For its male consumers, TVS Wego offers a large capacity engine, full metallic body for more sturdiness, and a spacious seat. For its female consumers, TVS Wego provides light and compact with easy to handle mechanicals and included storage space.

The scooter is designed to package 12 inch wheels, a low seat height for easy ground reach, external fuel fill, and under seat storage. [13]

It is equipped with a fully digital instrument console that sports a trip meter and gives the rider service reminders, low fuel, and low battery indicators. [14]

It has a telescopic suspension and gas filled rear shock absorbers for providing comfort to the rider. A patented easy center stand is geared at making it convenient for the user to put the bike up on center stand. [13]

Other features include a dual side handle lock for ease in parking, a kick start mechanism that makes it possible to start the scooter while sitting, a luminous ignition key for better visibility, and tubeless tyres.

For enhanced safety and ease of operation, the company employs the Sync Braking Technology that features a system which integrates the rear brake and the front brake. [15] It also has Multi-refractor headlamps and a disc brake (as option). [16]

Developments

The company introduced a BS IV compliant version in 2017. The updated version was also fitted with a USB charging port, silver oak panels, and a dual toned seat. It was launched in two new colors: Metallic orange and T-grey. [18] Due to high consumer demand of the TVS Jupiter in India, the TVS Wego has since been discontinued in the Indian market, but continues to be supplied to overseas markets.
