Reviews of TVS Jupiter 125

Hi Reader,
I would like provide a brefie review about my brand new TVS Jupiter 125. This will give you an better understanding of this bike and it will help to make disicions if you are willing to buy a new scooter.
Model:
TVS Jupiter has multiple models. Base model has drum brake, next model has disk break and third model has disk break with further enhancement in feature like map assistant, premium seat with back support etc. So I'm a family person with Wife and 2 kids ( elder son is 5 years and second baby is 1 year) hence I was looking for a bike with wider seat, large boot storage, high weight bearing capacity, high mileage in nominal price, hence I prefered disk break TCS Jupiter 125.
Features / Pros:
As I mentioned in my previous note, It has below features
1. Disk Break (Model based).
2. Large Seat ( Even easy for a big family).
3. Large Boot space ( 2 helmets with some items is possile to carry).
4. Auto Mode On/Off Switch (Engine with auto off if the bike is not moving for more than 20 seconds. This is beneficial in Traffic to save Petrol). [There is a big catch in this point. Which I will highlight in Cons section]
5. Hand Break (Much needed when we want to park the scooter in slanding paths)
6. Helmet remainder while starting thne vehicle (Though it's just a static one, I appreciate).
7. Side Stand Indicator.
8. Engine Off when Side Stand is On. (I do have a Con here, we will discuss)
9. Charging Port.
10. Petrol Input is at front (So no need of getting down and opening the boot space like other old model scooters.)
11. Clock Time.
12. Eventhough we are having self start, there is a Kicker.
13. Echo mode and Turbo Mode. (If we raise the accelaretor too much suddenly or Speed needle crossed 60KM/L, Turbo mode will ON. else it will be Echo mode).
14. There is a Error Symbol in the screen which will ON if there are any error/backup recovery happening in the scooter. This is a much important feature out of all, since it will show light whenever motor things there is a error in the ISG / Powerbackup [Here also one catch, will discuss in the Con.]
15. Low Petrol Indicator.
16. It has been providing better mileage of ~56km/l.
17. Cost of the bike is lower than any other bikes with 125CC.
Cons:
Out of the above feature, there are Cons as below
1. Auto Mode On/OFF made my vehicle Off in Trafic but when I press the break and raise accelrator, igintion should On but in my case bike always went to Error Mode and due to that no other option was not working including strtaing the vehicle. Due to this I faced serious issue in main roads of Bangalore. This happened immediatetly once I the started raiding the vehicle. I informed the Showroom people / Service Guys but no one accepeted this. After a serious fight, they accepted that there is an issue in Jupiter 125 new models ISG, which made the vehicle to Error Mode !!!!!!
I was shocked since it was a brand new vehicle and failure in ISG is a product bug. After I replaced ISG under Varenty and now it is working fine. So if any one is going to buy new Jupiter 125, please keep in mind as this problem is very random and you might also be one among them like me.
2. Side Stand was not working within 2 weeks of Purchase:
Side Stand was always on ON due to that engine was not started. Even we pushed it to up, it was going down automatically. It is also an issue with the quality of Jupiter 125 and I lost the confidence on the quality of TVS products nowadays.
3. Eventhough I bought Disk Break model, breaks are working as Drum only. Even after 1st service still it is not upto the mark. Due to this break weakness, I met an Accident and my bike's front chrome and silver panel are broken. I didn't get parts easily from TVS and still one part is pending to repair due to the lack of pproduct at TVS.
4. TVS Service:
The service was very worst and they won't accept the issues that easily. They will try to convience you as much as possible and if you fight to the core and provided more and more proofs lively then they will accept and fix it. So they are able to fix the issues and accepting the issue is a real concern.
5. When talking about Engine performance, Initially vehicle provided loud noise while driving. After first service, now the vehicle is smoother than before.
These are my own experience and I'm not saying you will also face it but this is was happened to me.

Worst riding experience. A lot of vibrations after 2 weeks of use. When you ride the bike slowly you will feel the vibration very badly and when you write fast you will not even feel it. I visited the service center two times and reported this issue but not yet been fixed. So I don't recommend this vehicle to anyone.

