The Aventon Pace 500 e-bike combines comfort and power in a rugged frame that won’t break the bank.

The bicycle as a means of transportation is not new, and the United States is probably the furthest behind in maintaining it as a regular form of transportation. Here in northeast Tennessee, we’re just getting used to the painted bike lanes all over our city.

We are not BicycleInsider. This review is not painted as “by bike experts, for bike experts”, but rather as an introduction for newcomers to e-bikes and the Aventon Pace 500. From what we’ve seen , the Aventon Pace 500 is a great introduction to the e-bike phenomenon.

Aventon Pace 500 Electric Bike Design and Features

The Aventon Pace 500 is a step-over cruiser frame with swept handlebars. It weighs 52 pounds, can reach up to 28 miles per hour with pedal assist, and has a range of 25 to 48 miles on a single charge.

It has eight gears with five levels of pedal assist. It has a weight limit of 300 pounds.

50726-99996-display-xl

Display shows current speed and battery information

A digital display shows information such as speed, range, remaining battery and pedal assist level. There’s also a hidden USB-A port to connect and charge your phone if needed.

Integrated headlights and taillights turn on at the press of a button. The taillights come on when the brake levers are pulled.

The pedal-assist controller is located on the left handlebar, right next to the throttle. Buttons for powering the bike, toggling the lights and controlling the level of throttle assist are here.

50726-99995-controller-xl

Controller offers quick access to pedal assist and light control settings

The throttle lever is next to the controller and can be easily pressed with your thumb. It is useful for starting from a stop and accelerating on demand without pedalling.

The battery is integrated into the frame with a charging port at the top. The 500W motor is in the rear wheel and does not stand out.

The crossbar design reminds us of the bikes we rode as kids. It’s a classic design and feels sturdy when driving around town.

Assembly, riding and maintenance of the Aventon Pace 500 electric bike

I was a bit intimidated when I took up cycling again at 31. The Navy did a number on my joints and my back, but maybe that’s why I was the perfect candidate to try Aventon’s bike. Low impact exercise and pedal assist have made this a much more accessible activity.

If biking is something you are interested in for exercise, commuting, or even just for fun, the Aventon Pace 500 has proven to be a great option. There are lighter e-bikes out there, but we think this one is the perfect combination of size, range and durability.

Assembly

The Aventon Pace 500 arrived in a few boxes and required assembly. It didn’t take long and the instructions were simple.

All the necessary parts and tools were included in the box, and an official YouTube video guided the process. The front wheel had to be fixed, the handlebars adjusted and the battery inserted.

After inflating the tires and checking the seat position, it was ready to roll. Note that we’ve added a few accessories to this bike, a MagSafe mount keeps our iPhone in place and visible on the handlebars, and an AirTag is hidden in a reflector under the seat.

The battery takes between 3 and 7 hours to recharge. It doesn’t have battery memory issues, so recharging after every ride is recommended.

Driving the Aventon Pace 500

Once we got used to having a throttle and pedal assist, the ride came pretty naturally. The brakes felt good and brought the bike to a stop quickly, then the throttle got our ride back on track quickly.

The screen clearly displays the necessary information, even in direct sunlight. As we drove through town, we could see exactly how fast we were going and the slowly decreasing battery level.

50726-100001-shifter-xl

Eight-speed shifter is simple to use

After driving through town to a local seafood restaurant, it showed we had done nine miles and had about 70% battery left. This corresponded to the nominal range of 40 miles.

It’s not a sport bike, so there are no shocks to soak up the bumps. We could feel every big bump and crack in the road.

The seat is comfortable, but takes some getting used to. We were certainly sore after the first two long drives.

The bike runs perfectly and makes a pleasant rumble when the engine is running. It’s not noisy but audible in quiet places.

50726-99998-motor-xl

The motor is enclosed in the housing of the rear wheel

Speed ​​increases rapidly as you increase pedal assist levels. Being able to hit 20 MPH with just a few pedal strokes is quite exhilarating.

