The TVS Ntorq 150 is the most powerful scooter in your shortlist, and it will also be the most fun to ride. It is also the most feature-packed, with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes and a host of other features. The TVS Jupiter 125 is a more practical option, with plush ride quality and a huge 33-litre underseat storage space. The Suzuki Access 125 is a family scooter with peppy performance that should be very reliable and fuel-efficient, too. The Honda Activa 125 doesn't have any one standout feature, but is a proven package you can't really go wrong with.Take a test ride of all four so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.

There is a government circular that has been floating around on the internet saying that all two-wheelers will have to have ABS compulsorily come January 2026. However, neither the government nor the manufacturers has confirmed anything regarding this so far. You could wait a few weeks before finalising your purchase, and then choose between the Honda Activa 125 or the TVS Jupiter 125 if this rule does come into effect.

In the petrol scooter space, the frontrunners are Honda Activa 110/125, TVS Jupiter 110/125 and Suzuki Access 125. All three are proven, comfortable, fuel-efficient and very practical, so whichever one you choose, you can't realistically go wrong. In the Electric scooter space, our top recommendations are TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Vida VX2 and Ather Rizta models. Again, these are proven and reliable machines from top-tier brands with good service reach across India, so pick the variant that suits your needs best. It would be prudent to wait a couple of months for the upcoming EL platform-based family electric scooter, which will give you the slick experience Ather scooters are known for but at a more digestible price. If you have secure charging at home, then an EV will help you save on your running costs greatly compared to an ICE scooter. Depending on your preference of powertrain, we'd recommend a test ride of the options recommended before you go ahead with your purchase to see which one suits your needs best.

We're not sure where you're getting your information from, but the Access and Burgman definitely don't have 'stiff' suspension that will hamper ride quality inside the city. On the contrary, especially so with a pillion, the Access and Burgman have some of the best seating and suspension comfort in the 125cc space. The Suzuki scooters also have rather frugal engines, and when ridden sensibly, you should see 45-50kpl, if not more.The TVS Jupiter 125 is another great option to look at with its spacious seat and plush suspension, and one unique feature it has is that its monoshock comes with a handy winged preload adjuster, which makes it easy to tune the suspension based on the load you're carrying on the vehicle. Coming to the matter of rattling body panels, this may be the case on some isolated units, which may not have been maintained properly and doesn't seem like a widespread, routinely reported one. We'd advise you to disregard whatever misconceptions you may have about these scooters and instead take test rides of all three before you make your decision.

In addition to the Hero Destini 125, we'd recommend you also consider the TVS Jupiter 125 and the Suzuki Access, too. As overall packages, the TVS and Suzuki are better options than the Hero, although the Destini definitely has a slight edge in terms of overall comfort. In terms of fuel efficiency, all three are quite closely matched and are frugal machines, but long-term ownership should be slightly more trouble-free on the Access. Before you make your decision, take a test ride of all three back-to-back to understand the strong and weak points of all. Currently, E20 fuel is here to stay, and any higher blends are still some time away.