About the Reviewer

125 Jupiter has a vibration problem. Don't buy it I am struggling to solve this issue. They don't even know why it is vibrating. From day one it started vibrating. After 5 days I visited the workshop and they didn't solve it. I am still consulting with the technical team and doing my best to replace it. Just be careful, don't buy it without test driving it. There are many hidden issues in this.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience was smooth. Bought it from a sub dealer.
We bought this scooter after using activa for 6 years. Ride experience is good. Especially i like the suspension set up and bigger 12 inch tyres , they absorb bumps flawlessly.
Look wise front facia looks great. And during night time i love the instrumental console. And seat is so big compared to it's rivals.
I have not done first service yet so right now can't comment.
Pros :
1 Bigger seat can accommodate 2 kids n two adults comfortably
2.Bigger boot space everyone will love it.
3..Ride during bumpy roads is far better.
4.Headlight visibility is awesome. We have pass switch also.
5. Fuel economy as per my calculations on tank to tank basis we are getting 53 km/litre.
Instrumental console shows instantaneous fuel efficiency which can be easily used as guide to throttle inputs. Still i have not done first service.
6.Inteligo feature is good to use in traffic.
7. Ample legroom for the rider.
8.With only one point operation for boot , fuel lid, engine kill, handle lock make it more convenient for users.
9.Fuel filling is in front that saves time and efforts on fuel stations.
10.Less/no vibrations felt on handle bar.
11. And main stand is so easy to use even my wife is parking it on main stand every day. And she is happy to do it again n again i was surprised with that.
12. Parking brake is so so easy to use that it kept me thinking how little things can make customers smile and write longer reviews.
13. Disc brake also gives extra safety.
14. Materials used are also of good quality.
Cons
1. Limited colour choices and that too orange colour is not available easily. So choices between only grey and blue . Given the fact that ladies are also enjoying riding this scooter more colour options should be there.
2. Showrooms doesn't have tvs jupiter 125 readily available but sub dealers are selling new fresh pieces everyday.

About the Reviewer

Finally I made a good decision once again to buy tvs jupiter 125. I am a retired banker looking for a new bike for myself. "kam peeta hai" line of television ads was a trigger for choosing tvs over others. Showroom manager convinced me to choose the newly launched jupiter 125 as it has more advanced technology and features.
Jupiter 125 only looks heavy but actually it's a light weight scooter. Half of the body is made of plastic while the front wheel guard, sides of the body panel which may get direct impact are metallic. It may be a cost cutting technique but it's fine. Design is classic. Riding experience is very smooth and there is no vibration even at 60 km/h of speed. Weight is evenly distributed and it helps in cornering without moving my foot to the ground. Acceleration, pickup, braking and overall performance are literally up to the mark. Seat and suspensions are decent. Mobile charging socket is also there but what really matters for me is a big storage under the seat which is very useful. Buying fresh vegetables and fruits daily is my habit and carrying those on boot in between the legs feels a bit uncomfortable and unsafe as legs are widely opened in that case.
Tvs is a very popular brand nowadays like Bajaj or hero. Availability of parts and service couldn't be a deal breaker.
Pros:
(1) shifting fuel intake to the front manages twice the storage under the seat.
(2) city mileage is more than 50 km/l.
(3) light weight of the scooter makes handling very easy.
(4) down stand alarm is a life saver.
Cons:
(1) fuel tank is underneath the floor. So, i used to be cautious on rough roads with irregular bumps.
Finally, if you want to experience light and smooth rides on a budget then definitely go for it.

About the Reviewer

If you start reading read till end..
It's one of the best 125cc scooters in it's segment. If you want a scooter that can do daily commute and also for carry house hold things, you can go buy this scooter eyes closed.
It has very comfortable seat and also the material used in the seats are also of very high quality. It's suspension is so smooth
It's design is carry forwarded by jupiter 110. But from far it gives a glimpse of Activa 125 (for me). Performance is very good , not less and not high by its competitors.
"people say tvs service is not good" but it's not true not all 5 fingers are equal, like that not every service center is bad .I have very good service experience. Don't listen to people.
Prose: biggest storage capacity and foot space. Longest and widest seat.
Cons: design flaw , while putting stand down. Not much colour available. Plain colour scheme.

