One particularly curious installation featured a Royal Enfield Flying Flea electric bike transformed into a bona fide two-wheeled sculpture by Los Angeles–based multidisciplinary artist Mattia Biagi If you’re not familiar with Flying Flea it’s Royal Enfield’s all-electric sub-brand inspired by the World War II-era Royal Enfield Flying Flea which was air-dropped alongside paratroopers It combines vintage styling—like a forged aluminum girder-style fork—with modern elements like an electric drivetrain and LED lighting Mattia cut his teeth in fashion houses like Jean Paul Gaultier before coming under the mentorship of the renowned interior and furniture designer Giulio Cappellini The design mimics the contours of a parachute (a nod to the Flying Flea’s lineage) while the material’s imperfect open-pore texture creates an organic vibe At the back of the ‘tank,’ set against the flowing fins of the Flying Flea’s magnesium battery case One more material was used in the Flying Flea’s construction—brass Mattia created a pair of brass grips using molds of his hands along with a pair of complementary brass foot pegs this is one motorcycle we’d happily park in our living room instead

Firearms Destination for the Gun Lifestyle Home » Reviews » Warhorse: The Lee Enfield No.1 MkIII 1 Mk III Short Magazine Lee Enfield or SMLE often loving referred to as the “Smelly” was a magazine-fed bolt-action rifle manufactured in various guises (some before the Mk III designation) from 1895 until 1957.  It was manufactured by multiple countries and many manufacturers including but not limited to Birmingham Small Arms in Britain and it can still be found in use in Africa and Asia by various irregular forces some countries still maintain them in storage The SMLE was designed with a 10-round detachable box magazine it was meant to be fed via five-round stripper clips and reliable loading via the top of the receiver.  While there was a bewildering variety of ammunition types manufactured in .303 British from blank the most common type encountered on the surplus market is Mk VII or Mk VIII ball of one variant or another Most of this was issued in bandoliers of 50 rounds each of which contained seven loaded clips There were more manufacturers of the ammunition than the rifles The United States produced significant quantities of .303 in both WWI and WWII Cordite is the most common propellant encountered in surplus ammo and the quality of the ammo from beginning to end is incredibly variable Varying storage conditions and propellant type combined with dubious original quality can create some “interesting” range performance in 2025 with surplus ammo This has led to many surplus rifles having a sewer pipe for a bore due to poor maintenance in some countries leading to legends regarding the “mad-minute” and often very inflated boasts of how many rounds the best riflemen could put up the spout in 60 seconds which is difficult to believe but not quite out of the realm of possibility in singular circumstances.  Considering that the British Army in particular used to pay bonuses for better musketry scores and was at one time somewhat liberal with ammunition for practice a high average volume of fire was generally achieved by the “Contemptible Little Army” that went to war in 1914 Whether or not the Germans actually believed the British all had some sort of automatic rifle or machine gun is up for debate early rifles also had a magazine cutoff to keep troops from burning through ammo too fast without permission.  The SMLE almost didn’t make it to the trenches in WWI experiences in South Africa against the Boers led to considerable reconsideration of the design.  Many tried to blame the difficulties with the Boers on technical issues (the Enfield design) vis-à-vis the Mauser rather than often poor handling of the army in the challenging African environment against a skilled opponent The Pattern 14 or P14 Enfield was a design that was under consideration to replace the SMLE Far too few were produced prior to WWI to make the transition and the SMLE’s performance during the war was enough not only to secure its place in service but to some extent legend due to its speed of operation and practical accuracy.  The sights are excellent for target work but can be limiting in the dark The “bunny ear” sight protectors give the design its distinctive look and indeed do a good job in protecting the rather thin front sight blades but this rifle manufactured in 1918 never had them.  Individual aimed fire was effective to about 600 yards .303 fire was effective at 700 to 800 yards from rifles which the Soviets experienced when they invaded Afghanistan it was mostly fire from .303 Enfields at extended ranges that encouraged the Soviets to increase the complement of SVDs in rifle companies rather early in the invasion.  The Lithgow-made rifles are of very high quality and the Australians prided themselves in making their rifles faster and generally more accurate on average than the other manufacturers having stayed mostly in Australian hands for their lives British-made rifles are also of excellent quality Some of the other manufacturers are a mixed bag All need to be carefully inspected before purchase Prices are now quite high for what used to be a very affordable rifle and even through the early 2000s prices rarely exceeded $250 or so.  are now generally $600 or more at a minimum — although Accessories are plentiful but beware of the surplus ammo It’s generally better to keep it for display and shoot modern

