Which New Gearless Scooter?
- Thread Starter lxi.
- Start date
Nope. Different engine. The Nova has a 135cc engine while the DUro has a SYM branded 125cc engine. The same engine is used in the Duro, Flyte, and Rodeo.
lxi, Can you hold on the to the plan till April ?
I m asking this question, 'coz I saw the photos of the Piaggio Vespa in AutoExpo 2012, and, know what, I was instantly sold to it. According to sources, its expected to be launched in India by Mar-Apr.
Its 125 cc and your req of 5.3 seems to be suitable for it.
Piaggio is the brand which bought scooters to india, but their alliances here didnt work out well. Now they are coming under the same brand without any partnership in India.
Hope the spares will not be that costly like its italian cousin here, the fiat.
They have branded it "premium" which ~ price![[surprise]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Surprise.gif "Surprise [surprise]")
!! if its anywhere in 60K price range, I might go for it.

No budddy, Didn't like the look of the vespa (i think its scooter like, not the one that i like, the scooty type, something funky). In some website, i saw the price to be 55k. If you are going to buy it, all the best. But i am sold for the tvs wego, anyways, if you are interested in the details of this scooter, here is the link:Piaggio Vespa Lx 125 in India | Piaggio Vespa Lx 125 Price | Piaggio Vespa Lx 125 Reviews | BikeDekho.com
Have a look at this thread for latest On Road prices.

We bought a Activa for my Mom recently.
As we had a Wego in family,we ruled it out.
Yes the Wego had a silencer noise issue in 3 days, TVS replaced it FOC.
Wego and Activa prices differ within 800-900.
Activa has better pulling than Wego, In wego once it reaches 40 it cries to move further.

Sam Dinkar, No peps for me ![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
. I mean, its too girly yaar. I have driven an Activa, Wego, Pep+, Nova135 and Eterno. Didn't find difficulty in driving other than eterno(leave it, i will never buy it, it is not gearless) and activa. The wego was perfect with handling and the ride was also comfortable, the pep+ was very less in power as compared to activa, wego. The Nova had a bit dissapointing ride on bumps and breakers, the wego i think would be ok for me. What is the dio average onroad price in delhi (faridabad)? Does it has waiting? The wego's ride was not as sporty as the activas but the activa didn't have that traction as the wego had. While driving on water or wet mud, the rear tyre slips too much, i mean, it you stop in between water(manually stop the scooter, not the engine), then try to accelerate and the scooter skids to one side and does not move forward. My friend has bought his Wego for 47k on road and the honda activa is 43k on road(it was bought 2 yrs ago).

But buddy, my height is 5'4"(now increased ) now and the wego was ok for me when i drove my friends wego but i was not able to ride the activa comfortably, i mean it was more sportier than wego in the terms of engine refinement but i was feeling like i am going to fall forward now. On the wego , the ride was ok on normal roads and better than activav on rocky(ing) roads. Yes, the activa was feeling like it wanted to touch more numbers while maintaining the wego on 50kmph was bit boring as it was crying on 50kmph while in activa , i did 70 without much efforts.

Please check the Fiat spare parts price list and compare with Maruti before jumping to conclusions. Also ask owners about the frequency of replacing parts.
Even the Activa has premium pricing for what it offers. IMO gearless scooters should not be priced more than 30-35K.

They have branded it "premium" which ~ price !! if its anywhere in 60K price range, I might go for it.

hey I have purchased a brand new mahindra duro dz and I am simply loving it. The handling and comfort level is superb. It goes smoothly on the tough roads. Even my dad drives it with greats ease. Its brilliant
hey, i dont think duro dz is overpriced. i think we also have to count in the maintainance costs into the calculations. all the other bikes mentioned have very expensive spaces. duro dz being indian, spares are easily available at a reasonable price

UPDATE: I have purchased Honda Aviator Standard (Drum brake) in Monsoon Grey colour.
I TDed the Duro DZ and Wego but was not satisfied.
Finally, Happy with my Aviator. On Road Price was near 54k (including accessories, otherwise 51k).
Will post ownership review once I complete 500Kms or so.
Cheers.

Congrats on your buy. You really can't go wrong with that Honda 110c c block.
