U cant add petrol calculation to this
@@powerdriftofficialseat is ridiculous 😂😂
This is going to eat away a lot of sales of electric scooters I think.
It sure makes a lot of sense - less infrastructure dependance and lower upfront costs as well
Lol 🤣 @@powerdriftofficial
You are right..

Seating capacity 3 - 6 😮
🤣🤣
Police wale mamu wants to join the chat.
But it doesn't look like comfortable for the rider. 🤔
This long seat with a powerful 250+cc bike. Perfect comfortable tourer.
longer seats because it will also be an export motorcycle for African countries where there is no such restriction of 2 passengers on a motorcycle
This bike is really good for those who work for Food and package delivery as a full cng tank can do a whole day work nice ❤
For sure!
It looks like Honds Navi scooter from top portion.
A lil bit yes 😝
There are not many CNG station where i live but still more than Public Ev chargers
Yup that is a concern we will address in our review!
You are getting it wrong EVs for them who install the charger in their home or apartment and EVs are only for the majority of commuters as they majorly use vehicles for in city
In middle east a lot of people order online delivered by bikers.This thing has a market in middle east and south american poor countries
In India too!
Nobody will buy, very less overall range compared to 10L fuel tank 125ccs
@@redeyedninja7414and how many times do you ride a motorcycle in a full tank?
@@ahmedAli-ok7gz I'm underage by all my friends do and one of them owns 2023 Duke 250 and also unicorn 163cc
@@redeyedninja7414 what i meant to say was why would anyone buy a 125cc motorcycle of any brand with an intention to ride 500+km anyway 🤔
Looks like an ideal competitor for honda Navi! 😄 Bt yea interesting product for sure! Hilarious how at the start of the video you said "Quick-Ease" and at the end you just said it - "quickies" - video format naming purpose served! 😄
hahahaha
Karan seems to be good at Quick-Ease 😉
@@powerdriftofficial well that's where 'Freedom' and it's massive seat gets you at!😄
Or 2-3L (total 4/5L petrol) capacity de deta to maja aya jata.
I think the main challenge will be for the product is not the new tech but the availability of CNG pump.
The sad reality is there is very very few CNG pump across the country and inside the cities.
And CNG is slowly marching towards petrol price
The CNG infra is a very real concern, the size of the petrol tank however isn’t a big one - bigger tank will add weight and won’t give users enough incentive to ride on CNG mode
Andar utna jagah nahi tha re
Very good initiative from Bajaj...
This is a game changer for the Swiggy Zomato Flipkart Amazon delivery guys
We hope so
Very good looking bike, Game changer for transport and delivery boys
Yup
CNG in a bike... Feels like riding a bomb
We are sure safety was a priority when Bajaj started this project
Its more of a misconception I think. Besides CNG is a lot safer than something like LPG.
The engineers who conceptualised and designed this were on some really great stuff. The ones who named this though, they used the spare change from the engineer's budget. 😂
We assume it's a throwback to the LML Freedom
@@powerdriftofficial it also reminds me of the "Freedom 251" tablet :D
India is doing innovation, it starts like this . . .Good one. All the best Bajaj.
We agree!
I often see around 3-4 people on a Splendor. Pretty sure this can accommodate 5 people. XD
🤣
Its no less than a Hatch back after all😅
Competition for golmaal bike
Kudos to the Bajaj design team 👍👌
+1 on that!
This is the must have commuter arround, For those who are worrying about the safety if this let me tell you that I'm working in a Company in india where we manufacture these CNG tanks using very high precision machines & stringent quality checkpoints. So you don't have to worry about the safety.. Go Ahead with this.. This is the real future of Vehicle Industry
It feels nice yeah
I have few questions but answers are not available.
1. How much percentage of ethanol mixed petrol this bike can sustain?
2. Can i run this bike only on CNG without using any petrol throughout the bikes lifetime?
3. Can this bike climb a mountain pass with 30 degree steep incline while carrying a payload of 130 kg on cng fuel?
4. Does this bike need approval of RTO for every 2 years for cng tank?
I will buy this for sure not only for me but for a clean environment as well.
Awesome!
2 litres capacity?! What the hell were they thinking? CNG isn't as freely available as petrol. If one has to rely more on petrol for daily commuting, that would mean frequent visits to the petrol pump. Everything else is great, terrific design as well, just the fuel carrying capacity limits its travel capabilities...
Petrol switch over option is available
@@saiprithvi3154 the issue is of CNG availablity. Very few CNG pumps are there and even they have very long queues. That's going to be an irritation for users.
The concern is real, we shall address it in our review!
Bajaj rock...pls launch this CNG option in scooter segment...
We don't think that will be soon, unless this is a roaring success
@@powerdriftofficial yes bro...but bajaj why not focus on scooter segment in petrol...already they have. Chetak in ev version..now a days scooter like by many people from college guys to senior people for multiple usage..
Meanwhile CNG stations are always crowded,govt should focus on increasing cng stagions rather than launching new cng vehicles
+1 on increasing CNG stations
Svartpilen and Platina had a kid together. 😂 Looks cool for a commuter
Not a fan?
Could this lead to higher capacity motorcycles? Of course if this product is successful. How about ease of filling the gas considering already dense CNG stations. On the parallel what actions are being taken to develop more CNG stations
No actions are being taken by Bajaj for CNG stations - but they trust that the increase in demand for CNG will lead to more stations
Higher capacity CNG motorcycles? In theory, yes but since the name of the game is efficiency - it will probably be restricted to commuters
Up to 200 cc motorcycles are very much possible don’t you think?
Sitting on top a CNG tank 💀, Surely its safe right?
Bajaj has done 11 internal tests, including puncture tests and head on collisions - none of them showed any deformation of the tank or loss of pressure
No problem sitting in front of a 10 kg/55 litre tank kept inside a tin can that is cut into two by a splendor going at 70 kmph, but concerned about sitting on a 2 kg tank that is enclosed by one of the sturdiest motorcycle chassis design?
@@powerdriftofficial Are 11 Internal tests sufficient. They should continuously do the test to ensure that there is no safety concern in different weather conditions. One does not after 2 years or 3 years is the safety mechanism still holds good.
@@Shivakumar-td4czI think its 11 types of tests and not 11 tests total
Karan Singh makes it look so simple.
Adding the ease to QuickEase
i think the design is too unique ang good, nice work bajaj
yeah! Pretty unique
Sunlight test needed..as cng is ther ..summer test we need
Sunlight and CNG are not connected
That seat!!!!! Full family is gonna travel on this thing ... Forget tripsy ... 4-5 people easily
Cops have entered the chat
Tank range very low for commuter. A 125cc commuter usually gives 700kms range
Yup that's true!
this motorcycle is not meant for a long ride and who is buying a 125cc motorcycle with a mindset of riding it for 700+km 😂
Doesnt matter. There is a petrol station roughly 50Km even in highways and in a day you can only travel for 300-350 Kms.. There is no electric bike with that range and with good ride quality
Its a compromise between lower operating costs and more frequent trips to the gas station. But I guess the intended demographic wouldn't mind the latter if there were more gas CNG stations around in our country. I think it will be the infrastructural limitations that will fail this bike rather than its design limitations.
Imagine braking and ending up at the handle bar😂
Supersport brakes!
I think this engine can be tuned to run on HHO Oxyhydrgen. (Practically free)
Will test it some time soon.
Whooaa!
When is the ride review coming?
14th!
Nishant bro is epic .. we shud create a fan club page for him

