Automobiles are the most preferred means of transport in an urban scenario owing to their ease of use, freedom and convenience. The increasing urbanization due to rapid development of the economy has resulted in an explosion of vehicles on the urban roads over the past decade clogging the roads to such an extent that driving a car or wide track vehicles is nearly impossible. The exploding traffic scenario poses a lot of problems like congestion, air pollution, noise pollution, frustration etc. The lack of adequate infrastructure and space also adds to the issues of congestion and increasing traffic jams in the cities. Protection from the elements like rain, dust and smoke is another factor forcing commuters to drive big, inefficient vehicles to the workplace rather than riding a single track motorcycle, which offers no or minimum rider protection. Also, the inadequacy of Mass transport systems and a general perception of the vehicle as a necessity rather than a luxury is resulting in higher rates of vehicle ownership. All these issues call for a new segment of vehicles which is for urban commuting addressing the issues of rider protection, parking, and pollution as well as making vehicles fun to ride.
