Findings of Survey
Print/TV ad is the major source of information for
women
Positive Word of mouth from relatives/ friends is
also considered sometimes
Transportation & being independent are primary
reasons behind purchase of 2 wheelers
Price, color, mileage, safety, comfort, weight are
the factors considered while buying
Promotional offers does not influence decision to a
great extent
22
Female Consumer Research(Contd.)….
Findings of Survey
Though majority of women are OK with technology
not many of them would like to pay extra for it
In cities, women prefer owning a 4 wheeler than a
two wheeler
Too many models confuse the consumer
Frequent addition of features to existing models
make customer feel his model outdated

Observations
75% consumers have Honda Activa as first choice
TVS Scooty is No 2 selling two wheeler
Consumers give more emphasis on metal body &
weight
Multipurpose use for all members of family
Word of mouth is the biggest source of information
Scooty more preferred by students
Out of 99 colours, only 6-8 colours of scooty in
demand creating inventory problem
Scooty is light in weight, skids easily and thus more
risky to drive
26
Mechanics Research….
‘99 colours’ offering - accessories of a specific colour
not readily available and difficult to stock
After sales and maintenance service at authorized
dealers not satisfactory
As compared to Activa, Scooty requires early and
more frequent servicing and repairs
Scooty not suitable for double seat drive as light in
weight
Average life of Scooty is less than that of Activa
Mechanics Research(Contd.)….
Fibre body perceived as weak as compared to metal
body
Improper balance and skids easily
Not suitable for long distance running
Company should not go for digital control systems as
maintenance is expensive
Need of a broader, heavier and metal body model for
better balancing and to make it for use by all
Internet Research….
