Do update.

What will be the Use

Are you considering electric as an option or not

Do update, you will surely get proper suggestions

Do you want to buy electric or petrol

If usage is more than 25km per day. Get an electric two wheeler.

Preference in below order.

Ola s1 pro/S1

Tvs icube

Vida by Hero

Ather

If daily usage is less, buy an Activa, eyes closed. Preferably the keyless version.( 110 cc/ 125 cc)

More usage per day does not mean electric are good. I would prefer electrics as secondary vehicles as sometimes range is not enough for some travels

@newmagic in petrol version better go with a reputed seller in your city for good after sales service

Electric not a first preference, can only consider if see strong benefits that can cover the extra cost EV has

Usage would be local - daily run of 10-20 km .

Looking for a brand or model that requires minimal after sales service

I personally use activa 6g now and before that was using 2g but never left me somewhere in middle of the road anyday.

I own activa 6g and okinawa praise pro. Primary vehicle is praise pro and activa is  used only for long distance commutes. In electric you get benifits such near to zero maintenance

ACTIVA

For daily run 20KM
Means nearly 50 rs worth fuel consumption
Monthly 1500 rs approximately
If you buy an ev u will be saving at least 1000 bucks per month

So u can consider That cheapest ola which gives 80-100km range


Now coming to normal scooty
I will suggest you to go for Honda one
Good balance, good breaking ( mostly combined breaking system ) , lightweight,
Handy.

U can check Honda duo ( 85K approx )
Gives around 40 milage
Or Activa ( for Better build quality)


Points you need to check
should have cbs
Telescopic front suspension
Good turning radius
Good Headlight


So take a test drive check vibration if any , smoothness and then decide

Accessories nothing comes for free
Most of the protection guard actually demage the fiber body




( Dont go for any higher cc scooty like tvs ntoraque or that yamaha 155 cc one )

Tvs Jupiter

Just dont write down everything if you dont have any real life experience with any of them in that list

Like i have idea about that Ather & Ola

That ola S1 belongs to my friend

He do travel 40+40 km , 6 days a week , its been 10 months, only 1 servicing ( kind of routine checkup) he did , besides that no major issues

The only issues he faced is mostly software

( Nothing major )

I meant to say if you dont have any real life exp just dont write random names.

My personal view - if your purchase is immediate (within next 2 months), stick to ICE. Read this -> https://www.desidime.com/discussions/electric-v...

The only seemingly decent 2W EV for which I haven't come across any feedbacks/reviews is Hero Vida!! Will keep an eye on it, although its pretty costlier.

Petrol activa, Electic Ola s1

EV is better if staying in metro,depends for other city

Ola

Seems like you advise someone only after getting experience.  So funny !!!

If you have any iota of common sense then do read my comment again.

Petrol: TVS Jupiter

Electric: TVS icube

You wrong Vida By Hero in your Sugg list
Do check its review
U will get why i said that
Bdw i never had any intention to hurt u with my reply
If i did m sorry for that.

Electric : high insurance cost + high battery cost replacement, range anxiety, low charging infrastructure

Petrol : less insurance cost + long range + low repair cost

Both have benefits and disadvantages so choose wisely.

Btw, I am also considering buying a new two wheeler and I will go for petrol preferably suzuki access or something similar.

Dont buy activa

Any specific reasons brother...?

6g is worst, scotty starts shaking once you go 50+, no space in dicky, except helmet you cant keep even a small book, single switch for dicky and fuel inlet which increases maintenance cost for sure in future.