About the Reviewer

I shuffled from too many 2 wheelers (apache 200 4v, tvs ntorq, tvs raider & royal enfield classic 350) and finally bought this tvs jupiter 125 (top model disc + diamond cut alloys).
1. Buying experience: i had a quotation a day before purchase with dealership. Removed unnecessary charges from the price breakdown. Bought in 97000/- in case from S.K. Tvs (Tilak Nagar, Delhi). The day of purchase my scooter was ready to run in less then 30 minutes. So, my buying experience was not bad.
2. Riding experience: I had pulsar 180 before this so, this was the first time i was buying a scooter. After riding for a couple of days, I found that riding this scooter at a speed of below 50-60 km/h is pleasant. Feel like no hurry and start riding and you will enjoy this machine.
3. Looks & performance: front looks of this scooter is average and rear look is good. Headlight performance is great and when you are standing on the red light then people see front fuel lid and look in your eyes with questions. Many time they asked me about the fuel lid and price of the scooter. Coming to the performance, this scooter won't allow you for sudden overtake in traffic situation. Scooter is very comfortable and practical and made for peaceful rides.
4. Service & maintenance: My experience with service centre was neutral. Service centre guys were professional and they were doing their job in a way they are trained. Maintenance cost is not too much and you get 3 services free with this scooter.
5. Pros and cons: Headlight performance is excellent. Boot space is outstanding. Front glove box is great to hold a beer bottle along with one pint.. Handling is awesome, feels totally in your control. Sbt breaking system is life-saver in sudden breaking situation. Diamond cut alloys are looks enhancer. Side-stand engine cut-off and beep is great safety feature. Meter console is very informative and bright. Wider seat is very comfortable and cushiony. I along with wife and daughter sits very comfortable on this.
Cons: Front look of this scooter is very average. Locking boot space is not friendly and need to push on the seat very hard to lock it. If your fuel tank is full then dte feature will not appear until your fuel meter is 2 bars down. Placing the scooter on center stand is little difficult. Grab handle reflector is just a reflecting sticker not a plastic reflector.

About the Reviewer

Everything was fabulous and outstanding about this scooter right from the purchase process to the driving experience which was amazing. Tvs matrix motors, Mira road staff was very very cooperative at every stage of the the purchase process. The handling of the scooter is simply amazing and it zips across in all traffic situations. The two best features are the 33 litre under seat storage and the intelligo automatic stop and start system which enhances the scooters mileage much more than expected. The distance to empty feature is also amazing. The low battery indicator is important as the scooter does not have a kick start system at all which was very surprising for me as this is the first scooter with out a kick start mechanism. Another feature of the tvs scooters is that the odometer is linked to the rear wheel instead of the front wheel which increases the odometer of the scooter even if the scooter is parked on the main stand and accelerated in place which is actually a strange feature which again is a first for me. Overall this scooter is on a rating of 4.5 and the point 5 is only for the missing kick start and the rear wheel odometer system. Thank you for reading my review so patiently. Stay safe, wear your mask and take care. Thank you.

