This model was discontinued due to the huge success of its higher powered 4 speed, 150cc model, the Chetak. The Cub had a 100cc engine, and a smaller wheel diameter compared to the Chetak. The Chetak had better pick-up but a lower mileage of fuel.

It was priced at around INR 9500 approx. (190.550 US$) at the time of its release. In 1991 it costed 19000Rs. On road price Bangalore.
