Honda EV O Electric Motorcycle Launched In China; Unlikely To Be Launched In India
Honda recently took the wraps off its first ever electric motorcycle and has launched the same in China. The Honda EV O was designed and developed with Guangzhou, Honda's Chinese partner, under the brand name Wuyang-Honda. The EV O is offered in two variants - one with 4.1 kWh dual-battery pack and the other with a 6.2 kWh triple-battery pack. The former has a claimed range of 120 km and the latter has a range of 170 km. Prices for the EV O start at 29,999 yuan (Rs. 3.56 lakh) and go up to 36,999 yuan (Rs. 4.4 lakh), based on current exchange rates. The 4.1 kWh variant weighs 143 kg and requires approximately 1.5 hours for a full charge with a home-charger and 1 hour with a fast-charger. It has a top speed of 110 kmph. In contrast, the 6.2 kWh version tips the scales at 156 kg and extends the charging time to around 2.5 hours. Both models get the same electric motor which has a peak power output 15.3 kW. Built around a forged aluminium chassis, the Honda EV O features a distinctive 16-inch front and 14-inch rear wheel setup. Braking duties are handled by single disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS is standard. In terms of technology, the EV O gets dual dash cam offering. The base 4.1 kWh variant includes a front-facing camera, while the 6.2 kWh model adds a rear dash cam for comprehensive video recording. Both trims come equipped with twin seven-inch TFT displays, offering access to features such as navigation, riding mode selection, music control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. There are three riding modes on offer too - Eco, Normal, Sport. The design on the Honda EV O is that of a retro café racer and the battery pack in neatly integrated into the Aluminium chassis. Other design highlights include a round LED headlight, clip-on handlebar, single-piece seat and bar-end mirrors, details that you would see on a modern classic motorcycle. The fact that Honda built this motorcycle with a Chinese partner means that it is unlikely to be launched in India. It could have been a good alternative to the Ultraviolette F77.

How Bankinter's takeover of EVO affects bank customers in Spain
In July, EVO digital bank will become part of a bigger bank in Spain, Bankinter. The takeover means that the EVO, which was founded in 2012, has now become Bankinter's digital bank instead. If you're one of EVO Banco's 330,000 active customers (767,000 total) you will have recently received a letter explaining the merger and letting you know it will now be managed by Bankinter. For now former EVO Banco customers who had purchased financial products will maintain the same contractual terms they had before the acquisition, until the technological integration takes place and the bank informs them otherwise. Usually, banks standardise the terms and conditions of different products when a merger occurs, but Bankinter has not yet announced how this process will happen. It's important to remember though, that they will inform you in advance of changes that will be made. New products no longer available The main differences is that you can no longer purchase the old Banco EVO products, even if you were a former customer. This will probably include EVO's mortgage, one of the most competitive hipotecas on the market with an interest rate as low as 2.05 percent. Website and app will continue working until July Once the integration takes place in July, EVO customers will be considered Bankinter customers under the same conditions as their existing customers. For now though, you can continue using EVO Bank channels, such as the website and app. "Customers will continue to use their existing EVO products just as before and will use EVO's usual customer service channels. When the technological integration takes place, scheduled for July, Bankinter will assume EVO's customer portfolio," Bankinter sources told website Finect. When this happens, former EVO customers will be able to access all Bankinter products and services. Smart card changes to a credit card Another change is that EVO's former tarjeta inteligente or smart card which was a debit card is also set to become a standard credit card, with the difference that it will allow you to withdraw money from Bankinter ATMs. This is causing some complaints from customers. There are, however, multiple other card options, such as the Duo Debit Card, the Duo Credit Card, as well as the Visa Solidarios card to collaborate with NGO projects. "In addition, they will be able to access virtual cards that are highly sought after by EVO customers," the bank added. IBAN numbers change With regards to the former Smart Account, the IBAN number will also change, this could be an issue for those who have direct debits set up as these will no longer work. This means you will have to contact utility companies, the tax authorities and social security to change it. Interest savings account A further change is that your balance will be transferred to the interest-bearing savings account daily instead of every two weeks like EVO customers had before. According to Bankinter customers "will have access to a multitude of interest-bearing accounts offering up to 5 percent APR the first year and up to 2 percent APR the second. Covered limit The merger has another important change with regards to the amount you hold or held at either institution. The limit on the amount covered by the Spanish Deposit Guarantee Fund in the event of a bank failure is €100,000 per institution. This now applies to the balance held by customers in their accounts at both banks. "Your deposits and checking accounts are covered by the Deposit Guarantee Fund. Don't forget that the balance of the deposits and accounts you had at EVO Banco is added to those you hold or open at Bankinter up to a combined limit of €100,000," the bank explained. Mortgages If you have a mortgage with EVO this will remain under the same conditions, but the new offering will be made through Bankinter. "For mortgages and loans, the portfolio migrates to Bankinter without changes," the bank claims. Pensions Pensions with Bankinter will now have a much broader offering including Premium Plans, Lifecycle Plans, Fixed Income Plans, Variable Income Plans, Mixed Plans and Plans for the Self-Employed, in addition to Sustainable Pension Plans. This means you have more options than before