About the Reviewer

I decided to purchase the scooter only after reading Bikewale's review. Booked the top variant (grey) in march and got it after a month's waiting period as it was in high demand during that time. Currently(Aug) there's no waiting period.
Overall experience is a 7/10. Have been using it for daily commutes around 35-40 kms every day and also a couple of short tours ranging 200-250 kms. One thing I can brag about is the smoothness in the 50-60kmph range. It's buttery smooth and feels like an ev sometimes.
Coming to the looks, it's not a head turner but most people do appreciate the design language and the nice-looking alloys. Believe me, it carries a nice touch of premium-ness that is reflected in every bit of the scooter.
Performance is commendable in this price range. Reaches 80 kmph easily and tops at 90. You can easily cruise in 60-70kmph range. You can also do 80 but there will be a sharp drop in fuel efficiency.
With healthy speeds and proper tyre pressure, it can return a mileage of 51kmpl (max recorded by me). The average is 45-50kmpl.
When you constantly ride it for say, more than 100 kms at speeds > 60kmph there is a drop in mileage. In one such situation, I got around 38kmpl. Otherwise, fuel efficiency figures are pretty good.
Handling and shock absorption are where Jupiter 125 kills the competition its THE BEST in the segment according to me. It's fun to ride in cities and traffic. Gets adjustable shockers from Gabriel that does the job perfectly. The tyres are great and provide excellent grip in turns and rains. Even at higher speeds the scooter feels planted and you feel confident.
The braking system is not the best but the disc at the front provides good bite and combo braking really helps.
The headlights are pretty good. It has got nice DRLs in the back and front. The instrument cluster feels great and it's subjective in my opinion. The analogue digital combo is what I like more than the fully digital ones. Its digital unit is a bit small I can say but provides all required information. 2 trip meters and one trip F, Average and instantaneous fuel efficiency, distance to empty, all warnings like engine oil, low battery, side stand, service due, ISG and engine warnings etc.
Coming to electronics it has got a side stand cut-off sensor and intelli-go which powers off the engine in halts.
Maintenance and parts availability is never an issue with TVS. Just go through the manual book for more information about what's needed to be checked/changed during the respective service and confirm with the technician whether its done correctly or not.
Brownie points for external fuel filler, external charging socket, storage area below the charging socket to put your phone/power bank, water bottle, glasses; large boot space and wide floorboard.
Most convenient and practical family scooter.
Pros and cons:
Pros:
Looks, Handling, suspension setup, features
Cons:
There are some and I am not sure if I am the only person facing these.
1. every day when I turn on the ignition and accelerate for the first time in the morning the scooter gets a lot of vibration in the rear and the handles. After riding it for a while, the vibrations disappear.
2. Rear brakes lack the required bite. You have to depend on the disc a lot.
3. Front disc produces a lot of squeaking noises while riding during rain or on muddy patches. Have to clean the discs every morning with a clean cloth.
4. Fuel efficiency could have been better.

Looks, Handling, suspension setup, features
Cons:
There are some and I am not sure if I am the only person facing these.
1. every day when I turn on the ignition and accelerate for the first time in the morning the scooter gets a lot of vibration in the rear and the handles. After riding it for a while, the vibrations disappear.
2. Rear brakes lack the required bite. You have to depend on the disc a lot.
3. Front disc produces a lot of squeaking noises while riding during rain or on muddy patches. Have to clean the discs every morning with a clean cloth.
4. Fuel efficiency could have been better.

