I am amazed at the dynamic here - one waxes eloquent about the features of the seats while the other goes 'eh, not impressed'. And then they randomly bring in 'nirodh' and 'Royal Enfield Taurus' moments later. Random, hilarious, amazingly free-flowing. This is banter at its best. Loving it!
After a long time I got to see Kartikey and getting Shumi with him was icing on the cake. I don't want to watch any other channel but this. Really happy to see you guys.
You guys just made thebest automobile channel . Everything is great ,let it be content ,production quality everything. And that calm and peaceful vibe is on another level. Great work
I felt this is how the "Reviews" should be done. Thanks Shumi and Kartikeya for doing it this way. This was the most fun review I have heard in a while.
This is what was missing in the Indian automotive journalism scene. Loving this mature yet fun take of bringing such a calm, pleasing podcast series without the pomp n show (that of late has been the idea of most auto reviewers after powerdrift came to the picture). Fantastic job, Motorinc team! This is class apart. Liked powerdrift in my 20s, and now loving motorinc in my 30s :)

The snarky Shumi precisely echoed the thoughts of some us. I started off driving cars and ventured into motorcycles 2 years later. But given the direction that modern cars are taking, there's nothing exciting happening there as far as a motoring enthusiast in concerned. This blind love for the automatics from the customers' end which is leading to a slow death of the manuals, and the manufacturerers trying to outdo each other with electronics and gimmicks is only pulling the driver farther and farther away from the driving experience. At least, motorcycles are yet to be 'corrupted' or 'polluted' by these tendencies. I hope this lasts for a while before they too are forced to succumb to the 'electric wave'. On the other hand, excellent podcast. You guys did cover some serious ground and raise pertinent questions while maintaining the tone of humour throughout. Must say you are making maximum use of the two-person format. Good job!!
Thank you Adithya! We believe that a lot of the chaos in the car world (gimmick-wise) will settle and the sometimes nonsensical gadgets and gizmos are leading us towards the next big change in the car where the driver's time is about to be liberated from the mundane task of driving itself.

i can say strongly that the best thing about this channel is the chemistry between you two. i will never buy 90% of the cars and bikes you cover but, i listen to every podcast just to enjoy your friendship and chemistry. i also prefer watching the videos just and just because of the pauses you two give while talking. "PERFECT". i love the way two opposite characters talking to each other sensibly. in this day and age where everyone is mad when they don't find same view point and start screaming. this is the channel that they should watch and understand that life is beautiful together. take love both of you.

This conversation went exactly as j thought it would. I had a similar conversation with my cousin where he was oozing about a new phone and I just kept poking fun at all the uniqueness being just some gimmicks.
Really enlightening podcast! Suggestion: plz try to a add split screen in between for the picture/video of the topic of discussion. Eg. Design of the car could be shown in between for better understanding of an average viewer like me😬
We would rather that you paused and googled for yourself. MotorInc wasn't designed for you to sit back and relax. We want you to think and learn actively. Just searching for a photo, in fact, will show you more things than us popping up a photo for a few seconds
I think the transition from ICE to EV is a topic that can be explored more and me as a loyal viewer would appreciate your take on this process across various ranges of vehicles aimed at various types of customers. Honestly, not looking forward to the day when ICE dies but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it 🙂
Some suggestions if i may A. As there is no video of this car other than this adding visuals when we are talking about it can be really useful B. The visual was a bit blurry like a filter that reduced the clarity and gave a halo effect that wasn't really fitting I always enjoy the banter or rant whatever we can call shumi's fun way.
Hey Abhinav! First, the blurry image -- would you please check your settings. Our feedback says that this video is actually even more sharp than before. Second, there's no plan to add images. We believe you'll learn more by googling what piqued your interest than us showing you 2-3 second pop up images.
It will be fantastic if you add a small picture of the design/component/incident which you talk about. I tend to pause the video and find pictures about it. It’ll be great help if you add that feature.
We do want to you pause and search for things. MotorInc is about thinking and doing, not sitting back and consuming. We’re not going to adding stuff when we know that your pausing and searching improves your knowledge more
We do plan to. But not until we're ready with the logistics, setup etc needed to make the guest thing work. When we can achieve this quality level, we will for sure.
@@motorinc the quality is already top notch tbh. Content is also top class. All the other things I'm sure you will figure out soon enough. But make sure you invite "The Motographer".