Although we wouldn’t recommend repeating this for obvious safety reasons, we also ridden gravel trails with the Pace 500. Parts of the nature trail near our house are gravel rather than paved. The bike was able to propel us, pedal assisted, up a small, sloping gravel trail with no problem.

If the bike detects a loss of traction, the pedal assist feature will turn off abruptly. The bike handled the gravel path without issue during our multiple passes, and the tires held up well.

50726-99997-gravel-xl

Riding on a gravel road is difficult but possible

On paved roads, the bike works perfectly. It glides smoothly over pavement with little effort and makes slight inclines feel like nothing with pedal assist.

It’s an e-bike with electric components and a motor, but rain isn’t an issue – we got caught in a downpour while riding. However, Aventon cautions against prolonged exposure or use of vehicle mounts during rainstorms.

Aventon rates this e-bike at a top speed of 28 MPH. We got close to that number, but you’ll need to pedal pretty hard at the highest gear with Level 5 pedal assist to hit it. Our usual top speed was around 20 MPH.

Maintenance

Unlike some of the things we looked at for AppleInsider, the Aventon Pace 500 is a machine that requires regular maintenance. Aventon recommends weekly and monthly checks.

50726-99999-outside-xl

Regular maintenance ensures proper operation

Like any bike, it requires regular checks on parts tension, chain stretch and lubrication, and wiring integrity. The homeowner can easily perform basic cleaning and checks using the tools in the box.

Brake pads, shift cables and tires may need to be replaced from time to time. In this case, it may be best to find an e-bike specialist to do the job for you. We certainly will be.

App Connectivity and Apple Health

The Aventon e-bike offers a connected app experience. It provides trip data, measurements of total trip time and distance, and can even record a trip.

50726-100003-aventon-app-xl

The Aventon app has some interesting data, but it’s isolated without Apple Health support

The app connects to the bike via Bluetooth. The app should remain open for accurate tracking during a ride.

The Aventon app has a built-in community where users share photos and bike ride stats. The app’s features may be interesting and useful for some, but it wasn’t something we were interested in.

Instead, we relied on the workout tracking on the Apple Watch. After a few moments of riding, the Apple Watch would detect a bike ride and offer to follow it.

50726-100004-bike-health-xl

Tracking bike rides with Apple Watch yields useful health metrics

The Apple Health and Fitness tracking metrics are far superior to those offered by the Aventon app. This is due to user health tracking rather than just cycling.

We’d be more interested in the Aventon app if it had Apple Health integration. This would combine our training tracked on Apple Watch with accurate bike data from Aventon for a better data set.

It’s unlikely that Aventon will ever implement such features, so we’ll stick with Apple Health. The Apple Watch can even intelligently determine whether the cyclist is on an e-bike with pedal assistance or not.

Should you buy the Aventon Pace 500?

The Aventon Pace 500 has a low-end price for e-bikes, but still has everything you need. It has a powerful, long-range motor and durable construction.

50726-99994-brakes-xl

The Aventon Pace 500 is a great e-bike for first-time buyers

Like any vehicle, e-bikes can range from minimal specs and builds to high-end luxury appliances. We’ve seen prices ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 across the spectrum of features and designs.

The Pace 500 lands in a good spot. It’s not in the cheapest bracket, for good reason, but it’s not too expensive at $1,699.

We think this is a great option for new e-bike owners.

Aventon Pace 500 Advantages

  • 40 mile long range
  • Fast at a top speed of 28 MPH
  • Solid frame, good tires
  • Bright display
  • Easy-to-reach controls, throttle

Aventon Pace 500 Cons

  • Heavy at 52 pounds, but not too heavy
  • Virtually no shock absorption
  • Aventon app is too basic, not integrated with Apple Health

Rating: 4 out of 5

It’s a great e-bike, and if we were rating it on the bike alone, we’d probably rate it closer to 5 out of 5.

