The Bajaj Qute has garnered its fair share of publicity since it was launched in SA a few weeks back. Is it fit for SA roads or is it even fast enough to beat a bicycle? We put that to the test.
Over the years, we've staged many, many drag races. Too many to count. But this could be the best one yet, and it doesn't involve a single car.
The Bajaj Qute arrived in South Africa and caused a social media storm quite unlike anything we've ever seen. It may look like a car, but technically it is a "quadricycle" – or 4-wheeled motorbike. It is powered by a 216 cc motorbike engine mounted under the rear seats, and all 8.08 kW of power are sent to the rear wheels.
In this video, the Bajaj is taking on something with two wheels…and two legs. Cars.co.za's resident racing driver Ashley Oldfield is not only a superb racing driver, but he's also an incredible rider of bicycles. With 1.2 kW of max power output, sent to the rear wheel, could Ashley take on this form of motorised transport and win?
You'll have to watch to find out.
