Asked by: BISWAJIT DASon Nov 3, 2025
I am about 5'6" tall and weigh 85 kg, based in Gurgaon. My typical round-trip commute is 20-30 km daily for office and gym, with occasional longer rides. I am considering either electric or petrol scooters, and I’m also open to entry-level motorcycles. My budget is ₹1,00,000-₹1,50,000, extendable up to ₹2,00,000. Which options should I consider?
In the electric scooter space, you can consider the TVS iQube 2.2 / 3.1, Bajaj Chetak 3001 and Ather Rizta 2.9 variants - all three are comfortable and practical offerings with enough range for your daily needs.
In the petrol scooter space, options you can consider are the Honda Activa models, TVS Jupiter duo and Suzuki Access 125 - all are fuel-efficient, practical and comfortable options.
Entry-level motorcycles like the TVS Raider or Hero XTreme 125R can also be considered if you like their sporty designs. In case you want a straightforward commuter, something like the Honda Shine 125 will serve you well.
Since you're considering a wide variety of options, make sure you take a test ride before you decide.

Asked by: Anandon Oct 8, 2025
Which family bike should I buy in the 125cc–150cc segment that offers strong mileage and full features? I am looking for a model with a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke single-cylinder engine, dual disc brakes, ABS, and an elegant look. Could you recommend suitable options?
Since you haven’t specified your budget or exact usage, here are some credible options across both segments:
In the 125cc sporty space, strong choices include the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R, and Honda CB125 Hornet. If you prefer a more conventional look, you could also consider bikes like the Hero Super Splendor, Glamour, Honda Shine 125, or SP 125. Most of these models offer ABS on at least one variant, as you requested.
In the 150–160cc category, sporty commuters like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are good picks. For larger riders, the Pulsar N160 offers a more spacious ride. And even though it is more than two decades old at this point, the trusty Honda Unicorn is worth considering if you want a no-nonsense but solid and comfortable commuting partner.
For liquid-cooled options in the 150–160cc space, only the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 V2 fit the bill. Both are great for commuting, though their design may not be classically elegant.