However, this is a technology website, and the technology is lacking here. The connected Aventon app experience requires a serious upgrade and link with Apple Health.

Where to buy the Aventon Pace 500 electric bike

The Aventon Pace 500 is available on the Aventon website. There are two color options – SoCal Sand and Midnight Black.

There are two frame sizes depending on the height of the user, Regular and Large. Both cost the same amount.

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 vs Kawasaki Versys 650: price, specs and hardware compared

Motorcycle Price

The Kawasaki Versys 650 is pretty well established as a road-focused adventure tourer. The youngest on the block is the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 which will take on the Versys 650.

The two road-oriented adventure hikers are radically different from each other.

The adventure hiker segment has grown a lot in recent years. Triumph has launched its Tiger Sport 660 which is also called the “Baby Tiger”. One of its biggest rivals to the Tiger Sport 660 is the Kawasaki Versys 650 which was also updated fairly recently. Here is a comparison between the Tiger Sport 660 and the Kawasaki Versys 650.

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 vs. Kawasaki Versys 650: Design

The Tiger 660 is unlike the larger Tiger motorcycles. It looks sporty and more suitable for the road. The bike is sleeker and more compact than some of the other road-focused ADVs. The one-piece saddle is long and must provide enough space for the rider.

The updated Versys 650 looks sharper but still retains some inspiration from the Versys 1000. It looks aggressive and the large fairing adds to the big bike feel and more road presence. The bike comes with 17 inch wheels which might seem a bit small on such a big bike.

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 vs. Kawasaki Versys 650: Specs

In terms of power, the Tiger 660 is ahead of the Versys 650. Both engines use a 6-speed gearbox but Triumph offers a quick-shifter as an accessory.

The Tiger uses a 660cc inline 3-cylinder engine that produces 82bhp of peak power and 64Nm of peak torque. The Versys 650 uses a 649cc parallel-twin engine that produces 66bhp of peak power and 61Nm of peak torque.

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 vs. Kawasaki Versys 650: Hardware

The Tiger 660 comes with two 310mm discs up front and a 255 disc in the rear. It gets a 17.2 liter fuel tank with a seat height of 835mm. The ground clearance of the Tiger Sport 660 is 162 mm and its curb weight is 206 kg.

The Versys 650 uses a dual 300mm disc up front and a 250mm disc out back. The fuel tank is larger as it measures 21 liters and the seat height is 840 mm. The ground clearance is 170 mm and the motorcycle weighs 218 kg. Additionally, Versys gets adjustable Showa suspension front and rear.

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 vs. Kawasaki Versys 650: Price

The Versys 650 begins to ₹7.36 lakh (ex-showroom) as the Tiger Sport 660 starts at ₹8.95 lakh (old showroom).

Sale of Navratri vehicles in Pune doubled from last year

Motorcycle Sale

Many Punekars returned home with new vehicles during Navratri and Dussehra festival. Vehicle registration nearly doubled from a year earlier during the festive season, officials from the Pune Regional Transport Office (RTO) said.

According to Pune RTO data, a total of 9,665 vehicles were registered between September 26 and October 5 this year. During this period, the highest number of vehicles registered were two-wheelers at 5,914, followed by four-wheelers at 2,984. Compared to last year, a total of 4,330 new vehicles were registered during Navratri.

“Compared to last year, vehicle registrations have doubled this year and more registrations were for cars and motorbikes. People are traveling more now after the pandemic, restrictions have eased and there is a demand for vehicles across the segment,” said Sanjeev Bhor, Deputy Regional Transport Officer.

Mandar Badale who bought a new car on the auspicious day of Dussehra said, “I had booked an electric car and was supposed to be delivered before Navratri but waited for Dussehra. There was a big crowd at the showroom.

Ramesh Joshi, manager of a two-wheeler showroom in the city, said: “Before the Navratri festival started, there were heavy bookings in our showroom and everyone wanted delivery during these nine days of festival. Maximum deliveries were expected on Dussehra and in our showroom we delivered over 100 bikes in a single day.