Loved it, was laughing throughout. Loved the Ioniq's styling, reminded me a bit about the Golf Mk2 in design, not size. I happened to visit a Hyundai showroom when the latest Tucson was launched and the best looking car of the lot was the Kona, to me. Ioniq trumps that by a huge margin, seems like Hyundai has hired a different design team for the EVs. Just to chime in, I think Kartikeya's camping trip should start with a call to the RSA so that by the time cooking, dinner and music is done and the car has run out of charge, the RSA would be nearby 😊 Also isn't that a Nespresso behind you guys on the table ? That could go for the coffee too 😊 On a serious note, respect Hyundai's presence and push in changing the market for the better. Hyundai can be Hot and give us an i20 1.5 Turbo N-Line.
Honda (H): Harakiri: for what they’ve done to themselves over the past decade. Toyota (T): Thalaiva: (needs no explanation) Skoda (S): Screwed at Service
To Shumi Sir, with all due respect, please don't take this otherwise, I'm saying this since I genuinely want this channel to grow and think that you guys might appreciate honest feedback on podcast style videos, Sir, I think you should wait for Kartikeya Sir to pass the ball, for one, a curious viewer could get a little bit annoyed, but more so because it's a bit unfair towards Kartikeya Sir and arguably disrespectful. I know you will take this in good spirit for the person you are.
Writing this at 17:32 : The better way to compare the interior space offered by an ICE vehicle and a born EV is to compare the wheelbases. Picture this, the only ICE car sold in India
I have been living with one right next to me,my neighbor has it... At start it does look like a car how films in 80's said what future would look like.... But it only has that 15 mins of wow, after that it's just that one fluorescent green sneaker that you thought is funky when you bought but now you don't know when to wear it actually...
Fortunately, how it looks and the wow it creates is just the start of the experience. After that we have to start living with it and as Kartikeya says, the Ioniq 5 seems to be a promising car!
I was not sure that I will able to watch car content that to be electric car but kartikeya and shumi made it so fun and informative to watch . But I have a question, if electric cars will be future let's say in 40 -45 years what about ice performance motorcycles like 650 twins , Dukes , liter class , as in previous podcast shumi said mid level adv motorcycles market will be bomming from Himalayan 450 .what the future will i able to ride motorcycles till my 50s or old age ?? Thankyou for such informative,fun and chill Content kartikeya,shumi and motoInc team take care 🙏❤️
I’m 40 years ICE will be history. As for how long we will have two wheelers on the road - that’s a tough question. With autonomous cars it will become a new world. Non-autonomous two-wheelers will they exist? Painful thought. But.. let’s enjoy now! And thanks for being here!
eGMP's main advantage is the DC charging performance. Can pull 240 kW at max. With more high speed DC chargers on our highways now, will be a great road tripping EV
@@motorinc good to see you guys too. You guys read most of the comments, don't you✊🏻️😄.. That is good.. You can improve and make sure you are delivering nice content
Can you make a video of touring new trends of users in touring and what the vehicle need for touring suspension, engine, storage, tanks, every possible thing pls
@MotorInc trends I mean to say now the person who likes to go on tour tries to capture moments and difficulties he has faced to make memory or to share on platform
Shumi asked a question - Why does innovation happen in EVs and not in ICE Cars, why fancy tech is offered in EVs and hype is made around. To which Kartikeya's answer was "All EVs have same experience and hence they need to show the difference". I have a different take on this. Car makers like Hyundai have been selling ICE cars for decades now, they have already built a ICE platform and have series of different car segments on those platforms. When a customer walks in the Hyundai experience center he/she is going to see a lineup of Venue, Verna and Tucson which are ICE cars and have different power, and more or less a set feature set. Hyundai has to think how do I convince this customer to switch to EV or how do I ensure that he buys from Hyundai. Just having a decent range and torque is not going to help (other brands to offer it) Having a highly tech enabled car in the segment differentiates the product from the same brands ICE counterparts, which also justifies the high price for the EV. This is where I feel Indian brands like Mahindra and Tata should learn to differentiate their EV from regular ICE cars. Consumer needs to shift to EV or alternate fuel but just the powertrain is not sufficient, people need something more and significant. So in the end, Hyundai is like "Come to us, buy the Tucson for 40L or buy the future for just 55L", but do buy only from us. :)
The point here wasn’t so much about ICE vs EV, but as to why EVs are the way they are. Going hi-tech is the way forward. With EVs, there’s just no option. Tech is the core of the offering. 🤷♂️ Does that make sense?
