The new generation of small scooters have a large space under the seat and since the seat is lockable, the dicky is automatically locked.

There is also a disadvantage in the small-wheeled scooters over large wheeled motorcycles. The scooter is less stable due to its small wheels and is not as stable as a large-wheeled motorbike on potholed roads. Also, the majority of scooters sold in India have engines on one side, which makes for unsafe braking.

Apart from the above personal and vehicle factors, service and spares is another very factor to consider. This covers the strength of the dealership network and spare parts prices of a particular brand in your Town. In order to gauge the availability of the spare parts, it will be wise to ask a few people regarding the availability and pricing of spare parts of that model.
The only point left out now is the money aspect, about which only you can decide. However, with the plethora of bank schemes available, even that is not a major barrier. Each and every vehicle is available on instalment plan. You do not even have to go the finance company, your dealer will do that for you. Sign on the dotted line and the vehicle is yours.
