Modenas CTRic (pronounced citric) has been made available for test ride at the Modenas Carnival last few week at GTMax Motor, Shah Alam. I have taken the opportunity to test ride since I have never ride an electric bike before. The test ride are great since it gives me a feel of how electric bike can deliver its power and how it is different than the normal internal combustion bike.

On the initial start up, after turning the key, there is a switch on the right hand side that we need to set to ‘D’ that refer to ‘Drive’ position. There 3 position of the switch that is D, N and R. Yes, R refer to ‘Reverse’. I don’t think the R function will be used regularly. After that has been done, the bike is now ready to go. The sound of the engine at this time is completely silent (as expected from an electric bike).   (more…)

Moto3 with 250cc 4-stroke engine are set to replace in 2012 the current 125GP 2-stroke engine. Honda has taken the step to unveil it 2012 HRC NSF250R Moto3 race bike to the world. Taking the cues from the RS125R, the design retain the sharp racy lines that looks fast even when standing still. Add little more line to the coverset, the faster it will look.

I like the fact that most of LS2 helmets features the double visor. There are two visor equipped for day and night riding. The sunvisor are placed inside the clear visor and can be instantly pop-up by using a manual switch on the bottom side of the helmet. The double visor not only appear on the full-face version but also for the open face version and motocross version. The price are also not too expensive as compared to AGV and other FF helmet. It is about RM250-500 depends on the model.
