This review is of 2013 make Wego which was launched(mid of 2012 till Apr-2014) after correcting some of the initial issues like battery.etc. I bought this scooter then only for a short-term usage with the primary objective to make someone learn riding a two-wheeler having a body balance but ended using for self for 40, 000 kms. Seriously it that good if serviced on time. The engine though little short in refinement than Japanese manufacturers but a reliable workhorse with energetic punch all the way till 65kmph. It’s like a small dependable and durable pocket rocket.


What is good:




  • Never deserted me in any season be it on good roads, bad roads or almost no roads.  I  also did my part getting it serviced every 2500 kms with engine oil change at every 2000 kms. If maintained properly can say engine life will easily cross 55K Kms




  • No rattling noise anywhere from the vehicle.




  • Very good build quality, be it panels, switches, paint sheen longevity.  Will easily last for years.




  • Body balance is best experienced while making turns at high or at low speeds. The way entire rider weight is distributed to both the wheels inspire confidence. Cornering is too good something which I never experienced with other scooters(including Jupiter).




  • Spares are reasonable. Clutch costed Rs 1000/- and a pair of brake shoes somewhere around Rs200/-.




  • Parts replaced only once was one pilot lamp, speedo cable, cone kit, clutch at 30K kms and brake shoes.




  • Vehicle road grip is superb. No skidding problem even on wet surface.




  • Mileage in Bangalore mixed conditions was always 41-45 kmpl. Right tuning is important at every service else will come down to 33 kmpl.




  • Cutting through dense city traffic and parking is easy.






What should have been better?




  • Handle developed play after 25K kms. Cone Kit(part of the handle assembly) was replaced and thereafter needed adjustment during every service .I think it is applicable for all the scooters if driven on bad roads regularly which was in my case.




  • Rear TVS tyre life is max 19-20K kms and prone to frequent punctures for the last 5K kms of tyre life. The refreshed Wego now comes with tubeless tyres.




  • Wego perhaps may not be comfortable for everyone particularly if the person height is above 5’9”. The front aerodynamic design further tapers at top corners resulting in painful blows to rider knees over sharp bumps or pot holes(particularly with pillion on board) . I wanted to purchase Wego again but due to this very specific reason settled for Jupiter.




  • I think it is designed only for young people and certainly not practical for everyone.






Overall it’s a well-engineered product and can be tried primarily based on




  • Rider size




  • Good TVS service center.






Plea to TVS to make it a true executive commuter for all.




  • Tune the current Wego similar to old one for punchy city ride,




  • Put the old seat(current one is too soft)




  • Subtle design changes in the front to accommodate tall riders.




  • Slightly raise the handle bar.