… | 10 Motorcycles You Probably Forgot Were Still For Sale

Motorcycle Sale

We are all individuals, we as a capitalist society like choice and we like to think that our consumption choices reflect that.

The same can be said for motorcyclists – after all, who don’t like to shop for that next new pride and joy.

And yet, we’re also used to being habitual, with many of us heading in a predictable direction when it comes to motorcycle shopping.

Models like the BMW R 1250 GS/Adventure, Yamaha MT-07, Triumph Trident and Royal Enfield Meteor 350 have become familiar landmarks on the road… but have you ever wondered “what happened to this or that model?

You know, motorcycles were launched with great fanfare and brag, only to be overshadowed and overlooked when it came to exchanging money…

Something like these 10 motorcycles, which you might be surprised to learn, are actually still available to buy all shiny and new right now…

Honda NC750X

With annual sales of nearly 30 million, it’s rare that you get a motorcycle from Honda that we can never be entirely sure is still available until we check out the website, but the Honda NC750X in is an example.

Dubbed an “adventure motorcycle” by Honda, the fact that it looks instantly out of place next to the Africa Twin and even the X-ADV scooter says a lot about the NC750X’s confused positioning in the lineup.

In reality, the NC750X – the only NC model remaining after the removal of the standard 750 – is better suited as a “Touring” bike that just happens to get its boots a little muddy from time to time. It’s a nice look – more attractive than the Honda NT 1100, anyway – practical and looks solid… but it’s as unremarkable as most ‘does what it says on the tin’ Hondas.

With the aforementioned NT launch already rendering the NC750X redundant, the incoming Transalp ADV – built on an all-new 755cc twin platform – will likely kill the NC750X softly early in the year.

Suzuki Katana

It was one of the most anticipated motorcycle launches of 2018…but just four years later, you’d be hard pressed to spot the modern reimagining of the Suzuki Katana on the roads.

With a look considered both futuristic and genre-defining at the time of its launch, the original 1981 Katana has become part of motorcycle lore. Indeed, while the Katana divided opinion when it was first revealed, today it is remembered as groundbreaking, even extravagant.

So it’s ironic that today’s reboot is largely overlooked for the exact opposite in being, well, forgettable.

While many of the original features – such as the square headlight and nose section, partial fairing – remain intact, the 1981 Katana was truly a modern-looking motorcycle of its day, while the modern version looks dated rather than retro.

If Suzuki had stuck to its guns and produced something similar to the Katana-inspired Stratosphere concept, then we think the outcome might have been very different.

BMW R 1250 R

It’s a little strange to include Europe’s best-selling motorcycle on a list of forgotten models, but such is the ubiquity of the GS and GS Adventure variants, it’s fair to say that the other spin-offs don’t get not much attention. .

With the RT version, the R 1250 GS seems forever destined to be so associated with these three models that the other two – the RS and the R – barely see it.

The flagship of BMW’s naked lineup, the R 1250 R clumsily presents itself as a superfluous big-engined roadster that neither packs the punch of potential “hyper” rivals like the KTM 1290 Super Duke R and Kawasaki Z H2, nor leans on tourer because this base is well and truly covered by its siblings.

Chuck in the fact that its territory is being encroached upon by the S 1000 R and F 900 R, so the R 1250 R is rather surplus to requirements.

Yamaha Niken GT

Yes, yes, yes…before you say it, we “know” that the Yamaha Niken GT muddy the waters when it comes to being classified as a motorcycle, but much like the Jaffa Cake-biscuit debate, it fits to the invoice here.

Yamaha’s vision is beyond reproach with the Niken – a two-front, one-rear trike – featuring clever gyroscopic technology designed for superior comfort and stability, plus the soothing notion that you won’t fall off. not very easily.

