Hello guys,
I’m looking to buy a scooter in Delhi and have only known TVS jupiter & Honda Activa. But I see a lot of new scooter models have come up over the last couple of years.

Could someone please suggest the best scooter to go for?

I’m not looking at going over budget, so the swanky ones retailing for 80k and above can be ruled out. Do let me know however if you feel a premium scooter in this higher price range is actually good(may look for a used one instead).

Thanks in advance.

If your requirement is not to go outside city limits, buy a electric one and live tension free of any maintenance or petrol price.

Go for Suzuki’s access 125 it is very underrated scooter. It has the best engine and the seats are also comfortable. Mileage is also good. I got it for 74-76k all the expenses included with accessories

Your requirements should be like
1) telescopic front forks, rules out Activa 110 cc
2) metal body rules out a lot of scooters
3) bs vi compliance
4) combi brake
5) front disc brake if possible
Because of geometry of scooters is such that long wheelbase with short wheels design doesn’t really support miniaturised Earl’s forks, ex Honda Activa. Front brakes are the most powerful one. You apply on Honda Activa , not 125, you won’t feel bite of brakes, the front of the scooter will get lifted up a bit, mass keeps on getting swinging back n forth. It’s really annoying. That’s why Activa started giving combi brakes in Activa, besides safety reasons. In telescopic fork equipped scooters you can employ disc brakes, light squeeze and a rapid stop, quick squeeze and skidding is possible. But it’s far more safer. And if you apply brakes, relative mass of the rider + scooter doesn’t shift back n forth between front and rear.
2) Metal body is for insurance purposes and long lasting experience
3) pollution purposes and future proof
4) safety issue. Both front n rear brakes engaged simultaneously gives you better stopping power front engaging front alone, true in scooters, cruisers, normal motorcycles. In sports bikes, front brakes alone are sufficient at high speed, at low to mid both brakes are required
