Introduction
United 100cc. Heard the name? Yeah, you probably did. Not a new face on the roads. It's everywhere. Mostly used by those who want one thing—Cost less and efficent. This one’s not flashy. It won’t turn heads. But it gets the job done.
This bike's been buzzing through the streets for years now. Students, delivery guys, even uncles on their way to work. You name it. They’ve probably ridden it. But is it really worth it? Or just another cheap ride? Let’s get real. Let’s ride.
First Impressions
It doesn’t try too hard. When you first look at it, it’s just simple. Small body. Straight seat. Kick-start. But there’s a sense of reliability. The design? Plain. Bit old-school. A mix of old Honda CD 100 vibes. Frame is light. Paint is usually shiny, but not premium.
Build quality? Hmm. Decent for the price. But don’t expect Yamaha-level finishing.
It’s offered in a couple of colours—mostly Red and Black. Red looks sharp. More eye-catching. Black gives it a silent, serious feel. There’s usually just one main variant. No digital dash. No self-start. No disc brakes. Just raw and mechanical.
Interior & Comfort
Let’s sit on it.
Seat is wide. Flat. Slightly hard. Long rides? You’ll feel it. But for daily 15-20 km, it’s bearable. Not bad for local commutes. Two adults can sit. Three? Well… that’s a stunt, not advice.
The handlebars are straight. Bit higher. Good for posture. You won’t bend much. Good for the back. Foot pegs are mid-mounted. No stress on knees. The switches? Basic. Indicators, horn, high/low beam. That’s it. No pass light. No kill switch. Simplicity at its peak.
Speedometer is analog. Shows speed and fuel only. No trip meter. No gear indicator.
Rear shocks are soft. Front feels a bit stiffer. On bumps? You'll feel it. But not like a jolt. Decent cushioning overall. Nothing wow. Nothing tragic.
Driving Experience Let’s kick it. One. Two. Vroom.
The engine comes alive with a little buzz. Not super quiet. Not harsh. Just there. It sounds like a working-class bike. You know? Something that’s tired, but still running strong.
This 100cc bike has a 4-stroke engine with an air-cooled. Which gives approximately 7.5 horsepower. That’s low. But hey, it’s enough.
First gear is short. Gets moving quick. Second is smoother. Third and fourth... kinda sluggish. Best speed? When speed is about 50-60 km/h or more, it vibrate is similar to that of a massage chair.
Clutch is soft. Gear shifts are mechanical. Sometimes clunky. But you’ll get used to it.
Cornering? Not great. But who leans a 100cc bike? It’s stable. Not sporty. Straight road? It runs fine. Hilly area? Hmm… struggle begins.
Brakes are drum. Front and rear. Decent. But in panic? Not that reliable. You gotta keep a distance.
Night ride? Halogen headlamp is weak. Use it only in well-lit roads or with full beam. Don’t expect LED brightness.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency
Here comes the strong point. Fuel average.
This bike sips fuel. Not drinks. You get around 50–55 km/l easily. Some say even 60+. Depends on your throttle hand.
Fuel tank is around 9 liters. Reserve around 1.5 L. That means once full, you can go around 400+ kilometers without worry. Impressive, right?
Maintenance is low cost. Filters, oil, cables—all cheap. Mechanics know this bike like family.
Features & Tech
Let’s be honest. There’s not much tech here.
No digital meter. No USB charger. No self-start. No ABS.
But maybe that’s the charm? Less electronics. Less problems.
Just a speedo. A fuel gauge. Indicator lights. And that’s it. Nothing extra to break.
Battery is 12V. Just for lights and horn. That’s all.
Kick-start only. Sometimes annoying in winter. But it teaches patience.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages:
Price-friendly. Very affordable. Ideal for students and low-budget users.
High mileage. Seriously good on fuel.
Low maintenance. Spare parts are everywhere. Cheap and available.
Simple design. Easy to fix, no complex systems.
Lightweight. Easy to maneuver in traffic.
Disadvantages:
Poor quality plastics. Side covers and panels feel cheap.
Weak brakes. Drum brakes lack modern safety.
Vibrations. Above 60 km/h, it rattles.
Old-school design. Not modern-looking. May feel outdated.
No features. No digital meter, self-start, or safety features.
Personal Opinion
Okay. Real talk.
I’ve ridden this bike for weeks. And yeah, it’s not exciting. It won’t give you goosebumps. It’s not smooth like Yamaha. Not stylish like Suzuki. But guess what? It does what it’s supposed to.
Takes you from A to B. Costs less. Runs more. Gives decent comfort. Doesn’t eat fuel. And doesn’t cry for maintenance.
But yeah... don’t expect long-distance joy rides or speed thrills. This is a commuter. A survivor.
For the price tag? Totally worth it. For students, delivery guys, office workers—this bike fits. Just don’t abuse it.
Would I buy it again? For basic needs, yes. But if I had more budget? I'd upgrade to something better.
