TVS Jupiter 125 price in Rohtak

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?

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 purchase a scooter and am confused between TVS and Suzuki. My priority is a comfortable ride in both city and highway conditions. I need a good suspension scooter to handle bumpy roads and a comfortable riding position. Mileage is not a concern, and neither are looks, pickup, or power. I usually ride at speeds between 40-50 km/h and am not looking for a sporty ride. Please suggest, as I am confused between the Jupiter, Access, Ntorq, and Avenis.

For the best ride comfort, we'd recommend you choose between the TVS Jupiter 110 /125 and Suzuki Access models. Both have very good seating and suspension comfort but the Jupiter's larger 12-in rear wheel helps it round off bigger bumps a little better than the Access. The Jupiter's rear monoshock also has a handy winged preload adjuster which makes tailoring the suspension easier depending on the load you're carrying. The Access' upside is, that its seating position is more spacious and will serve taller riders better and its suspension composure is on par with the TVS. Take a test ride of both scooters to see which one suits you better and then make your decision.

I currently use a Jawa 42 for my daily office commute of around 15 km (one way), which involves city traffic and bad roads. However, the suspension and seat feel quite stiff, and the shocks from potholes are directly transmitted to my spine. I have lower back pain, which worsens with continued riding. I am considering switching to a scooter for a more comfortable commute. Could you please advise on the best options for my usage? I am 178 cm tall.

•13w

Since you've said that your commute has bad roads, replacing your Jawa 42 with a scooter wouldn't be our recommendation. While they are innately more practical than motorcycles, scooters have their smaller wheels and shorter, thinner suspension units. It won't really enhance your comfort, at least not to a great extent. Instead, we would advise you to get a practical 160cc commuter like the Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V or Bajaj Pulsar N160. These are comfortable, fuel-efficient and peppy machines perfectly suited to city use. To make an informed decision before you go ahead with your purchase, ensure to take a test ride of all three to see which one you gel with the best.If, however, you want to go with a scooter as your next purchase, consider the following options. In the family scooter space, the TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and Suzuki Access would be our top picks. If you want something sportier feeling and looking yet comfortable enough for daily usage, then the TVS Ntorq 125 & 150 are what you should be looking at. Again, a test ride of all of these is imperative before you make your decision. Make sure you intentionally go over bad patches of road and make tight, lock-to-lock U-turns to see if the handlebars foul with your knees, since you are a taller rider.

I would like to buy a new scooter - petrol or electric - but I require good suspension, comfortable seating, and ergonomic driving. My budget is a maximum of ₹1 lakh on the road. Please suggest a good option.

•16w

In the petrol scooter space, our top recommendations will be the TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and the Suzuki Access. These scooters have good seating and suspension comfort, are quite fuel efficient and will be easy to own and maintain as well. The only two electric scooters which we'd recommend under the Rs 1 lakh mark are the new Bajaj Chetak C2501 and the TVS Orbiter. Do bear in mind that the Chetak is quite a small scooter, so if you're a taller person or ride two-up frequently, this could be something to watch out for. The Orbiter is a nicely spacious machine, but it prioritises range over performance, so its acceleration is quite dull. A test ride of these machines will help you narrow down which machine is best for you.

Hi Autocar India team, I’m looking to buy a scooty and am confused between the Suzuki Access and Honda Activa Jupiter 125 now with iGO Assist. My main requirement is comfort - even with a pillion - for city commuting, as my current Activa 5G suspension feels poor on bad roads, rumble strips, and speed breakers. I prefer good initial acceleration rather than top speed since I don’t expect to cross 60-70 km/h on my commute route. I have test-ridden both scooties, but couldn’t figure out much in a short duration. I understand both are competent scooters, but which would suit my use case better? Is there any noticeable difference after the Jupiter 125 mild hybrid or iGO Assist upgrade in terms of economy or performance compared to before? Will it be an overall better scooter for me?

The TVS Jupiter 125 has a nifty winged preload adjuster for the rear suspension, which will allow you to quickly and easily set the preload when you're carrying two people, which is quite often for you. It also comes with 12-inch wheels at both ends, which endow it with better stability at higher speeds and will help round off bigger bumps better. TVS' iGO start/stop system will undoubtedly aid fuel economy, but its execution is a little lethargic in the real world, which can get frustrating in big city traffic. Coming to the Suzuki Access, this too is a comfortable scooter. Its strengths lie in its creamy smooth engine that packs zippy performance and bulletproof reliability. Also, its spare parts are affordable and easily available. It will also be great to carry a pillion around in the city; however, in that regard, the Jupiter is slightly better. Realistically, both scooters are great purchases and will serve you well in the long run. We'd recommend getting whichever one is more affordable for you and has a service centre close to you.

I am planning to buy a 125cc scooter and am confused between the Suzuki Access 125 ABS and the TVS Jupiter 125. Which one should I choose among the latest models currently available in the market?

•17w

Both the Suzuki Access and TVS Jupiter are excellent scooters, and you're already starting from a very high baseline. The Jupiter has some undisputed USPs like its big 33-litre underseat boot and apron-mounted fuel filler, both of which you won't find anywhere else in the scooter market. It also has slightly better high-speed stability and doesn't lose composure over bigger bumps thanks to its 12-inch wheels at both ends. On the other hand, the Access will feel more engaging and sprightlier to ride while retaining similiar strengths and is the only 125cc scooter today to come with ABS on its top two variants. If having the safety net of ABS is non-negotiable for your next scooter purchase, then the Access is your only option in the 125cc space. A test ride of these two will help you decide which is the better fit for you.

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

•19w

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.