It’s also a pretty decent long-distance tourer, but there’s no disguise, the Niken GT is a quirky quirky that we couldn’t recommend to anyone at all uncomfortable receiving attention anywhere you go passers-by.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Niken hasn’t won over buyers in the same way as the nifty Piaggio MP3, largely because its unique – albeit well-judged – features aren’t quite worth the gawps its asking price of £15,500 and a selection on the accomplished Yamaha Tracer 9.

Benelli TRK 502

To be fair, we could have placed any member of Benelli’s current range of British motorbikes, such is the historic Italian company’s tiny status in the UK.

It’s not the only brand limited by its sparse distribution network, but Benelli’s status as a player becomes more surprising when you consider that he’s become something of a rising star in the world rankings, one that now outsells Triumph and Ducati comfortably.

Substantial investment from Qianjiang Motors has seen Benelli’s range and footprint grow exponentially across Asia, where it is now a popular choice.

However, the effect was also felt in Europe, with the Benelli TRK 502 now the best-selling motorcycle in Italy by a kilometer, thanks in part to the mid-capacity soft-roader/tourer having few obvious rivals.

Low prices, practicality and good kit levels make it attractive to a UK buyer…you just need to find one first.

Zero SR/S

All credit must go to Zero for not only persevering with its all-electric theme long before it became a consideration for mainstream companies, with the American company having forged decent value and a diverse range of options.

However, while Zero’s designs – like the SR/F and the new DSR/X – are smart and future-proof, they’re not terribly exciting either…

Not that he hasn’t attempted to pump some adrenaline into the lineup in the (clumsy) form of his Zero SR/S, a modestly fast mid-range roadster doing sportbike cosplay.

Indeed, Zero slapped a hideous angular fairing on the SR/F and called it a sport bike, which might convince a whole lot more if the SR/S were even an iota more exciting and appealing to ride than taking the bus.

A quick sprint off the line is a godsend, but the SR/S wears out before your pupils have dilated. Add in a price of £12,670 – around £4,000 more than the far superior Yamaha R7 – and it’s easy to see why buyers swerved.

Triumph Tiger 850 Sport

Something of a sore thumb in Triumph’s lineup, the Triumph Tiger 850 Sport is meant to fill the specs as a more touring-focused model… except Triumph said something similar about the Tiger 900 GT bigger, more powerful and more capable launched just a few weeks ago. earlier.

Essentially a successor to the previous-generation Tiger as standard, the Tiger Sport lacks some of the smart technology, maturity and grunt of the 900, but retains that usual triple character.

Fitted with the same engine as the Tiger 900, it’s been detuned to a smaller capacity and horsepower, hence the 850 suffix, while the price also reflects reductions with the £2,000 cheaper Sport at £9,495 .

And yet we can’t help but think that, just as we view 99p as favorably better value than £1, we wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to opt for the 900 GT over the 850 Sport on bragging value alone…

CF Moto 650 NK

CFMoto is gradually gaining a foothold in the UK and Europe with models such as the 700CL-X and 800MT, but the Chinese company has a wider range of motorcycles available here for longer than you might expect.

Formerly known as WK Bikes (White Knuckle, FYI…), the current lineup is now aligned with the core CFMoto brand and features larger capacity models than most making the trip from China.

Among these is its tried and tested but very, very dated 649cc platform which is offered in MT soft-roader, GT sports tourer and NK.

Meaning “naked”, the NK650 – which looks like a cross between a KTM 790 Duke and a Suzuki SV650 – is very easily overlooked among accomplished rivals thanks in part to innocuous styling and mechanicals cashing in on their pensions.

CFMoto might have better luck just slapping its eye-catching £5,799 price tag on the fairing as a paint option.

MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800

Suppliers of ‘Motorcycle Art’, thanks to models like the F4, F3 and Brutale, MV Agusta certainly has it all figured out when it comes to creating stunning models.

Such an exotic signature image, however, isn’t as easy to translate to something more upright and function-oriented than a Sports Tourer, where styling ranks much lower on the order of importance.