I think Shumi sir is seeing this vehicle in the context of India only whereas it is a global product the lounge feature is used for when you have to halt for charging in a road trip you can see Netflix on the screen and lounge there and camping is pretty common in west so there is a use for the 3 pin socket there. I do agree with the regen mode though I think it should be changed with sports mode eco mode etc and a custom like the n button in international vehicles.
Hehe. Those sun/moon roof, ottomans, calf extensions, etc will make a lot of sense when VanLife kicks off here. Property prices are on the rise, these electrics are practically 1BHKs on the move. Nice pod tho. What would you guys suggest, pull an early trigger on an electric now, or go out with a bang by owning the last diesels we'll ever see? 😉
Hola Sah! Thank you! And beaut of an idea - hehe - Camper life finally takes off in India! ICE in many ways is more logical and practical for more. EV - is more emotional and well suited to few (charging, usage has to be high). What would work for you?
How in the world did you get confused with the regen controls of the kona/ioniq?? It's so simple that when I first stepped into the car,i enjoyed the controls. Jeeez
It was funny when you guys were discussing the name😂. IONIC compounds are a broad category of chemicals which are important components of the batteries, maybe hence IONIQ.
Hey guys! I'm fairly new to the 2 wheeler community and lack knowledge. Will you guys suggest which bike to buy? I commute from near Panvel to almost Andheri and the local train and metro commute makes me question my life choices 😆. The distance is around 36 kms for an hour (total 72 kms and 2 hrs) , and half of it is highway and the other half is city. Considering the fuel prices and the daily commute, I was looking towards electric alternatives, (not scooters) but I'm also open to ICE options. Considering it's a fairly large distance, a bike with an upright stance would be the most suitable, right? is the distance big enough to overlook many options just because of the riding stance? should I wait for better EV alternatives? (I can charge the ev in the office parking)
Hey MG! We can help after you have a list of vehicles that you think will work for you. It will also help us if you have taken test rides on as many of the vehicles on your list as possible.
@@motorinc I'll be honest, I can't really ride motorcycles that well. I've only driven my friend's motorcycles and that too fairly slowly. I have an Activa, so I'm only good with scooters. So no test rides either. Though I want to ride a motorcycle because I love them. I have a car and can drive well, so I think I know how shifting gears would work on a motorcycle. Although I'll really know when I actually ride one. 😆 I have shortlisted a few:- Revolt 400 TVS Raider Matter Aera 5000+ Oben Rorr Hero Xpulse 200T 4V Avenger 160 street TVS Ronin Yamaha FZ-X Keeway SR 125 & 250 Ig the budget would be around 1.5 Lakhs. I'm open to buying used ones as well.
Hey. Raider makes the most sense to us as a first and fun motorcycle. Many of the electrics you’ve listed we haven’t seen in the flesh, in production form yet - can’t recommend those
@@motorinc Thank You guys, I also through my own research (mostly after typing the OG comment )and thinking practically ( looks & other biases aside and mostly convincing myself 🤣) arrived at the conclusion that the Raider was the bike which seems to be the most sensible choice. Even though I do earn, I also had to convince my parents 😂. Your opinion mattered a lot for that. Now that my choice has been validated by the experts, I can finally take action on my decision with a smile. Thanks a lot guys!! You're the best.
On those blutooth speakers that Shumi brings to the campsite, he should play himself talking about cars, especially EVs.. 🙊 Will be more effective than Honey/Mika Singh stuff for sure..
Here's something that I don't get, brands have full fledged manufacturing facilities in India but still they choose to import certain models. I think they should try to manufacture models locally which they want to do well in India.
🤔 We usually hear the opposite @MR_G_YOUNG, the first and the last 10% is usually where Li-ion batteries are at their most stress so try not to let them discharge to that low unless you can't avoid it. Same goes for charging beyond 90% as well. To be very clear, you aren't actively damaging the battery if you let it drain below 10% or charge it above 90%. But if you want to increase your chances of protecting the battery's longevity, it's a good idea to do this.
