[What Bike]: SuperLightweight Scooterette Required - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

xionite · 07-16-2010, 11:11 AM

Hi guys! I'm looking out for a bike for my mum.

I'm not really up-to-date with scooters... so need a lil help.

She's 5.3"
She weighs about 55kgs
She'll prolly use the bike for about 6-8 kms every alternate day

The bike needs to be Lightweight.
That's prolly one of the most important things i'm looking out for.

Requirements:

Lightweight
Easy to ride
Reliable
Engine - 100cc or less / 80cc or less
Mileage - NA
Price - NA

Looking for something close to the weight and power of a Bajaj Sunny.

Do they even make bikes that tiny anymore?

The Lightest Scoterret that is available in the current market is none other than TVS XL..... - Lightest of all......
Other than that there are plenty of Electric vehicles available - where you can also lay hands for one of them...They are very much light in weight and some of them weight as the cycle weighs...

Scooty Streak. A good lightweight 4 stroke scooterette. Better than the two stroke ones.

Scooty Teenz is a good option as well.

Go for any variant of the TVS scooty[ teenz,pep+,streak...] They all are women friendly and are really light!

There was a thread on the what bike a few days back, and the guy who owned an R15 got an electric scoot for his commutes. Try that one. It was a Yo EXL. The others are impractical for any use (according to me). Petrol is expensive, save the environment. Go green, go electric.

P.S.: If on a budget, try Yo Speed, anything below is just not safe for any use. I mean.. 25 kmph is not supposed to be a Top Speed.

Edit: Both weigh < 95kg
