To commemorate 25 years of TVS Scooty in India, the company has now launched the Pep+ in two new colour options.
The original ‘Scooty’ has completed 25 years in India. It was one of the first modern automatic scooters to launch in India, and was preferable cheaper than Honda Activa and Eterno.
The TVS Scooty Pep+ is now available in two additional colour options – Revving Red and Glittering Gold. With new additions, it is now available in 7 different colour options.
Other than that, there are no mechanical upgrades. TVS Scooty Pep+ is priced starting from Rs 42,397 to Rs 42,897 (ex-showroom Delhi).
