Introduction
The Indian two-wheeler market’s majority chunk is occupied by petrol scooters as of now. While manufacturers are loading their products with a ton of features, the primary essence of scooters has always been their usability for transportation. More features also translate to a higher asking price which steals the affordability aspect. We’ve made a list of the five most affordable petrol-powered scooters you can buy in India today.
TVS Scooty Pep Plus
The TVS Scooty Pep Plus needs to introduction as its existence dates back to 2013. Currently priced at Rs 61,384 (ex-showroom Delhi) onwards, the Scooty Pep Plus packs a 109cc single-cylinder engine. The output is rated at 7.7bhp and 8.8Nm. The performance is quite peppy and the lightweight gives the Scooty Pep Plus commendable handling as well.
Hero Pleasure Plus
Hero too has been offering the Pleasure Plus in India for a few years now. It’s received minor tweaks throughout its lifecycle and currently retails at Rs 64,748 (ex-showroom Delhi). Hero has plonked a 110.9cc single-cylinder engine in the Pleasure Plus and it develops 8bhp and 8.7Nm. The braking hardware comprises drum brakes at both ends for the base model and the suspension setup consists of telescopic front forks and a single rear shock.
Hero Maestro Edge Plus
Another Hero scooter to make it to the list is the Maestro Edge 110. It retails at Rs 66,820 (ex-showroom Delhi) and offers a 110.9cc motor with the output rated at 8.04bhp and 8.7Nm.
