Honda has unveiled two electric motorcycle concept models, ‘EV Fun Concept’ and the ‘EV Urban Concept’ at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy. 
This comes on the back of a news circulating in the Indian media space about the Japanese two-wheeler major in advanced stages of launching a stylish and technologically advanced electric scooter in India by the end of this fiscal or in early 2025 calendar year. 
Talking about the two electric motorcycle concepts, the ‘EV Fun Concept’ is Honda’s first electric sports model and will be commercial made available in 2025. 
Developed as a next-generation electric motorcycle that offers a new sensation of quiet riding and an emotional feeling that is unique to electric motorcycles, the ‘EV Fun Concept’ leverages the Japanese automakers’ long-developed motorcycle technologies to put-together a machine that is quiet, vibration-free, slim and easy-to-manage. 
The last bit could be attributed to the chassis package realised by a fixed battery. The charging system for the concept e-motorcycle was developed by applying the company’s know-how and technologies cultivated in its automobiles and power products. The battery is compatible with the CCS2 quick charger and has been developed to optimise the balance between light weight and quick charging performance. The range the motorcycle will offer will be over 100 km for a single charge. 
The EV Urban Concept is an electric model that embodies Honda’s vision of urban electric mobility with its function-focused design, connected technologies and in-house developed battery pack.
The concept e-motorcycle embodies the Japanese automaker’s vision of what urban electric mobility should be like. It underscores a vision of near-future mobility that cooperates and resonates with people and society through its essential and sophisticated styling, intuitive human-machine interface (HMI), and new experiences created by the fusion of software and hardware. 
Making strong progress toward its plan to introduce 30 electric models globally by 2030, Honda is accelerating its efforts to develop a full lineup of electric motorcycles to meet the diversifying needs of customers and promote the development of a wide variety of electric vehicles. 
The company is expanding its global market share in the field of electric motorcycles.

Studds Accessories, one of the leading two-wheeler helmet manufacturer, has launched its latest product the Raider Youth, a full-face helmet designed for younger riders and adults requiring smaller head sizes at prices starting INR 1,175.

The release marks the introduction of a dedicated small-sized full-face model into the company's product line-up. The Raider Youth is an ISI-certified helmet that provides chin and lower-face coverage, moving beyond the open-face helmet designs that have traditionally dominated the youth and small-head-size segments in India. It is offered in two sizes: XXS (520 mm) and XS (540 mm), catering to children, teenagers and female riders or adults with smaller head dimensions.

The product features an outer shell constructed from ABS material paired with an expanded polystyrene (EPS) liner. The ventilation system uses top exhaust ports to channel airflow through the interior, while additional hardware includes a scratch-resistant quick-release visor, micro-fibre inner lining and a quick-release chin strap mechanism.

Sidhartha Bhushan Khurana, Managing Director, STUDDS Accessories, said, "Young riders today are more aware of style, comfort, and safety than ever before, and parents are increasingly seeking products that offer enhanced protection without compromising on usability. The Raider Youth has been developed to address these expectations through a purpose-built full-face design that delivers greater coverage and confidence for young riders. Its vibrant colour palette, modern styling, rider-focused comfort features, and trusted safety credentials have been brought together to make helmet usage both appealing and reassuring. We believe the Raider Youth will resonate strongly with young riders and their families while encouraging the habit of safe riding from an early age."

The initial launch comprises the Unicolor variant across 12 finish options, including solid, matte, and chameleon finishes: White, Black, Cherry Red, Flame Blue, Lavender Pink, Pastel Green, Petrol Blue, Dark Pink, Chameleon Pink, Chameleon Blue, Matt Black, and Military Green.
