Scooter market is automotive market in India with 57 lakh units sold this quarter. This segment mainly concentrates
on ladies and urban market where people like stress-free riding. Scooters in India are not powerhouses as is in
European Markets, where engine capacity exceeds 1000cc. Few of the early scooters like Kinetic Honda which
slowly eroded Bajaj’s market share had self start as killer feature. These days even 100cc bikes have self starters
and its no more marketable features. Manufacturers these days are looking to sell their products with features like
front fueling, cellphone charger, underseat storage, etc.
Lets compare scooters from all major manufacturers from once king of scooter market Bajaj to Japanese Suzukis and
Hondas.