How about a podcast about our indian bike brands bajaj and tvs about what they are doing about their performance oriented bikes like bajaj pulsar series and their delay for updates like ns200 . And tvs apache series like what better shld they do with it .
well, I never missed a single episode of This connect, but I personally don’t find the relevance of this episode to my benefit whatsoever. Hence skipping the 48 minutes and gonna sleep early. Will catch you up in the next one.
I also have a habit of sitting with my legs folded on a sofa or any chair for that matter and some people would call it unprofessional behavior. But is it though??? I have never seen anyone else doing it until Kartikey..
I have a better answer to Shumi’s question as to why we have features like pattern created by light in EV. It’s done because manufacturers want something to break in EVs and they can have fix it later and generate income during periodic service 😂😂😂 more gismos more things to manage and higher service bills which were not needed in IC
EVs have fewer parts so a lot less to go wrong. Unlikely that electric bits will be as much of an issue. Gizmos plenty in ICE too. 🤷♂️ it’s the subscription features that we’ll have to watch out for.
I’m waiting for Tata to come up with a long range 70KWh car. Can’t imagine how much better their price will be. Both the Ioniq and ev6 are still niche cars.
Have seen multiple videos after this relating to car review. Shumi had converted most of them into comedy shows. we see these reviews to learn about the car. if we like comedy, there are many videos. I think Karthik need to do something about this for good.
Small flaw... you're classifying discomfort as a bad thing. We think camping is the search for maximum comfort in a place of discomfort. And if it's comfortable enough, it's no longer camping at all! 🤣
I think the design differences that are there are because We perceive Electrics as things of the future... ICE have been in our lives for a long time now, all the "tech" came later Having an ICE vehicle which we are used to see everyday, with weird panels and edgy look would feel something's wrong It would be more polarizing than seeing it on an EV Brands are trying to make EV look more technologically advanced so you get a feeling you're getting something superior and futuristic (also because of the quiet cabin) Plus, yes, less moving parts....and like I mentioned the whole perception thing, and also the differentiation to make it different from the ICE cars They don't want us to compare them in an apples to apples manner like "a car and a car" They want us to go "an ICE and an EV"
So kia ev 6 is imported that y it cost 50 lack... 100 % increase for imported cars right? So if it it's bulid in India it would be cost around 25 lack or something....???
Had the car been named the "Ionic5" it would've been clenching-convenience. Wouldn't want that. Also on a more serious note, getting a luxury car with it's feature set and comfort notwithstanding, always meant that the trade-off was going to be lesser mileage. With Luxury EVs and their enormous space on offer, does it mean that it's range has a directly proportional relationship with the size of the car?
Hey Karthik! A bigger vehicle will have more space to pack in more batteries. Which equals more range - that’s about it. The weight penalty would be compensated for by the jump in energy storage.
One pedal driving sounds like we need to unlearn normal driving and learn EV driving again. Three pedals and manual gear shift is what I'm habituated with. Taking away the manual shift, the clutch itself is boring. Then EVs coming along and taking away the brake pedal too? Guess the next step is to take away steering and accelerator and give us a joystick like in video games. 😂😂😂
They're not taking the brake pedal away. They're just using regen as a chance to try something new... and it _can_ be very convenient. It's the same with reverse gear in e-scooters. It's something new and _can_ (but is not always) very convenient... and there's no reason to use if you don't think it is. Eventually? Eventually they take away everything so that the driving is automated and you can sit and chat with an AI bot on the journey 😆
Well i guess The Q stands for the Question mark. And yes the creta is ugly, the rear is ok though. But ioniq 5 is a design marvel. Its how an ultimate evolved polo or golf should be. The ioniq 6 is a mishmash of nissan 370z and porsce 911. However I love hatchbacks and to me this is the best looking hatch ever. Too bad its eccentric. Oops electric. Damn autocorrect.

I always enjoy the banter or rant whatever we can call shumi's fun way.
Hey Abhinav! First, the blurry image -- would you please check your settings. Our feedback says that this video is actually even more sharp than before. Second, there's no plan to add images. We believe you'll learn more by googling what piqued your interest than us showing you 2-3 second pop up images.
It will be fantastic if you add a small picture of the design/component/incident which you talk about. I tend to pause the video and find pictures about it. It’ll be great help if you add that feature.
We do want to you pause and search for things. MotorInc is about thinking and doing, not sitting back and consuming. We’re not going to adding stuff when we know that your pausing and searching improves your knowledge more
You guys should start bring some guests on the podcasts like the Motographer. It would be lovely to see like minded people discuss automotive stuff.
