Mahindra to unveil new 110 cc scooter at Auto Expo 2014

Mahindra Two Wheelers is rumoured to be working on a new 110 cc scooter with an automatic transmission, which will be showcased at the Auto Expo in February 2014. A report by Autocar India claims that the G101, as the bike is codenamed, is in the final stage of development.

At present, Mahindra has a line-up of four scooter models – Rodeo, Duro, Flyte and Kine. While the Kine is powered by a 71.5 cc, single-cylinder engine, the other three use a 124.6 cc unit.

For the moment, Mahindra is prioritising the development of the G101 scooter. Next in line is the 300 cc Mojo motorcycle.
