Best Scooters

We spent some time riding the new TVS Jupiter and testing various aspects of it. Here is our take on whether it is worth the asking price.

It was in 2013 that the first TVS Jupiter 110 was launched in India. And over the eleven years of its existence, more than 50 lakh units have been sold to millions of families across the country.

Looking at the Ntorq’s success, Suzuki too has attempted to emulate TVS by bringing its own 125cc sporty scooter, the Avenis 125. So, how much has Suzuki succeeded in doing that?

TVS Motor Company has announced the launch of the 2021 Ntorq 125 Race XP which is by far the most powerful variant of the 125cc scooter. We tested the scooter in various riding conditions to bring you a detailed road test review.

After using the TVS Ntorq mostly in the city confines, it was time to take it out on the open highway to see if it still manages to impress us. 

Do the updates promise retention of an unhindered sales dominance amongst all the scooters in India? We went out on a spin on the new Honda Activa 6G to answer this very question.

Since, its inception in 2007, it has managed to strike a sweet balance between performance, styling and comfort. Over the years, Suzuki has improved this scooter thus making it a better product with every iteration.

The 125cc scooter segment has suddenly become as popular as the 110cc space. Customers want more power and features. They also have more disposable income. So most of the manufacturers are hustling their way into this spectrum because no one wants to lose this opportunity. Suzuki has been in this space for a while now, with the Access 125. But it took things to a whole new level with the new Access 125 which was launched in early 2016. It had the right ingredients to not only make it an exciting scooter, but also a value-for-money scooter. But now, it has a sporty rival, the Aprilia SR 125 which promises to offer the same amount of excitement, if not better. But is it a value for money purchase? Let’s find out! 

The Suzuki Access 125 has been our favourite premium scooter so far. Can Honda do with its new premium scooter what it managed to do with the Activa?

While the BS6 mandate will only be implemented next year, Honda was early to the party and came with the Activa 125 BS6. Spending a couple of days with the scooter, we test it in various conditions to find out how different it is is and if the new tech makes life any easier.

For almost four months, the TVS iQube was my primary commuter. I enjoyed every bit of the experience, especially my city runs, which eased up many daily activities. Be with me while going to the gym or groceries shopping; the iQube became a friend of mine. It reached a point where my vehicles were ignored to make space for the iQube experience. But there was one thing that spoiled a significant experience for me, and if you have read my previous report, you would know.

It’s been a while since I rode my Hero Xpulse to office. This Hero motorcycle was my primary use of transport each day, but then the TVS iQubeS entered my life, and a lot of things changed. Firstly, I had to convince myself that I will need to spend more time commuting due to lesser average riding speed.

TVS iQube S Electric Scooter Long-Term Review: Introduction

When we speak of maxi-styled scooters in India, although the list is fairly short, the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 is one of the popular names in the category. But recently, the company launched an updated version of it with the ‘EX’ badge and a premium of Rs 19,000
