Bajaj Auto has commenced deliveries of the world’s first CNG motorcycle, the Freedom 125. The first bike was delivered to Mr Pravin Thorat in Pune.

The Freedom 125 CNG was launched on July 5. Initially, the bike was available in Maharashtra and Gujarat. However, bookings are now open at all Bajaj dealerships across India. The bike is available in three variants, with prices starting at Rs 95,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Freedom 125 is equipped with a 2 kg CNG cylinder and a 2-litre petrol tank. Bajaj claims the bike can cover 102 km on a single kg of CNG and has a maximum range of 330 km.

The bike is powered by a 125cc, single-cylinder engine that produces 9.4 BHP and 9.7 Nm. CNG is said to reduce daily running costs by 50% and amounts to fuel savings of up to Rs 75,000 over 5 years, compared to a petrol-powered 125cc bike.
