Why is the ADAV 160 a flex-fuel scooter? The main reason behind the popularity of this scooter is its fuel compatibility. This Honda scooter is capable of running on ethanol-blended petrol up to E85. E85 contains 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. According to Honda, this is the first scooter in India to support E85 fuel, which differentiates it from conventional petrol scooters. As the availability of ethanol increases across India, consumers will have another great option. Besides, it makes managing the fuel system easier with the help of fuel injection. This model also has a liquid-cooled engine, which keeps the engine temperature right during regular riding.

Design and attractive look

Honda ADAV 160 is attracting the attention of customers due to its bold and strong looks. Its strong road presence is largely due to its wide front section, sharp body panels and tall stance. Twin LED headlamps add a modern touch, while the tall windscreen gives the scooter an adventurous look. The scooter is available in four attractive colors – Athletic Blue Metallic, Pearl Deep Ground Grey, Matte Dune Brown and Matte Axis Gray Metallic. It features 14-inch front and 13-inch rear wheels, which help balance the scooter on rough roads or at high speeds. Also, the under-seat storage space of 27 liters is sufficient for daily essentials and accessories.
