I’m looking for a scooter for my daily commute of about 75km, which includes village roads and highways. I’m 6 feet tall, so I need a comfortable scooter that also offers good mileage.

In the petrol scooter category, our top picks are the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Suzuki Access 125 (in their respective segments) for their blend of comfort, practicality, and fuel efficiency.

You can also consider the Honda Activa 125, TVS Jupiter 125, and Hero Destini 125. All are comfortable and frugal options.

Hi Team, I am a big fan of Autocar India. I watch your YouTube videos every day. Your videos really give deep insights related to cars and bikes. Currently, I am riding a 2013 Honda Activa. I am a 31-year-old male, and my wife is 28. We are looking for a family scooter for city usage. Our primary concern is the most comfortable scooter for both rider and pillion because my wife suffers from back pain. Safety features are our second priority. Our budget is up to ₹2 lakh on-road in Pune. Please suggest some good, comfortable, and safe scooters for mainly city use.

If you are looking for comfort and safety, the Suzuki Access should be at the top of your shopping list, because it has two variants with single-channel ABS. In our experience, the Access is also one of the most comfortable and practical scooters and should be a good step up from your Activa.However, if you want something faster that doesn't sacrifice comfort or practicality too much, you can take a look at the TVS Ntorq 150. The bigger Ntorq is a very zippy machine - although it will sip fuel quite quickly if you're too throttle-happy - and is also reasonably comfortable for two-up riding on a daily basis.A test ride of these two with your preferred pillion will help you decide which is best for you.

I am 35 years old, a swimmer with an athletic build, 6 feet tall, and weigh 70 kg. I live in Ahmedabad, a city with poor road conditions, heavy traffic, and unpredictable road behavior. Hard braking and quick manoeuvring are often necessary due to potholes, slippery roads, and sudden pedestrian or vehicle movements. I tried the Pulsar NS125, but with a heavy pillion rider (90 kg+), I found it difficult to manoeuvre in tight traffic. The bike felt heavy, braking was harder to manage, and I experienced back pain after riding with a heavy pillion. Under the same conditions, I do not face any back pain when riding the Honda Twister with a similar pillion. Please suggest a new or used bike within a budget of ₹1.8 lakh that is suitable for city use, has a sporty look, offers comfortable seating, and is easy to manoeuvre without causing back pain, even with a pillion rider. Should I wait for the Kawasaki Ninja 125 launch? I am also considering a used Kawasaki Ninja 300 for the next two years—will it be comfortable for city riding, and will its seating position help avoid back pain while handling traffic with a heavy pillion rider?

Within your budget, you will get very old examples of the Kawasaki Ninja 300, which will likely not be in good shape after all these years. We'd recommend you go for a new bike for the peace of mind that comes with it and the warranty coverage that comes with it. Since you have mentioned you want something sporty, we'd recommend the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. Both have energetic engines, good handling and will also be comfortable for day-to-day use with their upright ergonomics. Both are also reasonably comfortable bikes to carry pillion with, although larger people will be pressed for space. A test ride of these two should help you decide which is best for you.

I would like to buy a new scooter - petrol or electric - but I require good suspension, comfortable seating, and ergonomic driving. My budget is a maximum of ₹1 lakh on the road. Please suggest a good option.

In the petrol scooter space, our top recommendations will be the TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and the Suzuki Access. These scooters have good seating and suspension comfort, are quite fuel efficient and will be easy to own and maintain as well. The only two electric scooters which we'd recommend under the Rs 1 lakh mark are the new Bajaj Chetak C2501 and the TVS Orbiter. Do bear in mind that the Chetak is quite a small scooter, so if you're a taller person or ride two-up frequently, this could be something to watch out for. The Orbiter is a nicely spacious machine, but it prioritises range over performance, so its acceleration is quite dull. A test ride of these machines will help you narrow down which machine is best for you.
