TVS Jupiter 125

The TVS Jupiter 125 is the scooter for first-timers and anyone who wants a low seat: at 108 kg it's the easiest bike in our fleet to manage, rides on an A1 licence, and is the ideal confidence-builder for Turkey's side streets.

Its forgiving suspension shrugs off rough surfaces — Balat's cobblestones or Kadıköy's backstreets are no problem — and the front cubby, flat floor and bag hooks show a design built around daily errands.

Third-party insurance and a helmet are included; the deposit is €150. With its budget price and frugal engine, it's a favourite among long-term renters (monthly −20% applies automatically).