We do plan to. But not until we're ready with the logistics, setup etc needed to make the guest thing work. When we can achieve this quality level, we will for sure.
@@motorinc the quality is already top notch tbh. Content is also top class. All the other things I'm sure you will figure out soon enough. But make sure you invite "The Motographer".
Here on a Tuesday night, chilling, watching this ep. Really IONIQ moment. Always love ThisConnect ep, a good way to chill on a tuesday night
Glad to here that Mr E!
Loved it, was laughing throughout.
Loved the Ioniq's styling, reminded me a bit about the Golf Mk2 in design, not size.
I happened to visit a Hyundai showroom when the latest Tucson was launched and the best looking car of the lot was the Kona, to me.
Ioniq trumps that by a huge margin, seems like Hyundai has hired a different design team for the EVs.
Just to chime in, I think Kartikeya's camping trip should start with a call to the RSA so that by the time cooking, dinner and music is done and the car has run out of charge, the RSA would be nearby 😊
Also isn't that a Nespresso behind you guys on the table ? That could go for the coffee too 😊
On a serious note, respect Hyundai's presence and push in changing the market for the better.
Hyundai can be Hot and give us an i20 1.5 Turbo N-Line.
That will be seriously hot! The 1.5 is good!
Best duo ever. 🔥🔥🔥
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Thank you for fixing the audio.
You're welcome!
Honda (H): Harakiri: for what they’ve done to themselves over the past decade.
Toyota (T): Thalaiva: (needs no explanation)

Haha! Ouch.
To Shumi Sir, with all due respect, please don't take this otherwise, I'm saying this since I genuinely want this channel to grow and think that you guys might appreciate honest feedback on podcast style videos, Sir, I think you should wait for Kartikeya Sir to pass the ball, for one, a curious viewer could get a little bit annoyed, but more so because it's a bit unfair towards Kartikeya Sir and arguably disrespectful.
I know you will take this in good spirit for the person you are.
Feedback noted! Shumi's role is to move things along so that we can cover a lot of ground within 30-45 minutes (our usual podcast length).
Writing this at 17:32 : The better way to compare the interior space offered by an ICE vehicle and a born EV is to compare the wheelbases. Picture this, the only ICE car sold in India
Great point Anant!
I have been living with one right next to me,my neighbor has it... At start it does look like a car how films in 80's said what future would look like.... But it only has that 15 mins of wow, after that it's just that one fluorescent green sneaker that you thought is funky when you bought but now you don't know when to wear it actually...
Fortunately, how it looks and the wow it creates is just the start of the experience. After that we have to start living with it and as Kartikeya says, the Ioniq 5 seems to be a promising car!
The video looks a lot more crisp than before.
Thanks Aman!
I was not sure that I will able to watch car content that to be electric car but kartikeya and shumi made it so fun and informative to watch . But I have a question, if electric cars will be future let's say in 40 -45 years what about ice performance motorcycles like 650 twins , Dukes , liter class , as in previous podcast shumi said mid level adv motorcycles market will be bomming from Himalayan 450 .what the future will i able to ride motorcycles till my 50s or old age ?? Thankyou for such informative,fun and chill Content kartikeya,shumi and motoInc team take care 🙏❤️
I’m 40 years ICE will be history. As for how long we will have two wheelers on the road - that’s a tough question. With autonomous cars it will become a new world. Non-autonomous two-wheelers will they exist? Painful thought. But.. let’s enjoy now! And thanks for being here!
eGMP's main advantage is the DC charging performance. Can pull 240 kW at max. With more high speed DC chargers on our highways now, will be a great road tripping EV
Now this is the podcast we need 😊😂❤
♥️
"The ugliest creta ever😂"
Shumi❤️ that was a great point. Talk like this talk openly!!
31:37 they added a plug point,so they had to give it a name😂
Good to see you again Ananthan! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
@@motorinc good to see you guys too. You guys read most of the comments, don't you✊🏻️😄.. That is good.. You can improve and make sure you are delivering nice content
Of course! The comments aren't for the algorithm... they're for us! 😊
Not really a car guy but still watched the entire thing. Engaging as always!
Thanks Daksh!
Please make a podcast on Superbike Exhaust. History, Its Pros and Cons . and After EV how exhaust will be missed.
Can do! Thanks for the suggestion!
