The Scooty Pep has always been a stronghold for TVS in the two-wheeler segment, and with timely updates, it is sure to spin the volumes for the company.
TVS Motor has just launched the updated version of the Scooty Pep, christened the Scooty Pep+, as it aims to further widen the reach of the popular scooter. The Scooty Pep has always been one of the lightest two wheelers on sale, and at 95 kgs, the updated model rightly stands by that. Also, TVS has given the Scooty Pep+ a bunch of new and attractive colour options, to make it more appealing to young women.
Powering the Scooty Pep+ is a new 87.8cc, air-cooled Ecothrust engine that develops 5 PS of power and 5.8 Nm of torque. But the real talking point about this scooter is the fact that it has two ridings modes to choose from! Yes you read it right, riding modes on an 88cc scooter is quite a unique feature, where one can choose between Economy mode for better fuel efficiency and Power mode for improved acceleration and top speed. What’s pleasing here is that TVS has paid special attention to the mechanicals even though the Scooty Pep+ is positioned as a women-specific scooter.
The Scooty also gets 10-inch front and rear wheels along with 110 mm drum brakes on each wheel. Another thing worth taking note of is that TVS has added a bunch of nifty features to the Scooty Pep+ such as a mobile charging socket, side stand alarm, clear lens turn indicators, under-seat storage hooks, an open glove box and TVS’s patented ‘Eazy’ Stand technology, which TVS claims can reduce the effort to put the scooter on the centre stand by 30%. And with a price tag of Rs. 42,153/-(ex-showroom, Mumbai), it sure makes for a viable value for money buy.