Honda CB350 vs Royal Enfield Hunter 350: Which Cruiser Should You Ride Home? A Detailed Performance Comparison The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has carved a significant niche for itself in the Indian motorcycle market. Designed as the entry-level model in the Royal Enfield lineup, the Hunter has recently received a substantial update to stay ahead in the highly competitive cruiser segment. But how does it hold up against its rivals, especially the Honda CB350? Let’s dive into the performance specs and features to help you decide which bike is the better pick. Royal Enfield Hunter 350: A Fresh Take on a Classic Brand Royal Enfield has long been associated with heavyweight cruisers packed with torque and classic styling. However, the Hunter 350 marked a bold departure from that tradition. With its shorter wheelbase, compact design, and sportier dynamics, it offers a nimble ride perfect for urban commuting—more in line with a street naked bike than a traditional cruiser. Despite its popularity, one longstanding criticism of the Hunter was its stiff suspension. Royal Enfield has addressed this in the updated model, softening the rear suspension for a more comfortable ride. Aesthetically, the 2025 Hunter now features new color options, a revised handlebar, and a semi-digital instrument cluster. Updated Pricing for Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Variants How the Hunter 350 Compares Within the Royal Enfield Family If you're looking for a budget-friendly cruiser with great city riding dynamics and brand appeal, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 makes a strong case. However, for a slightly higher price, the Honda CB350 offers refined engineering, better torque delivery, and premium features that make it worth considering. Meanwhile, the TVS Ronin appeals to those wanting a balance between performance, affordability, and modern design.

That will certainly be the case in Enfield early this summer as a familiar face returns to town as the chief executive officer who served as Enfield town manager for nine years from 2006 to 2015 The vote to approve Coppler was taken at a special meeting of the town council Wednesday; he was approved in a party-line 6-4 vote with six Republicans in favor and four Democrats against Republican Bob Hendrickson was not present Coppler will replace the retiring Chris Bromson as town manager after having held a similar position in Batavia He worked in Enfield for nine years until departing in Sept 2015 to take the post of city manager in Lincoln Park he shifted from Lincoln Park to the resort community of St 2023 to become city manager in Port Richey The Ohio native holds a master’s degree in public administration and a bachelor’s degree in political science from Bowling Green State University according to human resources director Steven Bielenda Mayor Ken Nelson said applications were received from six candidates from around the world "even one from Egypt." Four were selected for interviews with the town council and two finalists emerged from that quartet for a second interview Nelson told Patch the finalists were asked to make a presentation on potential future uses of the former Fermi High School facility on North Maple Street but one wanted to bulldoze it and build a $100 million sports complex," Nelson said "Matt served the town very well for nine-plus years." who with his three fellow Democrats voted against Coppler's appointment "I don't think bringing back Matt is the right decision for Enfield moving forward [The Democratic councilors] were impressed with the other finalist and has a great vision of economic development ideas." In a phone interview with Patch Thursday morning from Florida Coppler said he looks forward to returning to a town where good things happened during his prior tenure "Enfield never lost a place in my mind all these years," he said "We put together a lot of good things in nine years It's exciting to go back at a different time to see these things which have come to fruition and new projects that are being put together made me want to come back."

