I used to be planning to purchase a scooter for a lot of motive, important motive being that a scooter could be pushed by anyone in my household. The second motive could be ample quantity of house in entrance which might permit me to maintain stuffs fairly than carrying them alongside and so I most well-liked a scooter over a motorcycle. And pace wasn’t an element so a 125cc engine was sufficient to fulfill my requirement.
I had many choices like Honda Dio, Honda Activa which is among the most promoting scooters and until date not a lot have stated something towards energetic, however one factor that mattered to me was the appears to be like was very common. Though nowadays activa are a lot cumbersome however they nonetheless lack when it comes to look and the typical additionally is not that nice to speak about. Being a center class man I at all times wished to purchase a scooter with good common.
I nearly waited for four-5 months to resolve on which scooter to purchase, and luckily I got here throughout Honda Lead. Initially I hesitated because it was from TVS and types like Honda are reliable however to my shock the scooter until now has carried out exceptionally. I Bought this on twenty fifth of final month and drove 5 km from the supplier showroom and it was a really very easy trip.
Since then I’ve been utilizing this scooter repeatedly. Nearly clocked 500 kms until date and nonetheless going nice and the identical smoothness is maintained. One of the best half is that the machine could be very easy and never just like the earlier tvs fashions. The machine is as easy because the machine in Activa, and the steadiness too is properly maintained with petrol inlet on the again so one doesn’t have to get off the scooter to fill petrol.
Few highlights:
Extra panel just like the econometer and the go gentle is added.
Petrol inlet on the again, therefore avoiding consumer to get off the scooter at any time when petrol is being crammed.
12-inch Telescopic alloy forks are higher than the ten-inch ones utilized in different scooters.
Cell charging level and higher seating posture.
My expertise until now has been great with this scooter. The experience could be very a lot clean with not a lot noise from the engine. After clocking 500 kms on this scooter I can proudly say that I’ve bought a deal which was price it. One of the best half is that the scooter has unisex enchantment and anybody from my home can experience it. It is extra of a house automobile than a private automobile.
Gasoline Consumption:
I’ve checked the typical twice, as soon as on my own and as soon as on the service heart. Each the time it gave me a median of fifty kmpl. And I really feel it is an ideal common that a center class particular person would want. One factor that went horribly mistaken was after I visited service middle for checking the typical as they eliminated one hundred ml petrol from my scooter and verify the typical from my a hundred ml petrol itself and charged me one hundred fifty rupees. 50+ common is sort of good in the case of scooters.
Consolation:
The consolation degree is best than typical scooters, and I personally really feel that the ergonomics have been improved on this scooter. The seating poster and the steadiness is completely maintained. The consolation ought to be high class for higher using expertise and so is it.
Reliability:
The physique appears powerful, and never solely robust however very fashionable too. Modern design with good constructed makes it altogether a greater scooter.
Dealing with and management:
As talked about earlier the management and dealing with is ideal and improved over different scooters. After using nearly 350+ kilometers I’ve personally felt the improved dealing with and management which makes it extra higher. I had taken a check drive of wego too earlier than shopping for Honda Lead and there was a noticeable distinction between each of them.
Appears to be like:
Honda Lead has superior seems which might impress anybody. Considerably much like Dio, Honda Lead appears extra higher because it’s cumbersome in addition to fashionable.
I severely just like the petrol inlet idea which helps me fill petrol whereas I’m seated.
I bought this scooter for one thing round sixty seven, 000/- and with all of the formalities it got here for one thing round 70, 000/-
I might say a great competitors for scooters like activa, dio and wego as nicely.
One factor that I bought pissed off with, was the service heart guys had been very impolite and I wasn’t glad with the way in which my scooter was serviced. After my free providers I might transfer to my native mechanic.
Closing verdict:
Clocked round 500+ kms, and until now every thing has been clean and effectively in place. After my free providers I’m anticipating the scooter to carry out extra higher.
