Does the TVS Raider 125 iGO's lack of a kick starter mean anything?
The TVS Raider 125 iGO hasn’t got a kick starter, something that has been something of a debate among potential buyers and motorcycle aficionados. The latter argue that electric starters in lieu of the kick starters provide sufficient reliability whereas the former claim that kick starters are a necessary back up, given Indian conditions. Battery problems could leave riders stranded — in remote areas or on long trips. On the flip side, removing the kick starter saves weight and complexity. It's also viewed as a way to modernize the commuter segment. However, does this decision leave too many of the more traditional riders or those who like a mechanical backup behind? Is TVS making a bold move in the direction of the future or are they going to turn away a major chunk of their target market?
I honestly haven’t missed having a kick starter on my Raider. The reliability of electric start has been good, and one less thing to worry about maintenance wise. It also makes the bike look cleaner.
