However, smaller engine Pep Plus delivers better mileage than the bigger Honda Activa or Bajaj Wave. The mile registered claims 49.1kpl in city conditions and a creditable 53.8kpl on a relatively open highway.
So, the choice is yours!All the three offers different features to meet the needs of women. Ironically marketing analyst say that men don't see women's bikes as women's bikes. Men use these bikes for the same reasons that women buy them - comfort and convenience. So just raid the nearest showroom, it is time to own India's most popular scooters of 2007.