About the Reviewer

Hi Reader,
I would like provide a brefie review about my brand new TVS Jupiter 125. This will give you an better understanding of this bike and it will help to make disicions if you are willing to buy a new scooter.
Model:
TVS Jupiter has multiple models. Base model has drum brake, next model has disk break and third model has disk break with further enhancement in feature like map assistant, premium seat with back support etc. So I'm a family person with Wife and 2 kids ( elder son is 5 years and second baby is 1 year) hence I was looking for a bike with wider seat, large boot storage, high weight bearing capacity, high mileage in nominal price, hence I prefered disk break TCS Jupiter 125.
Features / Pros:
As I mentioned in my previous note, It has below features
1. Disk Break (Model based).
2. Large Seat ( Even easy for a big family).
3. Large Boot space ( 2 helmets with some items is possile to carry).
4. Auto Mode On/Off Switch (Engine with auto off if the bike is not moving for more than 20 seconds. This is beneficial in Traffic to save Petrol). [There is a big catch in this point. Which I will highlight in Cons section]
5. Hand Break (Much needed when we want to park the scooter in slanding paths)
6. Helmet remainder while starting thne vehicle (Though it's just a static one, I appreciate).
7. Side Stand Indicator.
8. Engine Off when Side Stand is On. (I do have a Con here, we will discuss)
9. Charging Port.
10. Petrol Input is at front (So no need of getting down and opening the boot space like other old model scooters.)
11. Clock Time.
12. Eventhough we are having self start, there is a Kicker.
13. Echo mode and Turbo Mode. (If we raise the accelaretor too much suddenly or Speed needle crossed 60KM/L, Turbo mode will ON. else it will be Echo mode).
14. There is a Error Symbol in the screen which will ON if there are any error/backup recovery happening in the scooter. This is a much important feature out of all, since it will show light whenever motor things there is a error in the ISG / Powerbackup [Here also one catch, will discuss in the Con.]
15. Low Petrol Indicator.
16. It has been providing better mileage of ~56km/l.
17. Cost of the bike is lower than any other bikes with 125CC.
Cons:
Out of the above feature, there are Cons as below
1. Auto Mode On/OFF made my vehicle Off in Trafic but when I press the break and raise accelrator, igintion should On but in my case bike always went to Error Mode and due to that no other option was not working including strtaing the vehicle. Due to this I faced serious issue in main roads of Bangalore. This happened immediatetly once I the started raiding the vehicle. I informed the Showroom people / Service Guys but no one accepeted this. After a serious fight, they accepted that there is an issue in Jupiter 125 new models ISG, which made the vehicle to Error Mode !!!!!!
I was shocked since it was a brand new vehicle and failure in ISG is a product bug. After I replaced ISG under Varenty and now it is working fine. So if any one is going to buy new Jupiter 125, please keep in mind as this problem is very random and you might also be one among them like me.
2. Side Stand was not working within 2 weeks of Purchase:
Side Stand was always on ON due to that engine was not started. Even we pushed it to up, it was going down automatically. It is also an issue with the quality of Jupiter 125 and I lost the confidence on the quality of TVS products nowadays.
3. Eventhough I bought Disk Break model, breaks are working as Drum only. Even after 1st service still it is not upto the mark. Due to this break weakness, I met an Accident and my bike's front chrome and silver panel are broken. I didn't get parts easily from TVS and still one part is pending to repair due to the lack of pproduct at TVS.
4. TVS Service:
The service was very worst and they won't accept the issues that easily. They will try to convience you as much as possible and if you fight to the core and provided more and more proofs lively then they will accept and fix it. So they are able to fix the issues and accepting the issue is a real concern.
5. When talking about Engine performance, Initially vehicle provided loud noise while driving. After first service, now the vehicle is smoother than before.
These are my own experience and I'm not saying you will also face it but this is was happened to me.

About the Reviewer

Worst riding experience. A lot of vibrations after 2 weeks of use. When you ride the bike slowly you will feel the vibration very badly and when you write fast you will not even feel it. I visited the service center two times and reported this issue but not yet been fixed. So I don't recommend this vehicle to anyone.

About the Reviewer

125 Jupiter has a vibration problem. Don't buy it I am struggling to solve this issue. They don't even know why it is vibrating. From day one it started vibrating. After 5 days I visited the workshop and they didn't solve it. I am still consulting with the technical team and doing my best to replace it. Just be careful, don't buy it without test driving it. There are many hidden issues in this.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience was smooth. Bought it from a sub dealer.
We bought this scooter after using activa for 6 years. Ride experience is good. Especially i like the suspension set up and bigger 12 inch tyres , they absorb bumps flawlessly.
Look wise front facia looks great. And during night time i love the instrumental console. And seat is so big compared to it's rivals.
I have not done first service yet so right now can't comment.
Pros :
1 Bigger seat can accommodate 2 kids n two adults comfortably
2.Bigger boot space everyone will love it.
3..Ride during bumpy roads is far better.
4.Headlight visibility is awesome. We have pass switch also.
5. Fuel economy as per my calculations on tank to tank basis we are getting 53 km/litre.
Instrumental console shows instantaneous fuel efficiency which can be easily used as guide to throttle inputs. Still i have not done first service.
6.Inteligo feature is good to use in traffic.
7. Ample legroom for the rider.
8.With only one point operation for boot , fuel lid, engine kill, handle lock make it more convenient for users.
9.Fuel filling is in front that saves time and efforts on fuel stations.
10.Less/no vibrations felt on handle bar.
11. And main stand is so easy to use even my wife is parking it on main stand every day. And she is happy to do it again n again i was surprised with that.
12. Parking brake is so so easy to use that it kept me thinking how little things can make customers smile and write longer reviews.
13. Disc brake also gives extra safety.
14. Materials used are also of good quality.
Cons
1. Limited colour choices and that too orange colour is not available easily. So choices between only grey and blue . Given the fact that ladies are also enjoying riding this scooter more colour options should be there.
2. Showrooms doesn't have tvs jupiter 125 readily available but sub dealers are selling new fresh pieces everyday.