Nevertheless, the Var brand got off to a good start with the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800, much more slender than its main rivals, especially in the RC racing version. With its tuneful – if it gets old – 800cc three-cylinder engine encouraging a spirited driving experience, the Turismo Veloce is a decent case… if you lived outside the UK.

A sparse dealer network has always been a bogeyman to MV Agusta’s UK fortunes, while the Turismo Veloce plays on its premium image by sporting a hefty £13,950 price tag…

In short, if you’re going to go to the effort of buying an imported MV, you’ll get a Brutale…and if you want a Sports Tourer, you’ll get something cheaper, more efficient, and not a source of migraines when things are bad.

Ducati Super Sport 950

The fact that the Ducati SuperSport 950 is considered the tourer of the Italian firm’s lineup tells you everything you need to know about the Panigale-not-Panigale SuperSport 950.

In fact, head over to the Ducati website, scroll down all models in small thumbnail size next to each other, and the remote SuperSport 950 bears all the hallmarks of the sport bike sibling.

Except that there the similarities end, the SuperSport 950 persevering in the twin-cylinder architecture of the firm, unlike its cousins ​​now sporting the latest V4 and V2 trends.

For a ‘Tourer’ the SuperSport is surprisingly a track day hustler, but generally this model suffers from being too tourer when it could be a sports bike, or too much of a sports bike when you want a turn. After all, why buy a curdled semi-skimmed SuperSport 950 when you could have a fresh, fatty Panigale?

Kenyans order 100 electric buses as part of KCB funding

Motorcycle Business

Companies

Wednesday 05 October 2022

Electric bus supplier BasiGo has signed a financing agreement with KCB Bank to scale up operations in Nairobi after a seven-month pilot project.

The deal will see the Kenyan bank extend a three-year loan facility covering up to 90% of the 5 million shilling purchase price for the electric buses.

The company which launched operations in Nairobi in March 2022 in conjunction with Citi Hoppa and East Shuttle says the electric buses have traveled 90,000 km carrying more than 112,000 passengers.

The company says it has received more than 100 bookings for its K6 electric bus and wants to increase supply next year, partnering with KCB to target passenger service vehicles.

“The key to getting electric buses on the road in Kenya is to make them affordable for PSV owners. The partnership we signed today with KCB Bank is a game-changer. It will allow bus owners to get a asset financing for an electric bus exactly in line with how they buy diesel buses,” said Jit Bhattacharya, CEO and co-founder of BasiGo.

BasiGo sells the electric buses directly or through a rental model and the company retains ownership of the battery in the bus.

The battery is then leased to the operator PSV via the Pay-As-You-Drive subscription of Sh20 per kilometer.

BasiGo says they mitigate risk to PSV operators by guaranteeing battery performance and providing all bus charging and maintenance.

Electric vehicles are attracting the financial mass of lenders concerned with securing green financing and complying with Environmental Social Governance (ESG) regulations.

The NCBA Group has launched a 2 billion shilling electric vehicle financing as customers increasingly turn to battery-powered cars amid the fight against climate change and rising global oil prices.

The five-year agreement will allow customers to benefit from asset financing of up to 80% of the total cost.

In addition, the NCBA will grant a 10% interest rate on a declining balance for electric vehicle loan applications received within the first 90 days.

Besides banks, e-mobility companies are also using companies like M-Kopa and Watu to buy smaller motorcycle and tuktuk units.

Electric motorcycle companies are leveraging partnerships with asset finance lenders to drive sales in Kenya by targeting boda boda riders.

Swedish-Kenyan tech company Roam has partnered with M-Kopa to deliver a fleet of motorcycles by the end of 2022, in time for a mass rollout in early 2023.

ARC Ride Kenya, which has launched a factory in Kenya producing 500 two- and three-wheel electric scooters and bicycles each month, has also partnered with MKopa and Watu credit to be able to offer the product on flexible financing terms.

As companies like Arc Ride and BasiGo seek to bring affordable electric vehicles to market, a new industry is forming, battery charging hubs that will replace gas stations in the future.

