Regular Washing, Cleaning and Hygiene is crucial to everyone, even our vehicles. It is really necessary to maintain one’s two-wheeler to retain from any external or sometimes even internal damage. Regular and scheduled cleaning days are required for two-wheelers to be safe from rusting, pollution damages or even to cool the vehicles. If not cleaned regularly, the dust and collected mud residue might damage the external plastic or metal body of any two-wheeler. Below mentioned are some very essential tips a two-wheeler owner must know for keeping their property healthy, safe and risk free.

a. Start with the Wheels
- Rinsing off the brake dust, mud residue, and accumulated dirt from the wheeles and its guards would be an initiating action. Pressure washing these dirt would be more wise as the dirt can be a bit difficult to remove. Therefore, power washes at the garage are suggested for vehicles that are used on an everyday basis.

b. Use the correct cleaner
- Specific vehicle cleaners are available in the market for effective cleaning as they are specifically made for vehicle cleaning. If one opts to wash their vehicle without a vehicle shampoo a mild hair shampoo is considerable and should not be left to dry.

c. Use a brush for the crevasses
- To clean the unreachable cracks a normal towel would not be effective. So, a soft painters brush would do the job really easily.

d. Do Not Let the Shampoo rest
- The vehicle cleaning agent should not be left to dry on the two-wheeler. This may cause the paint on the bike or scooter to peel and damage its exterior. Thus, thorough water washes are required to keep the two-wheeler intact.

e. Dry every part of the two-wheeler
- Pressure drying or hand drying the entire vehicle is crucial. From the exterior to the internal electricals must be dried in-order to avoid any electrical or engine failure.

f. WAX!
- Applying wax to the two-wheeler will create a thin film of protective layer that will temporarily protect the bike or scooter from any external body damage.

A Helmet is the most crucial safety gear that is used while riding a two-wheeler. Helmets are the head safety gear that is essential to protect a rider from any possible incident that may occur. It is also one of the most effective protective gear available while driving a two-wheeler. Its effectiveness is showcased when it perfectly fits the riders head, incorporating both comfort and safety. Below mentioned are some simple ways that can help an individual to select the best fitting helmet for their ride.

1. Recognize the right shape of your head
- Most helmets are made to fit the three distinct head circumferences; long oval, intermediate oval and round oval. Knowing the right head circumference will help one to short list their options of helmets and different sizes.

2. Measuring the circumference
- Manually measuring the head circumference with a measuring tape will help recognize the accurate sizing of the helmet that would be the best fit for one’s head. This will also determine what style of helmet would best fit the person's head.

3. Check the accessories
- The added accessories include removable pads, helmet straps, vents, visor and more. It is important to evaluate how these accessories would complement the helmet’s fit. Rather than focusing on the looks of a safety helmet, it is crucial to recognize and take advantage of its safety benefits. The nepali market has brands such as Shark, AGV, SMK, Strom, Studds and more in the best safety two-wheeler helmets.

INTRODUCTION:
Komaki is an Indian electric vehicle manufacturing company that has been coming into the limelight these days. Being the very first Indian manufacturer of an electric cruiser bike, post-launch the company has been able to release a wide variation in the electric two-wheeler segment. The race of various electric scooters and two-wheelers entering the Nepali Market is getting rigorous. Among the 10 Komaki electric scooters, Nepali market has recently received and witnessed the launch of the Komaki SE.

BODY OVERVIEW:
Major electric scooters available in the market have a simple and sleek design, whereas the overall design, graphics and looks of the Komaki SE is inclined towards more sporty and bold styles. The body is made of a very sturdy plastic fiber that is made to last. Its lighting system is a sporty looking LED DRL headlamp along with side LED lamps but the Indicator lamps are normal bulbs placed beside the handle bars. This small colorful LED digital console showcases battery, indicators, gear position and other major information. Unfortunately, the colorful lights are really dim during the daytime. One amazing feature about the Komaki SE is that it has a reverse option. The reverse switch is placed near the right handlebar along with the ignition switch and headlamp switch. The scooter’s battery has occupied the majority of the underseat storage, thus it has focused on ample leg room and frontal compartment storage. There is also a USB port to charge a mobile device and that compartment can hold other smaller items too. Komaki SE supports bluetooth connectivity and has an inbuilt speaker for the multimedia controls, also exerting the loud anti-theft alert siren.
The seats are placed at a comfortable position and the grab handles are of a very unique design. Sadly the footpegs are comparatively very small than other regular scooters. We can see the Komaki graphics and design on the side view of the scooter. For the rear lights, we can see a LED turn signal that has a unique shape and the tail lamps are normal halogen bulbs. Little faux carbon fiber design can be found on the section near the tail lamp. Protecting the motor, we can see a waterproof cover with a cool exhaust cover. This is a decent looking sporty electric scooter whose features could be liked by many.

