Which electric scooter is best under ₹60,000? I need it for a daily commute of around 50 km. I can’t afford iQube or Chetak. Please suggest.

Currently, the only electric scooter from a reputed brand in your budget is Hero’s Vida VX2, but only if you choose the Battery as a Subscription (BaaS) option.

While the upfront cost will be in your budget, do factor in the monthly payments for your usage into your purchase.

Other than that, there aren’t any EVs we would recommend, as most alternatives are untested and unregulated Chinese-origin scooters, which aren’t a safe option in the long run.

I am buying my first new bike. My height is about 5′3″-5′4″, and my weight is 45 kg. My budget is ₹1.50 lakh. I plan to use the bike for at least 10 years, mostly on Tier-4 city roads. Please suggest a suitable bike that is comfortable for a single rider and a pillion.

Since you have mentioned you want a comfortable, long-lasting bike in a place where showrooms and service support aren't likely to be as advanced as in major cities, we'd recommend you go with the proven Honda Unicorn. The Unicorn has remained largely unchanged in the more than two decades it has been on sale, and procuring spare parts and common replacement parts should be an easy affair. The Unicorn also has a spacious single-piece seat that's not very tall and can easily accommodate two large people. So comfort should also be a non-issue. We'd recommend a test ride of the bike to see whether it fits you well before making a decision.

Should I buy the Royal Enfield Scrambler 400X now, or wait for a 350cc version to launch? If I wait, is there a possibility that cost cutting with a smaller engine might reduce the overall 400X experience? Please advise.

When Bajaj launches the downsized 350cc Triumph single-cylinder models, there are expected to be minimal or no changes to the chassis. Also, the feature-set and the quality of parts and materials used throughout. It is unlikely that Bajaj will reduce the quality of components used on the 350cc Triumphs, as they are aspirational and premium motorcycles from a fabled British brand. However, if you have your heart set on buying a Triumph Scrambler 400 X, we'd advise you to hurry. Because it has been reported that the 350cc Triumphs aren't a long way away, and this will be your only opportunity to own one.

Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to replace my 2012 Hero Honda CD Deluxe. My usage is strictly within the city, specifically a 28 km daily round trip for office and market chores. Interestingly, we already have two Hero Vida V1s at home (one Pro and one Plus). Since the V1 is quite feature-heavy, I don’t want to spend extra on premium features or performance for this new purchase. That’s why I have ruled out the Ather Rizta and TVS iQube. I am looking for a reliable, no-nonsense entry-level electric scooter. My current shortlists are: Hero Vida VX2 Go (3.4 kWh) TVS Orbiter Bajaj Chetak 2501 Since all of these offer the basic, essential features I need, which one would be the most practical choice for a daily city workhorse? Does sticking with the Vida ecosystem (VX2 Go) offer any real advantage, or should I consider the Orbiter or the all-metal Chetak 2501 instead?

Since you are intimately familiar with the Vida ownership experience, buying the Vida VX2 Go 3.4 will likely be your safest bet. This scooter also offers more range and performance than the TVS Orbiter and Bajaj Chetak C2501 models you have shortlisted. So, objectively speaking, you should stick with the Vida e-scooter.The Orbiter's USP is that it is one of the most spacious electric scooters around, while on the other end of the spectrum, you have the petite Bajaj Chetak C2501. Unless you have an unusually tall or shorter physique, we'd recommend sticking with the Vida. The only reason you should look at the others is if you want to change things up and switch to a different brand.
