General Comments:

The TVS Wego has a smart and sharp design. Carved out body panels, use of slashes and beefed up panels on the side look great. Modern looking headlight, the teardrop design of the parking lights and turn indicator assembly and the sleek front fender add flare to the front. The protruding tail light and grab handle at the rear of the TVS Wego add distinctiveness to the package. The only sore point of the TVS Wego is that it does not look as big or substantial as its competitors.

Instrument cluster is simple. The speedo-meter and the fuel gauge have chrome ring inserts around them. With modern fonts, the meters do their job well and do not look boring and uninspiring like some other scooters. The solitary turn indicators are always welcome and there is a high beam indicator as well.

Switch gear quality is good on the bike and the red colour for the self-start and yellow for the horn adds a bit of flare. The choke switch is where it belongs. Surprisingly, the hill descent clip on the left brake lever is missing on the Wego.

It has a comfortable seating position, upright and not so wide, perfect for pottering around the city. The seating position is different from other scooters and feels well connected and comfortable at the same time. The seat is extremely soft and comfortable, and it provides a perfect balance for short trips and helps in long journeys too.

The engine is smooth and utterly refined. Powered by a 109cc, 4-stroke, all aluminum, air-cooled engine that churns out 8 BHP of power at 7500 RPM and 8 Nm of torque at 5500 RPM. Sounds great at both low revs and high revs. Power delivery is peaky and the throttle responds quickly to your inputs. Low-end torque is satisfactory, but when the gearbox shifts after 40 km/hr, it is in the power band, which takes you all the way to 80 km/hr very quickly.

Chassis is stiff and the engine is a stressed member, it offers massive confidence when pushed into corners. The telescopic suspension has been well executed and the rake and trail is set up perfectly too. It gives an excellent blend of cornering ability, low turning radius and ride quality at the same time.

Ride quality is excellent at the front and the back too. The 130 mm drum brakes at the rear and the disc brake at the front do a splendid job of slowing you down from higher speeds. Thanks to the compact dimensions and low kerb weight, it stops quickly. The brakes seems excessively powerful for the scooter though. Due to the short wheelbase, maneuvering in the city is a hassle free job. It is extremely nimble and agile in the city, cuts through city traffic in a blink of an eye.

It is an affordable scooter featuring a smooth engine and high-quality materials throughout. All this, combined with an excellent balance between ride comfort and handling, as well as great value for money, makes it an exceptional choice for scooter enthusiasts.
