On Sunday, 13th September, we celebrated Grandparents day. It’s not just the teens or the office going crowd, scooters are becoming a popular choice for the senior citizens as well. Riding a bike or scooter gives us a sense of freedom and enjoyment as compared to a car or public transport. Scooters are light-weight and feature-rich while competitively priced too!
Let's checkout the complete details of scooters available for senior citizens.
TVS Jupiter is one of the popular scooters in India with a starting price of Rs 63,602 (ex-showroom). The new BS6 model delivers 15 percent more mileage than the older model. Currently, the company offers Jupiter in four variants in the Indian market - Base, ZX, ZX Disc and Classic. Being available in eight different colours, BS6 TVS Jupiter comes with Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) for alerting the riders in case of any malfunction.

There is a kick as well as an electric self for starting the scooter.
Suzuki Burgman Street is currently making waves in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 79,700 (Ex-Showroom, India), it comes with Flexible Foot Position for the riders.

The new scooter is sold in six colour schemes - Red, Blue, Purple, Black, Yellow, and Turquoise Blue. Riders will love the large under-seat storage of 19 litres.

Earlier, Hero Motorcorp had the Maestro Edge 110 variant running thoroughly across the two-wheeler market but in 2022, it was discontinued. Within that period, the company launched Hero Maestro Edge 125 in 2018 in 4 variants and 6 stunning colour options. The variant is priced between INR 80,616-85,066 (ex-showroom, Delhi). You get projector LED headlamps, LED tail lamps, fully digital meter, bluetooth connectivity, and hero connect(in-built) but here connect doesn’t come in all variants. The scooter is equipped with a 12V- 4Ah ETZ5 battery. This scooter can be optimal for both youngsters and senior citizens because of the broad seat, feet-space, spacious boot and much more.
