History of the Mahindra Rodeo
The Rodeo was one of three scooters that Mahindra began producing in 2009. It was a 125 cc gearless power scooter, and Mahindra drew on outside help for it: technological and design input came from Taiwan’s SYM and from Italy’s Engines Engineering.
The scooter was fitted with telescopic front suspension, a tachometer and a digital console that included a trip meter, a clock and a USB socket for charging a mobile phone.
In June 2012 Mahindra two wheelers unveiled the Rodeo RZ, a new version with higher ground clearance, an advanced telescopic suspension and better fuel economy among other changes. In August 2014 the company added the Rodeo UZO to the range.
