What a fantastic speaker.

Very well said! For us, it gives massive pride in using products made in other countries sadly! The sense of owning one's country's identity and nativity is very important. Since time immemorial, other countries are recognizing India's rich culture and heritage and its bright entities, but we being the important part of it are at our blind spots. It is our sole n soul responsibility to be the rightful owners of our heritage and take it forward to the greatest heights possible!

if the bike is another "innovation for innovation sake" product, or if there is a technological reflexion behind it. From an aesthetic point of view, I don't think electric bikes should persist in looking like gasoline bikes, right down to having a "fuel tank". they're a new breed and should look like it. why are electric bikes not pushing the aerodynamic envelope figuratively and literally? and talking about details, with iterative process not identified - Why do electric bike designers continue to use the counter-intuitive Telescopic forks that reduce rear wheel grip force on heavy braking, reducing the potential for regeneration when most is available, insane really. Putting brake forces through front suspension especially on heavy bikes with large load transfer from pitching moment compromises suspension and handling as it's bottomed out and running compromised setup. Let alone the brake force path running half way around the bike. Double insane..Such a shame. you had the opportunity to create something significant but seems like you guys at Emflux One have missed the bus. lastly, TVS - is no visionary to be honest, to take any design cues from.

This model is their first iteration, and I am sure they will do more. May I suggest reading Lean Manufacturing and Lean Start-up, and one may understand why new companies simply cannot afford to innovate right off the bat. Innovation is only a single spoke in a company; especially for a start-up, they will not only have to focus on design and engineering but on inglorious things like market research and penetration, operations management, sourcing components for manufacturing, scaling up to the market, paying their workforce, HR and so on. I understand your passion for design, but running a company is a whole different ball game, and I think you have to appreciate this start-up because translating innovative ideas to a product is no easy feat.

@@Nvh_401 i wholly agree to everything from "running the business" angle. But, Do you agree that motorbikes are not granted a special and unique benefit to escape the laws of the physics ? It is clear that you dont understand fully what I have typed, but i dont blame you because you were not the intended audience, and trust me it has nothing to do with design as you mention. Because, physics is just the language of reality. A lot of people are speaking about it, very few understand what it really is. And, Of course, this is the only way one can learn: making mistakes and applying harsh self criticism... Not very widespread emflux one's microcosm where certitudes and technicist fetishism is the rule. eg Taking cues from someone like TVS ! So to end this, Soichiro Honda said famously-"and no doubt, many times-there is more to be learned from failure than success" , So i do hope that they someday they get to the question: Why electric bikes not pushing the aerodynamic envelope figuratively and literally? - Cheers,
