Then there was the Kinetic K4, followed by the Hero Honda Street, which had centrifugal clutch and rotary gears.
Step through bikes are practical options and are a mix of a scooter and motorcycle. It is to be seen whether the TVS Rockz will be a successful vehicle. Read further to know more about the TVS Rockz.
