Is the Scooty Pep with a larger motor and new features deserving
of the 'Plus' it now carries? We find out.
Ever
since its launch in 1993, the petite two-stroke Scooty has written
an enduring success story for TVS Motor Company. A decade later, this
light and practical city runabout underwent a heart
transplant from two- to four-stroke. The ladies' favourite has always
cruised along in a class of its own with virtually no competition.
Until now.
Most leading two-wheeler manufacturers have suddenly realised the
rich potential of the Scooty's segment and have announced new model
plans. The new Pep Plus is TVS's answer to the perceived threat. While
the familiar, light profile remains unchanged, sensible new features
help beef up and enhance the overall package. The Scooty Pep heart
now comes with some additional cubes. But are these changes good enough
to get the competition thinking again? |
