Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is good among all of its variants - Disc, Drum and Alloy - Activa 125?
  • Disc and alloys are not necessary, alloys are just for looks, disc provides better braking but drums too are very good for braking, but if you drive rough, discs are made for you
  • The Disc brakes always have a better braking power than the Drum brakes.So it is safer and preferable with Alloy Wheels.Hope this helps! Happy riding!
  • Alloy is a type of wheel base on which tyre is mounted. So considered as betyer as compared to spoke or sheet metal frame.Disc brake is more efficient

Q. I am 6 feet tall and I commute 100 km everyday, which scooter should I buy for comfort driving among Access 125, Activa 125, Vespa and Ntorq 125
  • Scooter are basically for short distance or within our area premisesAnd if you travel so long then it's not worth buying scooty or bike. Instead of this take a second hand good car with cng and travel with comfort.Scooter is basically for area people take these for long rides but for daily commute it's very difficult.100 Kms = 1.45 to 2 hours of journey so please take decision wisely.
  • If you commute 100 kms everyday, you should consider buying a bike with good suspension rather than choosing a scooter. Riding 100 kms in activa 125 will gradually give you back pain as it is designed mainly for city rides with good roads..front suspension of activa 125 is telescopic.and its engine performance is also good ..but not for everyday long journeys.
  • For 100 km Daily i will suggest go for Hero Passion Plus or TVS Victor . Since these 2 bikes are comfortable driving all day long without putting hole in your pocket . Don't even bother to consider scooter for 100 km a day . Its will give you pain in your lower back and right hand side shoulder & will drill a hole in your pocket .

Q. I travel almost 80 Kms per day which scooter is good between Access, Activa and Jupiter?
  • I recommend u to go for Vespa as it's really comfortable for long distance commuting if u usage is within city limits and u want reliable engine then go for activa 125 and practicality is way far better in activa than Vespa!!
  • Activa, as quality of scooter and it's after sales services are great. activa could give a lower average as compared to access but the pickup and feel of riding it is very good
  • I am using Activa i ( 110 cc) for 122 km up and 122 km down once in a week.

    SXL 125 elegance 

    The Ve­spa SXL 125 is a nice scooter. I have ridde­n it for a while. The scooter looks gre­at and runs smoothly. It is one of the cheape­st options available. But, the storage space­ is a bit small. This can make it hard to carry groceries or othe­r things. Still, the scooter looks beautiful. It is comfortable­ to ride. And it saves fuel. So, it is a fantastic choice­ for city travel.

    Timeless Elegance in Every Ride 

    Vespa SXL 125 is the favorite of those old and as well as young who have refined the modern classic elegance in the field of scooter riding. The lasting characteristic of the motorbike is its stylish design and the powerful 125cc engine that merges both style and performance with a perfect harmony.

As I give the Vespa model a wink of appreciation to the past and a glance forward towards the future, this admiration is irrational.
