Looking to buy a scooty - please suggest
- Which all brands can be considered ( please mention specific model that is recommended )
- What all features I should look into my buying decision ( will be helpful to classify must have features Vs. good to have features)
- Should I purchase online or via dealer ( share your experiences if purchased online )
- While purchasing via dealer what all accessories I should get along with the vehicle as free ( given mostly free )
- Any other thing to keep in mind.
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 .

So far I shortlisted TVS Jupiter and suzuki access - any bad experience on these will help me to decide the final one...want to get peace of mind due to small but inconvenient maintenance or service issues...nor would have money bucket to buy again atleast for next 5 years...

Hello everyone,
Bumping this thread with a noob query. Never had a 2 wheeler in the family. Was wondering if the weight of the 2 wheeler will have an impact on the user experience. The concerned user would be a child weighing 45 kgs. Any other relevant suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your inputs !

If it is a child I guess you need to go for non licensed one EV only

He would be turning 18 next year and it's for nearby area only, so wanted actual scooty for practice. We don't want to buy another car as we prefer waiting for electric vehicles to become cheap and increased infrastructure.

i had bought 2nd hand TVS jupiter for 78k which was just 3 months old. there were 3 company services remaining when I bought it and experience has been very good so far. the seller was an recent graduate and in sales. he wanted to buy electric vehicle as the petrol cost had shoot-up during covid. overall, i found the deal decent

I have suzuki burgman. I purchased in 2019. Not a single issue till date. It hasA same tried and tested engine of access. Plus looks stylish. Dicky space is also decent. Seat opening is integrated in the main key. Headlight is bright. Digital instrument cluster. 125 cc engine gives a descent acceleration.
Go test ride for 2-3 short listed brands.

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)
I'm buying Activa today, why keyless one preferred? Any other things to consider?

All my cars have keyless systems and I found them very usable.
I can't deal with fiddling with keys on daily basis.

Honda doesn't come with navigation.
Access 125 has the best engine in 125 cc segment

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.
