- The Zest is a far simpler scooter than the Jupiter 110. If you go for one of the first two variants, you won't even get a digital console. Only the top variant has that as well as Bluetooth connectivity.
With the Jupiter 110, though, TVS has gone its usual way by filling it to the brim with features. There's pretty much everything you can think of but the best thing still has to be the massive 33-litre boot.
Even the iGo technology on the Jupiter 110 is quite nice. The scooter will deliver that extra bit of power you need when you're trying to make a quick overtake.

- While The TVS Zest 110's might not seem powerful on paper, it's quite a spirited scooter to ride. The acceleration is brisk and thanks to its compact size, the Zest cuts through traffic with delightful ease.
TVS has made the Jupiter 110 quite a lot of fun too and even it quite enjoys being ridden hard. The Jupiter 110 too, will have you darting through traffic at a fun pace but its larger body means you've to plan your overtakes a bit more than you would on the Zest.
The major difference lies in highway riding. The Jupiter feels easy out there, but the Zest feels a bit nervous at those speeds.
Verdict
Choosing between the two depends on your preferences. The Jupiter is a proper family scooter that can seat two comfortably, has generous storage space, and is filled with features. That said, all of that comes with extra cost as compared to the Zest. It should be more appealing to those looking for a scooter for the whole family.
The Zest 110 is light, compact, and has a basic set of features. It's more of a youthful scooter, with a lower price. It might be more suitable for college students or those who have short urban commutes.
