When the thump becomes your heartbeat then-No one can stop you from riding. The customised bikes in India

It has been centuries People with artistic instincts have used mediums to unleash their intuitions; the magic moment of Eureka where the vision takes a physical shape. The thumping sound has alluded generations. Custom motorcycles are distinct motorcycles which are sculpted and molded from the original mass produced machines. The first customised bikes started to appear in the early 1950’s. Often motorcycles have been associated with style and glamour; it is a symbol of rebellion, freedom, and protest. Custom bikes have been part of a lifestyle statement. Customised Bikes in India have been a unique piece of art for motorcycle lovers. Although motorcyclists use to modify the looks of their machines

With the Indian motorcycle industry expanding at a massive rate, the focus is slowly shifting from the manufactures to Customised Bikes builders and modifiers across the country. Modifying you’re used to meaning changing the paint job or getting projector headlamps, but the various customization houses are showing us that it can be so much more. From changing the entire structure and look of existing bike models to building completely new ones from scratch, these designers are rewriting the rules of how bikes should look. Here are some of the Customised Bikes builders in India currently.

 #1. Rajputana Custom Motorcycles

Rajputana Customs is a small motorcycle outfit based in Jaipur. IT was started by Vijay Singh in 2009 when he decided to build a custom-made bike around the 350cc engine of a Royal Enfield Classic. The bike, which was named Original Gangster, received rave reviews at the 2010 Delhi Auto Expo. After that, a mutual friend of Vijay Introduced him to John Abraham, one of the charming and popular superstars of Bollywood, who already owned a stock Yamaha R1, V-Max, and a Suzuki Hayabusa and was looking for his first custom build.

The actor/producer commissioned a board track racer- a lightweight, narrow-framed motorcycle with dropped handlebars, stretched low-set frames and narrow wheels which Vijay nicknamed Lightfoot. After that, the orders started pouring in. The names of the individual custom model are quite interesting like Nandi, Bitto, Aghori, Rakhdi, Jordaar, 8 balls etc. Each name has its own story behind it. “I schooled myself on bike engineering by watching Youtube videos. For aesthetic inspiration, I turned to Californian builder Jesse Rooke’s cruisers. I sourced a few of the components locally and built those I couldn’t find off the shelf”, he said. Rajputana Customs has gone from strength to strength and established itself as one of the most reputed builders in India.

#2.Old Delhi Motorcycles

Bobbee Singh, a restoration specialist, is the founder of Old Delhi Motorcycles. Over the last 15 years, the 41-year-old cultivated a network of “informants” who tip him off about Vintage Royal Enfields that are up for sale. He snags them, restores them and then sells the motorcycles to customers around the world. Singh prefers Nortons, BSAs, Triumphs and Royal Enfields. I have grown up on stories which romanticized these motorcycles- stories about British officers meticulously polishing their Triumphs after Sunday Mass within the cantonments, of riding them to events like the Jabalpur Ball.

These motorcycles were designed for India. An 18-minute long documentary movie, named “Old Delhi Motorcycles” starring Bobbee Singh was showcased at New York’s Motorcycle Film Festival and has already racked up over 250,000 views on YouTube. In that video, he speaks of his love for restoring bikes and introduces some of the mechanics and component specialists he works with. Old Delhi Motorcycle Customs is all about restoring the vintage look and feel of the bikes more than the technical aspects.

What started off as a small backyard project in 2005 has now developed into a small business. In their own words, they are driven by “an insatiable urge to make their things better, be it design aesthetics, handling or just plain appeal, we are always pushing the envelope of design and performance.” The Gunner 540 by Bulleteer Customs, which looks absolutely brilliant, won the prestigious “Best Custom Bike” in the year’s Royal Enfield Mania.

Can a Car really run on compressed Air ?

Now on the back days when I was studying in class 10 On our school projects I made a project of a demo car that used compressed air to generate thrust and move ahead. Although that was a school project and I used the air as to generate thrust. But I still thought why not compressed air can be used in an engine directly instead of fuel for moving the piston.

Now the time has changed and You will be amazed to know that there are cars that have been already made or are in the production process that uses compressed air to power the engines.

How Compressed Air will help

The engine that will be used will be very much similar to a steam-powered engine but the main problem that we have to face is the size of gas tank that will keep the compressed air as fuel.

An alternative that could be used is a liquefied gas like liquid nitrogen. You can think of liquid nitrogen as air that has been compressed so much it has liquefied. As Liquid nitrogen is much denser than compressed air, one could store enough in a car to give it reasonable range. But still you have to fill that up at the liquid-nitrogen station.

A compressed air car would generate no pollution while you are driving. However, one of the problem is that the power plant that produces the electricity that compresses the air (or liquifies the nitrogen, for that matter) is probably generating pollution from the coal or oil it is burning. Power plants are relatively clean and very efficient compared to car engines, so this is not a bad trade-off. Still, it’s important to compare apples to apples.

Another thing that would be interesting to figure out is the efficiency of a liquid-nitrogen engine. If you burn gasoline in a car engine, only about 20 percent of it powers the wheels. The rest creates wasted heat. It would be interesting to see how efficient a power plant is, plus how efficient a nitrogen liquefier is, plus how efficient a liquid-nitrogen engine is — that would tell you whether you were creating a technology that is better or worse than the gasoline engine in terms of efficiency.

Cars That already Uses Compressed Air

Yes there is a company named “Zero Pollution Motors” that is now manfacturing cars that will be using compressed air as fuel and have already made several prototypes. ZPM is poised to produce the first compressed air-powered car for sale in the United States by Q4 2017-Q1 2018 . Production in Europe is schedule for May 2017, US buyers estimate delivery, for those who paid their deposits 2nd half 2017.

The AIRPod vehicle, developed by MDI (www.mdi.lu), is the solution to urban pollution and urban mobility.  With its small size, a tiny price, zero pollution, and a fun and futuristic design, AIRPod marks a turning point in the range of urban vehicles.   It is a real breath of fresh air in cities and the prelude to travel without pollution.

The luxurious life of three Wheeler Automobiles

Think of a three wheeler being cool!…yeah it’s appeared a bit oxymoronic when we picture it until Morgan car companies built the most genius innovation in the car industry.

Founder Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan held the company to a great level for around 50 years and then by his successors. Even after such age, the company has still maintained its reputation of making crazy and coolest cars. Morgan was a man of determination and will power. Even after facing humiliation from some obnoxious authorities Morgan fought his way out to what Morgan motors are now.

The 2 seater roadster is able to rev from zero to 60 miles per hour(97kmph) in just 4.5 seconds…doesn’t that sound cool for an antique car to rev for a pleasure ride! The chassis design and many other factors also contributed to its low weight. Amazing car with just a weight of around 550kgs is really awesome and hence more fuel efficiency or less consumption.
