Keeway, a Chinese-owned European scooter and cruiser maker, has launched two new mid-displacement scooter models for the Indian market. Both the Sixties 300i and the Vieste 300 aim to break into the popular scooter market, which is now dominated by maxi-scooters with touring-ready features and retro-style scoots like the Vespa GTS.
The Keeway Sixties 300i is the company's most powerful retro-themed scooter. It has a stylish, vintage look with unique stylistic aspects, and it's evident that Keeway aims to shake up the retro-style mid-displacement scooter market. However, a selling price of Rs 299,000 (about $3,855 USD) for what is essentially a scooter is pretty high, especially in the utility-driven Indian market. Despite this, it is propelled by a 278.2cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 19 horsepower.
