LML Vespa Review



LML Vespa Review

After a long era of waiting LML Vespa is ready to rule the road again and for all those people who have enjoyed the ride, it surely is a nostalgic feeling. Take for example my uncle who proudly owned an LML Vespa Scooter in his early days, his eyes lit up when I informed him that LML Vespa has started production again and is already available in the Metro cities in India.

The interest that generated was pretty appealing and I immediately had an urge to invest in shares of LML Vespa but what did bother him were the price and the concern over the mileage. WE live in a hilly region in Sikkim and back in early 80’s LML Vespa was the only scooter which could easily conquer the steep bumpy mountain roads but in the modern era with Motor bikes giving a good mileage along with style he immediately felt that LML Vespa was far more overpriced beside his concern for the mileage.

 Even the style isn’t very assuring ( which we have seen in the advertisement so far) and so personally I feel LML Vespa scooters are a bit overpriced and with the concern over the mileage and overall ever growing competition in the two wheeler sector it would be hard for LML Vespa to make a mark with such a expensive outlook.

Yes it is one of the oldest players in the two wheeler segment but it is a different ball game back then, when it had no competition, and now were the streets are filled with stylish bikes. So, honestly for LML Vespa to compete it will require to lower the price and after it has build the confidence then they can go for a price increase.

LML Vespa is not yet available here in Sikkim but we are eagerly waiting for it to be launched and most people I have talked so far is really concerned over the price and mileage only. Hope the makers are listening J.
