Sultan asks traders to fear God as Ramadan approaches

Motorcycle Price

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Abubakar III, has asked traders not to raise food prices as the month of Muslim fasting approaches.

“I use this medium to call on all merchants who sell things to be afraid of what Almighty God will ask of them when they come to him on the day of judgment,” Mr Abubakar said.

He said traders should instead reduce commodity prices to receive God’s blessings.

“Instead of raising the prices of foodstuffs and other necessities, try to lower the prices in order to gain the blessing of Almighty God,” he said.

The Sultan made the call in Bauchi on Saturday following a week-long 2022 nationwide Quran recitation competition organized by the Bauchi State Government in collaboration with Usman Dan Fodio University in Sokoto.

He stressed the need for traders to be wary of judgment day and avoid extortion from bosses.

The sultan, who is also the general chairman of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, called on governments at all levels to devise measures to reduce the cost of living in the country.

“I think it is up to all of us to work together and bring this rising cost of food down to affordable levels so that we can all have a successful Ramadan.

“I think it’s not too much to ask of the government after all, we elected you to serve us and not for us to serve you,” the sultan said.

Muslims around the world will observe a 30-day fasting period (Ramadan) starting in April.

In car racing and in business, keep your weight to a minimum

Motorcycle Business

Mike O’Donnell is a professional director, writer and animator, and a regular opinion contributor.

OPINION: Last weekend the Wellington Car Club held their annual Mt Victoria Hill Climb race in Wellington. Fifty-five cars showed up for the event and 44 finished, including your humble scribe and his daughter in their aging Honda EK9.

Mount Victoria Hill Climb is steeped in history. The club itself is 75 years old and the event has been around since 1959. Town center motorsport events were once common throughout New Zealand, today they are rare.

The other three – the Mt Victoria Hill Climb, the Cemetery Circuit in Wanganui and the Port Nelson Street Race – rely on friendly local councils and very well organized clubs.

The two fastest cars this year were two massively powered Mazda RX7s, but hot on their heels were two Semog cross cars.

Cross cars (or cross karts as they are also called) are a cross between a go-kart and a circuit sprint car, and feature a 750cc motorcycle engine in a super lightweight single-seater frame. They only produce 150 horsepower, but that’s a lot when the cars themselves only weigh around 300 kilograms.

Basically, it gives a power-to-weight ratio akin to dropping a Ferrari V12 in your grandma’s Honda Jazz.

Kevin Stent / Stuff

“Add less weight. In other words, look to reduce your overhead and control your costs,” says Mike O’Donnell.

So they are very fast. The two who blasted Mount Victoria last Sunday left the ground repeatedly as gravity struggled to keep the mechanical roadrunners on the road.

Fifty years ago, Lotus founder Sir Colin Chapman said the secret to making cars fast and nimble was to “add less weight”. Chapman noted that adding power makes you faster on the straights, but slower everywhere else. But subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere – straights, turns and twists.

It’s a timely metaphor because after three years of pandemic-assisted financial ‘right-wing’, Aotearoa is about to have its share of twists and turns.

After seemingly unlimited cheap money – both borrowed money and money given as Covid-19 grants – it’s going to get much more expensive.

After controlling the official exchange rate at 0.25% for three years, there have been three increases in the past six months. And more on the way.

Meanwhile, New Zealand’s number one get-rich-quick scheme (owning a home and seeing the value soar) is now set to drop 10% next year.

Inflation is hovering at 6% (the highest in 30 years) and the ANZ predicts it will reach a staggering 7.4% by the middle of the year. This means that the real value of consumers’ net wages takes a real hit.

As another supermarket shopper pointed out to me last week, it looks like everything in the store went up $2 in a week.

And don’t even mention gasoline, which is expected to hit $4 a liter by the end of the year.

Going back to the fundamentals, this means businesses will feel the effect of consumers having less money to spend in real terms and feeling much less wealthy in their minds with falling house prices.

We will all pay a lot more to service their mortgages. Five-year mortgage rates are already well over 5%. This is going to be a bit of a shock to people who bought a new home for less than 3%.

The other thing businesses will feel is how much they will have to pay just to operate. During Covid, businesses were able to access the Business Finance Guarantee Scheme which lent working capital at rates of around 2.5%, with the government stepping in to cover 80% of the costs if lenders defaulted.

In contrast, last week two companies I work with were notified by their banks that new commercial lending rates had moved north of 10%.

Global bond markets are also starting to price in a recession in the United States due to overly aggressive credit tightening by the US Federal Reserve as it attempts to control inflation.

