I once wrote about how scooters have evolved over the years, which you can fi nd on our website, but let’s stick to the point. The other day, while riding the Jupiter 125 SmartXonnect back home from work, I happened to receive a phone call, and thanks to its app connectivity, I could see who was calling. To think of a few decades ago, the best we got was a small pod on the handlebar.
So what’s new on the TVS Jupiter 125 SmartXonnect? The semi-digital cluster has been replaced by a fullydigital unit. Turn the key and if you’ve signed up/registered on the app, the scooter will immediately greet you with a welcome message along with your name. Once the app is connected via bluetooth, the cluster then displays things like the latest cricket/football scores, weather updates, social media notifications, battery voltage, average fuel consumption with DTE, and amount of CO2 saved as well. While weather updates and call alerts can be somewhat useful, on the road you just cannot afford to have distractions such as cricket scores and social media notifi cations.