crush sales targets in FY25 and plans to continue that upward trend in FY26.  which has its headquarters in Chennai set a target to grow its output to 1.1 million units by the end of this financial year The OEM has also set some ambitious sales targets including increasing domestic dispatches by 6-7% and increasing exports by 20-25% The manufacturer's domestic targets aren't overly ambitious as they fall exactly in line with the company's internal estimates that the Indian two-wheeler market will grow by 6.4% in FY26 which is categorized by bikes that are 150cc and above this falls nicely in line with Royal Enfield's projections as the brand has an 85-90% market share of the mid-weight (250-750cc) category.  Royal Enfield has had such a successful FY25 thanks to the injection of plenty of new products The brand will hone its already successful range with around 10-12 product updates and refreshes as the brand faces ever-increasing competition from Triumph and Harley-Davidson But there'll be one stand-out addition to Royal-Enfield's range next year We're expecting to see the first-ever Royal Enfield electric motorcycle in 2026 after the company filed 45 related patents in 2025 and began working in its EV lab We'll likely get our first in-person glimpse at the electric motorcycle at EICMA towards the end of this year before Royal Enfield launches it globally We're almost always praising Royal Enfield for the quality of the products it puts out for the price so if its new electric motorcycle falls into this category it would surely help the company meet its high export

in India Interested buyers have a wait for some unexpected period of time in order to purchase the motorcycle The booking for the motorcycle has also been ceased in India The decision of the company to put on hold the Scram 440 sales in India is due to an issue with engine starting The issue was observed on some units of the model in India where the engine failed to start after running for some time the engine does not stall during the middle of a ride (which might have been a blunder) According to sources close to Autocar the issue is due to component called the Woodruff key within the

Scram 440 draws its power from an upgraded engine i.e The single cylinder engine generates 25.4hp of maximum power at 6,250rpm and 34Nm of peak torque at 4,000rpm The output figures are an update from the 24.3hp at 6,500rpm and 32Nm at 4,250rpm (as on Scram 411) The engine is now paired with a 6-speed gearbox as compared to the 5-speed gearbox on Scram 411 Weight of the motorcycle has increased by

the past financial year this year is also off to a flying start,” noted B Govindarajan Moving forward, Royal Enfield has a lot to be optimistic about. For starters, it updated its bestselling bike, the Hunter 350 and a bit more features like assist-and-slipper clutch This should make the Hunter 350 more easy to ride – something that was robbing the bike of enjoying it fully Royal Enfield also launched the Classic 650 this year which should further help the marque rake in buyers given the loyal customer base it enjoys with this badge.  Last month also saw Royal Enfield launch its ever-popular bike, the Classic 350, in Nepal “As we move further into the new financial year we are excited about what’s coming next while staying true to our core philosophy of pure motorcycling,” concluded B Govindarajan Stellantis India Rejigs Senior Management Roles Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup Is Back For 2025 Ultraviolette F77 Partners With With The Indian Army For Veterans Outreach Bike Rally MG Windsor EV Pro India Launch Tomorrow: What To Expect Ashish Gupta to Lead Škoda India; Nitin Kohli Appointed Volkswagen Brand Director We promise the best car deals and earliest delivery 2025 at 8:46 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}A pair of heavily-traveled intersections in Enfield including this one at the corner of Washington and Branaird roads recently had surveillance cameras installed which some town officials say was done without their okay CT — Surveillance cameras were recently installed at a pair of busy intersections in Enfield but some town officials are saying it was done without their knowledge the cameras have been installed at Washington and Brainard roads Mayor Ken Nelson said the "absolutely ugly hideous cameras" were not approved by the council or the town manager they were not in front of planning and zoning they were not in front of a building department and this council never approved putting up cameras like that in the middle of a field that are so blatant obvious," Nelson said "I think the whole council is okay with having them in strategic areas but to stick a huge white pole up with four cameras staring in your face with this giant guardrail around it is not anything that I know myself and several other council members agreed to."