Put it all together and New Zealand business faces an uncertain few years, with many twists and turns. As ANZ economics ace Sharon Zollner said, the party is over.

In this environment, Chapman’s advice rings true. Add less weight. In other words, seek to reduce your overhead and control your costs.

That’s because in an uncertain world, you simply can’t control your income. You can plan, market, hope and pray. But ultimately, it’s out of your hands.

On the other hand, you can control costs, so that’s where companies need to focus. Reduce fixed costs and eliminate unnecessary variable costs. As part of that, keep an old-fashioned eye on cash flow.

It’s great to have a good business on the right track, but if you can’t pay your monthly bills, you’ll never achieve that success.

My favorite car on the hill climb was a 55-year-old Hillman Imp, driven like an absolute demon by James Sillay. The car was so light that after finishing the race, Sillay simply hoisted it onto the back of a truck and drove home.

In cars as in business, lightness and longevity are directly linked. In the difficult times to come, this will only increase, I think.

Car sales defy Covid-fueled price spike to rise 14%

Car sales rose 14% last year, defying a record rise in vehicle prices amid a recovery from the economic woes of Covid-19.

Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that the number of newly registered units rose to 107,499 units last year from 94,128 the previous year.

The uptick came in a year when prices for second cars rose as much as 52% due to a combination of factors including expensive units in source markets like Japan, a weakened shilling against the dollar, and supply issues due to coronavirus restrictions.

Expensive cars were expected to dampen demand in an economy that has yet to fully recover from the effects of Covid-19 that triggered layoffs, job cuts and business closures.

This is a recovery from the performance recorded in 2020, when sales fell 16.5% from 109,751 the previous year due to shipping problems caused by the closure of ports in countries like Japan.

“People had been adopting a wait-and-see attitude in 2020 because of Covid, but since last year things have started to pick up and sales are getting back to normal,” Charles Munyori, secretary general of the Kenya Auto Bazaar Association, who represents used car dealerships.

Kenya eased restrictions that were imposed to curb the spread of the coronavirus last year, marking the start of economic recovery as businesses resumed hiring and ended pay cuts, which in turn increased the purchasing power.

Prices of popular Japanese models for 2014 such as Toyota Harrier, Toyota Fielder, Toyota Rav 4, Toyota Premio and Nissan X-Trail have increased by a range between 200,000 and 600,000 shillings since April last year.

Shipments were halted for most of 2020 after source markets like Japan closed ports due to bans on travel and social gatherings, causing shipment delays for months.

The closure has also led to increased shipping costs as shipping companies have raised prices due to limited spaces resulting in record prices for used cars which are popular in Kenya especially with the middle class.

Japanese cars dominate the Kenyan used car market, with over 80% market share.

Motorcycle registrations also rose as the economic recovery took hold in one of the country’s most popular modes of transportation. KNBS data shows motorcycle registrations rose 15% to 285,203 units from 246,705 a year earlier.

Motorbikes are preferred for their ability to avoid traffic jams and low fares in urban centers, which makes them convenient, especially during peak hours on the roads.

Do you remember the German motorcycle brand Zundapp? It’s an e-bike manufacturer now

Motorcycle Brand

Many great motorcycle manufacturers of the past have fallen into oblivion and the abyss of memory. Brands like Vincent, Matchless and, more recently, Victory Motorcycles have all either gone out of business altogether or shrunk so much that they are barely a specification in the motorcycle industry. Other brands like Norton and Benelli have revived with the help of the Chinese, with the latter having great success in doing so.

You may or may not be familiar with Zundapp, a German motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1917. The brand played a major role in moving troops during the war, especially with the KS 750 sidecar, and even had a few models notable streets over the years. who followed. The German brand finally closed in 1984 and has since remained defunct, albeit among enthusiasts and collectors who carry on the company’s legacy through their projects and collections.

Interestingly, however, the brand seems to have made a comeback in the e-bike world. Yes, the Zundapp Z801, its flagship model, is an e-MTB that certainly sounds like fun to ride. Italian motorcycling publication Moto.IT found the bike for sale on several e-commerce platforms with a retail price of 2,099 euros, or about $2,372. However, German retail group Lidl is selling the Z801 for an even lower price of just 899 euros, or around $1,015, less than half the recommended list price, and certainly a bargain.

Now I hear you, e-bikes are surely a far cry from the glorious world of motorcycles, aren’t they? Well, if the future is any indication, it’s that electric is the way to go. In fact, major motorcycle brands such as Yamaha, Ducati, and BMW have gone ahead and introduced their own electric bikes. I might be stepping out on a limb here, but who knows, maybe Zundapp could eventually roll out an electric scooter, or maybe even a full-fledged electric motorcycle?