Kenya Power said it would start building electric charging systems for homes, businesses and the public across the country as the shift to clean transport gains momentum.

The electricity distributor said it had enough electricity to charge 50,000 buses and two million motorbikes during off-peak hours.

The Electricity Utility is looking for a company to build an Electric Mobility Network Infrastructure System (ENIS) in Nairobi and Nakuru to pilot the charging stations.

The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has also installed an electric vehicle charging station in Nairobi as the state agency joins other players driving the e-mobility push.

Brand stories. Triumph Engine; glory with the roadsters then assisted suicide

Motorcycle Brand

The brand was born in 1885 under the name of S. Bettmann & Co. It was founded by Siegfried Bettmann, a German based in London who markets bicycles that he imports from mainland Europe.

The name Triumph was registered in 1886 by Sigfried Bettmann; he wanted the name to be easily pronounceable in German, English and French. Two years later Triumph began manufacturing bicycles in Coventry, then continued to manufacture motorcycles from 1902.

This part of Triumph will experience financial difficulties due to the financial crash of Wall Street in 1929 and will be sold in 1936; Triumph motorcycles still exist.

The TCP, the first British production car equipped with hydraulic brakes, was presented in 1925. In 1933, new management took over the reins of Triumph.

He will create a range of cars (sedan, roadster and sport) very well equipped around the Gloria, but sales do not follow. In 1936, it was the turn of the Dolomite, a small roadster, to arrive; 140 hp engine, top speed of 200 km/h but its price was too high for the time.

After the sale of the motorcycle division in 1936, the finances are still in the red and Triumph passes under administrative control in the summer of 1939. In 1945, the factories destroyed by the bombings, Triumph only has to rebuild.

Going through standardization

The future of Triumph goes through a new owner; John Black, already head of Standard automobiles, began by producing an 1800 sedan and then a roadster which did not find their customers.

In 1949, to standardize production, the Triumphs received engines and transmissions from Standard; in 1950, the sedan recovered the chassis of the Vanguard to become the Triumph Renown.

That year, at the Earl’s Court show, Triumph presented a prototype sports car with a Standard engine fitted with overdrive, retractable headlights and an electrically opening bonnet. Too futuristic, it was abandoned after two copies.

In 1952, a simpler prototype (called TR1) gave birth to Triumph’s greatest commercial success: the TR line – for Triumph roadster – which represents more than 200,000 units sold.

The TR2, which arrives shortly after, reaches 170 km/h with its 90 hp 2-litre. In 1956 it was the TR3 with front disc brakes. We have to wait until 1961 to see the TR4; it is designed by Italian Michelotti and fitted with a larger 2.2L engine and a fully synchronized gearbox.

Finally, the TR4 becomes TR4 A IRS with the adoption of an independent rear suspension.

The first sedan for 30 years

Triumph benefited from many orders while Standard vegetated because of unsuitable products. The Standard-Triumph group is investing 2 million pounds for a new sedan project under the Triumph brand.

This will be the Triumph Herald, also designed by Michelotti. Available as a coupé and a 4-seater convertible, it is appreciated despite sometimes erratic behaviour; it stops in 1971. Triumph will use the chassis to produce a more rustic roadster than the TR4: the Spitfire; it will start in 1.1 l to go to 1.3 (75 hp) and finish in 1.5 l. A Spitfire with a 6-cylinder 2-litre engine and a wishbone rear suspension made its appearance in 1966: the GT6.

In 1961 Triumph was taken over by Leyland Motor Corporation which discontinued the Standard brand. In addition to the roadsters and the Herald, Leyland added the 2000 saloon. In 1968, Leyland merged with BMC and Triumph found itself competing with MG and Rover.

In 1969, Triumph presented the last true TR, the TR6 designed by Karmann. At that time, the USA absorbed up to 75% of production, but new anti-pollution and passive safety standards led the brand to offer a new car fitted with a fixed roof: the TR7, which would be followed by a TR8 with engine. V8 Rover.

