I want to sell my 12-year-old Vespa 125 cc scooter used by my father, and buy a new one that is user-friendly and easy to handle for senior citizens and ladies. I have shortlisted the Vespa 125/150, Chetak, TVS Ntorq, and Suzuki Access. My budget is ₹1.3-1.4 lakh.

Since you have specified that senior citizens and ladies will be riding the scooter, our recommendations will be the Suzuki Access and TVS Jupiter models. These are lightweight, manageable and trouble-free machines which are very easy and friendly to ride. These attributes mean that they will serve your use case quite well. Another plus point is that both the Access and Jupiter are easy to maintain and return good fuel economy, too.

Take a test ride of both before making a decision to see which one suits you best.

Access is a better choice, Jupiter feels little less refined and plasticky. Ather Rizta is also a great choice if you are looking in the EV range.

I am planning to buy a scooter for my daughter for her short daily trips to tuition classes, which would be around 15-20 km per day. My priorities are low seat height, good balance, and a reliable machine. I am considering buying a second-hand scooter like the Suzuki Access 125 or TVS Jupiter for around ₹50,000. Do you think this would be a good decision, or should I instead consider buying an electric scooter, which would cost ₹1 lakh or more? Some friends suggested buying an assembled electric scooter, but I am not comfortable with that option due to concerns about safety and reliability. What would be the best option in my situation?

Since your daily running is quite low, you should look at a petrol scooter - preferably brand new, for the peace of mind and the manufacturer's warranty it will come with. We'd recommend looking at the base variants of the Honda Activa 110, Suzuki Acess and TVS Jupiter 110. All scooters will be friendly for a newer rider because of their low kerb weights and approachable seat heights. If, however, your budget doesn't permit you to go for a new scooter, then a pre-owned Activa or Access would be our recommendation. The Activa and Access are some of the most popular scooters available, and finding a good example will be fairly straightforward. Because of their popularity and widespread service network, sourcing replacement parts should also be quite easy.

I am looking to buy the most comfortable scooter, preferably with the best suspension setup. My daily usage is around 10 km, and I am not very concerned about high power or top-class fuel efficiency. My budget is up to ₹2 lakh. Could you suggest the most comfortable scooter in this price range?

If you are looking for the best comfort on a petrol scooter, the TVS Jupiter 110 and Suzuki Access are the best options. The Jupiter has 12-inch wheels at both ends, which will also help round off bigger bumps more nicely. It's also got a winged preload adjuster, which will easily help you adjust preload when carrying a passenger and luggage. If you are looking for something in the EV space, then you should look at the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Vida VX2 Plus and Ather Rizta. These scooters have spacious riding positions, comfortable suspension setups and come from reputed manufacturers with widespread and proven service networks. Take a test ride of these scooters before you decide.

I have been using a Royal Enfield 350cc BS6 model and now want to buy another two-wheeler, mainly for office commuting and household errands. I am currently 55 years old and am considering scooters like the TVS Jupiter, Honda Activa, or Suzuki Access. However, I am slightly concerned about the stability of these scooters because they have relatively small wheels, which I have heard may make them more prone to skidding during sudden braking or when hitting potholes. What would you recommend in this situation?

In the family scooter space, the TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access and Honda Activa models are options that are hard to go wrong with. All are proven models with great service coverage and a reputation for being reliable, fuel-efficient and easy to maintain. While it is true that scootersare more prone to skidding than motorcycles due to their smaller wheels. It also varies from rider to rider and also upon the road conditions. If you are worried about this specific problem, Suzuki now sells the Access with ABS on its top two variants, which should address that qualm. However, if you prefer the stability and comfort of a motorcycle but want to downsize to something more approachable and urban area-friendly than your 350cc Royal Enfield. We'd recommend you look at the lineup of 125cc commuters from TVS, Hero and Honda before making your decision.
