I am planning to buy a new scooty and am looking for something lightweight with a low seat height. Which would be the best option in the 125cc segment? Please suggest.

•16m

If you want the lightest 125cc scooter, look no further than the Yamaha Fascino / RayZR models. Both weigh under 100 kilos and have low 780-785mm seat heights, making them very friendly and approachable. They also come from a reputed brand like Yamaha and should be hassle-free and affordable to own.

If you want to consider a product from a different brand, look no further than the hugely popular Suzuki Access. At 106-107kg, the Access is still very light and with its low 770mm perch, most people should be able to handle this scooter. The Access is also frugal yet has a peppy motor and in its latest gen it is quite hard to fault. In fact, the top 2 variants even come with ABS making it the only one of the mainstream 125cc Indian/Japanese options to offer this feature.

Take test rides between these proven products and make your decision based on whichever one you gel with more.

Please advise on the best lightweight scooter for a female rider.

One of the lightest ICE scooters in India is the TVS Zest 110, which weighs just 102kg and has just a 760mm seat height, attributes that should make it very approachable for those vertically challenged. Even popular options like the Honda Activa, Suzuki Access and TVS Jupiter are manageable in terms of weight, weighing between 105-106kg and low seat heights ranging between 760-780mm. These should also be easy to manage while being more feature rich than the Zest, which is now a fundamentally very old product.Since you're keen on getting a scooter that's easy to manage, take test rides of all four before you make your decision.

I am a field engineer, and my expected daily running is around 130-150 km. I also need to carry approximately 70 kg of materials on a regular basis. Considering my usage pattern, which electric scooter would be suitable for me?

With your lengthy daily run, you should look at the TVS iQube ST 5.3. Its large battery is the most suited to your use case especially since you also carry a heavy load with you every day. Expect the battery to drain out a little more quickly while carrying load than if you ride solo. You may have to find a charging point for a quick top-up somewhere in between but by and large if you're sensible with your throttle hand, you should be able to finish your daily run in a single charge. The iQube is a well-established scooter with proven, reliable underpinnings and a wide service reach across the nation so you are buying one of the safest EVs out there.

I am looking for an all-rounder motorcycle that can be used comfortably by both me and my father. He is 58 years old and 5'4" tall. Our requirements are a cruiser-like seating position, a seat height of around 780 mm, good ground clearance, comfortable ergonomics, good fuel efficiency, and a strong service network. Considering these requirements, which motorcycle would you recommend?

•4h

We'd recommend you and your father pick between the TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Both meet the criteria that you have listed above but offer markedly different riding experiences. The Hunter has a slow-revving, torque-rich, long-stroke motor with a lovely thump mated to an agile and responsive chassis that sounds like it shouldn't work but we (and lakhs of people who have bought one) think that it does.The Ronin's engine is similiar in character but feels relatively more sporty as does its handling. It is also a much lighter bike and has a lower perch, so for shorter riders, it will be easier to manage. Its oddball looks aren't to everyone's tastes and TVS' service doesn't have a stellar reputation either - two points to bear in mind from an owner's POV. Take test rides of both bikes to see which one resonates more with you before you make a decision.

Right now, we seem to be on the verge of a major green mobility revolution in the Indian automotive industry. The Government of India has announced and started making E85 petrol available at select fuel stations. However, if the recent Iran-US peace deal and stability in the Strait of Hormuz are sustained, crude oil prices could potentially fall back to pre-conflict levels. Given such a scenario, should a new car buyer opt for a flex-fuel vehicle, an EV, or a conventional petrol/diesel vehicle from their preferred brand?

•6d

A new car buyer should not make a purchase decision based on short-term fluctuations in crude oil prices or geopolitical events. Even if crude prices soften, vehicle ownership is typically a 7-10 year decision, while fuel prices can change dramatically several times during that period. The best approach is to buy based on your usage pattern, not on what fuel prices may do over the next few months.If your usage is predominantly city driving with access to home charging, an EV still makes a lot of sense because of its low running costs, smooth driving experience and lower maintenance requirements.If you cover high monthly mileages and spend a lot of time on highways, a diesel can still be a compelling option, particularly in larger SUVs.For most buyers, however, a regular petrol or hybrid remains the safest and most hassle-free choice today. Modern petrol engines are already compatible with current ethanol blends and there is no urgent need to wait for flex-fuel vehicles.As for flex-fuel cars, the technology is promising, but it still has a long way to go before it makes complete financial sense. The government will likely have to keep E85 priced significantly below regular petrol to offset the efficiency penalty. In our recent E85 versus E20 mileage test on a flex-fuel Suzuki Gixxer SF 250, fuel efficiency dropped from 38.1kpl on E20 to 28.8kpl on E85, a reduction of over 24 percent. Even though E85 was around Rs. 20 per litre cheaper, the lower efficiency meant the running cost per kilometer was actually higher on E85.

I have lower back pain and currently ride a Bullet 350 ES with gas-filled rear suspension and a well-padded touring seat. It is comfortable on long rides, but fuel efficiency with E20 fuel is a major issue. I also have to use additives or fill premium petrol; otherwise, power delivery becomes jerky. Putting XP100 improves efficiency substantially, but the price difference is significant, and availability is limited. I want to buy an additional scooter or a 100-150cc motorcycle that is very kind on my back. I recently read about the Destini 110 having superb plush suspension. What else would you suggest within a budget of under Rs. 1 lakh for around 150km of daily riding? The bike must have excellent suspension and ride quality.

Since your daily run is quite long and you value comfort and fuel efficiency over all else, we'd recommend you stick with a commuter motorcycle. In your budget, if you want a bike that's comfortable over bad roads, then the Bajaj Platina 110 is our recommendation. Its thickly padded seat, pliant suspension and neutral ergonomics will keep you comfortable for longer distances over all sorts of roads. The Platina's one big drawback is that it cannot be had with a disc brake, and its drums provide only adequate performance.In that vein, it would be prudent to look at the TVS Radeon. The Radeon has similar strong suits as the Platina, but it can be had with a front disc brake on its top variant, which is the one we'd recommend for reliable stopping power over a longer duration.Take test rides of both to see which one you resonate with more before you make your decision.

I have a 2009 Hero Honda Xtreme that has seen very little use. I am now planning to scrap it and buy something new. I am considering an EV, specifically either the Ather Rizta or the TVS iQube. Which one would you suggest? My daily travel would be around 20-25km. Even if I buy the 2.2kWh version, the range will reduce after a few years due to battery ageing. My main concern is battery longevity and warranty.

•6h

Both the Ather Rizta and TVS iQube are great options, and no matter which one you choose, you realistically cannot go wrong with them. The Rizta has much more tech, and even its small battery gives you 105km of real-world range on a single charge. Its boot is also better shaped than the iQube's, which means a good-quality imported full-face helmet will fit inside alongside the charger, provided you thoughtfully arrange everything inside.On the other hand, the TVS iQube is as simple as an electric scooter gets and is a no-nonsense machine which just keeps running without fault day in and day out. TVS's service reach across the country is better than Ather's, so the iQube makes for the logical purchase, but it's not like the Rizta is an outlier. Picking between the two will be made easier once you get a test ride of both and see which one you're leaning toward more.No matter which option you choose, your commute is short enough that a normal amount of range drop after a few years will not majorly affect you.
