The British scooter maker is also known for its customization ranges. It offers personalization choices like color and finishes along with windscreen, luggage racks, and protective guards modification.

Conclusion: Although, Scomadi is a good brand and wishes to bring a new range of scooters in India, looking at the price tag it won\'t be easy for this scooter to survive in India. As Vespa being a reputed brand in the country, still people are not comfortable to buy its new Vespa 125 which is priced around 80,000 in India. This scooter can prove to be more expensive for India. Else, we welcome the new brand to Indian soil and wish to see some blend in the scooter range.