Triumph resumes the name of Dolomite, after the small roadster of 1936. This time, it is a sedan which will have a sportier derivative under the name of Dolomite Sprint with 127 hp. Photo RD

In 1970, Triumph released a final sedan, the Dolomite, available in a sporty 127 hp version: the Dolomite Sprint. British Leyland’s biggest problem (following the merger between Leyland and British Motors Corporation) lies in the fact that its activities are based on exporting to the USA, which has just tightened its standards.

British Leyland tried to survive by adapting the Honda Ballade which became the last car to bear the Triumph name in 1981: the Triumph Acclaim. Despite excellent sales, the adventure ended in 1984; The triumph disappears.

The Toronto store loved by Jason Momoa is closing for good with a huge clearance sale

Motorcycle Sale

A one-of-a-kind, cultural must-see retail store on Toronto’s Ossington Strip will close its doors for good next month after more than a decade of serving the community – but that’s not bad news for customers (not those who appreciate deep discounts, at least. )

City Motorcyclea motorcycle lifestyle store located at 132 Ossington Ave. announced earlier this month that it would end operations in October, with an initial shutdown date scheduled for October 31.

A note posted on the door of the business seen on Sunday, however, says the physical store will now close on October 2 due to the overwhelming customer response and rapidly dwindling inventory.

A note on the door of Town Moto explains why the beloved store is closing and what customers can expect.

The shop notes that it could close even sooner if stocks run out, and that could very well be the case thanks to insane clearance prices: as a final thank you to fans and friends, the company is selling all stock. staying in store for at least 25% cents off, making this a great time to invest in a cool biker jacket or a silver skull ring.

Helmets, jackets, gloves, boots, sunglasses, t-shirts, sweaters, toques, gifts and more can be found in addition to what the store considers “everything you need to maintain, modify and build a motorcycle, including maintenance products, parts, tools and manuals.”

Town Moto branded merchandise (including their many awesome t-shirts) is a staggering 50% off, with all sales final.

“At the start, we had a simple goal to create something that we felt didn’t exist in motorcycling. We never expected it to turn into something that would allow us to work with so many great people. , to engage with a community both within and beyond motorcycles. , and contribute so profoundly to our lives in personal ways,” read a letter on the store’s front door.

“We were very lucky to have turned something we dreamed of into a real business. With so many seasons in business, there is also growth and change! After a decade in the space, we feel we have achieved what we set out to do and we are ready for the next Chapter.”

The Town Moto team goes on to say that they have forged many relationships with brands, the community and individuals…one of which is Khal Drogo himself, actor and motorcycle enthusiast Jason Momoa.

Momoa isn’t mentioned in any marketing materials, and staffers aren’t one to drop his name, but the star is rumored to be a huge Town Moto fan. He has been spotted leaving the company on several occasions and appears to have witnessed some of the many community events hosted by the shop while filming in Toronto.

The Aquaman star was filmed last April run his engine outside the workshop and cruise through Ossington, but that’s not what makes Town Moto cool. Not by far.

“You don’t need to own a motorbike to be welcomed into Town Moto, we have an assortment of casual wear, books and everyday accessories! Need some advice on getting started with motorcycling? We’ve got you covered. too !” reads the store’s website, epitomizing in one sentence why locals love Town Moto.

“The motorcycling community is an important part of who we are and what we do. Throughout the year, we strive to foster and support our motorcycling community with free tech nights, events, sponsorships and promoting other inclusive events in the community.”

Anyone familiar can agree that the store had a major (if not the biggest) impact on Toronto’s now thriving motorcycle culture. No word yet on what might replace them or if they will reopen elsewhere.

“We are very lucky that this was a personal choice and that our love of motorcycling and the independent trade did not weigh heavily,” read the closing note on the store door.

“We can’t promise anything about where you’ll find us in the future, but chances are it’ll still be on a motorcycle! Thank you for being part of this journey and we can’t wait to see what who will follow!”
