Asked by: Shekhar Kumar I am a 47-year-old male (5 ft 9 in, 85 kg) looking to buy a long-term, reliable, strong and powerful scooter. My daily city commute is about 15-20 km, and my budget is up to ₹1.5 lakh. I am currently considering the TVS Ntorq 150, TVS Jupiter 125, Suzuki Access 125 and Honda Activa 125. Are there any other scooters I should consider? Please advise. The TVS Ntorq 150 is the most powerful scooter in your shortlist, and it will also be the most fun to ride. It is also the most feature-packed, with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes and a host of other features. The TVS Jupiter 125 is a more practical option, with plush ride quality and a huge 33-litre underseat storage space. The Suzuki Access 125 is a family scooter with peppy performance that should be very reliable and fuel-efficient, too. The Honda Activa 125 doesn't have any one standout feature, but is a proven package you can't really go wrong with.Take a test ride of all four so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.

Asked by: HARJYOT SINGH Hello Autocar India. I have been using a Honda Activa 6G since 2002 and want to replace it with either a TVS Jupiter 113 or a Suzuki Access 125. I have been riding Honda scooters since 2006. Which scooter is a better replacement for me? Both the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Suzuki Access 125 are good options to consider. The Jupiter is a more modern scooter and offers far more features than anything in its class. Also, it's very practical thanks to its huge 33-litre underseat storage area. The Access has all the strengths of a traditional family scooter, but it has peppy performance that will put a smile on your face during daily errands. You can also take a look at the Honda Activa 125 since you are familiar with the Honda ownership experience. The bigger Activa is a smooth, comfortable, practical and fuel-efficient scooter which will also be reliable and easy to live with. We suggest you take a test ride of all three scooters to see which one you find more comfortable.

Asked by: Shubham Raj I have a Honda Aviator since 2013. I want to upgrade to a maxi scooter, currently eyeing Yamaha Aerox S. However, I dont want that I buy the Aerox and Honda launches the Forza 350 or Adv 350. I can wait for a year. Is Honda 2 wheelers planning to launch a Maxi Scooter in 2026? Currently, Honda has not announced any plans to launch a maxi-scooter in 2026 and given the niche market demand it would garner owing to their high price, this also seems like a remote possibility. Coming to the Aerox, it is a great option if you want a fun scooter. However, it can feel cramped for taller riders, and its rear suspension is also very stiff. This will get near intolerable daily if you live in an area with bad roads. Instead, take a look at the new TVS Ntorq 150, which combines peppy performance with comfort and practicality.

Asked by: Rappai For a first-time user, which is more suited between my shortlisted Skoda Kylaq Manual and the Toyota Fronx AMT? The choice between an automatic and manual will really be down to your comfort levels. If you are not confident about driving a manual or have a lot of traffic to deal with, then an automatic would be better. In this case, pick the Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT; the shifts will not be as smooth as a torque converter unit. But at least you won't have the hassle of changing gears yourself. If you can stretch your budget, opt for the 1.0 litre Turbo Fronx, which comes with a torque convertor automatic gearbox, or you can also opt for the Skoda Kylaq automatic, which also has a torque convertor and the lower variants would be a bit cheaper.
