Sales of scooters will have outpaced those of motorcycles in the 110-125cc segment by the end of this financial year.
Scooters are no longer considered the second vehicle in the family. By the end of February, 2,434,025 scooters in the segment were sold in the country against 1,765,868 motorcycles, show data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers.
That was a growth of 25 per cent year-on-year for scooters in April (2013)-February (2014) even as sales of motorcycles fell three per cent in the period.
Lower mileage was a reason why people used to prefer motorcycles over scooters. Scooter makers have through technological advancements closed that gap.
From 35-40 km a litre, scooters now run as much as 60 km on a litre of petrol.