Oh man .. Shumi got all the punch lines … hilarious 😂😂
🤣🤜🏽🤛🏽
Can you make a video of touring new trends of users in touring and what the vehicle need for touring suspension, engine, storage, tanks, every possible thing pls
Trends in touring? 🤣
But yes we can certainly make a series that demystifies the process of touring of a motorcycle
@MotorInc trends I mean to say now the person who likes to go on tour tries to capture moments and difficulties he has faced to make memory or to share on platform
Ah. Do watch out for a future episode coming within the next 2-3 weeks
The puns on the vehicle names, what a bull to a real bull & the nirodh jokes!😂😂😂 Boy I've learnt everything from this video!😂
Shumi asked a question - Why does innovation happen in EVs and not in ICE Cars, why fancy tech is offered in EVs and hype is made around. To which Kartikeya's answer was "All EVs have same experience and hence they need to show the difference".
I have a different take on this. Car makers like Hyundai have been selling ICE cars for decades now, they have already built a ICE platform and have series of different car segments on those platforms. When a customer walks in the Hyundai experience center he/she is going to see a lineup of Venue, Verna and Tucson which are ICE cars and have different power, and more or less a set feature set.
Hyundai has to think how do I convince this customer to switch to EV or how do I ensure that he buys from Hyundai. Just having a decent range and torque is not going to help (other brands to offer it)
Having a highly tech enabled car in the segment differentiates the product from the same brands ICE counterparts, which also justifies the high price for the EV. This is where I feel Indian brands like Mahindra and Tata should learn to differentiate their EV from regular ICE cars.
Consumer needs to shift to EV or alternate fuel but just the powertrain is not sufficient, people need something more and significant.
So in the end, Hyundai is like "Come to us, buy the Tucson for 40L or buy the future for just 55L", but do buy only from us. :)
The point here wasn’t so much about ICE vs EV, but as to why EVs are the way they are. Going hi-tech is the way forward. With EVs, there’s just no option. Tech is the core of the offering. 🤷♂️ Does that make sense?
I think Shumi sir is seeing this vehicle in the context of India only whereas it is a global product the lounge feature is used for when you have to halt for charging in a road trip you can see Netflix on the screen and lounge there and camping is pretty common in west so there is a use for the 3 pin socket there. I do agree with the regen mode though I think it should be changed with sports mode eco mode etc and a custom like the n button in international vehicles.
The guy with long hair is camouflaged in his chair , but that doesn't affect his knowledge on this car review. Kudos to both of you, great content.✌
Thanks Bhushan!
I like the title/brand this connect , wanted to know who gave the name.
If we remember correctly it was being discussed and sort of popped up... so we'd say team effort
But very forgettable or confusing to remember name
Thank you.
You're welcome! ❤️
Hehe. Those sun/moon roof, ottomans, calf extensions, etc will make a lot of sense when VanLife kicks off here. Property prices are on the rise, these electrics are practically 1BHKs on the move.
Nice pod tho.
What would you guys suggest, pull an early trigger on an electric now, or go out with a bang by owning the last diesels we'll ever see? 😉
Hola Sah! Thank you! And beaut of an idea - hehe - Camper life finally takes off in India! ICE in many ways is more logical and practical for more. EV - is more emotional and well suited to few (charging, usage has to be high). What would work for you?
@@motorinc ICE all the way. Atleast until the govt is supportive or till they have the right kind of infra.
How in the world did you get confused with the regen controls of the kona/ioniq??
It's so simple that when I first stepped into the car,i enjoyed the controls.
Jeeez
can we get some information on their wardrobe as well? I really want to know what shoes Shumi is wearing
🤣✌🏽
Informative.
♥️
Maybe a discussion over breaking into a vehicle will help a lot of viewers with upcoming purchases.
Won’t be a purchase then! Also no TikTok trends here!
Do one on SUV vs sedans
Can do!
It was funny when you guys were discussing the name😂.
IONIC compounds are a broad category of chemicals which are important components of the batteries, maybe hence IONIQ.
🤷
Ionic 5s are super common taxis in South Korea.
Hey guys!
I'm fairly new to the 2 wheeler community and lack knowledge.
Will you guys suggest which bike to buy? I commute from near Panvel to almost Andheri and the local train and metro commute makes me question my life choices 😆.
