  • Davinci Motors DC100 e-bike to debut at 2023 CES

    Davinci Motors DC100 e-bike to debut at 2023 CES

    Set to debut at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, US is the Davinci DC100 electric motorcycle (e-bike). Coming in at the high-end spectrum of e-bikes, the DC100 to rival traditional 1,000 cc motorcycles in terms of performance.

    Davinci claims the DC100 has a maximum speed of 200 km/h, doing the zero to 100 km/h sprint in just over three seconds. Power is claimed to be the equivalent of 135 hp with a peak torque of 850 Nm while battery capacity is rated at 17.7 kWh.

    This gives the DC100 a published range of 400 km under New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) criteria while Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) range is rated at 357 km. The DC100 is compatible with L3 DC Fast Chargers, giving a 30 minute charging time while charging using domestic current and portable charger is also possible, albeit taking much longer.

    Davinci intends for the riding experience of the DC100 to be greatly simplified, with only the right hand used for throttle and braking. Grabbing the brake lever on the Brembo PR18 radial master cylinder activates the twin Brembo Stylema M4 four-piston callipers while the rear wheel is slowed by current reversal of the hub-mounted motor.

    Utilising Davinci’s combined braking system (CBS), the DC100 achieves the most suitable braking force distribution for every braking dynamic. The riding aids don’t stop there, with ABS and traction control coming as standard equipment.

    Also easing the rider’s burden on the DC100 is hill start assist, hill ascent control and ride assist, which controls and slowly builds speed to a max of 7 km/h, preventing abrupt starts if the throttle is twisted too quickly. There is also reverse assist, which lets the DC100 roll backwards at a controlled pace, making moving around in parking lots easier.

    Future technology for the DC100 includes self-balancing with electric power steering as well as self-riding and target recognition, where the e-bike will be able to automatically follow a target previously set by the rider. Other future functions include automatic parking and remote calling.

     
     
  • Malaysia’s Transport Ministry proposes separate motorcycle lanes on state and federal roads

    Malaysia’s Transport Ministry proposes separate motorcycle lanes on state and federal roads

    Malaysia’s Transport Ministry is proposing for separate motorcycle lanes to be implemented on all state and federal roads. This was said by ministry secretary-general Datuk Isham Ishak in a New Straits Times report.

    Currently in discussion, the proposal has been forwarded to the Local Government Development Ministry and local councils. The plan will be submitted to the National Physical Planning Council (MPFN) in 2023.

    The government aims to halve the number of road accident fatalities by 2030, under the Road Safety Plan 2022-2030 launched in January 2022. Under the safety plan, Isham said the ministry has also made it compulsory for anti-lock braking system (ABS) on all motorcycles above 150 cc in Malaysia.

    In 2020, the police recorded 418,237 road accidents, including 4,634 deaths. with 255,532 accidents and 3,302 deaths between January and September last year. However, details were not provided on vehicle types involved in the report.

  • Karak motorcycle accident stemmed from car changing lanes – police appeal for information

    Karak motorcycle accident stemmed from car changing lanes – police appeal for information

    Following the crash involving five superbikes on the Kuala Lumpur – Karak highway yesterday, police believe the incident happened when one of the motorcycles swerved to avoid a car changing lanes. According to Gombak Police District chief Assistant Commissioner Zainal Mohamed Mohamed, the incident occured at around 12.30 p.m. when the group of bikers riding large capacity motorcycles were travelling from Genting Highlands to Gombak.

    “A rider is believed to have lost control of his motorcycle when an unidentified vehicle changed direction into the lane occupied by the rider,” said Zainal. “Four other riders in the group were also involved in the accident when they were unable to avoid the first motorcycle that fell,” he said in a statement reported in Berita Harian.

    Zainal added the five riders were aged between 35 to 58 years old and suffered injuries to the head and body. “All victims were brought to Selayang Hospital and received treatment in the Red and Yellow Zones in the emergency department, Zainal said.

    Police are investigating the incident under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 which concerns careless and inconsiderate driving.

  • Heavier penalties for illegal motorcycle racing – jail term for those found guilty, RM10k fine for bike mods

    Heavier penalties for illegal motorcycle racing – jail term for those found guilty, RM10k fine for bike mods

    In a bid to curb the menace of illegal motorcycle racing, the government is planning to amend the Road Transport Act 1987 to raise the punishment for offences involving the modification of motorcycle engines and exhausts, increasing the fines for these from the RM300 at present to RM10,000.

    Additionally, those participating in illegal motorcycle racing are set to face a jail term if found guilty in court, while irresponsible parents who allow their children to modify their motorcycles for illegal racing, as well as workshop owners who carry out the task, will also be penalised.

    According to transport ministry secretary-general Datuk Isham Ishak, such action was needed to stamp out the problem, as the New Straits Times reports. He said that illegal racing should be defined more broadly than just participation in such races, and include modifying exhaust pipes and engines to ride dangerously or perform dangerous stunts on the road.

    “It is necessary to raise the fines because many youngsters blatantly break the law and join motorcycle races nowadays. They can afford to pay the RM300 fine, and that is why we propose to push the penalty to RM10,000 to raise awareness about the dangers of illegal racing,” he said.

    He added that parents who allow their children to use bikes for illegal racing and workshop owners who modify the bikes will also be slapped with compounds.

    Isham said that the proposed amendments are set to be tabled in parliament in the third quarter of next year. Currently, it was at the “good regulatory practice” stage, involving a series of engagements and consultations with stakeholders.

    He said that this was being done because the ministry wanted to ensure that the law could be implemented effectively after taking into account the views of all parties. “We do not want to make a U-turn after introducing the new regulations. We want them to be implemented effectively with the support of a majority of stakeholders,” he explained.

    He added that while effective enforcement was crucial to curbing road accidents that involved motorcycles, raising the penalties would provide a further avenue to help tackle the issue.

     
     
  • Miros and PLUS looking for Malaysian motorcycle riders to test MCAS collision warning system

    Miros and PLUS looking for Malaysian motorcycle riders to test MCAS collision warning system

    After constructing a prototype and conducting early phase testing, the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (MIROS) is ready to perform real world testing of its Motorcycle Collision Avoidance System (MCAS). Jointly developed with highway concessionaire PLUS, public are invited to participate in the MCAS test via this form.

    In the interests of research, MIROS has determined certain criteria for participation which requires answering a series of questions such as background, riding habits, views on road safety and others. Going by the questionnaire, MIROS is selecting riders who use a motorcycle for transport on highways on a regular basis for commuting and work in and around the Klang Valley, Kedah and Penang.

    A MIROS statement in early 2021 detailed the use of MCAS, saying the system is capable of detecting the vehicles in front and warning riders to avoid collisions even at high speed. While collision avoidance technology is not new – combined with adaptive cruise control and distance keeping, coming standard on the Ducati Multistrada V4, BMW R1250 RT and Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+, MIROS says its system is low cost and easily installed on current motorcycle models.
