I am 56 years old and planning to buy a cruiser bike for short weekend rides with my wife, covering around 20-25 km per week. Could you please advise which bike would be suitable for me? A friend has suggested the Bajaj Avenger Cruise. Since my usage is very limited, I am also considering whether it would be wiser to buy a used bike instead of a new one.

The Bajaj Avenger is a tried and tested product, and it still remains a good VFM cruiser in the entry-level class. However, if you are willing to stretch your budget a little more, modern and well-rounded offerings like TVS Ronin and the base Royal Enfield Bullet 350 will become available. These are comfortable and refined machines which will provide a more well-rounded riding experience than the Avenger.

Even though your usage is limited, buying a new bike makes sense if you intend to keep it for a longer time because it will come with the peace of mind of the manufacturer's warranty.

Take a test ride of these two before you decide.

Hi, I want to buy an EV under 15 lakh for 3500km monthly running.

With a budget of Rs 15 lakh and 3,500 km a month, you are a textbook case for an EV. At this budget, the Tata Nexon EV is the most sensible choice. It offers a good balance of range, practicality and value, and Tata’s EV ecosystem is now well established. The Nexon EV is also one of the few cars in this price bracket that can genuinely handle your kind of monthly running without range anxiety becoming a daily concern.If you can stretch your budget slightly, the Kia Syros EV is worth considering. It offers a more spacious cabin and a more premium overall experience, which makes a difference if you are spending long hours in the car every month.The key point here is that at 3,500 km a month, the fuel savings from an EV will add up very quickly, and both the Nexon EV and Syros EV are well suited to high-mileage ownership.

Even with a substantial discount, charging access and highway range would matter more to me. If home charging isn't convenient, EV makes no sense.

Poor charging infra and the hassle to charge on highways is a real pain. Also, if you cannot have a home charger, then it is expensive and a menace to charge at the outdoor stations
