There has been quite a lot of back and forth from Bajaj regarding the date of the official release of its CNG motorcycle, but the company has now issued an invite that confirms the date to be July 5.
Thus far known as the Bajaj Bruzer, the CNG bike might take on a different brand name when it goes on sale. The Bajaj CNG bike will be the world’s first production-spec motorcycle to be powered by CNG as well as petrol. In an age where petrol prices have been at over Rs 100 for years on end – and where affordable, practical electric motorcycles are few and far between – the Bajaj CNG bike may end up offering a lower cost motorcycle ownership experience that many are looking for.
As for how it works, leaked design blueprints have already given us an understanding of the engineering behind this bike and you can clickhere here to see how Bajaj has engineered the CNG tank into the motorcycle’s structure. We expect this novel Bajaj bike to be powered by a 125cc engine, which can switch between the two fuels.
There are still many questions that remain, including how far it can run on a tank of CNG and we look forward to receiving some of these answers at the July 5th event. Keep an eye out for our coverage of this unique motorcycle.
