I'm looking for an electric scooter under Rs. 1 lakh (on-road) in Mysore as a secondary two-wheeler alongside my Honda CB350RS (e20 compliant). The EV will be mainly used by my wife for daily errands, and I will occasionally use it for my office commute, which is 3 km one way. Our maximum daily running will be around 12 km. Which one would you recommend?

The TVS Orbiter V2 will just about fit in your budget and is a good fit for your basic daily needs. If you can make the small stretch for it, go for the iQube 2.2, which will offer you a more appealing overall experience.

I'm planning to buy a two-wheeler for my father, preferably a scooter. My budget is around Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 1 lakh. It will be used mainly for city commuting, with a maximum daily running of 20-25 km. Should I go for an ICE scooter or an EV? Also, which model would you recommend?

•2d

Within your budget, there are only two EVs from reputed brands available, like the Vida (Hero) VX2 Go 2.2 and TVS Orbiter V2 (3.1kWh battery). These have enough range for a 25km daily loop and will surely help reduce your running costs to a great extent. If you have a secure charging location, then opting for an EV definitely makes sense. They have gentle but surefooted performance, and to decide between these two, take a test ride before you make your decision.If, however, you are not keen on making the switch to an EV, then sticking with proven options like Honda Activa 110, TVS Jupiter 110 and Suzuki Access 125 makes sense. The Activa and Jupiter are slightly more frugal than the Access, which consequently has zippier performance. All three are proven products, and you should go for the one you gel with the most on your test ride.

I am looking for an electric scooter for 500km monthly running.

Given your approximately 18-20km daily run, even a scooter with a small battery pack will suffice. The TVS iQube 2.2 has impressed us in our time with it because even though it might be the entry-level variant, it doesn't deliver an 'entry level' experience. It has more than sufficient range and performance, a spacious boot, plush suspension, a front disc brake (that ensure reliable stopping power in all conditions) and even a pretty quick 650W charger. Take a test ride of the iQube 2.2 and if it fits you well, go ahead with your purchase.

I am planning to buy an electric scooter. I live in a rural area of Mangalore. Range is not a high priority for me, as I will be using it only for short trips, 3-4 days a week. I am looking for a well-built, reliable, and comfortable scooter. I have shortlisted the TVS iQube and the TVS Orbiter. Which one would you recommend? Are there any other electric scooters that I should consider?

•20h

Since you've said range is not a super important consideration for you, we'd recommend going with the TVS iQube 2.2. The base iQube offers you a very polished riding experience with zippy performance, good comfort, quick charging times and even has a front disc brake for reliable stopping power. Its 30L underseat storage area is also quite spacious, and overall, the iQube 2.2 will make for a good companion during your short stints aboard it.

I would like to know if it is normal for a fully charged, unused Ather 450 X to lose 1-3 km of indicated range without being ridden.

•1d

Do not worry, it is completely normal to see a 1-3 km drop in the displayed range on your Ather 450 X after a full charge, even if the scooter has not been ridden. This is not a sign of battery degradation or a fault. What you are seeing is a combination of two things: battery self-discharge and the way the range estimator works. All lithium-ion batteries lose a tiny amount of charge when parked overnight or for a few days, even when the scooter has not been in use. More importantly, the range estimate is not a fixed number - it is a calculation based on the current state of charge and your recent riding patterns. Even a small change in battery percentage can cause the displayed range to drop by a few kilometres.

I want to buy the Honda Unicorn, as I travel 70 km daily. Earlier, I used an Activa, but it caused back pain. Can you guide me whether I should go for Honda Unicorn or something else?

•1d

The Honda Unicorn will make for a good upgrade over your Activa, given your daily 70km stint. Commuter motorcycles are some of the most comfortable and fuss-free machines you can buy today, especially so in the case of the Unicorn. If you want alternatives to the proven Honda, look at the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V for a sportier, more feature-rich experience without sacrificing comfort and usability. A test ride of all three will help determine which is the right one for you.

I have been using the Hero Passion Pro for the last 12 years, and I now think it is time to upgrade. My budget is up to Rs. 2.5 lakh. I live in Pune, and around 80% of my usage is city riding, with a 250 km long ride every alternate weekend. I hope you can suggest a good option.

•1d

Since you predominantly use your bike inside Pune city, choosing a machine with good comfort would be wise. Neo-retro machines like the Honda CB350 trio, Royal Enfield Hunter / Classic / Bullet 350 and TVS Ronin would fit the bill well and offer you a great step up from your Passion Pro too. If instead you want something off-road oriented, then the Hero Xpulse 210 and TVS Apache RTX 300 will make sense. Take a test ride of these very different bikes before you make your decision.
