We bought a Wego on 18-Jun-2013. Done ~370 km and so far happy with it.
Ok, I am not writing technical stuff as you can get it from anywhere, I am writing just what I felt riding this bike.
Power: 8/10
Adequate power, Never fails when you need it, My HH Pro does not co-operate sometimes when
overtaking, but it never happened with Wego.
Three weeks now - Seems it has kept a flag near 50 mark, it gives a small jerk when I cross 50, (I use to ride 50-55km most times as I ride mostly in non-traffic hours) Hope it got refined and set!?!?
Once nearly touched 70 down a bridge, never tried beyond it, vehicle is highly stable at this speed. I saw some Youtube videos reaching 100 in Wego. Please dont do this. Every vehicle is good when driven in its own capacity.
Handling: 9/10
I am not sure what this body balance technology is - that they are advertising, but can feel the difference in riding, I have driven Kinetic Marvel long back and Activa, a very few times and currently a HH Pro. This one has some ’distinct something’. Almost never kept the foot on ground really until than necessary.
Ride with Pillion is good too - same feedback from pillion rider.
However when my wife sits at the back with some heavy bags in between us, it becomes a little imbalanced at sharp turns (this doesn’t happen with my HH Pro), but it is not much to be listed under ’cons’, just my observation. Keeping luggage in front space there is no probs though.
Brake: 8/10
Adequate enough, once a car had a sudden stop in front of me and our Wego managed it ’All Well’.Braking in rains seemed good too, though haven’t tested in slippery roads. Some other brands advertise double breaking systems, I don’t think Wego implements this feature, Did not try other vehicle to check if it is more good. As of now this seems just adequate. I was told there is a disc variant. In my opinion, this is not required for a vehicle capacity of this range.
Tyres 9/10
I felt compared to others this has Large tyres, has good grip (no further comments here as vehicle is so new and is obviously expected)
Suspension 10/10
Front Telescopic suspension is really good in action. Rear suspension is good too, No back pain complaints so far, both rider and pillion.
Fuel Consumption/ Mileage:?/?
Right out of showroom, filled the tank nearly after 0.5 km. Full tank Rs 310. I went to a petrol bunk now again at 294 km (it was 12 km when I took delivery). Please make your calculations.
Anyway, first time fuel efficiency is not a benchmark - will change over a period of time, at least after 1st Service.
"Some distinctive Pros"
Fuel tank design - it flips with a turn, nice design, loving it,
Indicator switch has a slanting accent to it with a finger grip. Though plastics department, it is happy to see that they have paid attention to every detail. Much Appreciated!!!. Lights are adequately powerful, and the dim dip functions very well. (Since my previous experience is with older vehicles I may be exaggerating this point, but felt is really powerful enough to lit up the street in dark and I loved it)
Accessories like floor mat, mirrors, utility box comes up as a standard accessory unlike its competitors.
On papers having the lowest storage space (~15litres), I was a bit apprehensive at beginning, however it has enough room for a normal full face helmet. (My Vega helmet wont get in though)
"Cons"oh not really, just my thoughts...
The front Utility box comes as a standard accessory with no option for removing. For short riders like me and my wife it is not a problem but for a above-medium to tall riders it will hit their knees down for sure.
No side stand indicator beeper, don’t know why this was not included.
The Green and Orange lights for Economy and Power mode in other models like Scooty could have been retained in the Dashboard.
Few words about Dealership:
Access Motors, opposite to Koshys Hospital, Akshaya Nagar - does not look like a showroom at first sight, being so small - But they are very professional.
As promised I got same day delivery, the staff are courteous and kudos to the small team!
We had called ALL TVS showrooms in Bangalore and on road price was in range of Rs 60, 800 (Bridgestone TVS) to as high as Rs 63, 200 (Arunagiri TVS). First I was of opinion that I will go for an authorized dealer rather than a sub dealer. However later went to Access Motors (Sub Dealer)
Megdooth TVS a very popular name in Bangalore for TVS is not in the authorized main dealer list in TVS website!!!
In our area (Ramamurthy Nagar) there are two sub dealers (not official - not sure) Karthik Motors and Access motors, The former quoted at 62, 500 and the latter 61, 500. When we visited their showrooms we could see all vehicles with name Arunagiri TVS written in the number plate.
If these guys are able to give at 61-62K range I am not sure why Arunagiri TVS quotes at 63+K, May be they want to promote only sub dealers and not direct customers???
Anyways, guys at Access Motors were very professional and I would rate them 10/10
They gave me the split of on road price and when I requested I don’t want certain accessories like a helmet lock, the agreed to that. They were quoting the same price in same split up to everyone including the accessories price tags and I respected their professionalism. Got our Wego for 60K.
After 1st Service I will be back on to my HH Pro and give this to my Wife!
Ride Safe, Follow traffic rules and be a responsible driver;
Cheers!