Good design good mileage good price everything is good
good comment
iirc LML Freedom used to be a bike, did Bajaj buy the name from them or have they taken over LML ??
No news on that
❤❤❤ PowerDrift

Hello Shashank!
Should have shown the cng tanks.
More on that in the full review
ABS should have been provided. Atleast in form of variant. Instead they have given Halogen and LED variants!
Good quality LED bulbs are available in market (i.e Osram, Philips) to replace stock Halogen bulbs but ABS cannot be installed by customers.
We hope the government makes it mandatory at some point
The name reminds me of LML Freedom 😁
haha of course
Waiting for this bike with so excited way but capicity of tank(4ltr total) disappointed me now 😢
How much did you expect?
@@powerdriftofficialatleast 6 ltr both
Bajaj managed to make thos bike look a little like an offloader. It'll look good as a higher displacement motorcycle too.
A sporty touch to the CNG commuter wasn’t what we were expecting either
This is the first 4 seater motorcycle in India.
Golmaal
The feeling of sitting on the cng bomb is something different 😂
Well well well
what is the plan of bajaj with this, can this go international also, like russia, middle east, africa etc
It could!
seat hai ya bister 🤣
Underrated!
I hope that CNG tank doesnt explode. That would be a bad day
Bajaj have done multiple tests when it comes to safety.
What about gear shifts ?
Like a regular motorcycle - 4 up, 1 down
Audio is very low for me.. is it just me? Idk
Just you it seems. Haven't received any other comment on audio here.
453 Hilbert Parkway
I think in scooty segment it will rocks more...
We are sure someone is working on this!

❤🙌🏻
Hey there!
The main con is the missing of auto fuel switch.
But the manual switch isn't too painful
Cng stations must have increase, then only this bike will success, and other thing is in 2kg cng tank only 1.25 cng will only fulled, not 2kg cng
Good point. Ye bhi test karege
Nice one bajaj!

