Targeting female riders and beginners, the TVS Scooty Pep was introduced in 2003 as a small, lightweight scooter. With a sleek, unisex design, smooth contours, vivid colours, and a low seat height (about 740 mm) to ensure ease of use for shorter riders, its design placed a strong emphasis on ergonomics, accessibility, and manoeuvrability. A smooth, gearless ride and good fuel efficiency were provided by the scooter's 87.8 cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke motor with CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). It was lightweight (kerb weight around 95 kg) and durable thanks to its high-tensile steel monocoque frame. Fibre-reinforced composites and ABS plastic made up the majority of the body panels, which improved corrosion resistance and reduced weight. The Scooty Pep, which was produced at the TVS Motor Company's plant in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, gained enormous popularity because of its low cost, simple maintenance, and user-friendly design. It also helped TVS solidify its dominance in the gearless scooter market.
