OverDrive testers have always loved scooters for their twist and go simplicity and the Activa is no exception. The makeover has spruced up the scooter and the rounded silhouette and the details from the head lamp to the tail make it really look nice says OverDrive (June ’09).

The internal contour too makes stuffing easier but the external hook below the seat is too low to carry large soft drink bottles though. Also the Activa suffers from a cold start syndrome even in the summers.

The new scooter is fuel efficient though, returning about 42kmpl in the city.