laundromat in downtown Enfield are back on tap after the business owners purchased the building which the previous owner put up for sale due to his frustrations with the town’s planning and zoning process bought the former laundromat building located at 59 Main St. from previous owner Brian Degnan in late January The couple also co-owns Hoptimystic Brewing The building was originally listed for $500,000 but sold for $350,000 according to a real estate listing posted on the website for Enfield-based Vanessa Stone Realty “We’re making progress,” Thomas said in a Thursday phone interview which include reconfiguring the building’s drainage to support brewing equipment The goal is to start brewing beer this spring and open the tasting room in the summer “Our focus is on getting the brewing side up and running so we have beer to sell,” Thomas said in a facility that is closed to the public Thomas plans to move brewing operations to Enfield where he will also be able to bottle the beer to sell it Hoptimystic will return to Sunapee with a pop-up tasting room in the Prospect Hill Antiques and Art Gallery building in Sunapee Harbor The business also continues work to establish a location in Bow When the Enfield tasting room opens customers will have 12 taps to choose from we’re not just whatever the flavor of the month is,” Thomas said porters and stouts are among the varieties The brewery’s strawberry jalapeno blonde ale “What we appreciate is keeping a diverse portfolio of options.” Plans for the Enfield brewery began last summer after town officials connected Thomas with Degnan who was looking for a new tenant to run a business in that spot He operated it as a laundromat for about a year until a dryer fire caused extensive damage the Enfield Planning Board approved the proposal for the brewery Degnan decided to sell the building after a contentious Zoning Board of Adjust meeting last October about a pair of variances the board refused to grant at the time he attributed his decision to sell the building to “the bureaucracy that exists and the amount of effort it takes to invest money in Enfield.” The project has continued to face scrutiny from Enfield officials Thomas appeared before the Enfield Zoning Board of Adjustment Tuesday night to ask for three variances two of which were approved and one which was delayed Thomas’ asked the ZBA for permission to have three signs of up to 32 square feet each on the building which would exceed the 40 square feet for one sign attached to buildings located in the community business district The sign on the front of the building would be allowed under the town’s zoning ordinance Thomas also wants to put a sign on the side of the building facing the Northern Rail Trail as well as another on the side of the building facing the brewery’s parking lot “We want people to know where we are,” Thomas said during the meeting The majority of the Zoning Board members were open to the idea but alternate board member Cecilia Aufiero pushed back noted that while a sign might seem big up close it would not necessarily have the same effect once it’s on the building “People have to be able to see it from far away,” Johnson said the ZBA agreed to the request with one adjustment: That the sign on the western side of the building be no larger than 24 square feet Thomas’ second variance request was for a setback relief to allow him to place an outdoor beer cooler on the eastern side of the building within four feet of the property line Some board members expressed concern about how loud the cooler would be with board members worried it would drown out the sound of the nearby Mascoma River or that customers eating outside at Kitchen 56 across the street would be able to hear it Members suggested putting a decibel limit on the cooler “I think that protects neighbors down the road,” member Dan Regan said about the decibel limit The ZBA unanimously approved the variance with a few caveats: The cooler cannot be larger than 320 square feet and cannot exceed 68 decibels measured at 10 feet from the cooler’s compressor The variance approval also comes with the condition that the New Hampshire Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Rail and Transit — which has purview over the Northern Rail Trail and was inadvertently left off the abutter notification list in advance of the ZBA meeting — “not object” to the variance The cooler approval will also involve a boundary line adjustment The new brewery was a railroad depot in the early 1900s and the lot includes a long skinny rectangle along the rail trail would involve Thomas trading part of that rectangle to the town in exchange for the land where the cooler will sit The ZBA shelved Thomas’ request to add a modified shipping container to the brewery to create a “trailside cafe” where he plans to serve ice cream and hot dogs Board members asked him to come back in the future when he has a design that would better blend the container with the brewery building the brewery now has all the approvals it needs to operate in Enfield Liz Sauchelli can be reached at esauchelli@vnews.com or 603-727-3221 you agree with our use of cookies to
