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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
