In the beginning of the year . I want to purchase a 4-strock scooter to replace my wife?s 5 year old LML trendy But I was very much confused between Kinetic- nova-135 & Honda Activa . After lot of enquiry , studying reviews on Mouthshut.com web site , Test ride on both scooters & talking with both scooter users , I purchased KINETIC-NOVA -135 on 14Th jan2005. My wife likes its twin colour , design & stylish look. but I select it due to its Power & fuel economy.
After continuous use of 45 days ( 1100 KM) I observed following plus points .
1.- It is a very powerful scooter & I did not face any problem on hilly areas with pillion rider.
I am getting 48-50 KMPL fuel economy , which highest in gearless scooters.
Suspension system is very effective.
Improved main stand & kick design required less effort to use ( which is a requirement for ladies)
Stylish look, colours , design & huge luggage space with lights, mobile charging facility, MMx etc make it Scooter of new generation ,
Minor points which need improvements are
Seat design can be improved for perfect contact.
In addition to fuel level indicator , Manual fuel reserve switch will be more useful looking to Indian habits.
According to my experience I can say Kinetic nova-135 is the best available 4-strock scooter in its class.
