When is the Ola Roadster Pro expected to launch? Should I wait for it, or should I go ahead with the Roadster X+? I want an electric motorcycle that looks substantial, offers good range, and is not priced like a car. I am not interested in the overpriced Ultraviolette bikes.

There is no clarity on when the Ola Roadster Pro will launch. Based on our poor experience with the regular Ola Roadster X+ 4.5 in our road test review, we would not recommend Ola products. Some of Ultraviolette's e-bikes are expensive but the recently launched base version of the Ultraviolette X-47 is reasonably priced at 2.50 lakh ex-showroom and warrants your consideration. 

However, if you do not want to consider Ultraviolette bikes, there are very few other proven and impressive electric motorcycles we can recommend at this point. Hero MotoCorp is likely to launch the Vida Ubex and VXZ electric motorcycles either by this year end or in 2027 and those bikes should be worth waiting for.

Which is the better buy: a second-hand first-generation KTM 390 Duke from 2015 for Rs 1.3 lakh, or a new Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z for Rs 2.4 lakh?

This is a very valid question, but in our opinion it deserves a closer look at both motorcycles. The used Gen 1 KTM 390 Duke is a raw, unadulterated pocket rocket, but considering it is nearly 12 years old, you will surely have to spend much more on maintenance and perhaps replace worn-out parts, which will not only be expensive but also time-consuming, as some spares for older discontinued KTMs have started to get a little difficult to obtain.The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, on the other hand, will be a brand new bike with a warranty, compatible with E20 fuel and a far more relaxed ownership experience. It is also a genuinely quick and capable motorcycle in its own right, and while it may not have the same raw edge as the old 390 Duke, it is a far more sensible long-term purchase.This is sort of a head vs heart situation, and if you have more than one bike in your garage, then sure, go for the KTM, but if this is to be your sole mode of transport or only two-wheeler, the Bajaj bike is the more logical purchase.

About a year back, Autocar compared the Triumph T4 and the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Now the price difference is around Rs 40,000 (Hunter mid variant at Rs 1.7 lakh vs Triumph T4 at Rs 2.1 lakh ex-showroom in Bhopal, MP, as of July 2026). Is the T4 still the better overall bike in August 2026?

Despite what has transpired since we compared the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 to the Triumph Speed T4 (then using a 398cc engine, now using a 349cc engine), the verdict doesn't really change. The T4 remains the more capable machine from the more premium brand, and even though the price delta between the two has widened, we still believe the T4 remains the superior product.However, if you are looking for a modern retro motorcycle on a strict budget, the Royal Enfield bike is still a very strong option.

I am seeking a versatile bike suitable for city commuting, highway travel, and challenging roads, including off-road conditions. My primary concern is the comfort of both me and my mother, who will be the primary passenger. I am 6 ft tall, my budget is 2 lacs, and I expect a minimum of 30 kmpl. I have considered the Triumph Scrambler 400X, but the pillion seat height is a concern. I am now considering the Speed 400 and CB350. I do not favour RE or KTM bikes. Please provide your suggestions. Regards.

A word of caution first: none of the bikes you have shortlisted will fit within your budget; you will have to extend it significantly to accommodate them. Also, for your needs, the Hero Xpulse 210 seems the better fit overall. It can easily tackle broken roads and off-road conditions while maintaining good composure when riding on tarmac. Yes, this Hero Motocorp bike will have a taller pillion seat, but with a bit of practice and after a brief acclimatization period, it should likely be a non-issue for your pillion. Take a test ride of the Xpulse and then go ahead with your purchase.

Hello, I'm planning to buy a scooter. Can you suggest the best petrol and electric scooter options with a stylish design, high mileage, and excellent suspension? Also, where should I buy it? I live in a district in Telangana. Should I buy it from Hyderabad or from my local area to get a better price?

In the petrol scooter space, the frontrunners are Honda Activa 110/125, TVS Jupiter 110/125 and Suzuki Access 125. All three are proven, comfortable, fuel-efficient and very practical, so whichever one you choose, you can't realistically go wrong. In the Electric scooter space, our top recommendations are TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Vida VX2 and Ather Rizta models. Again, these are proven and reliable machines from top-tier brands with good service reach across India, so pick the variant that suits your needs best. It would be prudent to wait a couple of months for the upcoming EL platform-based family electric scooter, which will give you the slick experience Ather scooters are known for but at a more digestible price. If you have secure charging at home, then an EV will help you save on your running costs greatly compared to an ICE scooter. Depending on your preference of powertrain, we'd recommend a test ride of the options recommended before you go ahead with your purchase to see which one suits your needs best.

Can I tour all over India on the Yamaha XSR 155 as a solo rider with light luggage, or would there be a better option? I'm 56 years old, but I'm fit enough to comfortably ride around 250 km in a day.

With enough planning and determination, touring across India on the Yamaha XSR155 is certainly possible. The XSR155 is a reliable, lightweight and fuel-efficient motorcycle, but comfort isn't its strongest suit, something you will notice more often, especially over longer distances.If the plan involves spending long days in the saddle, an aftermarket seat for better comfort and a small windscreen to reduce windblast are worthwhile upgrades.Kudos to you for considering such a venture, and we wish you all the very best!

I'm planning to buy my first premium motorcycle and have a budget of around Rs. 3.1 lakh on-road. After a lot of research and multiple test rides, I've narrowed my options down to the Triumph Tracker 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. I'm looking for advice from owners or experienced riders who have spent time with either or both bikes. I've been riding motorcycles for around 7-8 years and this bike will be my primary motorcycle for at least the next 4-5 years. My usage will be approximately 70-80% city commuting to office and 20-30% rides during weekend with occasional long-distance trips of more than 250 km every 2-3 months. I will almost always have a pillion with me, so pillion comfort, suspension, and overall ride quality are very important factors. I enjoy riding but I'm not someone who rides aggressively all the time. I appreciate a refined, confidence-inspiring motorcycle that is also enjoyable on open highways. I'll be paying the full amount in cash so I'm looking for the best overall ownership experience rather than simply the cheapest option. During my test rides, the Tracker 400 felt lighter, more road-focused, and easier to ride in the city. It had a cowl so didn't get to check it with the pillion. The Scrambler 400 X engine felt somewhat the same but just a little toned down and not as aggresive as the Tracker given the higher power produced and better suspension. However, the braking was not as expected. My main concerns are related to finding more suitable bike for someone who rides mostly in the city but enjoys weekend touring. Which bike is more comfortable for both rider and pillion on longer rides? Does the Scrambler's taller suspension and larger front wheel become a disadvantage in daily city riding? Is the Tracker significantly easier to live with in traffic? Considering the fact that I'll own the bike for 4-5 years, which one offers the better overall ownership experience? I'd really appreciate insights from owners, especially those who have ridden both motorcycles or regularly ride with a pillion. Thanks in advance!

For your usage, where you regularly ride with a pillion both usually inside the city and occassionally on the highway, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X is the better option than its sibling, the Tracker. The Scrambler has a far more upright and commanding rider's triangle, is more spacious for both rider and pillion and its suspension comfort is also much better than the Tracker. Coming to the braking issue on the Scrambler, Triumph (not Bajaj) insists on equipping the bike with organic brake pads which don't have the same life or power as sintered units but its an easy fix. You can fit the sintered pads from any other 350cc Triumph onto the Scrambler and this will be an inexpensive and easy fix to your problem.
