In 2025, I bought the . As someone who prefers automatic transmission vehicles, this was pretty much the only option in my budget that also looked sporty and premium.

Since it shares its engine platform with the , I already expected the performance to be good. But the first time I twisted the throttle, the response honestly surprised me. For a scooter, it felt insanely quick while still being smooth and refined.

Whenever my friends or relatives rode it, they immediately noticed how different it felt compared to a normal scooter. The pickup, stability, and highway confidence are on another level.

It’s been more than a year now, and I still enjoy riding this maxi scooter.

So here’s my pros and cons list after 1 year of ownership.

Pros

1. The highway performance feels amazing. Overtakes are effortless.

2. Handling is surprisingly stable and confidence-inspiring for a scooter.

3. In the beginning, people would literally stop and ask about the scooter because of how unique it looked.

4. Mileage is decent considering the performance. I usually got around 35–41 km/l in the city, and even better on highways.

5. The throttle response still puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.

Problems I Faced in 1 Year

1. Battery issue

It took almost 5 days for the service center to properly identify that the issue was actually the battery. Thankfully,  replaced it under warranty. I can explain the full issue in the comments if anyone wants details.

2. Engine overheating issue

At around 7,000 km (roughly 390 days of ownership), I suddenly faced a scary issue. The scooter started overheating, black smoke came out, and the engine suddenly lost power.

I had to rush to the service center immediately, and the scooter stayed there for almost 5 days. The service charges were covered, but I still ended up paying around ₹4K for consumables and parts like coolant, brakes, etc.

3. TCS warning still showing

Even after servicing, the service center told me the issue was resolved, but the TCS warning still keeps showing sometimes. That part honestly disappointed me because after spending time and money, you expect the scooter to come back fully fixed.

Another thing is that I’ve never done rash riding, burnouts, or abused the scooter in any way. Still, within a short ownership period, I already had to deal with brake shoe replacement, brake pads, coolant issues, battery replacement, and other small expenses.

That’s the frustrating part of owning this scooter. The riding experience feels premium, but the ownership experience sometimes doesn’t.

And honestly, I just want this scooter to get properly fixed because when it works the way it should, it genuinely feels like one of the best scooters out there.

It has flaws, no doubt.

But then again… what other option do we really have in this segment?

“Burai hai isme… but kya kare, koi aur option bhi nahi hai.”

Would I still recommend it?

Yes — but only if you value performance, sporty design, and uniqueness more than comfort and practicality.

If your priority is family comfort, storage space, and relaxed riding, there are better scooters out there. But if you want something that feels exciting every single time you twist the throttle, the Aerox is hard to ignore.
