"met wid a minor accident on ma Byke.." ?


i just hit my Honda Unicorn (150cc. motorcycle) to a taxi yesterday..
the handle got bent and the suspension got tilted..
can i claim the insurance for that to get the repair bill paid by the insurance company??
apprx. it would cost around INR 1500..(a local mechanic's estimate)
i can still drive it w/o any difficulty but a local mecanic said i would be dangerous..
ple help how to come out of it with least expenses

You can avail the insurance service. However you need to consider certain points before availing insurance benefits
Low amounts should never be claimed.

For instance, the payments of insurance co.s is maximum % in the intial claims. Eg. If you claim the insurance for just rs.1500, they may fund you for about 70% ( around 1050), If at any time later you need to claim for say some 30/40 K, you will get less than 50 %, reason being second claim.

So, In case of minor repairs it is not adviceable to claim insurance. Not just the % funding, in case of claims, you will forfeit the premium discount ( no claim bonus)

Which is the best E-byke in Delhi with speed more than 40km?


Hi, I am interested in purchasing Electronic Byke with speed more than 40 km. I am also interested in knowing which is the best Company so far and what are the prices in this category. Are they successful in Delhi road. Please give me updated status in this regard.

Who cares? So far all commercially available electric bikes are rubbish. Once the petrol runs out I'll give up riding bikes (assuming I'm still here).

  • I owned and created the New York City Bicycle Show and the Boston Bicycle Show — both consumer events and both now in hibernation — and there's a lot of truth in what you say. Here was my experience:

    If I called Cannondale, Specialized, or Trek and asked them to attend the folks in marketing would say, “I dunno… $900 for a booth? Can't you give us a discount? How about if we give you a used demo hybrid bike in trade?” (What did your company earn last year — like $4 billion?) Giant Bicycles was the exception to the rule — always supportive of consumer shows. More on that later.

    “We don't really care about consumer shows,” the corporate marketing folks would say, “But talk to our local sales rep — if they recommend that we attend we'll do it.”

    So I would contact the local sales rep, who would say, “I don't really care about consumer shows, but talk to our local retailers — if they recommend that we attend we'll do it.” It's hard to underestimate the importance of having a sales rep at the show — the consumers really want to say to their friends, “Yeah, I know a guy at Specialized that I met last week at the show…”

    When I talked to the local retailers some of them understood immediately: “Great! I'm a big customer of Acme Bicycles — I'm telling my sales rep that they need to support me. I'll provide the bicycles (so they don't have to ship them all to the show from the factory) and we'll help staff the booth, but Acme has to pay for the booth space and send a rep. If the company wants I'll pay for the booth space and just knock it off of my next invoice. (This is a deal for the manufacturers of course since they are in essence paying for their booth space with barter at wholesale prices.) When a customer says to the sales rep at our booth, “Cool bike — where can I buy one?” they point to my team and we're all set. I can also bring all of my blow-out merchandise and get ride of it all at once.”

    Other retailers just looked at me blankly — bike show? Consumers? What? There's nothing wrong with deciding that a show is just not for you, but for some the whole concept went right over their heads. I could see the glassy look in their eyes and after I tried to explain it for the third time I would just give up.''

    Some of our best supporters were shops that I believe simply strong-armed their suppliers in to supporting them: “We're your biggest customer in our region and you WILL show up and buy booth space for us.”

    You are correct that one of the keys here is the sales reps — even if corporate is excited about a show, it's just one more weekend of unpaid work for the sales reps. I can't blame them for lacking excitement.

    The other challenge is travel expenses. Our shows were in New York and Boston — two expensive markets for hotels. As one manufacturer said, “It's not the price of the booth space — it's the price of shipping the bikes, flying in a bunch of people, and paying for hotel space for them.” The secret here is to use your LOCAL retailers to provide the bikes and the staff, but some companies insisted on sending all of their own crew. I understand that urge, but it's expensive.

    Sometimes it was the sales reps who were supportive but they couldn't get their bosses to buy in. I chased Litespeed for ages to attend my shows, and just couldn't convince them. So in exasperation I contacted a good guy who was one of their sales reps and said, “Fine. I'm going to give you a double booth at the Boston show for free, because once you see what it's all about, you'll want to come back.”

    Sure enough, his booth was swamped and he was convinced. When I asked him to book space at our next show he said sheepishly, “Uh… the folks at headquarters want to know if you would be interested in a used demo frame for yourself in barter instead of paying for booth space.” No thanks.

    It was always a chicken and egg thing — the consumers would show up if a lot of bike companies were there, and the bike companies would show if there were a lot of consumers. I always felt that at the very least I needed to make sure that the Big Four were there (Cannondale, Giant, Speicailized, and Trek) and it was like pulling teeth to get them to attend. I would always say to them, “We have a room full of people who are willing to pay money to see the exact same stuff they can see in a bike shop for free — don't you want to meet those people?”

    The final word may belong to the fantastic Russ Okawa of Giant Bicycles. He was at the final year of our New York show when a customer asked me, “Why aren't there more bike companies here?” So I turned to Russ in the Giant booth and said, “Hey Russ, this guy wants to know why more bike companies aren't here — what do you think?” and he said, “I have no idea why they wouldn't want to be here.”
