I am planning to buy an electric scooter. Among the Hero Vida VX, Ather Rizta, and TVS iQube with similar 3.2 kWh battery packs, which one is the best overall and offers the best value for money?

•30s

Purely from a VFM standpoint, the Vida VX2 will have the Ather Rizta and TVS iQube beat because Hero has priced its EVs very well, especially if bought via the BaaS (Battery as a Subscription) model. However, price is just one part of the equation and to properly gauge between these three which would be the best fit for you, we'd recommend a thorough test ride to evaluate comfort, practicality, storage space, performance and whether the feature-set is to your liking or not.

I am looking to buy an electric scooter. My daily commute is around 100-120 km. I am confused between the Ather Rizta and the TVS iQube ST. I need a comfortable and reliable scooter with good resale value.

Both the Ather Rizta and the TVS iQube ST are comfortable and reliable scooters, so either one would be a sensible choice. Considering your daily commute of 100-120 km, it is worth opting for the larger battery variants of both models.The Ather Rizta has more features and a larger, better-shaped boot that makes it easier to carry everyday items along with the portable charger. The TVS iQube ST, on the other hand, feels more conventional and is one of the easiest electric scooters to get used to, especially for riders switching from a petrol scooter.A test ride of both scooters should make the decision much easier. It is also worth considering the Bajaj Chetak, as it is another strong option in this segment.

My daily commute is around 70-100 km. Which electric two-wheeler would be the best choice for my requirements?

•5d

Since your daily run is quite long, the Bajaj Chetak C35 models, higher variants of the TVS iQube, Vida VX2 3.4/4.4, and the top Ather Rizta models will be EVs to consider. Take test rides of these EVs to see which one suits your riding style and then make your decision.

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?

•5d

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 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.

•6d

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.

Hi, I would like your suggestion on a good bike for my needs. I am 40 years old, 5'9" tall, weigh 115 kg, and have a family. My daily commute is 72 km. The road conditions are around 6 out of 10, considering potholes and speed breakers. Traffic is above average; if I were to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the least and 10 is the highest, I would rate it 7. I am open to both ICE and electric bikes. I would also prefer a bike that offers good fuel efficiency.

Given your long daily run with lots of traffic and bad roads, a simple commuter would be the best fit for your usage. In the 125cc segment, look at options like the TVS Raider, Honda Shine / SP125 and Hero Super Splendor/Xtreme, depending on your design preferences.In the 160cc class, options like Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are our top picks. Depending on your budget and fuel economy requirements, pick between the class of bikes that best suit your needs.

After owning and loving my Yamaha MT-15 for the past 7 years, I'm finally looking for my next motorcycle, one I'll hopefully keep for the next 10+ years. I've test-ridden the new Duke, Speed 400, and Triumph Tracker 400. Duke: Absolutely loved its chassis, handling, braking, and confidence, but the aggressive styling and character aren't really my taste. Speed 400: Silky smooth, refined, and comfortable, but it didn't excite me enough. Tracker 400: My favourite among the Triumphs. I loved how naturally it leaned with my body and how confidently it absorbed bad roads. I just wished it had a bit more power and an even smoother drivetrain. These rides made me realise I'm looking for an enthusiast motorcycle, not just a comfortable commuter. Budget: Less than Rs 5 lakh (slightly stretchable). Could you please suggest the best bike to upgrade to for me?

Since you found the KTM 39O Duke too aggressive and the 350cc Triumph Speed / Tracker models a little bland, a good alternative to these is the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. The engine of this Royal Enfield bike has a potent mid-range, its handling is quite engaging, and the ownership experience is likely to be pleasant as well.Take a test ride and see if you gel with the Guerrilla.
