Can you name a 2-stroke model scooter being sold new in India? Everything I can find currently being sold is 4-stroke. In fact AFAICT 2-strokes are illegal to sell new in India.
(Personally I'd rather ride a scooter than drive a tiny car in a dense urban area, because my awareness is much higher on a scooter, and also I've ridden scooters around London for a decade.)
- mschuster91 9y agoTIL. My level of knowledge apparently is at 2014 (e.g. http://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/twostroke-vehicles-are-the-worst-polluters-44402 http://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/twostroke-vehicles-are-th...). The problem is, even if no new ones are sold, there will be a mass of old 2-stroke scooters being used/sold until they break...
- lmm 9y agoSure, but comparing a newly-released car to 3+-year-old scooters seems likely to be misleading.
- kamaal 9y agoAs an India staying in Bangalore, this is spot on. There is one more important thing its urban parking spaces. You can never build enough car parking for India's urban population density. This is apart from the fact that scooters give better mileage(Motorcycles even better). My Bajaj discover 150cc gives 60-70 kilometers/litre.
