Next-gen TVS Wego caught testing

Spy images of what appears to be the second generation TVS Wego have surfaced online. 

The camouflaged test mule seems to have a similar shape as the current Wego. The tail lamp cluster comprises of a centrally positioned brake light flanked by turn signals. The production-spec model could receive LED lights. The fuel filler is placed behind the seat. It has been reported that the scooter had redesigned rear view mirrors and a digital instrument cluster with an analogue dial. The scooter also has a side-mounted exhaust featuring a heat shield. The exhaust note was reportedly sportier than the current model.

TVS currently offers a 109.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine on the Wego. The engine produces 8 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 8.4 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm and is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It comes with 130 mm drum brakes as standard, while a 220 mm front disc brake is offered as an option.

The second generation TVS Wego will compete with the Honda Activa and the Hero Duet in the Indian market.

TVS Motor introduces Sync Brake System in Wego and Jupiter

TVS Motor has introduced its new Sync Brake System (SBS) technology on two of its gearless scooters - Wego and Jupiter. All variants of the two scooters are now equipped with this new technology.

The Sync Brake System essentially provides appropriate proportioning of braking power to the front and rear wheels. As a result, even if the rider pulls just the rear brake lever, the front brakes are applied automatically. The company claims that this can help in distributing the braking power evenly, thus making the braking more controllable and effective.

The SBS technology works on a relay lever that is responsible for co-applying brakes in quick succession. The input force applied on the brake lever is distributed to both wheels through a control mechanism called THE MULTIPLIER, which avoids any division in braking force due to the distribution. TVS also claims that, in addition to enhancing rider safety, the SBS technology can also help in improving the life of tyres and brake liners.

Manufacturers like Honda and Hero are already offering similar technologies in their scooter range, under the Combi-Braking System (CBS) and Integrated Braking System (IBS) names, respectively.
