Suggest a good electric scooter for an elderly person with a maximum commute of 30 km, easy to ride and replace an old activa 3G. It has to be light, simple to use, and no nonsense.

•6w

Since your daily run isn't that high and you've said you want a no-nonsense scooter, the best option for you would be the TVS iQube 2.2. In our experience with it, the iQube consistently returned real-world range as what was indicated on the display, in its higher Power mode. Eco mode saw us extract 75km on a single charge, and unlike most EVs, the iQube's Eco mode is actually fairly usable. At 110kg, it is also only 5 kilos heavier than an Activa and will be easy to manage for most folks.

I am looking to buy an electric scooter. My daily commute is around 100-120 km. I am confused between the Ather Rizta and the TVS iQube ST. I need a comfortable and reliable scooter with good resale value.

•1d

Both the Ather Rizta and the TVS iQube ST are comfortable and reliable scooters, so either one would be a sensible choice. Considering your daily commute of 100-120 km, it is worth opting for the larger battery variants of both models.The Ather Rizta has more features and a larger, better-shaped boot that makes it easier to carry everyday items along with the portable charger. The TVS iQube ST, on the other hand, feels more conventional and is one of the easiest electric scooters to get used to, especially for riders switching from a petrol scooter.A test ride of both scooters should make the decision much easier. It is also worth considering the Bajaj Chetak, as it is another strong option in this segment.

My daily commute is around 70-100 km. Which electric two-wheeler would be the best choice for my requirements?

•3d

Since your daily run is quite long, the Bajaj Chetak C35 models, higher variants of the TVS iQube, Vida VX2 3.4/4.4, and the top Ather Rizta models will be EVs to consider. Take test rides of these EVs to see which one suits your riding style and then make your decision.

I'm looking for an electric scooter under Rs. 1 lakh (on-road) in Mysore as a secondary two-wheeler alongside my Honda CB350RS (e20 compliant). The EV will be mainly used by my wife for daily errands, and I will occasionally use it for my office commute, which is 3 km one way. Our maximum daily running will be around 12 km. Which one would you recommend?

•3d

The TVS Orbiter V2 will just about fit in your budget and is a good fit for your basic daily needs. If you can make the small stretch for it, go for the iQube 2.2, which will offer you a more appealing overall experience.

I want to buy the Honda Unicorn, as I travel 70 km daily. Earlier, I used an Activa, but it caused back pain. Can you guide me whether I should go for Honda Unicorn or something else?

•5d

The Honda Unicorn will make for a good upgrade over your Activa, given your daily 70km stint. Commuter motorcycles are some of the most comfortable and fuss-free machines you can buy today, especially so in the case of the Unicorn. If you want alternatives to the proven Honda, look at the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V for a sportier, more feature-rich experience without sacrificing comfort and usability. A test ride of all three will help determine which is the right one for you.

I would like to know if it is normal for a fully charged, unused Ather 450 X to lose 1-3 km of indicated range without being ridden.

•5d

Do not worry, it is completely normal to see a 1-3 km drop in the displayed range on your Ather 450 X after a full charge, even if the scooter has not been ridden. This is not a sign of battery degradation or a fault. What you are seeing is a combination of two things: battery self-discharge and the way the range estimator works. All lithium-ion batteries lose a tiny amount of charge when parked overnight or for a few days, even when the scooter has not been in use. More importantly, the range estimate is not a fixed number - it is a calculation based on the current state of charge and your recent riding patterns. Even a small change in battery percentage can cause the displayed range to drop by a few kilometres.

I'm planning to buy a two-wheeler for my father, preferably a scooter. My budget is around Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 1 lakh. It will be used mainly for city commuting, with a maximum daily running of 20-25 km. Should I go for an ICE scooter or an EV? Also, which model would you recommend?

•5d

Within your budget, there are only two EVs from reputed brands available, like the Vida (Hero) VX2 Go 2.2 and TVS Orbiter V2 (3.1kWh battery). These have enough range for a 25km daily loop and will surely help reduce your running costs to a great extent. If you have a secure charging location, then opting for an EV definitely makes sense. They have gentle but surefooted performance, and to decide between these two, take a test ride before you make your decision.If, however, you are not keen on making the switch to an EV, then sticking with proven options like Honda Activa 110, TVS Jupiter 110 and Suzuki Access 125 makes sense. The Activa and Jupiter are slightly more frugal than the Access, which consequently has zippier performance. All three are proven products, and you should go for the one you gel with the most on your test ride.
