Interesting... Hero now has (applied for?) a patent for some elements of an Erik / Tony fuel in the frame concept...

http://patents.com/us-8919483.html

What catches my eye is that it specifies for a bike with a fuel capacity of 2-6 liters, which ain't going to take a big bike far, then it goes on to mention 50-190cc and 250cc engines. Clearly appears to be for a fuel in frame small displacement bike.

I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen any recent patent applications by EBR. Last time I checked (a couple of months ago), there weren't any newer than the 3 or 4 they filed for Hero scooter-related patents a couple of years ago. This patent is probably one of them.

A "stealth" post by our favorite Badwebber suggested maybe I'm not looking for patents under the right name(s).

I've searched under EBR, Hero Motocorp, and under every name listed on the associated patents, and I come up with ~6 patents from about the same time as the one above, all issued to Hero Motocorp. Anybody else got any ideas what to look under?

Does EBR have a separate name for their engineering services?

I suspect they must, but I haven't had any luck in discovering it.

This is interesting. Has a few pics of Hero stuff at the EBR factory. Might gain some insight here.

I've seen that document before, but thanks for re-posting it. That document uses the title "EBR Engineering Services", and just about all the news releases that come from EBR mention EBR Engineering Services that does consulting work inside and outside the motorcycle industry.

I have also checked patents under that name and come up with nothing there.