About the Reviewer

Finally I made a good decision once again to buy tvs jupiter 125. I am a retired banker looking for a new bike for myself. "kam peeta hai" line of television ads was a trigger for choosing tvs over others. Showroom manager convinced me to choose the newly launched jupiter 125 as it has more advanced technology and features.
Jupiter 125 only looks heavy but actually it's a light weight scooter. Half of the body is made of plastic while the front wheel guard, sides of the body panel which may get direct impact are metallic. It may be a cost cutting technique but it's fine. Design is classic. Riding experience is very smooth and there is no vibration even at 60 km/h of speed. Weight is evenly distributed and it helps in cornering without moving my foot to the ground. Acceleration, pickup, braking and overall performance are literally up to the mark. Seat and suspensions are decent. Mobile charging socket is also there but what really matters for me is a big storage under the seat which is very useful. Buying fresh vegetables and fruits daily is my habit and carrying those on boot in between the legs feels a bit uncomfortable and unsafe as legs are widely opened in that case.
Tvs is a very popular brand nowadays like Bajaj or hero. Availability of parts and service couldn't be a deal breaker.
Pros:
(1) shifting fuel intake to the front manages twice the storage under the seat.
(2) city mileage is more than 50 km/l.
(3) light weight of the scooter makes handling very easy.
(4) down stand alarm is a life saver.
Cons:
(1) fuel tank is underneath the floor. So, i used to be cautious on rough roads with irregular bumps.
Finally, if you want to experience light and smooth rides on a budget then definitely go for it.

If you start reading read till end..
It's one of the best 125cc scooters in it's segment. If you want a scooter that can do daily commute and also for carry house hold things, you can go buy this scooter eyes closed.
It has very comfortable seat and also the material used in the seats are also of very high quality. It's suspension is so smooth
It's design is carry forwarded by jupiter 110. But from far it gives a glimpse of Activa 125 (for me). Performance is very good , not less and not high by its competitors.
"people say tvs service is not good" but it's not true not all 5 fingers are equal, like that not every service center is bad .I have very good service experience. Don't listen to people.
Prose: biggest storage capacity and foot space. Longest and widest seat.
Cons: design flaw , while putting stand down. Not much colour available. Plain colour scheme.

About the Reviewer

I shuffled from too many 2 wheelers (apache 200 4v, tvs ntorq, tvs raider & royal enfield classic 350) and finally bought this tvs jupiter 125 (top model disc + diamond cut alloys).
1. Buying experience: i had a quotation a day before purchase with dealership. Removed unnecessary charges from the price breakdown. Bought in 97000/- in case from S.K. Tvs (Tilak Nagar, Delhi). The day of purchase my scooter was ready to run in less then 30 minutes. So, my buying experience was not bad.
2. Riding experience: I had pulsar 180 before this so, this was the first time i was buying a scooter. After riding for a couple of days, I found that riding this scooter at a speed of below 50-60 km/h is pleasant. Feel like no hurry and start riding and you will enjoy this machine.
3. Looks & performance: front looks of this scooter is average and rear look is good. Headlight performance is great and when you are standing on the red light then people see front fuel lid and look in your eyes with questions. Many time they asked me about the fuel lid and price of the scooter. Coming to the performance, this scooter won't allow you for sudden overtake in traffic situation. Scooter is very comfortable and practical and made for peaceful rides.
4. Service & maintenance: My experience with service centre was neutral. Service centre guys were professional and they were doing their job in a way they are trained. Maintenance cost is not too much and you get 3 services free with this scooter.
5. Pros and cons: Headlight performance is excellent. Boot space is outstanding. Front glove box is great to hold a beer bottle along with one pint.. Handling is awesome, feels totally in your control. Sbt breaking system is life-saver in sudden breaking situation. Diamond cut alloys are looks enhancer. Side-stand engine cut-off and beep is great safety feature. Meter console is very informative and bright. Wider seat is very comfortable and cushiony. I along with wife and daughter sits very comfortable on this.
Cons: Front look of this scooter is very average. Locking boot space is not friendly and need to push on the seat very hard to lock it. If your fuel tank is full then dte feature will not appear until your fuel meter is 2 bars down. Placing the scooter on center stand is little difficult. Grab handle reflector is just a reflecting sticker not a plastic reflector.