The distance is around 36 kms for an hour (total 72 kms and 2 hrs) , and half of it is highway and the other half is city. Considering the fuel prices and the daily commute, I was looking towards electric alternatives, (not scooters) but I'm also open to ICE options. Considering it's a fairly large distance, a bike with an upright stance would be the most suitable, right? is the distance big enough to overlook many options just because of the riding stance? should I wait for better EV alternatives?
(I can charge the ev in the office parking)
Hey MG! We can help after you have a list of vehicles that you think will work for you. It will also help us if you have taken test rides on as many of the vehicles on your list as possible.
@@motorinc I'll be honest, I can't really ride motorcycles that well. I've only driven my friend's motorcycles and that too fairly slowly. I have an Activa, so I'm only good with scooters. So no test rides either. Though I want to ride a motorcycle because I love them.
I have a car and can drive well, so I think I know how shifting gears would work on a motorcycle. Although I'll really know when I actually ride one. 😆
I have shortlisted a few:-
Revolt 400
TVS Raider
Matter Aera 5000+
Oben Rorr
Hero Xpulse 200T 4V
Avenger 160 street
TVS Ronin
Yamaha FZ-X
Keeway SR 125 & 250
Ig the budget would be around 1.5 Lakhs.
I'm open to buying used ones as well.
@@motorinc guys....?
Hey. Raider makes the most sense to us as a first and fun motorcycle. Many of the electrics you’ve listed we haven’t seen in the flesh, in production form yet - can’t recommend those
@@motorinc Thank You guys, I also through my own research (mostly after typing the OG comment )and thinking practically ( looks & other biases aside and mostly convincing myself 🤣) arrived at the conclusion that the Raider was the bike which seems to be the most sensible choice. Even though I do earn, I also had to convince my parents 😂. Your opinion mattered a lot for that.
Now that my choice has been validated by the experts, I can finally take action on my decision with a smile. Thanks a lot guys!! You're the best.
On those blutooth speakers that Shumi brings to the campsite, he should play himself talking about cars, especially EVs.. 🙊 Will be more effective than Honey/Mika Singh stuff for sure..
Haha!
Here's something that I don't get, brands have full fledged manufacturing facilities in India but still they choose to import certain models. I think they should try to manufacture models locally which they want to do well in India.
Yeah. It makes no sense to us either
Does that same concept apply on charging car batteries that we apply on charging phones.( Not to charge in until completely drained ?
🤔 We usually hear the opposite @MR_G_YOUNG, the first and the last 10% is usually where Li-ion batteries are at their most stress so try not to let them discharge to that low unless you can't avoid it. Same goes for charging beyond 90% as well. To be very clear, you aren't actively damaging the battery if you let it drain below 10% or charge it above 90%. But if you want to increase your chances of protecting the battery's longevity, it's a good idea to do this.
How about a podcast about our indian bike brands bajaj and tvs about what they are doing about their performance oriented bikes like bajaj pulsar series and their delay for updates like ns200 .
And tvs apache series like what better shld they do with it .
Can do!
well, I never missed a single episode of This connect, but I personally don’t find the relevance of this episode to my benefit whatsoever. Hence skipping the 48 minutes and gonna sleep early. Will catch you up in the next one.
No worries! That's completely fair! Good night!
I also have a habit of sitting with my legs folded on a sofa or any chair for that matter and some people would call it unprofessional behavior. But is it though??? I have never seen anyone else doing it until Kartikey..
Haha!
Any reason why you guys didn’t did MotorInc First for luxury cars (BMW, Audi, Merc etc.) and bikes (Tiger, Versys, R1300 GS etc.) !!!
Hey @titravel! We're working out how to. We're not convinced that our current formats deal with lifestyle/luxury vehicles well enough... stay tuned!
My friend used to call REs as a”chalta fhirta vibrator” 😅
Loved it
♥️
Fully agree with Shumi on Ugliness of the 2nd gen Creta. I had the 1st gen and love the design still.
High five Akhil! 😊
Why you dontdon't have a channel logo?
We do! We just don't feel the need to have it on screen 24x7
@@motorinc oh there was problem with my browser I guess, your YT icon was blank. On YT app it's fine.
I have a better answer to Shumi’s question as to why we have features like pattern created by light in EV. It’s done because manufacturers want something to break in EVs and they can have fix it later and generate income during periodic service 😂😂😂 more gismos more things to manage and higher service bills which were not needed in IC
EVs have fewer parts so a lot less to go wrong. Unlikely that electric bits will be as much of an issue. Gizmos plenty in ICE too. 🤷♂️ it’s the subscription features that we’ll have to watch out for.