SPECIFICATION AND PERFORMANCE:
Komaki SE is powered by a 3000W Brushless DC Motor. The improved new battery is a 72V40Ah Lithium-Ion battery making it more advanced than the rest. It can generate a max power of 5200W, capable of a top speed of 80kmph. YThe average battery range is 140km and takes about 4-5 hours for the battery to fully charge. Also its charging cycle is estimated at 2000 times. This battery has a company warranty of 2 years and 1 year warranty for the scooters motor, controller and charger. As mentioned earlier, the most impressive feature; performance wise, is the cruise control and reverse option in the Komaki SE. Its overall performance and power exertion can be compared to a 125cc fuel scooter.

DIMENSIONS:
Komaki SE has the 12 inch tubeless wheels, where both front and rear tyres measure 90/90, with diamond cut design for better grip. For the suspension system, it has telescopic forks in the front and telescopic shocker as the rear suspension setting. Komaki SE’s braking system is equipped with the dual disc braking system. The scooter's length, height and ground clearance perfectly complements an average Nepali’s height, thus being the perfect fit for the Nepali market. The scooter’s wheels, suspension and regenerative braking system really blend with one another, giving it improved overall handling, performance and a better safety stance.

CONCLUSION:
Komaki SE is a different electric-scooter in comparison to the one’s available. It definitely has a competitive advantage in terms of power and performance, but it's lagging in the department of technology and futuristic features. Komaki SE could not be the literal mobile vehicle such as Segway and NIU, but it excels in the category of a strong, sturdy and powerful electric scooter. Its wheelbase and ground clearance are better than other electric scooters making it compatible to ride on both city roads and rough trails. Being the cheapest Komaki electric scooter in Nepal, it is priced at Rs. 3,49,000. The scooter is available in red, blue, gold ra black colors. In this competitive and confusing market, Komaki SE would be the most affordable and quick alternative for its potential buyer.

The two-wheelers of today’s decade have variations of features that have been continually improving and evolving. Today in this article we will look into the Drum and Disc brakes that coherently work together in the two-wheelers.
DRUM BRAKES
Drum brakes are the original brakes that evolved after the early woodlock brakes. A drum brake consists of a drum, a housing connected to the wheel, brake shoes, which are fitted in the housing and a master cylinder that is connected to the brake pedal. The friction created when the brake shoe rubs against the rotating drums makes the vehicle slow down. This friction pad is semicircular in shape. These brakes are majorly used in mass produced cars.
Important information:
- It is more durable and lasts longer.
- Heat reduction is relatively slow.
- It has a lower cost of maintenance.
- They require low input force.
- It is heavier in weight.
- Braking is actually less efficient.
DISC BRAKES
When Jaguar cars switched from drum to disc brakes and outlasted other vehicles and cars, the popularity of Disc brakes was established. A disc brake contains a disc or a rotor, a caliper housing the brake pads and a piston. The hydraulics forces the piston in the caliper to push the brake pads on one side while the backward force of the piston pulls the brake pads on the other side of the rotor. This squeezing motion pinches the discs at a great force and slowly stops the vehicle.
Important Information:
- It requires very little effort when the braking action is executed.
- Heat reduction is relatively quick.
- In any weather, its performance is at peak.
- The overall braking is really effective and smooth.
- It can be an expensive feature to a vehicle due to regular wear and tear of the brake
pads.

ABS stands for “Anti-Lock Braking System”. This term has been the hot cake in the two-wheelers braking setting segment. From the various braking systems available in today's date, CBS(Combined Braking System) and ABS are the most talked about systems. ABS systems are found in almost all major modern vehicles nowadays. Its specialty is preventing accidents and casualties.
Now, let's get into what ABS actually does differently than the normal braking systems available. It is definite that when brakes are applied to any two-wheeler or four-wheeler, the steering is locked to prevent any unwanted and uncontrolled turns of the vehicle. This might counter as a safety hazard when in a situation of distress or emergency. These locked wheels will skid against its designated direction causing the car wheels to slip. To avoid this from happening, ABS has an advanced system. The Anti-lock Braking System as its name says prevents the wheels from locking during a braking episode. The driver of the vehicle is able to steer the wheels at the time when the brakes are being applied and also reduces the braking distance.
The 4 major components in the ABS is:
- Speed sensors: they track the speed of the wheels.
- Valves: They are responsible to allow, block or control the pressure of the brakes on the wheels.
- Pumps: They are filed with the hydraulic fluid to apply pressure on the brakes.
- Electronic Control Unit (ECU): This unit monitors the signals from the speed sensors.
Maintaining a vehicle with ABS is definitely more expensive than other vehicles, but looking from the safety point of view, it is the best at what it does. From reducing the break distance to maintaining the required break pressure, the ABS system also prevents quick wear and tear of the vehicle tyres. Among the available disc, drum and CBS braking systems, ABS showcases more safety inclined features which makes it superior.
