Best Scooter In India For Girls

There are over a dozen scooters that we have reviewed on MileageInfo till date. A few of these are targeted at the male customers while the entire rest is either unisex or are targeted exclusively at the female buyers. So if you are a woman looking for the best scooter from a mileage perspective, read on.

First and foremost, scooters are pretty fuel-inefficient. Most of the scooters available in the market cost between Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 50,000 and come with a good 100cc engine. Despite this, the mileage they offer is quite lower than what motorbikes in the same engine and price range have on offer. So for this article, we will first compare the basic tech-specs of the various female-targeted scooters, then look at their prices (ex-showroom Delhi) and finally compare the mileage as reviewed by some major sources.

Tech Specs Comparison

The engine displacement has a huge effect on the power you can derive from any bike. However it needs to be remembered that power comes with burning fuel and so a higher powered engine often consumes more fuel and consequently has a lower mileage. At the end of the day, it comes down to individual preference – what’s more important to you; the power or mileage? Or a good balance of both of them? Take that and the price of the scooters into consideration while making the purchasing decision. So first off, let’s compare the tech specs of the dozen scooters in contention. We will be comparing the engine displacement, power, torque and kerb weight of these scooters in the table below.

So there you have quite a few 125cc scooters that offer a better power. But also note that a lot of these scooters weigh over 110kg and if you will find it heavy, you should be going for something that weighs lower. Honda Aviator is a good choice in my opinion – it doesn’t weigh a lot but still manages to offer the same power as the 125c Sym Flyte or Rodeo RZ.

Next up, let us compare the fuel economy delivered by the various scooters. Traditionally, we take our readers through mileage as reported by the manufacturer as well as what has been reported by various independent third party test rides and customer reviews. However, since this could get complicated if we are to go through several sources, what we will do is mention the manufacturer claim as well as the median city road mileage as reported on our individual studies. If you want to read in depth for any of the scooters, do go through our scooter list here.

The scooters are ranked according to the median mileage in the above table. However, do note that this is just a general trend and may not be scientifically correct. That’s because the numbers are pulled from various overlapping and sometimes mutually exclusive sources. Also, the reported numbers are by different people each of whom could weigh different (and which has an effect on the overall mileage) and so you may see a different mileage from what is offered here. However, this should give you an idea of what’s better and what’s not.

As I see it, Honda Activa definitely looks to be the best bet considering that it offers sufficient power at a significantly good economy. However, if you are looking for a lighter scooter under 110kg, then you could probably pick Yamaha Ray or Mahindra Rodeo RZ – both these bikes offer decent mileage and weigh just around 104kg so which is good.
