    The TVS XL100 might be a humble moped but it was the one that paved the way for TVS’ success in India. The moped still sells in good numbers in rural areas thanks to its sturdy body and mechanically simple and utterly reliable and frugal motor. Priced between Rs 29,990 and Rs 40,774, the XL100 makes for an economically viable transportation solution. However, these are a few other affordable alternatives you can check out: 

    Hero HF Deluxe ( Rs 38,900 - 39,900):

    At this price range, you can opt for the HF Deluxe Kick start spoke wheels and alloy wheels variant. A more utilitarian iteration of the Splendor, the HF Deluxe uses the former’s underpinnings and powertrain. Its frugal 97.2cc motor delivers 8.36PS and 8.05Nm of torque and gets a four-speed gearbox. The HF Deluxe is known for its reliability and low running costs. 

    Bajaj CT 100 (Rs 33,402 - 41,837):

    You could spend a bit more and opt for the top-spec CT 100, which gets an electric start option. The CT100 is a more stylish alternative to the HF Deluxe and is more comfortable thanks to its rear dual spring shock absorber setup. The electric start variant’s torque motor delivers 7.7PS and 8.24Nm and is known to be frugal as well.

    Palatino Ryan (Rs 38,999):

    With the Honda Cliq discontinued, there are not a lot of affordable scooters in the market. However, you can opt for electric scooters or mopeds around the price of an XL 100. The Palatino Ryan electric moped is one such example. It gets large wheels and a rack ahead of the front apron, seat and at the back. Its 250cc BLDC motor is capable of carrying a gross weight of 230kg at a top speed of 25kmph. The lead-acid battery pack offers a range of 60km and has a charging time of 6 to 8 hours.

So don't very about any issues. It is very comfortable to ride. I'm uisng this bike from last 10 year. It's mileage is very good approx 60 kilometre per litre. And easy to handle. The wheels is bigger than scooter. Also its weight is low. It is very good bike for daily office use and also for family. If you are teacher, business man, office staff or gig worker etc. it is for you. Only one thing is missing it does not look good compare to other bikes for making fashion.

      Review on TVS XL10 0
      My father brought this bike because he don't want gear one. This give the best mileage in the non gear segment. Less maintenance needed for this bike and light weight of the bike frame is easy to handle when it's static. I don't face any kind of issue. Some things I had to repair but is very common like spark plug carbon, some time horn wire got lose that all. Young genz may not like it because of this style. But yes safety factor is neglect in this bike if any accident gonna happened, I think there might be a problem. Any vendor or village uncle who shifted cycle to motor bike, so this would be perfect choice for you. It can carry a large no of weight. Due to light weight of this bike, it's very easy to move. Perfect for village road and not recommended for off-roads but it's easy to carry this bike in farming field.

      Best budget bike
      Bike is in showroom condition limited kilometres run. Neatly maintained suitable for city ride. Comfort very much good. Can carry a family of 4 easily. Overall as all know this is a very good bike suitable for all family usage. Mileage also good. Minimum maintenance. E20 petrol model is an added advantage for future use.

      Very Useful for Daily Work
      l bought this vehicle mainly for daily use and local work. l am using TVS XL 100 from last few months and my overall experience is good. This vehicle is very helpful for daily use and small work purpose. Engine is smooth and reliable, no problem till now. I mostly ride it on local roads and village side roads, and it runs easily even on bad patches. Mileage is very nice and saves fuel cost, which is important for daily riding. I use it for going market, short travel and sometimes carrying light load also. Suspension is okay for this type of vehicle and gives comfortable ride for short distance. Maintenance is low and service center is easily available nearby. Look is simple but strong, build quality feels solid. Overall TVS XL100 is best option for people who want simple, economical and hardworking vehicle.

      TVS XL 100 HONEST REVIEW
      The retro style touch inspired to buy it, The first look of this bike is different from other bikes, It has unique design and big wheels compared to scooters huge leg space and perfect posture for riding the bike. Comfort level is slightly reduced, compared to other modern bike it is lightly less comfort otherwise a great choice, not for the traditional bikers or scooter riders, maintenance cost is quite low to handle it in budget. Person who like retro style or old school design, I would highly recommend them, honestly the mileage is good and overall bike good but one cons is comfort, otherwise nice choice for daily commuters full marks for styling.
