TVS Zest 110 vs Honda Dio: Light, Easy Scooters Compared

If the priority is a scooter that anyone in the house can ride, weight matters more than power. The TVS Zest 110 and the Honda Dio are the two obvious candidates, and both are genuinely easy machines to live with.

The numbers at a glance

• TVS Zest 110: 109.7 cc, 7.81 PS, rated around 62 kmpl, 97 kg
• Honda Dio: 109.51 cc and roughly 7.8 PS
• Performance is effectively level, so weight and comfort decide it
• At 97 kg the Zest is one of the lightest scooters we sell

Weight and ease of riding

The Zest 110 weighs just 97 kg, which makes it one of the lightest scooters we sell. For a new rider, a shorter rider or an older family member, that number is the whole argument. The Dio is similarly light and equally approachable. Both are far less intimidating than a 125 cc scooter.

Engine and performance

The Zest makes 7.81 PS from 109.7 cc. The Dio produces around 7.8 PS from 109.51 cc. These two are effectively level. Either will carry two adults around town without complaint, though neither is built for sustained highway running with a full load.

Mileage

The Zest 110 is rated at around 62 kmpl, which is strong for the class and better than most 125 cc scooters manage. The Dio is quoted in similar territory. For a household covering 20 to 30 km a day, either keeps fuel spending low.

Comfort and practicality

The Zest has a comfortable seat, useful underseat storage and a light, easy steering feel that suits crowded market lanes. The Dio leans sportier in its styling and appeals to younger riders. Both handle the everyday school run and market trip without fuss.

Which one should you buy?

• Choose the TVS Zest 110 for its light 97 kg kerb weight, strong rated mileage of around 62 kmpl and easy handling for every rider in the family.
• Choose the Honda Dio if its sportier styling is what appeals to the person who will ride it most.
• If you need more space and pulling power for three, look at the TVS Jupiter instead.

These two are so evenly matched mechanically that the decision belongs to whoever will ride it. Put a new rider on both, watch which one they wheel out of a parking space more confidently, and buy that one. In our experience the 97 kg Zest wins that test more often than not.
