By After an 8-year wait, United has unveiled the second generation of its 100cc scooty, and it’s nothing short of impressive. With a refreshed design, advanced technology, and a price tag of PKR 270,000, this scooty is poised to be a top choice for men and women seeking a reliable and modern two-wheeler.
A Real Generation Upgrade
Unlike many local motorcycle brands like Atlas, Yamaha, and Suzuki, which often rebrand old models with new stickers, United has delivered a complete generation upgrade. The scooty’s new design embraces curves and angular lines, in tune with the modern design language of 2024.
This generation features a cool and futuristic look, with improved aesthetics and functional enhancements. Compared to its predecessor, this scooty’s design feels contemporary, aligning it with the latest global trends.
Key Features and Enhancements
- Lighting: While the headlights remain halogen, the new addition of an LED DRL lightbar on the handlebar gives the scooty a sharp, modern edge. The rear design, though conventional, is practical and aesthetically pleasing, with sturdy metal grips that can double as support for a carry box.
- Instrument Cluster: The scooty boasts a straightforward, no-nonsense instrument panel. Essential metrics such as time, RPMs, speed, trip A, trip B, and fuel level are displayed logically, offering a clean and user-friendly interface. Unlike some flashy yet unreliable aftermarket meters, this one delivers practicality and precision.
- Comfortable Seating: The seat features premium-looking artificial leather with double-stitched white threading. It comfortably accommodates two people, though in typical Pakistani fashion, it could squeeze three—but we don’t recommend it.
Engine and Performance
The scooty is powered by a 97cc forced-air-cooled engine paired with a CVT transmission. It generates 6.43 horsepower at 8500 RPM and 6.5 N.m of torque at 5500 RPM, ensuring smooth and reliable performance for city commutes.
The forced-air cooling system includes a fan that directs cool air to the engine, compensating for the engine’s placement, which restricts natural airflow. This feature enhances engine durability, especially in Pakistan’s challenging weather conditions.
A Step Forward in Scooter Design
The second-generation United 100cc scooty highlights the potential of local brands when quality manufacturing and thoughtful design are prioritized. While the scooty is produced in China, it serves as a reminder of the stagnation often seen in locally produced models, where yearly updates are limited to superficial changes.
United’s latest offering is a testament to innovation, combining affordability, practicality, and a fresh design. This is a scooty built for those who value both aesthetics and functionality in a budget-friendly package.
If you’re in the market for a reliable, stylish, and efficient two-wheeler, the United 100cc scooty is undoubtedly worth considering.
