Hi, I want to buy an electric scooter for my 75-year-old father. It should be lightweight and suitable for local use only.

Try the new Bajaj Chetak C25 and see if it fits your needs. It's light, has enough poke for short distances and is very affordable to buy and maintain.

Another option is the TVS Orbiter V1, which will have lower range but slightly more performance. This TVS scooter has a larger boot and feels more stable and grown up in the way it handles, compared to the diminutive Bajaj Chetak.

A test ride of both will help you understand which of these Electric scooters is a good fit for your father.

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable and durable electric scooter for city commuting. My daily running is around 50 km, occasionally increasing to 70 km on busier days. I have rooftop solar installed at home and will charge the scooter exclusively there, so access to public fast-charging networks isn’t a priority. I’m also not particularly interested in touchscreen gimmicks or connected-tech features. My top priorities are solid build quality, long-term durability, hassle-free after-sales support, and a proven, reliable battery and BMS setup with minimal degradation over time. My budget is around Rs 1.5 lakh. I currently own an Activa and am planning to replace it. Which electric scooters would you recommend for my requirements?

Given your requirements, the TVS iQube 3.5 and Bajaj Chetak 3502 models seem like the best fit. Both are straightforward, hassle-free, and proven machines with more than enough range for your long daily run. These are two of India's bestselling electric bikes, and no matter which one you choose, realistically, you can't go wrong with either. Take a test ride of both and see which one you prefer before you make your decision.

I’m planning to buy a motorcycle for the first time. Please suggest a suitable option based on my requirements. My main priorities are safety and comfort. I’ll mostly ride in villages and cities, with occasional highway rides. I’m 5'4" tall and weigh 45 kg. My budget is around Rs 1.5 lakh. I would also prefer a bike with a single-seat setup, as I’ll be carrying my parents as pillion riders.

Given your requirements, commuter bikes like the Honda Unicorn, Bajaj Pulsar 150, and Yamaha FZ would be our recommendation. These have low and flat single-piece seats, good suspension comfort, and will also be quite fuel-efficient. Take a test ride of all three before you make your decision.

I’m 20 years old and looking to buy my first bike for everyday college use. I’m considering the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and feel it could be an ideal choice. However, I’ve heard that riding it regularly in the city can cause wrist and back pain. Is the Continental GT 650 suitable for daily city riding, or should I consider another bike?

The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is a cafe racer with low clip-on handlebars and rearset footpegs, placing you in a committed riding position. Therefore, given that you will only go to college on it (likely an intra-city commute), you will be at slower speeds, wading through staccato traffic. This is a situation where you will put more pressure on your wrists, and if the roads in your area aren't smooth, over bumps, you will also feel a jerk go up to your spine. All this to say, no, this Royal Enfield bike is not a comfortable machine, but it does bring a lot of cool factor to the table.If you want a similar riding experience without the discomfort, then the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 should fit the bill because both it and the 'Conti' are identical save for different ergonomics and slightly different fuel tank capacities.
