India's first Mobile Charger Bike
The 110cc Star City commuter motorcycle has got a minor facelift from TVS. To start with, the power-horse design on the fuel tank has been replaced by new graphic pattern. A new color option has been added as well but the biggest (and more than welcome) change comes in the form of a 12V mobile charger socket, placed just behind the front left indicator. This makes the Star City the first motorcycle in India to have this feature and it goes without saying that this will be a boon for those who are always on the run, doing field-work and often need to charge their handsets. Brilliant! Can we have this on the higher capacity RTRs as well please?

Nice add-on really. Looks like a cigarette charger socket
 . It will be helpful for extended GPS users like me. Will try to get this little tweak on my machine provided it does not tries to void bike's guarantee

One of the HH showroom here in hyderabad is to provide mobile charger to its 100-125cc bikes.
We just need to connect it to battery and voila!!! its done. I have one with me.Very helpfull for the people who use GPS phones on tours.

The question is, will it really change people's decisions and lead them into buying this bike, instead of other commuter bikes?
In business world, Change is good as long as it pays back dividends. Basically, its just a socket which gives power taken from the 12V battery, isn't it? I wonder if this feature can attract customers by itself?