You can charge one car with the other and go air force one style (drive & charge simultaneously). Just saying.
🤣🤣🤣
I’m waiting for Tata to come up with a long range 70KWh car. Can’t imagine how much better their price will be.
Both the Ioniq and ev6 are still niche cars.
Eventually they must. Safari EV Max and Harrier EV Max... right?
Engine is the massage 🙂
Try Tony Kakkar and her sister's songs on the speakers. Even mountains will cry when you play them in wild.
Will there be wireless charging for EVs as well ? 😋
Hola! It’s been in development for a while. A wireless charging road has been tested in Sweden. Check it out!
Have seen multiple videos after this relating to car review. Shumi had converted most of them into comedy shows. we see these reviews to learn about the car. if we like comedy, there are many videos. I think Karthik need to do something about this for good.
Thanks for your feedback.
Campling vlog ft shumi in the ioniq
Note: it HAS to feature shumi and a fridge and an induction cooker and if possible a porta-potty
Can't wait to hear how much more uncomfortable and hence better it wouve been on ferocitas
Small flaw... you're classifying discomfort as a bad thing. We think camping is the search for maximum comfort in a place of discomfort. And if it's comfortable enough, it's no longer camping at all! 🤣
and the new verna?
Once we drive it! 😆
Tongue twister this
🤣
Thank you shumi for calling it I C E car instead of ice. Tired of it
10:31
No worries! 🤣
Finally I FOUND SHUMI
Welcome to MotorInc!
Nice ev....... hyundai.
😄
I think the design differences that are there are because
We perceive Electrics as things of the future...
ICE have been in our lives for a long time now, all the "tech" came later
Having an ICE vehicle which we are used to see everyday, with weird panels and edgy look would feel something's wrong
It would be more polarizing than seeing it on an EV
Brands are trying to make EV look more technologically advanced so you get a feeling you're getting something superior and futuristic (also because of the quiet cabin)
Plus, yes, less moving parts....and like I mentioned the whole perception thing, and also the differentiation to make it different from the ICE cars
They don't want us to compare them in an apples to apples manner like "a car and a car"
They want us to go "an ICE and an EV"
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
So kia ev 6 is imported that y it cost 50 lack... 100 % increase for imported cars right? So if it it's bulid in India it would be cost around 25 lack or something....???
It would cost around 50L if it was partly assembled, like the Ioniq. EV6 is brought in as a complete car - so duty is higher.
Had the car been named the "Ionic5" it would've been clenching-convenience.
Wouldn't want that.
Also on a more serious note, getting a luxury car with it's feature set and comfort notwithstanding, always meant that the trade-off was going to be lesser mileage.
With Luxury EVs and their enormous space on offer, does it mean that it's range has a directly proportional relationship with the size of the car?
Hey Karthik! A bigger vehicle will have more space to pack in more batteries. Which equals more range - that’s about it. The weight penalty would be compensated for by the jump in energy storage.
One pedal driving sounds like we need to unlearn normal driving and learn EV driving again.
Three pedals and manual gear shift is what I'm habituated with. Taking away the manual shift, the clutch itself is boring. Then EVs coming along and taking away the brake pedal too? Guess the next step is to take away steering and accelerator and give us a joystick like in video games. 😂😂😂
They're not taking the brake pedal away. They're just using regen as a chance to try something new... and it _can_ be very convenient. It's the same with reverse gear in e-scooters. It's something new and _can_ (but is not always) very convenient... and there's no reason to use if you don't think it is.
Eventually? Eventually they take away everything so that the driving is automated and you can sit and chat with an AI bot on the journey 😆
@@motorinc If someone cracks full self driving for India, they would be called as motoring God... 🤞
Well i guess The Q stands for the Question mark. And yes the creta is ugly, the rear is ok though. But ioniq 5 is a design marvel. Its how an ultimate evolved polo or golf should be. The ioniq 6 is a mishmash of nissan 370z and porsce 911. However I love hatchbacks and to me this is the best looking hatch ever. Too bad its eccentric. Oops electric. Damn autocorrect.
Ashes! We agree fully on this, the Ioniq 5 is superb to look at! It's just very very large for a hatch!
