Cool Features In Latest Scooters

There are several scooter manufacturers in India, and all of them are offering a range of advanced and unique features to attract their buyers. The competition level is fierce, and every company is trying hard to win the race. Nowadays, scooters are equipped with several useful features, which make them a must-have.

      Let’s have a look at the list of essential and useful features that you should expect in your latest scooter-

      1)    Combined or Integrated Braking System

When you are riding a scooter, you need a balanced braking effort on both the wheels to stop it without skidding. Combined braking system or integrated braking system perfectly balances both front and rear brakes by use of a single lever. Generally, this system has a rear brake lever, and the front brake automatically works with it. Only Honda and Hero MotoCorp are providing this feature in their scooters.

2)    External Fuel Filling

It is a fundamental feature, but you should not ignore it while buying your motorcycle.  It saves your time when you are running late for an important event. External fuel filling is available in TVS Jupiter, TVS Wego, TVS Scooty Zest, TVS Streak, Hero Maestro Edge, Hero Duet, and Mahindra Gusto.

3)    Bigger Wheels with Tubeless Tyres

Latest scooters have ditched the 10” wheels over the bigger and more durable 12” wheels with tubeless tyres. Why bigger wheels? Because they increase the stability of the scooter and enhance its manoeuvrability as well. TVS Jupiter, TVS Wego, and Mahindra Gusto has 12” front, and rear wheel, whereas the Honda Activa 125 and Hero Maestro Edge has it only at the front.

4)    Mobile Charger

A mobile charging dock or USB port is one of the most common features offered in the scooters. This feature is useful for the customers who forgot to charge their phone at home or are always on the run. Mostly, mobile charging dock is present under the seat storage and can be used while the ignition is on. This feature is available in top scooters like TVS Jupiter, TVS Wego, Hero Pleasure, Hero Duet, Hero Maestro Edge, and Suzuki Let’s.

5)    Telescopic Front Suspension

Telescopic front suspension​ maximizes the stability of a scooter in comparison to the conventional bottom-link type suspension system. It also reduces the impacts of shocks and vibrations, thereby making your rides smoother and comfortable. Nearly all the models available in India are coming with the telescopic type front suspension set-up, except Vespa scooters and 110cc models of Honda scooters

6)    Anti-Theft Systems

If you want a worry-free leisure time rather than worrying about your motorcycle parked in the parking lot, then you should buy a bike with Anti-Theft Systems. These systems could be found in the form of an engine immobilizer or a theft alarm. In India, only Hero Maestro Edge and Mahindra Gusto are equipped with them.

7)    Adjustable Seat Height

An adjustable seat height option is a gift to all the short height riders. The adjuster mechanism lets the rider increase or decrease the seat height according to his/ her comfort. Mahindra Gusto has this feature available.

8)    Boot Light

We have a habit of stuffing our boot with a lot of stuff, which makes it impossible for us to find something in the dark. Won’t that be great if your scooter is equipped with an integrated boot light? It will make the task easier and reduce the hassle of holding your phone in one hand with the flashlight on. Scooters with the boot light feature are Hero Maestro Edge, Hero Duet, and Hero Pleasure.
