TVS Wego Dimensions
The all new TVS Wego measures 1834mm in height, 640mm in width and 1115mm in height. The wheelbase of TVS Wego measures 1275mm. The TVS Wego’s seat height is relatively short which is reachable even for short riders. The fuel tank capacity of TVS Wego is 5 litres. The underseat storage is sufficient enough to keep a camera bag or helmet.
TVS Wego Engine and Transmission
The all new 2017 TVS Wego is powered by 4-stroke, single cylinder, air-cooled, spark ignition 109.7cc engine. TVS Wego’s 110cc engine is capable enough to churn out a maximum power of 5.88kW at 7500 rpm and can deliver a peak torque of 8.4Nm @ 5500rpm. The engine is mated to a CVT automatic gearbox. Both Self-start and Kick-start options are available for TVS Wego.
TVS Wego Performance
Talking about the on road performance of TVS Wego, the scooter felt easy and good to ride in city conditions in a small range. When taken on long range (for more than 20 Kms) on highways, the Wego got bit tired (and even the rider) – the reason could be scooter’s light weight and we felt its not-so-stable when ridden more than 80Kmph. Scooters like Jupiter, Dio, Activa 125 and Access 125 performed well even at the higher speeds.
TVS Wego Mileage
The Mileage offered by TVS Wego scooter is not something which we can highlight. While it did provide good fuel-efficiency when ridden on “Eco” mode, but on “Power” mode the mileage was quite average. The “power” mode triggered whenever there was a higher rate of acceleration or at higher speeds and we got a mileage of around 35Kmpl to 40 Kmpl which is not that great for a 110cc automatic scooter.
TVS Wego Suspension, Handling and Braking
TVS Wego gets advanced telescopic suspension in the front and a unit swing, gas charged hydraulic damper suspension at the rear. We got a chance to test the TVS Wego in the rainy and wet conditions and scooter performed well offering a good stability on wet surface.
The handling and manoeuvring ability offered by TVS Wego is good. Making those quick turns and zig-zagging through bumper-to-bumper traffic were achieved at ease. Special mention to TVS Wego’s unique “Body Balance Technology” which claims to offer better balance during the ride, enhanced stability and ideal body weight distribution.
The features like Body Balance Technology will be particularly helpful for beginners who are trying to learn the scooter for the first time. They can take the advantages offered by this technology and quickly learn body balancing and the art of riding the scooter.
Both the front and rear wheels gets 130mm drum brakes. The scooter is also available with 220mm Disc brake in the front which is priced slightly more. The brakes were responsive – Thanks to TVS’s Synchronized brake system.
TVS Wego Pillion Comfort and Space
The ride on TVS Wego with a pillion rider was good – the seats were good and the grab rails offered good support for the person sitting at the back. TVS Wego offered good amount of space in the front as well as under the seat to store shopping bags and helmet.
TVS Wego Price
The ex-showroom Bangalore price of all new TVS Wego Drum Brake version is INR 49,990 and the price of Disc brakeversion of TVS Wego is INR 55,745 ( Ex-showroom Bangalore)
TVS Wego Verdict
We felt TVS Wego is a pretty looking, decent scooter for short distance travel. The body balance technology and synchronised braking system makes the Wego a great choice for beginners. The external Fuel filling ability, the all new digital only speedometer and the wide range of attractive colors offered makes TVS Wego a good scooter to buy.
