I was planning to buy a scooter for many reason, main reason being that a scooter can be driven by any one in
my family. This second reason would be ample amount of space in front which would allow me to keep stuffs
rather than carrying them along and so I perferred a scooter over a bike. And speed wasn’t a factor so a 110cc
engine was enough to satisfy my requirement. I had many options like Honda Dio, Honda Activa which is one of the most selling scooters and till date not
much have said anything against active, but one thing that mattered to me was the looks was very average.
Although these days activa are much bulky but they still lack in terms of look and the average also isn’t that great
to talk about. Being a middle class man I always wanted to buy a scooter with good average. I almost waited for 3-4 months to decide on which scooter to buy, and fortunately I came across Jupiter.
Initially I hesitated as it was from TVS and brands like Honda are trustworthy but to my surprise the scooter till
now has performed exceptionally. I Purchased this on 26th of last month and drove 5 km from the dealer
showroom and it was a very very smooth ride. Since then I have been using this scooter continuously. Almost clocked 350 kms till date and still going great
and the same smoothness is maintained. The best part is that the machine is very smooth and not like the
previous tvs models. The machine is as smooth as the machine in Activa, and the balance too is well maintained
with petrol inlet at the back so one does not need to get off the scooter to fill petrol.
Few highlights:
Additional panel like the econometer and the pass light is added.
Petrol inlet at the back, hence avoiding user to get off the scooter whenever petrol is being filled.
12 -inch Telescopic alloy forks are better than the 10-inch ones used in other scooters.
Mobile charging point and better seating posture.
My experience till now has been wonderful with this scooter. The ride is very much smooth with not much noise
from the engine. After clocking 350 kms on this scooter I can proudly say that I have got a deal which was worth
it. The best part is that the scooter has unisex appeal and any one from my house can ride it. It’s more of a home
vehicle than a personal vehicle.
Fuel Consumption:
I have checked the average twice, once by myself and once at the service center. Both the time it gave me an
average of 50 kmpl. And I feel it’s a perfect that a middle class person would need. One thing that went horribly
wrong was when I visited service center for checking the average as they removed 100 ml petrol from my
scooter and check the average from my 100 ml petrol itself and charged me 150 rupees. 50+ average is quite
good when it comes to scooters in the mileage.
Comfort:
The comfort level is better than conventional scooters, and I personally feel that the ergonomics have been
improved in this scooter. The seating poster and the balance is perfectly maintained. The comfort should be top
class for better riding experience and so is it reliability.
Reliability:
The body seems tough, and not only tough but very stylish too. Sleek design with good built makes it altogether a
better scooter.
Handing and Control:
As mentioned earlier the control and road grip handling is perfect and improved over other scooters. After riding
almost 350+ kilometers I have personally felt the improved handling and control which makes it more better. I
had taken a test drive of wego too befroe buying jupiter and there was a noticeable difference between both of
them.
Looks:
Jupiter has superior looks which can impress any one. Somewhat similar to Dio, Jupiter seems more better as it’s
as well as stylish.
I seriously like the petrol inlet concept which helps me fill petrol while I am seated.
I purchased this scooter for something aroud 49, 000/- and with all the formalities it came for something around 51, 950/-
I would say a good competition for scooters like activa, do and wego as well.
One thing that I got pissed off with, was the service center guys were very rude and I wasn’t satisfied with the
way my scooter was serviced. After my free services I would appeal move to my local mechanic.
Final verdict:
Clocked aroud 350+ kms, and till now everything has been smooth and well in place. After my free services I am
expecting the scooter to perform more better.
