TVS Wego Scooter & TVS Jive Bike Launched
Print This Post
TVS motors have launched the much expected bigger gear-less scooter Wego and a clutch-less bike named Jive yesterday. A quick glimpse of both, Speaking about Wego, the engine is a 110c.c four stroke air cooled that churns out 8bhp at 7500 rpm with a torque value of 8Nm at 5500 rpm. TVS also has addressed as Wego will be a fully furnished scooter that will be loved by all families that loves to commute in a scooter.
TVS also has equipped this vehicle with body balancing technology that enables lower stress and gives an easy steer around the traffic which again provides better control and maneuverability eliminating weight distribution hassles. TVS Wego also comes with a whole new features that attracts everyone which includes twelve inch alloys, LED tail lamps with optical guides for optimum visibility, external fuel filler, integrated glove box, sealed maintenance free battery, gas charged rear shock absorbers, under seat charger to charge the battery as well as mobile phone and much more. TVS Wego is priced at Rs.42,500 (Ex-showroom Chennai).
Talking about the new Jive, one important and an attractive highlight is that the bike is equipped with an automatic clutch which when remembered is the next bike to Hero Honda Street. The Jive has a 110 cc four stroke heart that produces 8.4bhp at 7500rpm with a torque value of 8.3Nm at 5500rpm. TVS Jive comes with a T-matic clutch that lets the rider change gears without having to use the clutch manually this also means there will be no clutch lever present. The gearbox is sourced from its Indonesian plant whereas the engine is made at their home plant in Hosur. The Jive at a mere 110 kg weight can maneuver traffic effortlessly with an added advantage of the new automatic clutch.
The Jive is also equipped with anti stall mechanism that makes riding smooth even in the lower gears without the engine shutting off which is again impossible with the motorcycles that are equipped with a manual clutch. The bike is also equipped with an electric starter and the bike can be started irrespective of whatever gear it is parked in. Jive is also the first motorcycle in India that comes with an under seat storage space that can fairly hold some necessities. TVS Jive is priced at Rs. 41,000 (ex-showroom Chennai).
I seriously hope, both the Wego and Jive will be some serious fun in our future reviews that will be done soon.
Regards,
Ram

ACCORDING TO ME LAUNCHING A GEARLESS SCOOTER IS OK BUT A CLUTCH LESS BIKE IS NOT VERY EXCITING BECAUSE NOWADAYS EVERYBODY IS USED TO THE CLUTCHES & IT WILL VERY CONFUSING AND UNEASY TO DRIVE SUCH A BIKE. LETS SEE HOW THE PEOPLE RESPONSE TO IT. HOPE NOT IT CREATES A HISTORY IN THE MARKET….

@Raghav
Riding a bike without clutch is definitely a fun I personally had ridden Hero Honda Street, Clutch-less bikes are very common in Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines but it would be wrong if we call them a bike because they are moreover moped like women oriented vehicles but TVS has attempted this concept with motorcycle for the first time in India to entertain those bike enthusiasts who want to enjoy their city ride with ease of auto clutch without leaving their darling bikes.

