But how practical is a Supro in crowded Indian cities?
India's urban areas are characterised by congested streets, narrow lanes and lack of parking space. With its compact dimensions the Mahindra Supro is an interesting choice to tackle these hard to reach places. But its small size also makes it questionable for many uses from commercial applications to family transport. In this question, we look at the trade offs between maneuverability and capacity; how easy is it to park, how easy is it to navigate tight spaces, and how much you can actually carry or how many people you can transport comfortably. The second part of the story also explores the wider question of whether vehicles like the Supro are an appropriate solution to urban mobility in India's peculiar traffic conditions, or if they're just too much of a compromise in terms of space and comfort.
Indian cities are the right size for the Supro. It's easy to squeeze it into small parking spots and narrow gullies.
It’s a cost, but it’s practical. Yes, it’s easy to drive around in, but it comes at the expense of much passenger comfort and cargo space.
The Supro's size is a godsend for small businesses doing local deliveries. It's a roofed scooter with more carrying capacity.
I don't think it's really practical for it to be that small. You’re always making trips because you can’t carry enough in one go.
It works great until you need to haul anything large. You then realize how limiting it is.
It's a mixed bag. Good for getting through traffic, but cramped for longer journeys or with a full load.
The Supro hits a sweet spot for urban use. It's not so big as to be a bother in tight spaces, but big enough to be useful.
