The Activa 125 Fi engine has gotten much smoother than older ones. If you ride mostly in city stop-go traffic, Activa is still hard to argue with.

Questions you may find useful

I am a bit confused about choosing between the Suzuki Access and the Honda Activa 125. I have test-ridden both, and each has a different character in terms of smoothness, pickup and comfort. Could you please suggest which one I should choose, especially if I am looking for a scooter that remains smooth, comfortable and vibration-free over long-term ownership?

•1w

Both the Honda Activa 125 and Suzuki Access are excellent options when it comes to engine smoothness and longevity, so picking between the two will be a personal decision, rather than comparing any specifications on paper. These scooters are proven commodities which are likely to provide hassle-free long-term ownership, so pick the machine that you are leaning towards. Also see which brand has a dealer/service touchpoint near your residence, this will ensure you are near to an authorised mechanic in case you need service or repair support.Since you seem like someone who will keep the vehicle for the long run, we'd recommend you take a look at the ABS-equipped top two variants of the Suzuki Access, as that will be a valuable feature, especially given the unpredictable nature of our roads.

Hello, my two-wheeler usage is quite limited, as I travel to work by office cab from Monday to Friday. On weekends, I typically ride around 5-15 km, while on weekdays, my total usage is usually less than 5 km. Given this usage pattern, would a petrol-powered two-wheeler be the best option for me?

•1w

With your very limited weekly running, the extra cost you'll pay upfront while buying an electric two-wheeler over a petrol-powered one will take quite some time to recover. While petrol today surely is costly, you will not spend much on fuel every month. Petrol-powered scooters also have wider dealer networks and easy spares, handy when you use it irregularly. One point to bear in mind will be that servicing an ICE vehicle will be slightly more expensive on a yearly basis. If you are leaning towards an EV, that is also a credible option so long as you have a socket where you park. However, you'll be buying it for the smoothness and silent running not savings at your usage. Depending on which sort of powertrain you want in your next purchase, make your decision and we've provided some of the highest rated scooters available in India today. In the ICE scooter segment, options like Honda Activa 110 / 125, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and Suzuki Access / Burgman Street would be our top picks. Whereas, in the electric scooter segment, options like TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta and Vida VX2 are proven, reliable machines we'd recommend.

I need advice on choosing between an EV scooter and a petrol scooter. I live in Chennai, and my usage is quite low, less than 15 km per day, with only occasional long rides. Could you please suggest which option would be better for my needs?

•3w

Since your daily running is quite low, getting an electric scooter doesn't make sense, as recouping the higher initial purchase cost will take quite a while. In the petrol scooter space, sticking with proven models like Honda Activa 110 / 125, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and Suzuki Access would be prudent. The 110cc models will have better fuel economy, but the 125cc versions usually have more features and a noticeable step up in performance. However, considering that petrol prices are on the upswing currently, one electric scooter you could consider to combat that is the TVS iQube 2.2. Its price isn't much higher than most of the aforementioned ICE scooters, and it has a real-world range of 75km - we've verified this in our tests. Take test rides of these scooters before you make a decision. Remember that with an EV, longer journeys will need a little bit extra planning and preparedness than with an ICE scooter.

I want to buy a scooter. Between Honda Activa, Hero Destiny, and TVS Jupitor 125, which one is the better option ?

•20w

Of the three, the most feature-rich and well-rounded option is the TVS Jupiter 125. It offers a huge 33-litre underseat storage area, a comfortable ride, and is also decently punchy. If you want the best ride comfort, the Hero Destini 125 is our pick but it falls short in other areas in comparison to other models.The Honda Activa, meanwhile, may not excel in any one specific area, but as an all-round package it remains a reliable, fuel-efficient, and long-lasting scooter. We would also suggest considering the latest Suzuki Access, as it is a family scooter but can also be quite engaging to ride.A test ride should help you decide which is the best option for you.

I own a Honda Activa 5G that is five years old and has covered approximately 24,000 km. The scooter is serviced every three months, with an average maintenance cost of around ₹3,000 per service. My daily commute is roughly 40 km, primarily in city traffic. Over the past year, I have started experiencing several issues that are impacting ride comfort, confidence, and safety. The suspension feels overly stiff, and since the Activa 5G does not feature a telescopic front suspension, even small road imperfections and potholes are felt sharply. Although the rear tyre was replaced at around 23,000 km at a cost of approximately ₹1,500, cornering confidence - especially on wet roads - continues to feel inadequate. Additionally, noticeable vibrations through the footboard and handlebars beyond 40 km/h raise concerns about long-term comfort and potential mechanical wear. Given these concerns, I am evaluating whether it makes more sense to continue using the Activa 5G despite its limitations, upgrade to another scooter such as the Honda Activa 125 or alternatives from other brands for better ride quality and stability, or transition to a motorcycle like the Honda SP160 or Honda Unicorn, even though I have no prior experience with geared motorcycles. I am seeking expert guidance on which option would be the most practical and financially sensible choice for my usage pattern over the medium to long term.

Given your usage pattern, the fact that you are used to a scooter and don't have experience riding a geared motorcycle, we would recommend you stick to one. Since you are familiar with the Honda dealer and after-sales network, upgrading to the Honda Activa 125 would make sense. It will offer you better performance, ride and handling and more features over your older Activa 5G. You should also take a look at other proven options like the TVS Jupiter models and the Suzuki Access if you're considering the Activa. The Jupiter, in particular, has a few segment-first features and makes for a genuinely compelling alternative. A test ride will help you figure out which is the better option for you.
