Capturing the market for funky and fuel efficient automatic scooters targeted at the youth has been an ongoing battle for quite some time now. Both of these are extremely stylish automatic scooter that come with very fuel efficient engines and very similar price tags.
Being targeted at the youth, the Honda Beat and the Yamaha Mio both sport stylish designs and vibrant colors. The Honda being fuel injected also comes with an engine malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument panel.
The Honda BeAT is powered by a 110 cc fuel injected, air-cooled engine producing 8.5 hp and 9.01 Nm of torque. The Yamaha Mio Sporty on the other hand, uses a 113.7 cc engine making 7.64 hp and 7.2 Nm of torque. Moving to safety both the scooters are similarly equipped with a single disc on the front and a leading trailing drum brake on the rear. The Honda BeAT also comes with a magnetically lockable ignition keyhole shutter that reduces the risk of the scooter being stolen by thieves.
The Honda BeAT is a very good scooter that excels in every field not just in comparison to the Mio Sporty but also in isolation.