About the Reviewer

Everything was fabulous and outstanding about this scooter right from the purchase process to the driving experience which was amazing. Tvs matrix motors, Mira road staff was very very cooperative at every stage of the the purchase process. The handling of the scooter is simply amazing and it zips across in all traffic situations. The two best features are the 33 litre under seat storage and the intelligo automatic stop and start system which enhances the scooters mileage much more than expected. The distance to empty feature is also amazing. The low battery indicator is important as the scooter does not have a kick start system at all which was very surprising for me as this is the first scooter with out a kick start mechanism. Another feature of the tvs scooters is that the odometer is linked to the rear wheel instead of the front wheel which increases the odometer of the scooter even if the scooter is parked on the main stand and accelerated in place which is actually a strange feature which again is a first for me. Overall this scooter is on a rating of 4.5 and the point 5 is only for the missing kick start and the rear wheel odometer system. Thank you for reading my review so patiently. Stay safe, wear your mask and take care. Thank you.

About the Reviewer

I decided to purchase the scooter only after reading Bikewale's review. Booked the top variant (grey) in march and got it after a month's waiting period as it was in high demand during that time. Currently(Aug) there's no waiting period.
Overall experience is a 7/10. Have been using it for daily commutes around 35-40 kms every day and also a couple of short tours ranging 200-250 kms. One thing I can brag about is the smoothness in the 50-60kmph range. It's buttery smooth and feels like an ev sometimes.
Coming to the looks, it's not a head turner but most people do appreciate the design language and the nice-looking alloys. Believe me, it carries a nice touch of premium-ness that is reflected in every bit of the scooter.
Performance is commendable in this price range. Reaches 80 kmph easily and tops at 90. You can easily cruise in 60-70kmph range. You can also do 80 but there will be a sharp drop in fuel efficiency.
With healthy speeds and proper tyre pressure, it can return a mileage of 51kmpl (max recorded by me). The average is 45-50kmpl.
When you constantly ride it for say, more than 100 kms at speeds > 60kmph there is a drop in mileage. In one such situation, I got around 38kmpl. Otherwise, fuel efficiency figures are pretty good.
Handling and shock absorption are where Jupiter 125 kills the competition its THE BEST in the segment according to me. It's fun to ride in cities and traffic. Gets adjustable shockers from Gabriel that does the job perfectly. The tyres are great and provide excellent grip in turns and rains. Even at higher speeds the scooter feels planted and you feel confident.
The braking system is not the best but the disc at the front provides good bite and combo braking really helps.
The headlights are pretty good. It has got nice DRLs in the back and front. The instrument cluster feels great and it's subjective in my opinion. The analogue digital combo is what I like more than the fully digital ones. Its digital unit is a bit small I can say but provides all required information. 2 trip meters and one trip F, Average and instantaneous fuel efficiency, distance to empty, all warnings like engine oil, low battery, side stand, service due, ISG and engine warnings etc.
Coming to electronics it has got a side stand cut-off sensor and intelli-go which powers off the engine in halts.
Maintenance and parts availability is never an issue with TVS. Just go through the manual book for more information about what's needed to be checked/changed during the respective service and confirm with the technician whether its done correctly or not.
Brownie points for external fuel filler, external charging socket, storage area below the charging socket to put your phone/power bank, water bottle, glasses; large boot space and wide floorboard.
Most convenient and practical family scooter.
