Activa 6G - pros & cons
The Activa 6G delivers a mileage close to 60 kmpl and this makes it a practical choice for daily use. Its engine is smooth and dependable and features like external fuel filling, silent start and an 18-litre underseat storage add everyday convenience.
Honda’s extensive service network also makes maintenance simple and the slightly heavier build gives the scooter better stability on highways.
However, the Activa 6G is priced higher than the Pleasure Plus and it may influence budget-conscious buyers. The analogue console feels dated in a market where semi-digital units are becoming standard. Although its heavier weight is useful for stability, it makes the scooter slightly less agile. It may not feel as easy to handle for some riders.
Hero Pleasure Plus - pros & cons
The Hero Pleasure Plus is positioned as a budget-friendly scooter. It is light and easy to handle and is a good fit for city rides and shorter commutes. Features such as a semi-digital console and USB charging port give it a modern edge, whereas the engine delivers slightly more power at lower rpm. It also offers peppy performance in stop-and-go traffic. Its compact size further adds to the ease of use, especially for riders who prefer a lighter scooter.
However, the Pleasure Plus does have some limitations. Its mileage is lower at around 50 kmpl and the smaller 4.8-litre fuel tank requires more frequent refueling. It is comparatively less suitable for highway use as its top speed is around 75 km/h.
Why should you buy two wheeler insurance for your scooter?
Owning a scooter comes with responsibilities. One of the most important things is getting two wheeler insurance. By law, third-party insurance is mandatory under the Motor Vehicles Act. It protects you if your scooter causes injury to someone or damages their property. Without it, you risk heavy fines and even suspension of your driving licence.
For broader protection, consider acquiring comprehensive two wheeler insurance. It covers third-party liabilities and also safeguards your own scooter. From accident repairs and theft to damages caused by natural disasters like floods and earthquakes or man-made events like riots, it ensures you’re financially protected.
Conclusion
When it comes to the Activa 6G vs the Pleasure Plus, both scooters bring their own strengths to the table. One focuses on fuel efficiency and practicality, whereas the other stands out for affordability and ease of use.
Before making a decision, review what is most important to you and consider which scooter can offer the most value to your riding style, typical commute, location, budget, preferences and more.
