• Lego Technic 42159 Yamaha MT-10 SP drops August 1

  In Bikes, Lifestyle, Yamaha / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 12 July 2023 4:07 pm / 1 comment

  

  Since we don’t officially get the Yamaha MT-10 in Malaysia, the Lego Technic Yamaha MT-10 SP might be the next best thing, priced at USD 239.99 (RM1,116).

  Entering public sale on August 1, this Technic set contains 1,478 pieces and joins the Lego catalogue alongside the BMW Motorrad M1000RR released in 2021.

  Measuring some 440 mm long by 150 mm wide and standing 250 mm tall, the MT-10 SP mimics a real-life MT-10 as closely as possible. This includes a replica of Yamaha’s inline four-cylinder Crossplane engine along with working three-speed transmission and chain final drive.

  Gearbox elements include a shift drum, a shift fork, a gear shift ring and a ratchet drum. Suspension operation for the front and rear is also replicated, although the Technic model eschews the real world’s electronic semi-active suspension.

  

  

  

  The model also includes functional steering via inputs to the handlebar, a side stand and a display stand. For added interaction, the Lego AR app allows you to experience your Technic model in a different way.

  Online orders for the Lego Technic Yamaha MT-10 SP opens August 1.

• BMW Motorrad presents ConnectedRide Smartglasses

  In Bike Parts and Accessories, Bikes, BMW Motorrad / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 10 July 2023 10:51 am / 1 comment

  

  Raising the tech game for motorcycle riders are the BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses, priced at 690 Euros (RM3,525). Designed to be worn inside a helmet, these smart glasses connect to the BMW Motorrad rider’s smartphone and provides a heads-up display familiar to most car drivers.

  Relevant data such as navigation, speed or gear position, is displayed inside the right lens, reducing the rider’s need to take their view off the road ahead. Location of the projected information can be changed using the the multicontroller on BMW motorcycle handlebars.

  The multicontroller also allows certain display settings to be changed. Connection to the Smartglasses is done via the rider’s smartphone and BMW Motorrad’s ConnectedRide app and Bluetooth.

  

  

  

  Using a built-in lithium-ion battery, BMW Motorrad says the Smartglasses will give up to 10 hours of use on a single-charge. Two sets of UVA/UVB lenses are supplied, 85% transparent for use with helmets with integrated sun visors and another pair of tinted lenses performing the function of sunglasses.

  For riders who use prescription glasses, an adaptor with a plus or minus 4.5 correction factor is available as an option. There are two different frames sizes – medium or large – with different nose pads and only one colour option is available, Anthracite.

• BMW Motorrad CE02 e-scooter for the young ones

  In Bikes, BMW Motorrad, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 10 July 2023 9:47 am / 2 comments

  

  Following the BMW Motorrad CE04 electric scooter (RM59,500 in Malaysia), making its debut is the 2023 BMW Motorrad CE02 electric vehicle (e-vehicle). Eschewing the terms e-bike and e-scooter, BMW Motorrad says the CE02 is an eParkourer (whatever that means, insert shoulder shrug emoji here.)

  As an electric scooter, the CE02 is designed for the urban environment with its maximum power output of 15hp. For Europe this makes the CE02 suitable for 16 years olds on learner and provisional licences to ride while a 5 hp variant is targetted at 15 year olds holding the European ‘AM’ licence.

  The full power version of the CE02 is speed limited to 95 km/h (approximately the same equivalent top speed of a Honda EX5 kapchai) and weighs 132 kg. The CE02 gets “Flow” and “Surf” riding modes as standard.

  

  

  

  “Flow” gives optimal cruising in urban traffic, while “Surf” provides a dynamic riding experience beyond the bustling city traffic which equates to “Eco” and “Sport”, respectively. Opting for the optional “Highline” module from BMW Motorrad gives “Flash” mode for better motor response at the expense of battery life.

  The Highline module also gives the optional quick charger with 1.5 kW charging power, replacing the standard 0.9 kW external charger. BMW Motorrad front wheel ABS is standard equipment with suspension done with telescopic fork in front and single shock absorber at the back.

  

  Also standard is ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and RSC (Recuperative Stability Control) as well as reverse assist for manouvering the CE02 while parking. Seat height is a low 750 mm and riding conveniences include keyless start, LED headlights including daytime running lights and side indicators.

  Necessary information is displayed on a 3.5-inch TTF-LCD screen and a USB-C socket provides power for charging the rider’s electronics. Where available, the CE02 comes loaded with BMW Motorrad Connected Services while the BMW Motorrad Connected app links the CE02 to the rider’s smartphone.

• PAS Terengganu promises interest free bike loans

  In Bikes, Local Bike News, Local News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 9 July 2023 10:00 pm / 32 comments

  

  As part of its state election manifesto, Parti Islam Se-Malaysia or PAS wants to provide interest free motorcycle loans for those earning less than RM4,000.

  This was said by party Vice President Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar during a rally in Kuala Terengganu ahead of the State Election scheduled for August 12, reports Sinar Harian.

  The interest free motorcycle loan is one of 10 election promises PAS will fulfil should it be given a continuance of its five-year mandate in governing the East Coast state.

  “In the previous 14th Malaysian General Election, PAS fulfilled all 20 of its election promises while others are still on-going,” said Ahmad Samsuri.

  Other election promises from the Islamist party include building township mosques with economic, sports, recreation, educational, community, social health and welfare facilities, according to Ahmad Samsuri.

  Other campaign promises are agriculture, livestock and fisheries aid to the tune of RM5 million, establishment of Islamic law study centres, or tafaqquh fiddin, and RM100 million to turn Terengganu into a food production resource for the country.

  Motorcycle manufacturers in Malaysia are invited to participate in the Malaysia Motorcycle Assessment Programme (MyMAP). MyMAP, conducted by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), has concluded Phase 1 with nine motorcycles in the local market awarded the five-star rating for safety technology.

  Phases 2 and 3 of MyMAP covers motorcycles above 250 cc capacity and motorcycles with combination power delivery, e.g. internal combustion, hybrids and electrics. Covering the premium and large displacement motorcycle market these phases, participation in MyMAP is currently voluntary for motorcycle manufacturers in Malaysia.

  

  According to MIROS Director for Safety Research and Biomechanics, Ts Zulhaidi Jawi, “we received many enquiries from large displacement and hybrid motorcycle makers. Because of this, we have opened Phase 3 earlier than planned.” From the press release, MIROS hopes safety technology from the big bike and hybrid segment will trickle down to the budget motorcycle segment at affordable prices.

  MIROS will continue on its mission collaborating with relevant parties to make motorcycles as a safe transportation choice for Malaysians. The full list of motorcycles with five-star MyMAP certification is available at mymap.com.my.

  The throttle-by-wire spring load has been reduced for improved linearity and response when opened, while the Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) traction control has been refined to match the increased corner exit drive.

  Three riding modes are offered as default, along with the option to adjust power, engine brake, wheelie control and HSTC traction control. A six-axis IMU managing functionality of the traction control, wheelie control and cornering ABS, as well as the HESD electronic steering damper.

  To celebrate the original Fireblade of 1992, the Limited Edition ‘Tricolour’ paint scheme is designed by Hiroaki Tsukui, who also responsible for the 1992 colour scheme. Modern look graphics are merged with ‘brushstroke’ style elements that pay homage to the original Fireblade.