Confused iske seat dekh kar ye Rapido bike mei list hogi ya Rapido Taxi. Kudos to Bajaj for this Innovation.
Commercial value toh dikh raha hay
Superb bike
superb idea for sure, we’ll find out how the bike is very soon
Like Karan said, it’s a great idea - we’ll ride it before saying more!
Instead bike bajaj could have launched a scooter which could have catered to larger section of users.
But motorcycles >
Reminds me of ducati hypermotard 😅
Haha the seat? Us too :P
It can accommodate 3 people as well...
Looks like it but we aren't suggesting anything
Why don't they use this long seat on other powerful bikes like 250cc or 400cc bike. That would be very interesting.
Higher capacity motorcycles tend to move to a split seat for a sportier look
@@powerdriftofficialyes, that's true. But that's not at all comfortable. Most comfortable spacious higher capacity bikes are from RE
Petrol m sirf 2 Ltr ka tank hai jaha 100 KM bike chalegi uske baad 2 KG CNG bharwao jaha 200 KM bike chalegi.
Matlab har 200-250KM k baad kuj na kuj bharwana hi padega either CNG or petrol. Kya lagta hai ?
Jee ha!
This design looks better than the new N and F series.
You like the design or the length?
Is this bike have universal gear?😍
5 speed bud!
@@powerdriftofficial gear type brother
Seating capacity: Full family
🤣
is it 4 seater
2 plis
Whats the idea or logic behind such a long seat ? Delivery agents luggage bags ?
That could be one reason for sure. We also think the longer seat has made the packaging of the CNG tank a bit neater
Break marte hi driver tank pe chad jayega.
Kaafi chota tank hai
could have offered seatbelts atleast
Not a 4W clearly !
Monoshock to link type hai❤❤, gajab hai Bajaj, 1 lakh ki bike mei dediya link type par pulsar range mein nahi 😢
Jee haa
Companies should also think for cng scooters.
We are sure companies are thinking!
I'm I seeing Ducati Scrambler kind?
We are seeing Husky
Now cng lines will be much longer
And hopefully there will be more CNG pumps!
I have a bajaj ct100 delivering 95-98 km/pl on highwayys
Sure! The CT is known for incredible efficiency
Seat design might leads to forward slip of rider while sudden braking
Grip the tank with your thighs friend!
Alloys wheels thinknees palti hai moto majdoot aur chauda dena chahiye na ki patli dena chahiye jaise platina thik alloys wheels mota chauda karna chahiye
Chalo thank you ji comment karne ke liye
Lets start a game of how many people can fit on that seat. I say more than 5 easily.
Doubtful!
Very fine
Je baat
Interesting!!!
Very!
@@powerdriftofficial yeah. I mean it is a break through! "First in the world" means a Lot...!! Indian company Bajaj will be the pioneers on this technology-sounds amazing!
My height 6’2ft so comfortable for me or not.!! Because i have hero spender plus bike aisa lagta hai choti bike par khali bethal diya ho.!! Please response
Stay tuned for our first ride review for the answer!
I ain't trusting anything named Freedom. I get flashbacks of a certain promised phone that remains undelivered.

A scooter version is the need of the hour.
Is it?
nice
👌🏻👌🏻
We think so too!
So driving on a cylinder 🤔
Kehna kya chahte ho? 🧐
@@powerdriftofficialis it safe! Reality comes true only on road experience 😊
Finally David putra lite❤
900
Wonder why they didnt go for a scooter design.
We think it's because of the popularity of electric scooters - while EV bikes haven't really picked up, allowing for an alternative fuel motorcycle to capitalise
Best bike for rapido, swiggy riders
Commercial value seems strong here
फ्यूल टैंग की कैपिसिटी थोड़ा और बड़ा देते तो 4 चांद ओर लग जाते
Weight bhi utna hi badh jaata
2L petrol 2kg Cng, so with constant refueling it's neither cng nor a petrol bike 🤦
Bi-fuel!
@@powerdriftofficial nah more like Re-Fuel!😂
Agar cylinder phata to pahale kya phatega
Patha nai magar do gola dhundna padega 😂.
Aap batao!
It looks like a 4 seater 2wheeler😂😂😂😂
All we can say is - one pillion is as many as anyone should take!
what happen if it collided with other vehicle
We can't say for sure. Bajaj has done internal crash testing where it passed without damage or pressure loss from the tank.
God of rapido drivers❤
Hahahaha
Still skeptical about safety 🤔🤔
Bajaj showcased quite a few eye-opening videos where the motorcycle was hit by a 1.5 tonne weight head on, ridden over by a truck and more. The bike was mangled but the frame protected the cylinder from any damage at all. The real world is different though and only time will tell!
