Once the prime name of scootering in India. Still, the brand Scooty is the first choice of lady freaks. With a scooter cum moped style, the Scooty models are always unique and very special. Now, here we have the most stunning Scooty variant presently available, the Scooty Pep +. Let's checkout how the machine is.
Looks
The Pep Plus is so cute and the that's the reason a major number of customers choose it as their baby. Its very minimally designed headlight, well shaped tail light, the entire cute body, and the rear view mirrors are certainly the tempting ones for the college girls. The Pep + comes with a dual tone color shade, which is extremely striking even in the rush.
Engine, and Performance
This scooter is the least powered machine in the industry. It comes with a smaller 87.8cc, Stroke, single4 cylinder forced air cooled engine, which delivers a peak power of 3.68 Kv @ 6500 rpm and a peak torque of 5.8 Nm @ 4000 rpm. These power figures are absolutely very minimal when we compare the other machines in the scooter industry. But, you should understand, the Scooty stands in a different class. In fact, it's a cult brand of TVS. TVS has scooters in other class, which are as powerful as its challengers. That means, the firm wants to keep the Scooty as it is through generations, which makes it a cult brand.
Features
The Scooty Pep Plus is not mated with a lot of features. Still, we can see some numerable stuffs within the machine. The scooter has an Eazy centre stand, and a clear turm signal lamp, although these are only common in all scooters. Its blacked 3 spoke alloy wheels are the next major attraction in it.
Ergonomics and Riding Comfy
The scooter is just average enough. Don't expect mush more on the riding comfort. Since the machine is so small, you have only smaller tyres of 3x10. And the firm hasn't revealed on its suspension. It might be some poor suspensions coupled with the scooter, which can give only a below average comfort. On the other hand, the switches and everything are easily reachable. You need not to search out anymore once you're on the machine.
Mileage
And this is India's most mileage giving scooter. TVS ensures 65 kmpl under standard condition, which is certainly a miraculous number as far as a scooter is concerned. But considering the power of the Scooty Pep Plus, 65 is never a wonder.
Pricing
The Pep + is priced at Rs. 41,895 (ex-showroom Delhi), which is slightly over priced and will definitely kill its sales. Because, some best selling products such as Hero Pleasure, and Honda Dio are priced just above it. So, it will a hard game for TVS.
Verdict
TVS Scooty Pep + is never a must choose scooter. It's something for those who love minimalism and cuteness. Of course, the Scooty is a cult brand and it can also be the reason for selecting it. Along with these qualities, the Pep + has a unique moped figure. Well, the major thing you need to point out is the excellent fuel efficiency of the scooter. On the other side, the Pep Plus doesn't have power, and great riding comfort. Moreover, you can buy a better scooter if you can spend a couple more thousands.
