2014 Suzuki Let’s scooter revealed

As well as the Gixxer motorcycle, Suzuki India has also just unveiled its new Let’s scooter.

Aimed at younger riders, the Let’s is a step-through model that’s powered by a 112 cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled engine. With 8.7 bhp (6.5 kW / 8.8 PS) and 9.0 Nm (6.6 lb/ft) of torque, Suzuki reckons it’ll achieve a class-leading 177.9 mpg (1.6 l/100km / 63 km/l).

The standard specification includes a continuously variable transmission, drum brakes for both wheels and electric- and kick-starters. A kerb weight of 98 kg (216 lbs) plus a low 765 mm (30.1”) seat height should mean the Let’s is easy to handle, while ground clearance is 160 mm (6.3”).

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
