TVS Jupiter - Is it really big in features?


Finally a competent scooter from TVS competing with Honda and Suzuki. Before starting with details about this scooter, we shall learn few technical terms.

Honda activa, Suzuki access and Jupiter are actually variomatic scooters (Well they have a  automatic transmission engines) so what is different? Unlike our regular Gear transmission we step up the gears to switch to higher gears. Where as these variomatic transmission scooters there is no such steps instead the single gear itself continuously moves to reflect our multiple gear vehicles.

Well with this knowledge about transmission, let's see what this vehicle has got?


  • Engine Capacity: 110cc engine
  • Output Power: 7.88bhp @7500rpm
  • Torque: 8nm @5500rpm

Woah... wait!!! Isn't it the same package that came with Wego??? Yes, it is the marketing strategy to bring in a scooter which is just a cosmetic remake of Wego. So what can we say, has it overtaken Wego - of course yes! This one is the better version of Wego. Is it better than Activa and Access and the answer is No. Activa and Access has the same position above Jupiter.

Mileage claimed to be 62Kmpl (Honestly? TVS???)

Expect ~50Kmpl on highways and ~45 on city roads - Thanks to a very well improved CVT transmission the vehicle seems to much more smoother compared to Wego.

"Bike of the Year 2013" - Is it really true? Hmm... not sure. From the real performance perspective pretty skeptical. TVS still has many places to improve especially interms of providing features.

5 years warranty and 1hr service guarantees is pretty impressive however from the scooter's perspective this is not something new.

Not the same line, we need something new, something innovative... Like how Apache entered sports bike market bring something new. All the best TVS!!!

Over all Rating :7/10

Hyundai EON - Perfect Small Car - Part 2


The Hyundai EON - The perfect small car which has been already visited by indian bikes review comes again for further review with specs analysis in detail.

EON is the second entry level car from Hyundai. 800cc cars in the segment already well established and with cars ranging from 624cc (Nano) to as high as 1100cc(Santro) the segment is really wide and deep. Understanding the current scenario of the segment with Santro, its quite old elder sibling hyundai has the responsibility to introduce EON.

Well without disappointment, Hyundai has done their job. The result is the excellent car in the segment.

Ok, we are not going to speak about the regular features that are already available in this segment and the analysis will more compare the cars around 800cc since EON falls into the lower end entry level cars.

  1. Exterior Design: Fluidic design is really an awesome design by the hyundai starting from verna. Really EON gives you an impression like you are looking at the mini version of the Verna with extra fluidic curves.
  2. Dashboard & Cockpit: Dashboard again derived from Verna but it provides more premium looks such that it really improves the value of the car looks. Cockpit which is the most exciting part which gives a very good welcome once u enter the car (Really impressive!!!)
  3. Entertainment System: Entertainment system is another value add even it can be discussed with the dash board wanted to mention it specifically. Added with 2 din speaker, USB port and AUX port which is best shot for the current day users. 

Well, If it is 800cc car, then it is Maruti 800 or Alto is the current day trend. With simple design and not much value adds they created a trend. This is what the market knows but no more since the EON has created a new standards as usual which forces aggressive competition for the segment.

Best thing is market is growing healthy. 

Kudos Indian Automobile Market!!!

Cheers!!!
