Hero RNT 150 Diesel Scooter Concept
Hero
unveiled a 150cc diesel engine powered motorcycle called the RNT. The
oil burner, with its square lines, flat surfaces and 1980′s Sci-fi aesthetics
looks fantastically practical and more like a scooter than a motorcycle.
The RNT concept weighs about 300 lbs, has a top speed of 44mph,
and a tank capacity of 1.5 gallons. At that weight, the Hero RNT 150 is quite
pudgy compared to your typical 150cc scooter but the potential benefits of the
increased efficiency and range of the Diesel might make up for that.
To top it all off, the concept features two wheel drive. Itll
be interesting to see if and how Hero goes forward with this concept.
The wide, flat-loading surfaces,
as well as multi-use folding side racks, a large comfortable seat and spacious
footboards are novelties never seen on a motorcycle before, Hero MotoCorp MD &
CEO Pawan Munjal said after unveiling the concept model in the capital. Under
the surface, there is just as much that is new, exciting and practical. It comes
with a high torque 150cc diesel engine with an optional turbocharger.
Regardless, this is an interesting and potentially useful idea
from a motorcycle manufacturer with global ambitions.
