Is there any news about more variants of the TVS Orbiter launching this year, especially one with a 4.7kWh battery pack?

Verified
•5w

There’s no official word yet from TVS about additional Orbiter variants launching in the near term, and nothing has been shared publicly about a larger 4.7kWh battery - seen on the recently resurrected TVS iQubeS - for it.

If range is a key consideration for you, we'd recommend you stick with the higher iQube models only. The iQube has better judged acceleration and braking performance for nearly all real-world situations than the Orbiter, which can feel a little too slow in its quest to maximise range.

I currently own a 2007 Hero Honda Glamour and want to buy a new two-wheeler. I am confused between the Honda Activa, TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access and an electric scooter. My monthly fuel budget is around Rs. 1,500. My office is 16 km from home, and I commute there three days a week. Please suggest the best option considering running costs, reliability, fuel efficiency, low maintenance and long-term ownership.

With your monthly budget for fuel, you can definitely purchase a petrol scooter, and with gentle riding, you may even be able to come under that mark. If you want the typical strengths of a family scooter combined with peppy performance, then the Suzuki Access is to be considered over the 110cc TVS Jupiter and Honda Activa, otherwise the 110s will perform just fine. If you really want the lowest running cost and have home charging, an electric scooter like the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta, and Vida VX2 will cut your monthly running costs quite significantly, and maintenance, too, is minimal. Given your low usage, the fuel savings over a petrol-powered scooter will take some time to recoup. And in case of a spontaneous situation presenting itself, fuelling up a petrol-powered scooter is a much faster process than juicing up an e-scooter's battery. Take a call between the two based on your usage pattern and then make your decision.

I want to buy an EV scooter with a budget of Rs. 60,000. My requirements are minimal, as I travel less than 10 km daily. However, I want a reliable EV scooter with good safety and long-term performance. Please suggest a suitable and reliable EV scooter within this budget.

Since your budget is extremely tight but you want a reliable electric scooter, your only option would be to buy models like the Vida VX2 Go or TVS iQube or Ather Rizta via the BaaS (Battery as a Subscription) model. Going for an electric scooter from reputed brands like Hero, TVS and Ather gives you the peace of mind of knowing that you have one of the largest sales and service networks in the country and should you encounter an issue, help will likely not be too far.Take test rides of these scooters, figure out which one fits into your budget (including the BaaS monthly payment) and then decide for yourself, which is the best option.

I am 40 years old, 5'2 " in height, and I weigh 70 kg. I own a Fascino, riding for the last 8 years. I am now looking for a lifestyle motorcycle within a 3L INR budget. I have not ride a geared motorcycle ever. However, I do understand how it works since I have been driving manual cars for the last 15+ years. The usual commute is 100% within the city and within a 10 km radius with my daughter. I did try Hunter 350 for a 100-meter ride and liked it. Moderate fuel economy and ease of maintenance are my priorities, along with riding comfort.

Since you've mentioned your usage is quite low, and you liked the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 on your test ride, you should strongly consider it. The Hunter's low seat height and manageable weight will make it easy to use in city conditions, and it is a comfortable, reliable and fuss-free machine. If you ride sensibly, you will also see decent fuel economy, and the latest-gen Hunter has very pliant suspension, ensuring a comfortable ride over bad roads. Another option we'd recommend - and this is purely because you've mentioned this will be a "lifestyle purchase" - is the Goan Classic 350. The Goan attracts glances like nothing else at this price point, owing to its unique design and striking colours, and since it is based on a tried and tested platform, realistically, there should be no surprises in your prospective ownership. The one downside here is that the Goan is not as comfortable as the Hunter, mainly owing to its seating position.Take a test ride of the Goan to see if you resonate with the experience it has to offer before you make your decision.

My budget is Rs. 2 lakh, but I am willing to extend it if it is worth it. My daily commute is 80 km, with 40 km in the morning and 40 km in the evening. My major priorities are comfort, good mileage, and reduced rider fatigue.

Since you have a rather long commute with comfort and fuel economy as your top priorities, we'd recommend looking at these 160cc options - Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160. The Honda bikes are textbook commuters and are simple, no-nonsense machines which should also prove to be reliable and hassle-free to own. On the other hand, the TVS and Bajaj bikes are feature-rich, sporty commuters that will give you better performance while still being reaonably frugal and comfortable. In fact, if you want a little more pep, then the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N250 both are worth considering. These bikes offer a tangible step up in performance in comparison to their smaller siblings without sacrificing too much fuel economy and since you have a long commute every day, you will value the added performance on tap. Take test rides of these bikes to see which ones float your boat before you make a decision.

Can you please suggest which bike is better overall: the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 or the TVS Apache RTX 300?

Verified
•4d

The TVS Apache RTX 300 is a faster, more modern, feature-rich and capable machine than the Suzuki V-Strom SX. If you value performance and features, then the RTX is definitely the bike more likely to be up your alley. However, if most of your riding is in the city and you value a hassle-free, no-nonsense experience then the V-Strom will be the one that will appeal to you. While they sit in similiar price segments, the RTX and V-Strom aren't directly comparable and we'd advise you to take a test ride of both before you make your decision.

Is the Honda Hornet 2.0 better than the Bajaj Pulsar N160? I'm confused about which one to buy.

Verified
•3d

Both the Honda Hornet 2.0 and Bajaj Pulsar N160 have similar performance and fuel economy in the real world, so picking between the two will boil down to which bike's design, comfort, features and overall ownership experience you prefer. The N160 is also considerably more affordable than the Hornet, and, at the Hornet's price, you could even consider the larger Pulsar N250.However, Honda bikes are generally known for their hassle-free ownership experience with bulletproof long-term reliability and low maintenance costs. Bajaj's ownership costs, too, are quite frugal, but service can be a point of friction.Take test rides of both bikes and also speak to your nearest authorised dealer and service center for both brands before you make your decision.
