TVS officials had earlier this year confirmed to Overdrive that this new scooter will be targeted at the male populace. We expect the scooter to come fitted with electric start as standard and while the spy picture doesn't show a disc brake, TVS might just throw in one as an option.
The engine will be shared with the Wego and from the look of it, the scooter may have gained a few kilos as well (a la the Pleasure and Maestro). To compensate weight gain, power and torque may have been slightly hiked. ...
