Scooty Pep!

Two-wheelers are everywhere in India, certainly many more people have them than have cars.  The most prevalent is the motorcycle-style Hero Honda, which comes in many models.  There are also a great many scooter-style two-wheelers, like the Honda Activa.

The pic above is a woman riding on her Scooty.  Scooty is a women’s brand, and though you will see men and women riding Scootys and scooter-style two-wheelers in general, I have *never* seen a woman riding a motorcycle-style two-wheeler here.

Here’s a Scooty pep commercial that plays a lot on TV here, featuring actress Anushka Sharma:

I don’t see many women riding about in the tight Ts and shorts you see in the commercial.  More common is to be bundled up against the dust, rain and wind.
