Gas-powered Runabout

IMAGINE OUR CITIESminus the smog. Imagine breathing clean air on the commute to work every morning. Although such fantasies may remain in the realm of imagination for now, clean mobility has gradually been gaining acceptance across India with electric vehicles slowly hitting the mainstream. CNG-powered vehicles have been around for some time now, with a few manufacturers offering conversion kits straight from the factory, and several more aftermarket options as well. Lovato gas kits for petrol cars have been available for many years, and the company has now started offering gas conversion kits for two-wheelers as well. It may be some time till we see a CNGpowered motorcycle, but Lovato seem to have done a great job with this Honda Activa scooter.

A Rewarding Ride

RECEIVED THE KEYS TO OUR Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 long-term test motorcycle about two months ago, and having added over 1,100 km to the odometer since then, I can safely say it is one of the most perfectly imperfect motorcycles I've lived with.
