TVS Wego Discontinued In India; Will Be Manufactured Only For Export Markets

TVS Motor Company has discontinued the TVS Wego in India. The TVS Wego was first launched in 2010 as a rival to the Honda Activa. As a scooter, it was quite rich in features. It had a 12-inch wheel, telescopic forks up front. When introduced as a BS4 model, it had a USB port on offer as well. The last time the TVS Wego got an update was in 2018 where it got new graphics design, new colour schemes and a few added features as well. The scooter also got a new seat along with pass-by switch and a maintenance free battery. Over the years, sales of the TVS Wego had declined and the Jupiter became more popular. With the coming of the TVS NTorq 125, it was further pushed back.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
