a rather interesting twist.  The design was inspired by the BMW R 32 developed by Max Friz in 1923. BMW has also designed a two-piece functional suit that looks like a casual jacket and black trousers. BMW Motorrad is no newcomer to electric vehicles. We’ve already seen the brands Vision Next 100 concept which gave a glimpse of the company’s future vision. Now though, BMW intends to change our outlook on electric two-wheelers which are more often than not perceived as boring. And they plan on doing so with the Vision DC Roadster, an all-electric bike that gives the word unconventional a whole new meaning. The design team started off by taking its iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine and giving it a rather interesting twist. The idea was to retain its protruding design but incorporate it in an electric motor. The challenge was its packaging. You see, in an IC engine, the size of the motor ...
