Suzuki Access

The most fuel-efficient scooters in the 125cc space in our tests have been the Yamaha RayZR and Fascino models. Both are mechanically and feature-wise exactly the same, with only different bodywork and styling separating the two. Some other proven and reliable options to consider are the Suzuki Access, Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter models - these are also practical, fuel-efficient, reliable and comfortable scooters with widespread service networks.

Within your budget, there's no electric scooter with a battery big enough to fit your requirements. The options we would recommend looking at for you are the Bajaj Chetak 35 models, TVS iQube 3.5 or 5.3 variants and the Ather Rizta 3.7 duo. These options are quite a bit above your budget, so if you're open to a petrol scooter, you can consider the TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access and Honda Activa models. Coming to the Ola S1X you're considering, even though it may be falling within your budget and look tempting on paper, please do not waste your hard-earned money on that product because the internet is flooded with horror stories that people have faced after buying Ola Electric products. 

In the 125cc scooter segment, our top picks are the Suzuki Access, TVS Jupiter 125 and the Honda Activa 125 if you want a traditional-looking and family-centric offering. If you want something a little sportier and sharper-looking but don't want to sacrifice practicality, the TVS Ntorq 125 is our pick in the class. All of them come with disc brakes on multiple variants, so you have a broad price spread to choose from. 

You can check out the Hero Destini 125 as it offers a really plush ride quality over bad roads and through potholes. Ask your parents to test ride the scooter before making a purchase. Other options to consider are the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Suzuki Access 125.

Scooters you can consider are the TVS Jupiter 110, Suzuki Access 125, and Honda Activa models. All of these are lightweight and manageable. 

If you want something even more approachable, then the TVS Scooty Zest 110 or the Yamaha RayZR / Fascino can be considered.

 A test ride will help you decide which one suits you best. 

Since your scooter is already quite old and not E20 compliant, we would recommend changing to a newer petrol scooter or an EV.

If you’re interested in an electric scooter, consider options like the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta, or River Indie. Make sure you choose a variant that offers enough range for your daily use.

However, if EVs seem too expensive, a new petrol scooter like the TVS Jupiter 110 or the Suzuki Access will fit the bill.
