There’s no concealing the reality that Honda changed the scooter market in India. Now, from the appearances of it, it appears that the Japanese business isn’t done pressing the envelope simply. A current patent submitted by the business in India showcases a scooter … with an air bag?
Yes, it does sound a little strange at. Honda has actually been fitting air bags in its motorbikes for a while, with the prime example of this being the 2006 design of the Honda Gold Wing. Back in 2017, the business was dealing with a with security systems business called, Autoliv Inc. While information were limited at that time, the business appears to have actually made considerable development in the last 5 years.
Coming back to the patent, the illustration reveals an air bag installed near the handlebars of its PCX designs. It appears to be sitting on top of round real estate, which might load the compressed gas and the air bag itself. According to Autocar India, the innovation still appears to be under advancement, with earlier illustrations revealing the air bag real estate being positioned ahead of the handlebar and closer to the rider.
Of course, the innovation will need a variety of sensing units to collect the information from the accelerometers, which can spot a crash and release the security function. The very first design to include the innovation may be among Honda’s PCX Maxi-scooter designs, which are yet to launching in India. Could this suggest Honda might release the 2 together? We’ll need to wait and see.
What’s more significant though is Honda’s two-wheeler department constantly appears to be upping the ante when it pertains to innovation. Just just recently, the maker remained in the news for allegedly establishing a brand-new center motor for among its upcoming e-scooters. A few of you might likewise keep in mind the self-balancing bike Honda showcased a number of years back.
Regardless, if this air bag innovation will pertain to fulfillment, it will be a much required function on Indian two-wheelers, offered the ever-rising variety of lives declared due to roadway mishaps.
