Since your daily running is quite low, we'd recommend the TVS iQube 2.2 for your usage. The base iQube is anything but base in the way it rides, and it has zippy performance, reliable range, a spacious underseat boot and even a pretty quick 650W charger. All of this means that while you are essentially buying the entry-level model in the iQube range, you aren't getting an entry-level end-user experience. In our tests, we found that the iQube returned pretty much the exact range that was shown on the display in both its modes (Power and Eco). And unlike other EVs, which feel painfully hamstrung in big-city traffic in Eco mode, the iQube can comfortably do 40-45kph in its lower mode, meaning you don't have to really compromise on the performance front for more range. This variant of the iQube will also fit in under the Rs 1.20 lakh mark on-road in your city. Take a test ride of the iQube 2.2 to be sure that you and your spouse are comfortable with it, and then make your decision.

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.

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.

Since your daily run is quite short, one of the entry-level variants of the TVS iQube or Bajaj Chetak models would make perfect sense. The iQube 2.2 is a great, no-nonsense electric scooter that will have more than enough range for your daily needs, and it doesn't feel hamstrung by lower performance or a barebones features list. You could even look at the Chetak C3001 and C3501 models, which will offer you more range with similar performance. The Chetak is also one of the most spacious electric scooters around, so if you are particularly tall, it may be the one to go for over the iQube. Take test rides of both and go for the one you lean towards more before making your decision.

With your lengthy daily run, you should look at the TVS iQube ST 5.3. Its large battery is the most suited to your use case especially since you also carry a heavy load with you every day. Expect the battery to drain out a little more quickly while carrying load than if you ride solo. You may have to find a charging point for a quick top-up somewhere in between but by and large if you're sensible with your throttle hand, you should be able to finish your daily run in a single charge. The iQube is a well-established scooter with proven, reliable underpinnings and a wide service reach across the nation so you are buying one of the safest EVs out there.

Both the Ather Rizta and TVS iQube are great options, and no matter which one you choose, you realistically cannot go wrong with them. The Rizta has much more tech, and even its small battery gives you 105km of real-world range on a single charge. Its boot is also better shaped than the iQube's, which means a good-quality imported full-face helmet will fit inside alongside the charger, provided you thoughtfully arrange everything inside.On the other hand, the TVS iQube is as simple as an electric scooter gets and is a no-nonsense machine which just keeps running without fault day in and day out. TVS's service reach across the country is better than Ather's, so the iQube makes for the logical purchase, but it's not like the Rizta is an outlier. Picking between the two will be made easier once you get a test ride of both and see which one you're leaning toward more.No matter which option you choose, your commute is short enough that a normal amount of range drop after a few years will not majorly affect you.

For your use case, the only option you should consider is the TVS iQube ST 5.3. The iQube ST fits inside your budget and will give you the range you desire, and with its big 32-litre boot, it will also be able to accomodate your daily essentials with ease. Since your running is quite high, going for a reputed scooter like the iQube with TVS' widespread sales and service reach is a safe bet.

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.

Since you have had a long and drama-free stint with your Shine, the logical next step to make would be the Honda Unicorn. For your use case, which is mostly inside the city with short weekend leisure rides, the Unicorn makes for a good fit. It will offer a noticeable step up in performance and comfort compared to the Shine with only a small drop-off in fuel economy. The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is lovely if you want a relaxed bike with new-age reliability and old-school feel, but since you have mentioned you are on the slimmer side of the spectrum, its weight could be a problem at slower speeds and its fuel economy will also be noticeably lower.If your landlord and the building you reside in, don't have a problem with you installing a charging solution at home, you can consider electric scooters like TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta and Vida VX2. If not, stick with a petrol-powered bike for now.To decide between the Unicorn and Bullet, we'd recommend a test ride of both since they are very different machines.

With less than 50km running a month, the TVS iQube 2.2 is the best option since you are leaning towards an electric scooter. Since it will give you minimum 60km range on a single charge (provided it isn't left idle for multiple days allowing the battery to drain slowly) you will charge the scooter only once in a few weeks.Do bear in mind that with your miniscule run, you will not recover the higher price you'll pay over an equivalent petrol-powered scooter any time soon.
