So how will the TVS Jupiter CNG’s performance fare in real world conditions compared to petrol version?

Question

Now that this CNG variant has been introduced many potential buyers and aficionados are wondering how it would fare compared to the regular petrol model. CNG is also known to be more eco friendly and cost effective but there are fears about power delivery, acceleration and riding experience in general. The CNG tank adds weight which can change the way the scooter handles and performs. As a result, people have been talking about whether the environmental and economic gains of CNG are worth any potential sacrifices in performance. For example, users are especially keen on real world experiences, since the official specifications do not always represent day to day usage scenarios.

It handles so well, I was surprised. The CNG tank seems to add extra weight making it more stable at high speeds.

In my opinion, the fuel savings are worth the performance hit. You soon get used to the slightly lower power.

@kalika-dub · Answer

I found the CNG version to be a little underwhelming as a heavier rider. It doesn't have the instant power you sometimes need in city traffic.

@abhinav-gu · Answer

The game changer is the dual fuel option. When you need that extra oomph, you can switch to petrol, and use CNG for your regular commuting to save money.

For long rides, I actually like CNG model better. In fairness it's not as zippy as the petrol one, but it does feel smoother and quieter.

@md-shafi-i · Answer

The power is reduced, especially when carrying a passenger. Compared to the petrol version, it does struggle a bit on steep inclines.

@pramod-kum · Answer

Both, I've ridden and honestly the difference isn't as big as you think. The CNG version is a little slower off the line, but not enough to be a deal breaker when you are in the city.
