Top Lightweight Scooters for Beginners : Looking to begin your scooter journey in 2025? Whether students, workers, or the uninitiated-light scooters find their rightful place here. They are nimble, fuel or battery-efficient, and aglow with good technology. Great things have flowed by, and it seems even the petrol scooters and electric scooters for beginners will be given a go-ahead in 2025, as hybrids, too, have been unlocked. Thus, let’s look at the best lightweight scooters for new riders in India this year.
Honda Dio 125
The 125 is sportier and more lightweight, being a strong contender for fuel efficiency at about 55-60 km/l. A scooter known for smooth handling, a low seat, and bold looks, Dio is the best possible scooter for a gentle rider out there at a weight of about 104 kg.
TVS Scooty Pep Plus
Again, a long-time favorite for beginners with a weight of just 93 kg, one of the lightest petrol scooters in India. It’s ideal for short commutes in the city, with mileage exceeding 60 kmpl, and is easy to kick-start or use the electric-start combination.
Ather Rizta S
The Ather Rizta S is Ather’s new in-the-family lightweight scooter. It weighs about 1124 kg, has quite a decent ride on it with a guided touchscreen dashboard, and a near-100 km real-world range. It charges very well and has reliable app support.
