Until recently, Bluetooth connectivity was a tech that featured only on large-capacity and expensive motorcycles. Now manufacturers are stepping up and offering it on most of their popular and affordable offerings. The most recent two-wheeler to get Bluetooth connectivity is the TVS Jupiter Grande Edition. There are quite a few Bluetooth-equipped two-wheelers you can buy today for under Rs 1 lakh and here are the top 5.
1. TVS Jupiter Grande Edition (Rs 59,900):
The Jupiter is one feature-packed scooter and becomes even more feature-rich with the addition of Bluetooth. The setup allows you to receive calls and text notification on the semi-digital instrument console.

It connects to your smartphone via the Vespa Connectivity app. The app has features like ‘Find me’ which remotely activates your scooter’s turn indicators, making it easy to locate in a crowded parking lot. Then there is ‘Follow me’ which remotely switches on the scooter’s headlamp to light up your way home. Then there is navigation, vehicle info and list of close showrooms and petrol pumps which can be accessed via the app.
