Ready to scoot. Review on TVS Scooty - ES

One of the necessities of a person in the urban age is a means for commuting. As we head towards globalization, we also move on expanding and growing our cities. Well, as educated, sensible and responsible individuals, we do not regard the ownership of a bike or a car as a status symbol any more (I guess). It is more like a necessity and something that should serve the purpose. For a few others it is a little more than a necessity. It becomes a luxury then.

Any which way, a few aspects that anyone would look for will be a diligent engine from a renowned company with a decent performance to its credit, that is considerably economical and a model stylized to an extent acceptable.

If you are considering a bike purchase and just in case you are lost in thought with so many many wheels hitting the streets, this will make you clear on one of the pair of wheels you’ve caught on the streets.

From the owner…

This is a light, comfy, easy to maneuver, gearless two-wheeler that is ideal for college going girls or even working class ladies. It is surely not a guy thing. It sort of, does not fit into a “guy’s first love” picture as portrayed in the commercial. Mileage and pull wise it is fit for a within city limit usage. You can conveniently squeeze in through rush hour traffic or even enjoy the wind in your hair on a bridge (Sankey road in blore!) or a scenic flyover. It is easy to park, wash and maintain as well. It will serve you well as long as you treat with tender love and care.

Must carry:

The tool kit and first aid kit that come with the bike, a helmet. (And of course all the documents of the bike!)

Price: Considering the on road price, accessories, RTO charges, registration fee, NSE and stuff you will be able to ride home a scooty at anything between 28K and 30K.