Looking at things as they are now, the Zundapp Z801 is sure to be a fun ride. It is powered by a 250 W electric motor with pedal assistance and a 480 Wh lithium-ion battery. It offers a range of up to 125 kilometers and fully charges in about five hours. An aluminum frame keeps the bike relatively light, while a combination of kit and drivetrain components from well-known cycling brands such as Shimano, Prowheel and Neco come standard. It even comes with a nifty handlebar-mounted dashboard that lets you toggle the level of pedal assist, see how far you’ve traveled, as well as the status of the bike’s battery.

This New Namibian Bike Brand Has The Best Vibes

Motorcycle Brand

Dan Craven is a former professional cyclist from Namibia. When he was done with his racing days, he knew he wanted to do something…more. So he helped set up a frame-building workshop in his hometown of Omaruru, teaching Namibians how to build beautiful steel bicycles.

A decade later, these bikes are ready for prime time and a potential source of well-paying jobs for locals. Craven launched a new brand called Onguza, led by builders Petrus Mufenge and Sakaria Nkolo. Here, Craven explains:

“Does the world really need another brand of bicycle? No. But my hometown, Omaruru, yes.
Namibia is a land of talented designers stuck in low-value jobs. Many struggle to find work outside the agricultural labor force. Building world-class steel bikes is a high-value craft that matches the quality of their craftsmanship.

From the start, I knew we could build bikes as good as the best steel frame builders in the world. But it became clear that this was not enough.

What do you imagine when you hear “African bicycles”? Chances are you weren’t thinking of a world-class luxury bike. And you are not alone. We need to change the way people perceive products made in Namibia – and in Africa as a whole. Name a luxury brand from the African continent…? We have our work cut out.

Our first builders, Petrus Mufenge and Sakaria Nkolo, build world-class steel-framed bikes on a dusty farm in Namibia. This may be the last place you would expect to see anything extraordinary from. But we do. And I need your help, so please come with us on this journey.

We’re super thrilled with the vibes that emanate from the initial images.

Motorcycle Sale

Are you looking for a dirt bike or a boat?

The feds might not be the first place you’d think to look for a deal on either, but they happen to be auctioning off both this month in BC

Some of the items listed could also be confiscated property obtained by local, state and federal law enforcement – ​​including jewelry and appliances, among other items.

Browsers can search by keyword or by category of articles. For example, in the more eastern provinces, several cars are listed, including a used Mercedes-Benz for which bids on Tuesday were $23,800.

A buyer wishing to export his purchase outside of Quebec could try to beat a bid of $2,895 for two electric motorcycles and a “small electric car”, all three are certified for a non-Canadian market and may not be registered or resold in Canada.

The list does not go into detail, but says the items were forfeited to the Crown, suggesting they were obtained through a police investigation.

In a category entitled “Textiles, leathers, furs, clothing and footwear”, a distressed pair of jeans from a brand that charges up to $1,600 had a Tuesday afternoon maximum bid of $300.

New energy motorcycle replacement program with 170 initial applications

Motorcycle Business

Some 170 requests have been received by the authorities for a financial support plan for owners of traditional fossil fuel motorcycles who decide to replace them with new electric motorcycles.

Under the plan of the Environmental Protection Fund and the Bureau of Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection (DSPA), some 3,500 MOP are directly provided for each motorcycle handed over for disposal and replaced by a new registered electric motorcycle.

Coupled with the tax exemptions for the new electric vehicle, the maximum amount of financial aid to be granted and exemption costs is a total of MOP 8,800.

“The DSPA and the Fund are speeding up the processing of applications as well as their review and approval. Some applicants have already been notified that the grant of financial assistance has been approved and have scheduled the delivery of obsolete motorcycles to be scrapped at the designated location,” DSPA noted.

The first 27 motorcycles included in the program will be handed over to the DSPA from today at a special collection point located at the intersection between Avenida 1.º de Maio and Avenida da Ponte da Amizade, in side of the Macau Peninsula sewage treatment plant.

After the delivery of the vehicle, the applicant must also submit an application for registration of the new electric motorcycle, purchased to replace the obsolete motorcycle, to the Traffic Affairs Bureau within 165 days of receiving notification from the granting of financial assistance.

In turn, the DSPA, within 60 days of confirming the conclusion of the aforementioned vehicle scrapping and replacement procedure, will allocate the financial support to the beneficiary.

The period of application of the scheme runs from March 1 to December 31 this year, covering vehicles registered until June 30, 2009.
