Hi. I own a 2016 Activa 3G that has run around 49,000 kms. Would like to move to an electric scooter. Since my running is around 12 to 15 kms on average in a day, mostly in city traffic, is it advisable to move to an electric 2-wheeler? Also, which will be a buying option for my kind of usage.

Since your daily run is quite short, one of the entry-level variants of the TVS iQube or Bajaj Chetak models would make perfect sense. The iQube 2.2 is a great, no-nonsense electric scooter that will have more than enough range for your daily needs, and it doesn't feel hamstrung by lower performance or a barebones features list. You could even look at the Chetak C3001 and C3501 models, which will offer you more range with similar performance. The Chetak is also one of the most spacious electric scooters around, so if you are particularly tall, it may be the one to go for over the iQube.

Take test rides of both and go for the one you lean towards more before making your decision.

I want to buy a scooty of 150+ cc, but with the finest suspension, as I travel with a female partner. I have a Yamaha Ray ZR, and it's really good, so I was thinking of going for the Aerox, but it's quite heavy. I need it for daily commute with a good mileage in the traffic of Bangalore with amazing brakes. Kindly suggest some.

The TVS Ntorq 150 checks all the boxes you're looking for and is also one of the most affordable 150cc scooters in India today. It has ride comfort very close to a family scooter, strong performance, which will keep you entertained, and it has good brakes with the safety net of single-channel ABS, too. In fact, when ridden sensibly, the Ntorq 150 even returns good fuel economy, and we'd recommend you go for this over the stiffly sprung and cramped Aerox.

I am planning to purchase a new Royal Enfield motorcycle, particularly the Hunter 350, which is E20 fuel compatible. However, I am concerned about future fuel policies in India regarding higher ethanol blends such as E85 and flex-fuel vehicles. Before making my purchase decision, I would like to know whether it is advisable to buy an E20-compatible motorcycle now or wait for a future Royal Enfield flex-fuel motorcycle. Could you please provide any information regarding Royal Enfield's plans for flex-fuel motorcycles and whether current E20-compatible models will remain suitable for future fuel availability?

•3h

For the short to mid-term, E20 will be the current baseline blend of petrol available on a nationwide scale. Speaking strictly about material compatibility, E20 machines should be able to handle up to E30 fuel with the fuel tank, rubber seals, gaskets and hoses all ready to support the higher blend. What will need recalibration is the ECU to handle the higher ethanol content in the fuel, which is something that will have to come from the manufacturer. There is currently no information on if/when Royal Enfield intends to introduce a flex fuel machine, so stick with the Hunter for your next purchase.

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?

•4d

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 very much impressed by the Norton Atlas adv. Should I wait for it, or is there any other similar adv, right now, close to it in specs but better? Also, I want only an adv. Highway touring is a priority, and the budget is 7L.

•4d

The only real peer to the Norton Atlas available currently is the Kawasaki Versys 650, which comfortably blows past your Rs 7 lakh budget, limiting your choice to waiting for the Atlas. The new Norton ADV looks very impressive on paper, but we'd recommend you take the sensible and patient route and wait for some time after the bike is launched before purchasing it, so any teething issues that do arise can be ironed out by the time you are an owner.

I need a bike for daily commuting as well as adventure riding. My budget is Rs. 4 lakh.

•1d

Given your requirements, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X/XC is likely to be the best fit. Its upright and commanding riding position, smooth and tractable engine, and capable handling make it a true all-rounder, and it comfortably fits within your budget.If you want the look of an adventure bike or wish for more suspension travel, then options like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure should be on your shortlist. These bikes are better at highway duties than the Scrambler (not by much, but it is a tangible difference), although they are also heavier than it.It also depends on what your usage pattern is like. If highway touring isn't playing a big role in your riding right now, and you are serious about getting into off-roading, then something lighter and friendlier like the Hero Xpulse 210 and Kawasaki KLX230/KLX230 S is the way to go.First, decide what you're going to be using your bike for and depending on that, take a test ride of the options specified above before you make your decision.

I need to buy a bike for fuel-efficient daily rides of approximately 40 km. My maximum budget is 3 lakhs. Please suggest.

•4d

Since you have the budget that permits you to venture into the 300-400cc category if you so wish, you can look at the Royal Enfield Hunter / Classic / Bullet 350, any of the Honda CB350 models and even the 350cc Triumph 400 models like the Speed T4 and Speed 400. These bikes are premium machines with larger engines than normal commuters, which means fuel economy will range between 30-40kpl most likely, although mileage can vary quite widely depending on multiple factors. If you want to prioritise fuel economy and instead settle for something more frugal, like a 160cc commuter will be our recommendation. Options like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Honda Unicorn / SP160 are our picks in this class. The Apache and Pulsar are more powerful and feature-rich machines, while the Unicorn and SP160 are straightforward, no-nonsense commuters. Make sure to decide which segment you want to shop in and then take a test ride of all the options in that class before you make your decision.
