The Scooty Pep is a complete scooter but with limitations that segregate the scoot towards a particular segment of buyer. Her lithe proportions are sure to lure the college going teen and the fair sex. Her narrow footboard, forward tilted stance and seat positioning make an extremely tight riding position for the average Indian male (5ft8" and above 65kg) but for those with slender proportions she is a dandy fit.

The ease of riding, adequate power, smooth and refined variator, low maintenance make the Scooty Pep a desirable proposition. The styling which is a surefire winner with the frail sex, is however a little too dainty for the beard-toting species.

The glitch, and a big one at that too, comes with the price, which TVS has set at Rs 33,755 on-road Pune, for the executive version. The deluxe version sporting colour coded rear-view mirrors, aluminium footrests and grab rail has been priced at Rs 34,863 on-road Pune. The price factor may prove stumbling block in TVS’ design to sell volumes , as for an entry-level scooter the price seems too steep.
In all other respects the Scooty Pep seems as complete a package as it gets with nary a thing that needs change or improvement. A perfect dollop of Pep, forsooth!
