Top Five Two wheelers for ladies in India 2018-19

Today women drive all sorts of vehicles, be it a truck, airplane, car or even two-wheeler, women can achieve and do everything that men can do. There are so many women biking clubs in the country today which inspire people across ages. That is not it, women also ride two-wheelers to work and for pleasure. So with changing times, the two-wheeler manufacturers also designed vehicle models that represent the spirit of womanhood.

In the past decade, after the launch of the iconic Honda Activa, two-wheeler manufacturers entered the market with fierce competition to match the level of performance and comfort that this very model provided. There has been a significant rise in the number of female riders who use two-wheelers to commute to college, work, long-rides, etc. Hence the market is also flooded with different models which makes it hard to choose from. Ladies majorly prefer mopeds over bikes, because of the convenience they offer. They have larger storage capacity, lower engine capacity, are easy to ride, provide great power and are lightweight.
