I've been using this two wheeler for over four months now.Here's are my brief observations.
1) BEST SUSPENSION: The Telescopic Front Shock absorber(normally found only in bikes) is just too good.even on the worst potholed roads the Wego keeps you comfortable
2) Balance: The engine is placed in such a way that you wont find the scooter'tilting' to one side coz of the weight.They call it the'Body Balance Technique'
3) The Pick up: Pick up is just great.you will find it zooming ahead even before others are able to race up their vehicle.
4) Decent Average - Although they claimed an average of 45, mine is giving me around 40-42 which I feel is decent enough for Mumbai traffic.
5) Service Center - The service center which I visited(Siddhivinayak TVS, Goregaon) provided a very good service. However SkyRiders at Malad wasnt upto the mark(they didnt even wash the vehicle!).
6) Unisex Appeal - Unlike the Dio and Pleasure which are very Girly type.Wego has the unisex appeal. Ladies will find its design very eye-catching whereas men would find it very smart!
7) Large 12inch wheels- Activa has just 10 Inch wheels.and the extra 2 inches that Wego has makes quite a difference on the road.
8) External Fuel Filler- Trust me this one is a boon! You simply dont need to lift your seat at every petrol pump!
Now for some cribbing(We Indians are used to crib about almost everything;-)
1) After sales service- Although no major issues faced, but I had to wait for a week to get a new mirror after I broke my original mirror. Each and every spare comes from Chennai!
2) Headlight- Not a major issue again, but the headlight is focussed awkwardly.its beam never hits the ground.so at night be prepared to miss the speed breakers!
Overall verdict, if you are thinking of deciding between WEGO or Activa/Access and cant bear the long waiting period of Activa( 10 months in Mumbai!) .Go for Wego! Its worth every rupee you spend! Moreover.NDTV conferred it with the "Scooter of the Year" award at the Car & Bike Awards 2011!
