These scooters strike the right chord between style, performance & efficiency, making them ideal candidates for our market
Indonesia is the third-largest two-wheeler market in the world after India and China. The increase in disposable income and the rising demands for a cheaper mode of personal transportation are a few of the key factors responsible for the growth of the two-wheeler market in Indonesia.
The sky-rocketing fuel prices have forced many people to abandon their big displacement bikes and switch to smaller commuters. We are not complaining that the smaller capacity scooters or motorcycles are not fun machines. Of all the categories, the 125-150cc category has become quite popular in India. The 125-150cc scooters offer the perfect balance between power and fuel efficiency.
We have provided a list of five scooters sold in Indonesia that we want in India.
