The TVS Jupiter review
The humble scooter, the humara bajaj of 90's India has now become the Beblicious scooty. This change depicts the socio-economic change of the Indian middle class. I personally prefer the large wheel motorcycle. It not only has a better grip at high speed, thereby better cornering, but it also has long-distance ride comfort.
Now after 3 months of online research, I finally decided that TVs Jupiter and Honda Aviator are the best scooty below 1 lakh rupees. Though both have 12-inch wheels, and both have telescopic front suspension, the Honda isn't an Indian company and so TVs it was our choice.
Japanese manufacturers often admit that only Indian companies like TVs offer them any competition anywhere in the world. But no matter how good the TVs Jupiter is, the on-road price of 70,000 rupees is absolutely not reasonable for a scooty. But considering the comfort of gearless ride in city traffic, and ease of use for older men, I suggested this to my father.
The petrol consumption as expected is poor. The mileage is similar to Yamaha fzs, that I rode earlier. If you ride this continuously in heavy traffic for 2-3 hrs or 50 km, the wheels get excessively hot. The acceleration is pretty fast. It can easily overtake a 350 cc bullet. The two bag carrying hooks, one can take a 5kg bag another can take a 10 kg bag is unique. You won't find this in other scooty. This shows that this bike was made keeping in mind the demands of a family man, while the other brands target the youngsters. The Tvs management was wise to choose Amitabh Bachhan as their brand ambassador for the Jupiter, not Ranbir (B A of hero)
