AutoBytes: Upcoming maxi scooters to hit Indian roads this year

What's the story

Apart from the conventional motorcycles, IoT-enabled EVs, the next big thing in the Indian biking culture will be the maxi-scooters.

These two-wheelers come loaded with powerful engines and can be a great alternative to regular motorcycles when it comes to long distance commuting.

Here, we look at some of the upcoming maxi-scooters to arrive in India in 2020.

Details

First, a bit about maxi-scooters

It is a category of scooters that are fueled by more powerful engines (250cc or more) as compared to the regular scooters. They are considered ideal for long distance commuting due to their comfortable seating position, bigger fuel tank, and decent under-seat storage.

Apart from that, these touring scooters also feature a larger body frame and come loaded with a host of premium features.

It will be fueled by a 279cc liquid-cooled motor that churns out 25PS of power and 27Nm of peak torque.

Aprilia SXR 160

Lastly, Piaggio-owned Aprilia will launch the SXR 160 maxi-scooter in India in the third quarter of 2020. The scooter may not be a true maxi-scooter as per its mechanical specifications, but design-wise, it surely looks like one.

The scooter comes with an attractive design featuring beefy-looking fairings and all-LED fitments for lighting.

Further, it packs a 160cc engine that produces 10.8PS of maximum power.