yes.. i have ridden hero honda street smart… it had rotary gears without clutch.. Neutral-1st-2nd-3rd-4th-Netural and so on..no clutch was there.. gears were smooth.. but shifting did feel wierd… and if sudden gear change to lower gear at high speed.. then tyre slip was sure
Kunal on November 26, 2009 at 11:24 pm
I’ve ridden Jive 2 months ago in Pune as my dad works 4 TVS n it really felt smooth….Gear change is not a problem n pick up is instant…..
You need 2 get used 2 bike like this but it was totally a different experience 4 me n in did fun 2 drive………
Tushal on November 27, 2009 at 11:41 am
Well i wish to know something. In normal bikes if i brake in third gear to halt, i have to down shift to first or if you are good then atleast second gear to move on from halt. Otherwise the bike stops. How is that over here. If i halt from third gear what will happen? It will surely be a boon in city traffic but for fun driving am not sure as i have not felt it…… The adrenaline of third gear coupled with clutch is what i always love.
sanket kambli on November 27, 2009 at 2:25 pm
@Tushal
If you halt in third gear… then you will have to get to 1st gear to start moving again.. same as any bike..only you dont use clutch… just the throttle…
fas on November 27, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I like the pace of TVS, they are surely going sum where with this
Raghav on November 27, 2009 at 10:35 pm
clutch is the most important element in controlling the bike .
will its absence in this bike cause a problem ?
how will we pop up wheelies with it, and what bout stoppies ?
sanket kambli on November 28, 2009 at 11:31 am
@Raghav..
I dont think this bike is made for stunting….
it is for people who find clutch use confusing or stressful in traffic… want something simple to use and dont even think about performace racing….
sanket kambli on November 28, 2009 at 11:35 am
@fas
i agree with you
DHIRAJ C RAUT on December 1, 2009 at 9:20 pm
please anyone tell me…..in geared bike you release throttle and change gears….do we have to release throttle here too….
sanket kambli on December 2, 2009 at 10:46 am
@DHIRAJ C RAUT
in these clutch-free geared bikes… you can change gears by not releasing throttle..but if you do so after the gear is engaged the bike may surge or jerk forward due to sudden increase in speed.. so it is recommended to release throttle before changing gears..
hope that helps

People, Eager to know about the tvs wego peformance. Please post your comments on that. Accrording to me now a days traffic is getting worst day by day…so lets say bye bye to clutch and welcome the clutch free modules to save fuel….
fakhru on February 22, 2010 at 1:18 pm
TVS jive is the best bike for begginers and tension free bike.
there is no problem for changing gears without clutch, personally using cluch in engine is useless for nowadays technology, it is just like PC -> laptop -> mobile.
so better to go for latest technology.
Vasudevan K on March 11, 2010 at 6:42 am
I agree with Raghav and SRK….. I tried to buy a vehicle like hero honda street but they stopped the production. Gear+clutch = you have to do two work simultaneously. With out clutch = easy riding in traffic especially in metros…. As fakhru says, we have to adopt newer technology… and if we dont want, others may like……
HARI on March 11, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Hi, I would like to know people’s experience with TVS JIVE Bike. I heard some comments like bike without clutch would be some problematic and it causes problems in engine.
Could any one suggest me , whether one can go for Clutchless Bike like JIVE.
himanshu on March 22, 2010 at 7:53 pm

whether it is by the the following essay or not I am happy about the gearless tvs jive. special thanks to president of tvs motors sri Radhakrishnan for this.

MOTOR CYCLE WITHOUT GEAR/25/12/2008/
I want to know whether there is any motor cycle without gear. When I search the net I found
activa,scooty,kinetic,scooty pep,pleasure etc. But all these are only scooters and not motor cycles.
I want to have the look of a motor cycle and at the same time it must have the benefits of a gearless
vehicles. In roads we can see motorcyclist stops suddenly when another vehicle crosses suddenly
(it may not be a big lorry (the killer) but a small boy with a cycle). The changing of gears or applying
the break without proper application of clutch will make the vehicle stops suddenly on the spot
making the gear box jammed inside put the rider in an accident. Most accidents are happening
due to clutch application. Normally people at the age of above fifty are suffering with this problem as
they cannot act suddenly in this situation. I request any body else to write to me whether there is any motorcycle (not scooter) without gear. asokanvvr@yahoo.com
If there is no such product up to now the companies can do the research to produce such vehicle
ie with an appearance of a motorcycle and benefits of a scooter.
Some over enthusiastic mechanics can prepare this vehicle by merging a Hero Honda motorcycle
and the engine of a Pleasure. Or a Star city with a super XL engine.
Is this possible?

I am surprised to note that thought the TVS wego is launched since long time in market , but it is not seen on Ahmedabad , Gujarat road! Can anyone answer that , though the TVS wego is place in market in competition with Honda active and Suzuki 125 access but it seems that sale of TVS wego is still not like or not know to the public at large yet. What is the reason behind the low sale?
